* The minimum lot area shall not include any portion within a right-of-way or public road easement or bottomland (as defined in Michigan Public Act 451 of 1994) for any lot created after the effective date of this definition.

** A twenty-five (25) foot natural feature setback shall be maintained in all districts in relation to the ordinary high-water mark of any lake, pond, river or channel, and to the edge of any drainageway or wetland. This setback may be reduced with planning commission approval upon a determination that is clearly in the public interest. In determining whether the setback reduction is in the public interest, the benefit that would reasonably be expected to accrue from the proposed development shall be balanced against the reasonably foreseeable detriments to the natural feature. Docks, piers, decks, boardwalks or seawalls may be located within the natural feature setback.
