However drafting <br /> regulations that does so, while meeting the goals of clarity has proven problematic. If an <br /> ordinance isn't clear,communicating the requirements is challenging,and the regulations is prone <br /> to misOinterpretation. <br /> Staff has developed three options to address the stated goals: <br /> Option 1 (Sight Line) <br /> 78-1279 (6) Average lakeshore setback. Average lakeshore setback shall be a line <br /> drawn connecting the most adjacent lake side corners of the principal structures on <br /> the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. No principal or acccscory building shall be <br /> located closer to the lakeshore than the average distance from the shoreline of <br /> existing residence buildings on adjacent lots; except that this does not apply to patios <br /> and other accessory structures less than 42 inches above existing grade, stairways, <br /> lifts, landings, lockboxes, flagpoles and pump houses. Further, the average lakeshore <br /> setback shall apply only to classified lakes and shall not apply to tributaries. The <br /> average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward <br /> protrusions of the residence buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. <br /> a. In situations where improvement is proposed on a lot adjacent to a vacant lot <br /> or right-of-way, the average lake shore setback shall be equivalent to the <br /> setback of the most lakeward protrusion of the residence building on the <br /> immediately adjacent improved lakeshore lot. <br /> b. For lots with lakeshore on two opposing sides, the average lakeshore shall <br /> only apply to the side opposite the street. <br /> Option 2 (True average) <br /> Section 78-1279 (6) Average lakeshore setback. No principal or accessory building <br /> shall be located closer to the lakeshore than the Average Lake Shore Setback, a <br /> setback distance established by the average of the distance between the most <br /> lakeward protrusion of the principal structures and the OHWL on the two immediately <br /> adjacent improved residential lakeshore lots. This averaged distance shall be <br /> measured from the lakeshore. average distance from the shoreline of existing <br /> residence buildings on adjacent lots; except that this does not apply to patios and <br /> other accessory structures less than 42 inches above existing grade, stairways, lifts, <br /> landings, lockboxes, flagpoles and pump houses. Further, the average lakeshore <br /> setback shall apply only to classified lakes and shall not apply to tributaries. The <br /> average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward <br /> protrusions of the residence buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots. <br /> a. In situations where improvement is proposed on a lot adjacent to a vacant lot <br /> or right-of-way, the average lake shore setback shall be equivalent to the <br /> setback of the most lakeward protrusion of the residence building on the <br /> immediately adjacent improved lakeshore lot. <br /> b. For lots with lakeshore on two opposing sides, the average lakeshore shall <br /> only apply to the side opposite the street. <br /> Option 3 (Exception with a second line) <br /> (6) Average lakeshore setback. No principal or accessory building shall be located <br /> closer to the lakeshore than the average distance from the shoreline of existing <br /> residence buildings on adjacent lots; except that this does not apply to patios and <br /> other accessory structures less than 42 inches above existing grade, stairways, lifts, <br /> landings, lockboxes, flagpoles and pump houses.
