Title

Amending Subsections within 28.138 of the Madison General Ordinances related to Lakefront Development to update the lakefront setback requirements.

Body

DRAFTER’S ANALYSIS:    This proposed change amends the setback requirements in MGO Sec. 28.138(4)(a) “Lakefront Development.” This code change adds a 75’ minimum lakefront setback in cases where there is no other principal structure within 300’. It also removes using lot depth to determine the minimum required lakefront setback, which has impacted deep lots. The purpose of lakefront setbacks is to have consistent setbacks along the yard that abuts the lake, which is maintained in this code change.
