GENERAL LAND USE POLICY NO, 6 - C.M.P. 4-13 <br />6. LAKE SHORELINES HILL BF PROTECTED FROM ALTERATION. <br />8hor«lAnd areas# whether bluff# beach or floodplain# <br />are sensitive environnental features with significant <br />impact on lake water quality# aesthetic values and <br />land use function. These sane factors act to draw <br />development which can be destructive if not properly <br />regulated. Natural vegetation in shoreland areas <br />will be preserved insofar as practical and reason­ <br />able in order to retard surface runoff and soil <br />erosion# and to utilise excess nutrients. Clear- <br />cutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or <br />wave action erosion# material stone rip rap <br />shoreline protection will be encouraged. <br />GENERAL LAND USE POLICY NO. 13 - C.M.P. 4-15 <br />13. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MUST ENHANCE THE ENVIRONMENT. <br />Land development should respect and enhance the <br />unique natural features of the site and the <br />general environmental assets of the community. <br />Preservation of natural views# vegetation# <br />drainage and general respect for unique site <br />features always produces more aesthetic <br />results and lasting value for the property <br />owner and the community than does wholesale <br />alteration of the landscape-or mathematical <br />division to the highest possible density. . <br />URBAN LAND USE POLICY NO. 13 - C.M.P. 4-19 <br />13. RETENTION OF NATURAL VEGETATION WILL LIMIT THE IMPACT OF URBANIIATION <br />AS VISIBLE FROM, THE LAKE.* Building heights will <br />be limited to less than the typical tree height. . . . . <br />Minimum green belts will be provided with pro­ <br />hibitions against clearcutting or excessive <br />thinning of vegetation. Natural vegetation will <br />be preserved on slopes and retaining walls will <br />be discouraged except when absolutely necessary <br />to prevent erosion# in which cane they will be <br />screened with natural vegetation. <br />Page 5 Of 7
