Area Regulations.
(1)
There is no minimum lot size required; however, the site size
shall be sufficient to assure for present facilities and for future
expansion. Development must conform to the following yard requirements:

The site shall be developed in such a way as to preserve its
natural character. A mass planting strip at least six feet in height
shall be located between the marina and adjacent residential areas,
except, that no planting shall be required between marina facilities
and a public road. Yards may be used for parking but no parking shall
be closer than 15 feet to any property line.

width (at normal pool as defined by the Corps of Engineers) the applicant
must own or control the shoreline opposite such development to a minimum
depth of 100 feet from the shoreline. However, the Planning Commission
may waive this requirement if the property opposite the proposed development
site, because of topography and/or existing land use, is not adversely
affected by the proposed development.
