Public access paths along shorelines and recreation areas

Where a subdivision fronts along the shoreline or other public use or recreational areas, rights-of-way to these areas shall be created at intervals of not greater than fifteen hundred feet, except as provided below. The rights-of-way shall be dedicated for public use and shall have a minimum width of fifteen feet. The location of such rights-of-way shall be as agreed to by the subdivider and the director. The director may require that rights-of-way be consolidated to provide sufficient area for vehicular access, parking, development of shoreline or other recreational facilities, or other public purposes; or may modify the standard rights-of-way to take into consideration terrain features, length of frontage, uses of the parcel to be subdivided and other pertinent factors; provided, however, that the total area to be dedicated shall not differ substantially from that which would be required by the provision of standard rights-of-way, unless additional areas and improvements are mutually agreed to by the subdivider and director.
