§ 153.124 LOTS FOR CONTROLLED ACCESSES.
   Lots used for controlled accesses to public waters or as recreation areas by owners of nonriparian lots within subdivisions shall meet or exceed the following standards:
   (A)   Lots shall meet the minimum frontage width and area requirements for residential lots, and be suitable for the intended uses of controlled access lots.
   (B)   If docking, mooring or over-water storage of more than six watercraft is to be allowed at a controlled access lot, then the width of the lot (keeping the same lot depth) must be increased by 25% in lot frontage for each watercraft beyond six.
   (C)   Lots must be jointly or commonly owned by all purchasers of lots in the subdivision or by all purchasers of nonriparian lots in the subdivision who are provided riparian access rights on the access lot in a manner acceptable to the city and the DNR.
   (D)   Covenants or other equally effective legal instruments shall be developed that specifically state which lot owners have authority to use the access lot and what activities are allowed. The activities may include watercraft launching, loading, storage, beaching, mooring or docking. They shall also include other outdoor recreational activities that do not significantly conflict with general public use of the public water or the enjoyment or normal property rights of adjacent properly owners. Examples of the nonsignificant conflict activities include swimming, sunbathing or picnicking. The covenants shall limit the total number of vehicles allowed to be parked and the total number of watercraft allowed to be continuously moored, docked or stored over water, and shall require centralization of all common facilities and activities in the most suitable locations on the lot to minimize topographic and vegetation alterations. They shall also require all parking areas, storage buildings and other facilities to be screened by vegetation or topography as much as practical from view from the public water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions.
