RE: cumulative effects and PC materials
Hi Bill,
Sorry for the delay in my response - things are moving fast & furious here. Based on what you describe, the road
wouldn't be cause to not meet the provision as written but there may be other factors to consider such as applying the
Common Line Setback (PDSMP Page 16-18), Buffer Reduction/Averaging (PDSMP Page 6-5), Critical Areas Stewardship
Plan (PDSMP Page 6-6), applying setbacks identified by a subdivision plat, and/or the Shoreline Variance (PDSMP Page 9-
7).
This proposed code revision is written with much more flexibility than the existing code with the intent of
accommodating unique situations and still meeting the goals of shoreline protection, water-oriented development and
public access.
Hope this helps,
Michelle

Michelle
Thanks for the info. In our case, our home sits about 30' from the OHWM and our property is about 500' deep, bisected by
Old Gardiner Road. If more than 75% destruction it appears that we would be forced to rebuild on the other side of Old
Gardiner, which is the only way we could meet the 160' setback. Am I correct?
Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,

That rumor seems to have a lot of energy behind it, has generated a lot of angst among property owners... and is
false. Please see Section 6 Non-conforming Development of Article 10 that reads:
4. If a non-conforming development is damaged to an extent
JiiiiJl~I~~ll~r~~Ilt(7$%) oftller~pl~~~l!))),~~t~~$;t of the original development, it may
be reconstructed to those configurations existing immediately prior to the time the
development was damaged, provided that the applicant makes a good faith effort to
apply for the permits necessary to restore the development within six (6) months of the
date the damage occurred, and complete the restoration within two (2) years of permit
Issuance.
B. If a non-c~gf?~~J1P~e~eloPrnent is damaged by fire, explosion, flood, or other casualty to
an extent ~~~i~gsev~nty-:ti)'e percent (75%) of the tepla,ce11lent c~st of the original
development, it must be reconstructed in a location and manner that complies with the
Program. A single family residential development shall be able to redevelop in kind if
there is no ability to redevelop in a manner that conforms to the Program. [emphasis
added]
Any legally existing home or other type of structure located closer than the proposed buffer (100' on lakes, 150'
on rivers & marine shorelines) would be considered 'non-conforming' if the PDSMP was adopted as proposed.
As you can see above, there is a special consideration for single family residential that is not afforded to
commercial, industrial and other types of development.
We are working to develop more informational materials, but with over 400 public comments it will take some
time to prepare a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document.
Hope this helps dispel the myth -let me know if you have more questions,
Michelle

Michelle:
Thank you for continuing to keep us in the loop. The one thing I cannot find is, I am told, a provision that if your
residence is currently closer to marine than 160' and your home burns down that you cannot rebuild. Can you
help me find something about this? Thanks for your help.
