Shoreland management plan goes inland

From Capital Region Business Journal

HERE

...The proposed standards are based on lot size and buffer zones. For urban water bodies, the plan proposes a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and 100-foot width, with a minimum 37.5-foot vegetative buffer zone and 75-foot building setback. Minimum lot sizes in developing and rural areas are two and four acres, respectively, with correspondingly larger buffer and setback requirements.

Approximately three-quarters of all shoreland properties in the county, particularly in urban areas, cannot satisfy these requirements
