For lakes, ponds, or flowages, no structure, except boat houses, piers, and docks, shall be placed at an elevation that the lowest floor, including the basement floor, is less than three feet above the highest known water level. In those instances where sufficient data on known high water levels are not available, the elevation of the line of permanent shoreland vegetation shall be used as the estimated high water elevation. When fill is required to meet this elevation, the fill shall be allowed to stabilize, and construction shall not begin until the property has been inspected by the Zoning Administrator. Cut slopes shall be a maximum of 1:1, or 100%; fill slope 3:1 or 30%; and construction slope 5:1, or 20%.
