All structures shall be set back twenty-five (25) feet from all natural feature areas as defined in Article 2 of this Appendix. For site plan applications that require township board approval, this setback may be reduced by the township board following recommendation of the planning commission. Individual requests for reduction of the setback may only be granted as a variance from the township zoning board of appeals. Both bodies, in approving a reduction in the setback, shall determine that it is clearly in the public interest. In determining whether the setback reduction is in public interest, the benefit which would reasonably be expected to accrue from the proposed development shall be balanced against the reasonably foreseeable detriments to the natural features. Docks, piers, decks, boardwalks, or seawalls may be located within the natural feature setback.
