The purpose of this agenda item is to authorize the release of Scott WMO Comprehensive Water Resources 

Management Plan Amendment #1 for BWSR final review and approval. The Scott WMO Comprehensive 

Water Resource Management Plan was adopted June 9, 2009. However, at that time water quality studies for 

Sand Creek, and Cedar and McMahon Lakes were underway; and Plan specifically anticipated completing an 

amendment once the studies were complete in order incorporate implementation items identified in the studies. 

These studies were completed in the summer of 2010 and the anticipated amendment was written and 

released for the 60 agency review and comment period in accordance with applicable requirements. The 

comment period ended December 3, 2010. The Amendment was also reviewed with the County Board and a 

public hearing held January 11, 2011. Only one agency comment was received. The comment was minor and 

a response was sent out in writing to the review agency. The next step in the process is to submit the 

amendment to BWSR for their final review and approval.

Paul Nelson, Natural Resource Program Manager and Scott WMO Administrator is the contact for this action at 

496-8054 or pnelson@co.scott.mn.us.

The purpose of this agenda item is to adopt Resolution No. 2011-014; approving Amendments to Chapter 1 

Title and Applications; Chapter 4 General Provisions; Chapter 9 Animals, Stables, and Feedlots; Chapter 16 

Land Use Descriptions and Standards; Chapter 20 General Zoning District; and Chapter 70 Shoreland District 

of Scott County Zoning Ordinance No. 3. 

The Planning Advisory Commission held a public hearing on these amendments on January 10, 2010 and, 

after hearing from a township official endorsing the change to minimum lot frontages on cul-de-sac bulbs and a

Farm Advisory Task Force member endorsing the changes to the farm-related provisions, unanimously 

recommended Board approval with one minor change to the definition of “junk vehicles.” 


None. 

One year ago, the County Board adopted a wide range of comprehensive revisions to the Zoning Ordinance to 

implement the 2030 Comprehensive Plan Update. Since the adoption of those revisions, staff and the 

Planning Commission have worked on a number of follow-up items that were raised during last year’s public 

hearing. Additionally, while working with the ordinance over the past year staff has encountered a few sections 

where ordinance language needs to be updated or clarified. Other changes are recommended from 

discussions with the Scott County Farm Advisory Task Force and Scott Soil and Water Conservation District 

(SWCD) This RBA provides an explanation for each of the proposed amendments, organized by Chapter (or 

Exhibit). For each exhibit, underlined text is proposed new language and strikethrough text is proposed 

deleted language. 

Chapter 1 (Exhibit 1) 

 

Definitions: Staff from the SWCD recommended changes this past summer to the zoning definitions for 

“Crop Production”, “Pasturing”, and “Productive Acreage”. SWCD staff felt the existing definitions are 

vague and devoid of metrics necessary to enable objective interpretation. The proposed changes 

attempt to reflect how SWCD staff is currently interpreting the code. These definitions were discussed 

and reviewed by the Farm Advisory Task Force, which expressed no objection to the proposed 

definition changes. Planning staff is recommending changes to the definition for “Street” in the zoning 

ordinance to match the proposed definition in the subdivision ordinance. 


 

 

 

Lot Frontage on Cul-de-Sacs: Based on comments from Township officials during recent discussions 

concerning maintenance of cul-de-sacs, staff is recommending eliminating the exception allowing lots 

on cul-de-sac turnarounds to a minimum of 50 feet of public road frontage; instead these lots must 

conform to the same minimum lot frontage as all other types of lots (66 feet). Township officials 

indicated that these more narrower lots frontages on cul-de-sac bulbs result in tighter placement of 

driveways and mailboxes, which further results in road maintenance/snow removal issues. 

Building Exteriors/Roofs: Based on comments received at last year’s public hearing from industrial land 

owners and developers, staff is recommending adding natural or composite wood as an acceptable 

exterior building finish for new or expanding principal commercial, industrial and institutional buildings. 

Additionally, staff is recommending adding fabric as an acceptable roofing material for commercial, 

industrial or institutional buildings. 

Junk Vehicles/Outdoor Storage: The Planning Commission has held a couple of workshops to discuss 

the proposed changes to outdoor storage standards concerning junk or inoperable vehicles and 

discarded goods, products and materials. The overall intent of these proposed changes are to better 

define what constitutes a property maintenance/storage violation and offer more options for 

enforcement to grant relief to the complainants and to resolve nuisance issues. At the public hearing 

last month, the Planning Commission requested to drop unlicensed vehicles as a criteria for 

determining “junk vehicles,” as it was noted that some property owners maintain operable stock cars, 

demolition derby cars, or field trucks on their property and because they don’t travel with these vehicles 

over the road, they do not need a license. 


