(b) Lot area, width and density requisites for lots located in shoreland areas shall not be less than those required in Section 10.05 (4) and (5) R-1 Residence District, Section 10.16 (3) General Provisions and Exceptions. (c) Setbacks from water in shoreland areas for all buildings and structures, except piers, hoist, boathouses and similar uses shall be not less than seventy-five (75) feet measured horizontally, and not less than two (2) feet measured verti- cally from a normal high water line unless otherwise specified by the County flood plain zoning ordinance provisions. (d) Exceptions to setbacks from water in shoreland areas shall be permitted as follows: A building on a lot which is within one-hundred (100) feet of an existing building or buildings with setbacks less than 75 feet, shall have a setback at least as great as the setback of either adjoining building, but in no case shall the set- back be less than fifty (50) feet. (e) Normal high water line shall be defined for the purpose of this ordinance as the line where natural vegetation changes from predominantly aquatic to predominantly terrestrial. The Zoning Administrator shall determine the location of the normal high water elevation line where not established by a state or county governmental agency. (f) Removal of trees in excess of twenty (20) percent of the number of trees within 75 feet from the high water mark on a lot or parcel of land is prohibited in shoreland areas, and no building permit for a building or structure shall be issued for property so situated where more than twenty (20) percent of the trees have been removed since the date of adoption of this provision, provided, however, that at the discretion of the property owner removal of dead, diseased or dying trees, or silvicultural thinning shall be permitted. In addition removal of trees in ex- cess of twenty (20) percent may be permitted by the Board of Adjustment as a Special Exception. In passing on a Special Exception Permit, the Board of Adjust- ment shall, in so far as practicable, protect scenic beauty, control erosion and reduce effluent and nutrient flow from the shoreland. (g) Filling and grading which would result in substantial detriment to navigable waters by reason of erosion, sedimentation, or impairment of fish or aquatic life is prohibited. A special exception permit from the Board of Adjustment shall be required in addition to permits permitted by state agencies under the Statutes for any fill- ing or grading of any area which is within three hundred (300) feet of a navigable body of water and which has surface drainage toward the water and on which there is filling or grading of more than 1,000 square feet of area. In passing on a Special Exception Permit, the Board of Adjustment shall evaluate the effect of the proposal on possible water pollution including erosion and sedimentation, maintenance of safe and healthful conditions. This provision shall not apply to soil conservation prac- tices such as terraces, run-off diversion, grassed waterways constructed for sedi- ment retardation. - 37 -
