RESOLUTION REGARDING INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF SHORELAND ZONING ORDINANCE WHEREAS, the Polk County Board of Supervisors adopted its current Shoreland Zoning Ordinance on or about April 1, 2010. (“Shoreland Ordinance�); and WHEREAS, as is the case with most ordinances, in many instances, provisions of the Shoreland Ordinance could fairly have more than one interpretation; and WHEREAS, it has come to the attention of the Board of Supervisors, through a number of citizen complaints that the manner in which the Shoreland Ordinance is applied, enforced and interpreted is oftentimes unnecessarily restrictive and unfair; and WHEREAS, as a result of the economic importance of tourism related to Polk County’s lakes and rivers, an overly restrictive or unnecessarily burdensome interpretation or application of the Shoreland Ordinance, when a less restrictive or burdensome interpretation is available under the Shoreland Ordinance, can cause serious and harmful consequences to the property owner and can cause negative consequences for the local economy, local businesses, jobs, economic growth and the prosperity of the citizens of Polk County; and WHEREAS, the ultimate goal of all of Polk County’s ordinances should effectuate life, liberty and happiness of the citizens of Polk County; and WHEREAS, a vibrant economy and good jobs are critical to any notion of life, liberty and happiness; and WHEREAS, the public policy of land use regulation favors the free and unrestricted use of private property such that provisions of land use ordinances that restrict the use of property must be in clear, unambiguous and peremptory terms. NOW, THEREFORE, BE lT RESOLVED, that the public policy of Polk County shall favor the free and unrestricted use of private property, a natural result of which policy will lead to economic development and job creation. In order to carry out this public policy, the Shoreland Ordinance shall be strictly construed in favor of the property owner and ambiguities in the Shoreland Ordinance shall be resolved in favor of the free use of private property.