 

Keeping of Animals: Revisions to Chapter 9 are being proposed by SWCD staff for the purpose of 

improving both clarity and flexibility. Improved flexibility is achieved by adding an Administrative Permit

option for the keeping of animals. Currently, the code limits how many animals a landowner can have 

based on the amount of “productive acreage” they have. This fails to recognize the role and impact 

management can play. A landowner could, for example, have fewer animals than the code currently 

allows but create a greater environmental impact than someone who has more animals but does a 

better job of management. The Administrative Permit would give staff the flexibility to allow a landowner 

to exceed the minimum animal densities subject to compliance with approved best management 

practices. These changes to Chapter 9 were discussed and reviewed by the Farm Advisory Task 

Force, which expressed no objection to the proposed changes. 


 

 

 

 

Ag Buildings and Uses: Staff is recommending modifications to the description of “Agricultural 

Buildings” and “Agricultural Uses” based on direction from the Farm Advisory Task Force. The 

changes allow an agricultural building to be used as a place for employees to process, treat or package 

farm products – as long as those farm products were grown on site. Ag buildings cannot be occupied 

by the general public. The recommended change to Agricultural Use reflects the growing trend of 

smaller, locally-grown operations that provide seasonal share distributions. 

Utility Lot Size: Staff is recommending a clarification that would allow lots used for utility structures or 

similar essential services to be exempt from the minimum lot size requirements set by the zoning 

district. 

Drinking Establishments: Based on a request by Spring Lake Township, staff is recommending 

removing “drinking places” from the description of retail commercial establishments allowed as an 

Administrative Use in the C-1 General Commercial Zoning District and moving it to Restaurants – which 

is allowed as a Conditional Use. Township officials felt and staff agrees that drinking establishments 

are more appropriately reviewed as a conditional rather than administrative use because CUP’s require 

neighborhood notification and public review process. 

Landscape Supply: Staff is recommending adding landscape supply with “Lumber Yard” as the two 

uses are similar, and both would remain allowed as a conditional use in both the C-1 General 

Commercial and I-1 Rural Industrial Zoning Districts. 


 

 

Lake Classification: The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) updated its Public Waters 

Inventory (PWI) in late 2008 and released new geographic data last year. The PWI is the basis for the 

Shoreland Zoning Overlay that regulates DNR protected waters within Scott County. Most of the 

changes to the lakes tables are minor name corrections and an Ordinary High Water Level adjustment, 

but the one significant change is that Markley Lake in section 6, Credit River Township has been 

changed from a Natural Environment Lake to a Recreational Development Lake. This change means 

reduced setback requirements for parcels adjacent to the lake. 

Agricultural Uses in Shoreland Areas: The changes to section 70-8-11 are recommended by SWCD 

staff to clarify management of vegetative cover and review of agricultural uses by the SWCD within 

Shoreland areas. 


 

Uses Table: The recommended changes to the Uses Table reflect the amendments described under 

Chapter 16 and Chapter 9. 

Staff is recommending approval of Resolution # 2011-014.

Scott County has been chosen as one of only four counties in Minnesota by the American Cancer Society to 

participate in the Cancer Prevention Study - 3 (CPS-3). This is a major event for Scott County and aligns with 

Scott County goal to Create Safe, Healthy, and Livable Communities and the objectives of the Carver-Scott 

State Health Improvement Program (SHIP). 

Relay For Life of Scott County is honored to be chosen as a CPS-3 Enrollment Site for 2011! This is a once in 

a lifetime opportunity to be involved in a very personal way for cancer research. Participation can help save 

lives and fight back against cancer by enrolling in the CPS-3 locally at the Relay For Life of Scott County 

during the summer of 2011. Participation with this study will help future generations and more birthdays to be 

celebrated. Participation by Scott County citizens in the CPS-3 is a great way to honor a loved one who has 

been inflicted with cancer. This is research today for a cancer-free tomorrow.

The CPS-1 study began back in 1959. The American Cancer Society found a link between smoking and 

cancer that was previously unknown. The CPS-2 study began back in 1982. The test was aimed at people 

between the ages of 50 and 74. The result found a link between human lifestyles (diet, exercise, etc.) and 

cancer that was previously unknown. The CPS-3 study plans to replace CPS-2 by targeting ages 30 through 

65 and increasing the diversity of participants. 

Relay For Life of Scott County is excited to offer enrollment for CPS-3 this summer. More details will be 

provided during the kick-off for this unique opportunity for Relay participants and area residents to really make 

a difference in the fight against cancer and participate in meaningful research. In the meantime, for more 

information: Please contact Ruby Winings, Relay For Life of Scott County CPS-3 Chair, email: 

cps3scottcounty@gmail.com or call 952-240-9536. 

Fiscal Impact: None.
