§ 152.042 SPECIAL RESTRICTIONS IN SHORELINE AREA.
   In addition to being subject to all regulations which apply in the district in which it is located, the portion of any property within the shoreline area as defined in § 152.008 shall also be subject to the following special restrictions.
   (A)   The actual lakeshore shall be used only for docks, piers, and boat lifts and the keeping of boats.

   (C)   Picnic tables, barbecue grills, and other similar property may be kept within the shoreline area.
   (D)   Lawnmowers and other equipment used to maintain the property shall be kept in a suitable accessory building, if one is available. If one is not, they shall be kept under a deck or as near a structure upon the property as may be done.
   (E)   If the keeping or parking of certain vehicles upon the portion of the property not within the shoreline area would require that they be kept or parked upon the front or side yard of the principal structure upon the property, the following may be kept or parked in the shoreline area, provided that they are kept or parked so as to be as little noticeable as possible to users of the lake: boat trailers, and motorized vehicles actually in use, including cars, vans, pickups, and motorcycles, but not including trucks and buses.
   (F)   No structure may be placed within the shoreline area upon any property which does not measure in excess of 60 feet in depth, measured at a right angle to the ordinary high water level.

§ 152.043 DOCK PLACEMENT AND REGULATIONS.
   The following regulations shall apply in the placing of docks in or near public waters:
   (A)   All docks, piers, wharves, boat lifts, or other structures placed within public waters, shall meet a minimum setback of five feet from the area created when projecting the lot width at the shoreline into the water body, using the lot line.
   (B)   In unique circumstances where due to the curvature of the shoreline, such a projection of the lot width would result in an undue burden on the property owner, the city, or their designated representative, may designate a different setback. Such a determination shall take into consideration any agreements between the affected landowners.
   (C)   Docks must be placed so that no portion of the dock, including the “L” extensions or additions, and no accessory or ancillary structures or equipment (including mooring buoys, boat lifts, shore trackers or swimming platforms) extends across the projection of the setback from the lot line into the lake. Docks must also be placed so as not to block access from adjacent property to open water. The storage of all docks, and all watercraft or water oriented items, shall also be subject to this property setback rule.
   (D)   Notwithstanding any provision of this section to the contrary, the five foot setback for docks shall not apply to the extent necessary to allow ingress to, or egress from, a legal, non-conforming boat house or water-oriented accessory structure.
   (E)   Docks, or portions of docks, intended as accesses to public waters shall not be rented, leased or used by persons, or their guests, who do not own or rent the property on which the dock is located. Renting of multiple docks or portions of a lot shall not be allowed.
   (F)   This section shall apply to the use, maintenance and installation of any dock and accessory or ancillary structures or equipment at any time.
   (G)   Dock length and width is subject to permitting requirements and/or restrictions imposed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
