The intent of this district is to provide suitable regulations for residential developments occurring adjacent to lake waterfronts within the Township. The regulations recognize the value and desirability of existing lakefront lots and the desire of owners of existing lots to maintain and make improvements to existing structures. At the same time, these regulations are designed to control new development in an orderly manner which avoids the creation of development at densities which could lead to the unnecessary degradation of the surface water quality and associated natural lake environment. This district is intended to extend four hundred (400) feet from the waters edge in all mapped Lake Residential zoning districts, unless otherwise mapped to an identifiable property line.
