Recreation Lakes District
The intent of this district is to promote responsible development around developing lake areas in Barry County. This district is characterized by developed or developing lakefront properties that are primarily residential in nature. Where public wastewater systems are installed or planned, greater development intensity may be considered. Development should be appropriate for the body of water on which it is located to balance reasonable development intensity with the long-term health of the lake or stream. Where appropriate, additional regulations may be applied to protect native vegetation and wildlife, and minimize human impact.
