(Spirit Lake)– A move may be afoot for a unified shoreline ordinance in Dickinson county. Supervisor Steve Clark represents the Board of Supervisors on the Dickinson County Cleanwater Alliance. Speaking at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, Clark said there’s been some preliminary discussion along that line…
The discussion stems from last year’s flood that resulted in multiple, massive shoreline collapses around the Iowa Great Lakes. Currently, each city, along with the county, have their own shoreline zoning ordinances which have wide variations from one jurisdiction to the other. Officials say that’s causing confusion and frustration among property owners trying to make repairs.
