The following provisions apply to any development, construction, or use of land for residential purposes within shoreline jurisdiction:

(1) Developers in the urban, natural and urban conservancy environments shall ensure that utility lines including electricity and communications will be underground, except where the presence of bedrock or other obstructions make undergrounding impractical. Aboveground lines in existence at the time of adoption of the master program shall be undergrounded during normal replacement processes.

(2) Plats of subdivisions containing land adjacent to publicly owned or controlled bodies of water shall allow for pedestrian access to such water bodies for residents of upland lots within the subdivision.

(3) Residential development and preliminary plats shall contain plans indicating how shore vegetation will be preserved and erosion controlled. A vegetation protection and/or erosion control plan judged by the administrator to be insufficient for protection of the shoreline environment shall cause denial of an application.

(4) Subdivisions within the jurisdiction of the master program shall maintain an overall project density of one dwelling unit per one-half acre. Subsequent resubdivision of any portion of the property contained in the original plat in order to increase density above that specified herein is prohibited. (Ord. 2123, § 1 (Att.), 2021.)
