Lower St. Croix River management rules - Wild & Scenic Rivers: Minnesota DNR Page 2 of 15
designation and the interim development regulations are no longer in effect for
lands and waters under their jurisdiction. If any local unit of government fails to

The standards and criteria for the Lower Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway in
Minnesota, as hereby set forth in parts 6105.0351 to 6105.0550, apply to both

River acts, the master plan, and these standards and criteria.
6105.0354 DEFINITIONS.

nd not less than 40 feet from a bluff line.
B. Exceptions to the minimum setbacks:
(1) In rural districts, structure setback from a bluff line may be reduced up to a
minimum of 40 feet when it can be demonstrated that no change in the natural
appearance of the shoreline, slope, and bluff line will occur and the structure will
be visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river. In
reviewing the proposed building site, the local authority, in cooperation with an
agent of the commissioner of natural resources, may determine that the
structure setback can be varied to within the 40 -to- 100 -foot range from a bluff
line if the natural appearance of the shoreline, slope, and bluff line is preserved,
and if the applicant agrees to donate a scenic easement to the state. Such scenic
easement shall specify that on all land lying from the proposed building line to
the river, or property line closest to the river, no destruction, cutting, trimming,
or removal of trees, shrubs, bushes, or plants, and no topographic changes of the
natural landscape by excavation, drainage, filling, dumping, or any other means

bluff line has already been established by existing principal dwelling unit
structures on adjacent Tots on both sides of the proposed building site, the
setback of the proposed structure shall be the average setback of the existing
dwelling units plus at least 40 feet, or the required minimum setbacks of the
particular zoning district, whichever distance is less from the average setback
line. This exception shall apply only to substandard lots which do not meet the
minimum lot width requirements of part 6105.0380, subpart 3.
(3) Developments subject to state permits which provide services to the public
and which, by their nature, require location on or near public waters shall be
subject to the conditions of the state permits as provided in parts 6105.0390 and
6105.0410 to 6105.0440.

governments to extend into the water the minimum distance necessary to
facilitate the launching or mooring of watercraft during the open -water season.
(5) Signs may be allowed as approved by federal, state, or local governments
which are necessary for the public health and safety. Signs may also be allowed
that indicate areas that are available or not available for public use. Outside the
minimum setbacks within the Saint Croix Riverway, signs that are otherwise
lawful are permitted, provided they will be visually inconspicuous in summer
months as viewed from the river.
(6) Stairways and lifts to enable access from bluffland properties to the water on
steep slopes may be allowed by the local authority, provided the disruption of
vegetation and topography is kept to a minimum and the structure will be
visually inconspicuous in summer months as viewed from the river.

floodway, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, section 104.02. Outside the
floodway, structures shall be placed at an elevation consistent with any applicable
floodplain management ordinance. Local units of government lacking such
ordinances shall adopt floodplain management regulations in accordance with
Minnesota Statutes, section 104.04. Until such adoption, the elevation to which
the lowest floor of a structure, including a basement, shall be placed, shall be
determined after an evaluation of available flood information, and shall be
consistent with the statewide standards and criteria for management of floodplain
areas in Minnesota.
C. The total area of all impervious surfaces on a lot shall not exceed 20 percent

The design of a marina shall allow for screening between the harbor and the main
channel of the watercourse so as to make marina facilities visually inconspicuous
in summer months as viewed from the river.
An alternative to use of the water surface for new marinas or marina expansions
could be the provision of drydocking facilities for the storage of boats during the
open -water season.
Subp. 3. Permit requirements. No construction or development associated with a
marina shall begin until all of the following authorizations have been obtained by
the applicant:

associated with a marina, a public hearing shall be held by the local authority to
consider a marina as a conditional use in accordance with part 6105.0530,
subparts 2 to 5. The local authority may approve or deny the marina as a result
of the public hearing. If the local authority approves the marina, final issuance of
the local permit shall be conditioned upon the granting of all state and federal
permits required for a marina.
B. Water authorization.
(1) Minnesota Statutes, section 105.42 requires a permit from the commissioner
to change the course, current, or cross - section of public waters wholly or partly
within the state in the Saint Croix Riverway by any means, including, but not
limited to, filling, excavating, or placing of any materials in or on the beds of

screening shall be a primary consideration of the commissioner in reviewing
marina permit applications in the Saint Croix Riverway. Aesthetic incompatibility
with the purposes of these standards and criteria shall be adequate justification
for denial of a permit application by the commissioner.
(5) Shoreline protective structures authorized by permit, such as rock riprap
revetments, shall be of natural earth color tones so as to be visually
inconspicuous from the river.
(6) Below the ordinary high -water mark in the watercourse outside of harbors, no
permanent pilings, piers, docks, levees, jetties, breakwaters, or the like shall be
authorized for marinas.
C. Sanitary authorization. All fueling and sanitary facilities associated with a
marina shall conform to applicable standards, criteria, and rules of the Minnesota

Mayor Beaudet:
We will get to you the official score from CBO on the bridge legislation once it is available. Until then, we recommend you
work with Mn /DOT. It was Senator Klobuchar's and Mn /DOT's goal to ensure that the 2005 funding remains available for its
original purpose, which it does under the language passed without objection by the U.S. Senate last week. Mn /DOT would be
the entity that you would work with should the project move forward.
Sincerely,
Travis

RE: Building Official Position
Dear Julie:
Congratulations, the City Council is extending to you an offer of employme o a:. m he City's n Building Official, Per our
discussions, this letter should be considered as a formal offer for employmen .nd .uch offer mai ains the following conditions:
1. Your position is represented and bound by the AFSCME — Local 517 '.n. (I believe they have a new designation
number) You must comply with the terms of such Agreement(s) between the City and AFSCME.
2. You are bound and benefited by all City Ordinances including those related to Employee Relations - Chapter 203 and
other personnel requirements.
3. You must pass a relevant "background check" by the City Police Department. Please provide a photocopy of your valid
Driver's License when you retum this document. Should there be findings that are materially inconsistent with the
position or general city employment the City may revoke this offer.

5. The date you shall assume the full position is to be June 29th, 2012. While there is a 6 month probationary period per
the AFSCME contract, this refers to the City's desire to maintain you as an employee in general once you would
assume the position. However, the City is willing to offer a ninety day trial / claw -back period, whereby should the
position not be workable for the City, you may revert to your former status and position. Under this provision the City
would anticipate providing reasonable rationale for such decision, but will not be required to provide such if it selects
not to. Similarly, you may select to revert back to your former position within the 90 day period should you desire for
any reason. Beyond the 90 day period, also consistent with Art 9.2 of the AFSCME Labor Agreement you would have
no direct or implied rights to your former position and your former position will be advertised for intemal or extemal
replacement, eliminated, significantly altered or otherwise vacated.
6. You shall commence work at Step #2 in the current pay scale (base pay). The City does agree to preserve your years
