§ 152.073 SITE “SUITABLE AREA” EVALUATION.
   Proposed new PUDs or expansions to existing PUDs must be evaluated using the following procedures and standards to determine the suitable area for the dwelling unit/dwelling site density evaluation in § 152.074.
   (A)   The project parcel must be divided into tiers by locating one or more lines approximately parallel to a line that identifies the ordinary high water level at the following intervals, proceeding landward:
 
Shoreland Tier Dimensions
Class of Lake
Unsewered (feet)
Sewered (feet)
General development lakes - first tier
200
200
General development lakes - second and additional tiers
267
200
Natural environment lakes
400
320
 
   (B)   The suitable area within each tier is next calculated by excluding from the tier area all wetlands, bluffs, or land below the ordinary high water level of public waters. This suitable area and the proposed project are then subjected to either the residential or commercial planned unit development density evaluation steps to arrive at an allowable number of dwelling units or sites.
