Development on Substandard Lots Chapter 910: Shoreland Overlay District <br /> <br />Page 910- 15 <br />b. Dwelling units or sites must be clustered into one or more groups and located on <br />suitable areas of the development. They must be designed and located to meet or <br />exceed the following dimensional standards for the relevant shoreland <br />classification: setback from the ordinary high water level, elevation above the <br />surface water features, and maximum height. Setbacks from the ordinary high <br />water level must be increased in accordance with Section 910.030 of this <br />Ordinance for developments with density increases; <br />c. Shore recreation facilities, including but not limited to swimming areas, docks, <br />and watercraft mooring areas and launching ramps, must be centralized and <br />located in areas suitable for them. Evaluation of suitability must include <br />consideration of land slope, water depth, vegetation, soils, depth to groundwater <br />and bedrock, or other relevant factors. The number of spaces provided for <br />continuous beaching, mooring, or docking of watercraft must not exceed one for <br />each allowable dwelling unit or site in the first tier (notwithstanding existing <br />mooring sites in an existing commercially used harbor). Launching ramp <br />facilities, including a small dock for loading and unloading equipment, may be <br />provided for use by occupants of dwelling units or sites located in other tiers; <br />d. Structures, parking areas, and other facilities must be treated to reduce visibility <br />as viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, <br />increased setbacks, color, or other means acceptable to the City of Little Canada, <br />assuming summer, leaf-on conditions. Vegetative and topographic screening <br />must be preserved, if existing, or may be required to be provided; <br />e. Accessory structures and facilities, except water oriented accessory structures, <br />must meet the required principal structure setback and must be centralized; and <br />910.110. DEVELOPMENT ON SUBSTANDARD LOTS <br />A. Purpose: <br /> The purpose of regulating development on substandard lots of record is to coordinate <br />development on substandard lots to insure environmentally sensitive development, insure <br />compatibility with surrounding existing development and to allow for combination of lots to the <br />extent possible. <br />B. Substandard Lots: <br />1. A lot of record existing upon the effective date of this Ordinance in a residential district, <br />located adjacent to a General Development Lake, which does not meet the requirements <br />of this Ordinance as to area or width may be utilized for single family detached dwelling <br />purposes provided that: <br />a. Requires a conditional use permit based upon procedures set forth in and <br />regulated by Section 921 of this Ordinance. <br />b. The lot has been assessed a full sewer and water assessment. <br />c. The lot has been in separate ownership from abutting lands at all times since it <br />became substandard. <br />d. The lot was created compliant with official controls in effect at the time. <br />e. All setback and sewage treatment requirements of the Shoreland District are met. <br />f. A substandard water frontage lot with public sewer shall be a minimum of fifty <br />(50) feet in width measured at the front yard setback line and shall have a
