<br />(6) Average lakeshore setback. No principal or accessory building shall be located closer to the ordinary
<br />high-water line (OHWL) on a lakeshore lot than the average distance from the shoreline of existing
<br />principal buildings on adjacent lots; this does not apply to patios and other accessory structures less
<br />than 42 inches above existing grade and/or stairways, lifts, landings, lockboxes, flagpoles and pump
<br />houses. Further, the average lakeshore setback shall apply only to classified lakes and shall not apply to
<br />tributaries. The average lakeshore setback line shall be a straight line connecting the most lakeward
<br />protrusions of the principal buildings on the immediately adjacent lakeshore lots.
<br />a. In situations where improvement is proposed on a lot adjacent to a vacant lot or right-of-way,
<br />the average lake shore setback shall be equivalent to the setback of the most lakeward
<br />protrusion of the principal building on the immediately adjacent improved lakeshore lot.
<br />b. In situations where the average lake shore setback line bisects the principal building located on
<br />either adjacent lot, the next most adjacent lake side point of the bisected principal building shall
<br />be used for determining the average lakeshore setback. If the line continues to bisect the
<br />principal building, the next most lakeside point is to be used until the setback line does not bisect
<br />the principal building on an adjacent lot.

<br />permitted:
