According to the site plan and narrative, the proposed project consists of construction of a 30' x 40' accessory structure outside the 40-foot bluffline setback with associated grading that will involve a total of 1200 sq. ft. of land disturbance.

The proposed accessory structure is more than 200 feet from the OHWM of the St. Croix River, greater than 25' from any property line, and is greater than 40 feet from the bluffline pursuant to requirements in Section 17.36.G.5.c.a); 3.

The proposed garage will not exceed the maximum height of 20 feet in compliance with Section 17.12.(5) as calculated using construction drawings submitted. With conditions that the structure does not protrude above the bluffline as viewed from near mid-river, that windows.and building materials on the structure utilize earth- tone colors and non-reflective surfaces, this project will meet standards in Sections'! 7.36 G.5.c.2)a) and 17.36 H.1 with regard to being visually inconspicuous; 5.

S ve Olson, Land & Water Conservation Dept., reviewed the application and the stormwater management plan and found it to be complete. The applicant proposes to install a rain garden to the west of the garage, approx. 60'x 10'x 0.5' deep, which will infiltrate 300 cubic feet of runoff (1`200 sq. ft. of disturbance requires 150 cubic feet of infiltration). Roof drainage will not be guttered, but will drain into rock infiltration trenches on the north and south side of the building. Installation of infiltration device(s) will provide stormwater control consistent with requirements in Section 17.36 H.7.; 7. Mike Wenholz of the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the application and stated that the department had no comments regarding issuance of the permit except to assure no part of the proposed garage is within 200 feet of the bluffline; 8.
