Surface water-oriented commercial uses and industrial, public, or semipublic uses with 5 similar needs to have access to and use of public waters may be located on parcels or lots 6 with frontage on public waters. Those uses with water-oriented needs must meet the 7 following standards: 8 (i) In addition to meeting impervious coverage limits, setbacks, and other zoning 9 standards in this subdivision, the uses must be designed to incorporate topographic 10 and vegetative screening of parking areas and structures; 11 (ii) Uses that require short-term watercraft mooring for patrons must centralize these 12 facilities and design them to avoid obstructions of navigation and to be the minimum 13 size necessary to meet the need; and 14 (iii) Uses that depend on patrons arriving by watercraft may use signs and lighting to 15 convey needed information to the public, subject to the following general standards: 16 A. No advertising signs or supporting facilities for signs may be placed in or upon 17 public waters.Signs conveying information or safety messages may be placed in 18 or on public waters by a public authority or under a permit issued by the county 19 sheriff; 20 B.

The signs must not contain other 24 detailed information such as product brands and prices, must not be located 25 higher than ten feet above the ground, and must not exceed 32 square feet in 26 size. If illuminated by artificial lights, the lights must be shielded or directed to 27 prevent illumination out across public waters; and 28 C. Other outside lighting may be located within the shore impact zone or over 29 public waters if it is used primarily to illuminate potential safety hazards and is 30 shielded or otherwise directed to prevent direct illumination out across public 31 waters.This does not preclude use of navigational lights. 32 2. Uses without water-oriented needs must be located on lots or parcels without public 33 waters frontage, or, if located on lots or parcels with public waters frontage, must either 34 be set back double the normal ordinary high water level setback or be substantially 35 screened from view from the water by vegetation or topography,assuming summer, leaf- 36 on conditions. 37 b.

The shore impact 44 zone for parcels with permitted agricultural land uses is equal to a line parallel to and 50 45 feet from the ordinary high water level. 46 2. Animal feedlots must meet the following standards: 47 (i) New feedlots must not be located in the shoreland of watercourses or in bluff impact 48 zones and must meet a minimum setback of 300 feet from the ordinary high water 49 level of all public waters basins; and Page 130 of 147
