22 Miss. Code. R. 23-10-103

Current through December 10, 2024
Section 22-23-10-103

Guidelines for Visual Access - Sites in areas of scenic importance or traditionally public viewing points should be avoided by new developments. This is particularly true for large scale developments. The provision of public access to the shore, both physical and visual is encouraged. Easements for public viewing and waterfront access at property sidelines should be considered. Where visual buffer areas are created by design or as a result of building setbacks, public access should be provided to these open lands for passive recreational use and view access. Institutional developments easily lend themselves to this type of access. Highways and other public facilities near the shore should be carefully designed to take advantage of waterfront views. Public access areas should be provided in port areas and small craft harbors, subject to safety and security requirements. Public facilities such as restaurants and fish houses should be provided to allow the public to enjoy the sights and activities of ports and harbors.
