LAKE SHORELINES WILL BE PROTECTED FROM ALTERATION. <br />Shoreland areas, whether bluff, beach or floodplain, <br />are sensitive environmental features with significant <br />impact on lake water quality, aesthetic values and <br />land use function. These same 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 utilize excess nutrients. Clear - <br />cutting will be prohibited. In areas of soil or <br />wave action erosion, matbrial stone rip rap <br />shoreline protection will be encouraged. <br />GENERAL LAND USE POLICY N0. 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 Mn 13 - C.M.P. 4-19 <br />13. RETENTION OF NATURAL VEGETATION WILL LIMIT THE IMPACT <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 case they will be <br />screened with natural vegetation. <br />OF URBANIZATION <br />
