The City Council of the City of Elk River hereby amends Section
904 of the Elk River Code of Ordinances titled "Shoreland

The City of Elk River has adopted a Shoreland Management

DNR Protected lake, pond or flowage and 300 ft. from a river or

The Shore land Management Ordinance adopts a shore land
classification system for identifying protected water bodies.
The ordinance also adopts setbacks for structures and sewage
treatment systems as well as lot size and width standards
within the shore 1 and district. The Shoreland Management
Ordinance adopts the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's
Individual Sewage Treatment System Standards Chapter 7080 and
sets forth standards and procedures for dealing with
nonconforming septic systems. This ordinance also gives the
City of Elk River the authority to review Planned Unit
Development proposals and sets forth procedures and criteria
which must be followed in reviewing such requests.
The ordinance designates the Zoning Administrator as the
official responsible to administer and enforce the Shore 1 and
Management Ordinance. This ordinance requires a permit before
shoreland alterations, placement of fill, or excavation can be
done wi thin the shoreland district and sets forth procedures
and requirements for obtaining such permits. Standards are
also set forth for mineral excavation, forestry and
agricultural uses. The ordinance further establishes standards
and procedures for obtaining variances and conditional use
permits within the shore land district. The ordinance also
regulates nonconforming uses and nonconforming legal lots of
record within the shore 1 and district and establishes penalties
for violations of the Shore land Management Ordinance.
