This is a good rule. The issue here is that impervious surfaces close to the lake allow phosphorous and other nutrients to flow into the lake much faster than they would in undeveloped conditions. The phosphorous accelerates plant growth and this accelerates the aging of the late--darker water, more algae, milfoil, cyanobacteria; less enjoyable swimming and fishing.
