The rules developed through this, process should be guidelines and allow for local decision making. • Limiting heights in potential redevelopment areas may prevent redevelopment. 'Heights' need to be consistent with approved comprehensive plans and zoning ordinances. • Care should be taken such that district boundaries do not extend across or abut prominent transportation corridors. For example, including a boundary that extends onto US 10 as'riverfront' land does not adequately portray or account for what has already happened on that transportation corridor. Vegetative buffering standards for properties should directly correlate to the intended use or scope of development. For example, single family property owners should not be deprived of their use and enjoyment of their riverfront property by being required to adhere to restrictive vegetation management or revegetation standards that would more applicable to areas of concentrated riverfront use. The rules should include a tiered approach for regulation of the shoreland. • The rules must allow for flexibility in using various methods of stormwater management and erosion control (i.e. riprap, storm water structures, etc.). Roadways cut across all districts: There are safety reasons and capacity needs for modifying the roadways. As such, the districts need to accommodate roadway needs. • When county and state road agencies make changes, they are required to go through a comprehensive environmental review process. This process should be sufficient for protecting resources in the MRCCA area.
