1. Promote Recreation and Public Access. Developments and uses should be designed and operated to provide the public with recreational areas, facilities, and access to the shorelines.

2. Pedestrian-Oriented. Direct access to the water should be via paths, walkways, or other pedestrian-oriented features. Parking should be located upland from the shoreline recognizing the limited supply of shoreline areas.

3. Prevent Impacts to Private Property. The location, design, construction and operation of recreational facilities should prevent undue adverse impacts on adjacent or nearby private properties.

4. Scenic Views and Vistas. Preserve views for the public when siting park and recreation facilities.

1. Design. Recreational uses and facilities shall be limited to water dependent and water enjoyment uses. New non-water-oriented recreational development is prohibited.

2. Accessory Uses. Accessory and support facilities such as maintenance facilities and parking lots shall be consolidated and located in upland areas outside shoreline, wetland and riparian buffers.

3. Fertilizer and Chemical Management. For recreation developments such as playfields that require the use of fertilizers, pesticides, or other chemicals, the applicant shall submit plans demonstrating the best management practices and methods to be used to prevent these fertilizer and chemical applications and resultant leachate from entering adjacent waterbodies. Nonchemical management methods are preferred over chemical management where feasible and practical.

4. Compatibility with Adjacent Private Properties. Recreational facilities shall make adequate provisions, such as screening, buffer strips, fences, and signs, to prevent overflow onto adjacent private properties.

5. Adequate Utilities and Services. Proposals for recreational development shall include facilities for water supply, wastewater, storm water, and garbage disposal in conformance with town standards. [Ord. 580 Att. A § 5.7, 2019.]
