Height standards. Table 910-8: Height Standards for All Lake, River, and Property Types Maximum building height Structure height (lowest floor) above highest known water levelLowest Floor Elevation 35 feet Where regulatory flood elevation is not known, 3 feet above OHWL or Highest Known Water Level1, whichever is higheror outside any designated floodplain if defined. Commented [BH14]: The county highway standard of 50’ does not make sense in the Little Canada context - our underlying standard of residential setbacks of 30’ is a better fit. Why would you want to push structures closer to the water? Plenty of existing non-conformities in Little Canada on Edgerton already too I would add. Commented [DS15R14]: This change is fine. DNR’s Model Shoreland Ordinance does not address front, side, or rear yard setbacks. Commented [BH16]: Permitted by DNR as specific deviation for LC in 1997 Formatted: Superscript
