§ 153.159 CENTRALIZATION AND DESIGN OF FACILITIES.
   Centralization and design of facilities and structures shall be done in accordance with the following standards:
   (A)   Planned unit developments shall be connected to publicly-owned (municipal) water supply and sewer systems.
   (B)   Dwelling units or sites shall be clustered into one or more groups and located on suitable areas of the development. They shall be designed and located to meet or exceed the following dimensional standards for the relevant shoreland classification setback from the ordinary high water level, elevation above the surface water features and maximum height. Setbacks from the ordinary high water level shall be increased in accordance with § 153.156 for developments with density increases.
   (C)   Shore recreation facilities, including but not limited to swimming areas, docks and watercraft mooring areas and launching ramps, shall be centralized and located in suitable areas. Evaluation of suitability shall include consideration of land slope, water depth, vegetation, soils, depth to groundwater and bedrock or relevant factors. The number of spaces provided for continuous beaching, mooring or docking of watercraft shall not exceed one for each allowable dwelling unit or site in the first tier. Launching ramp facilities, including a small dock for loading and unloading equipment, may be provided for use by occupants of dwelling units or sites located in other tiers.
   (D)   Structures, parking areas and other facilities shall be treated to reduce visibility as viewed from public waters and adjacent shorelands by vegetation, topography, increased setbacks, color or other means acceptable to the city, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions. Vegetative and topographic screening shall be preserved, if existing, or may be required to be provided.
   (E)   Accessory structures and facilities, except water oriented accessory structures, shall meet the required principal structure setback and shall be centralized.
   (F)   Water-oriented accessory structures and facilities may be allowed if they meet or exceed design standards contained in § 153.125 and are centralized.
