Shore frontage (the width of the lot at the waterfront) and overall lot sizes standards vary, depending on the type of use and type of water body. Generally, the following minimum standards apply:
| LOT TYPE
Residential Lot Size Residential Lot Frontage Commercial Lot Size Commercial Lot Frontage |
|
TIDAL WATERS
30,000 sqft 150 ft shore frontage 40,000 sqft 200 ft shore frontage |
|
INLAND WATERS
40,000 sqft 200 ft shore frontage 60,000 sqft 300 ft shore frontage |
The minimum lot width within 100 feet of the shoreline can be no less than the shore frontage standard.
Note: Land below normal high-water and roads cannot be included in the lot area. The frontage and lot size requirement applies to each principal structure or dwelling unit.
A non-conforming lot that predates the local ordinance may be built upon either with or without a variance, depending on the situation, See the local Code Enforcement Officer.
