10 Amelia Lake is one of the few unimpaired lakes in the city and efforts to protect and improve the natural resource should be implemented with any development. A 75 ft wide vegetated wetland/shoreline buffer along Wetland A (lake) is provided as a stormwater management best management practice (BMP) to minimize runoff pollutants from entering the lake. The buffer will also help stabilize the shoreline, reduce erosion and support aquatic plants and wildlife. One (1) access opening through the wetland buffer to the lake no greater than twenty (20) ft wide is allowed per lot. No structures, not even water-orientated accessory structures, are allowed in the 75 ft wide wetland/shoreline buffer zone. Shore Impact Zone By definition, the shore impact zone is the land between the OHWL and a line parallel to it at a setback of 50% of the structure. Since the required structure setback is 150 ft, the shore impact zone is 75 ft from the OHWL. No structures, not even water-orientated accessory structures, are allowed in the 75 ft wide wetland/shoreline buffer zone.
