The Riparian Corridor Overlay (RCO) District shall consist of areas fifty (50) feet from and parallel to the ordinary high water mark along banks of the watercourse away from the stream landward to a line parallel to the ordinary high water mark.
The "ordinary high water mark" is defined as the line between upland and bottomland which persists through successive changes in water level, below which the presence and action of the water is so common or recurrent that the character of the land is marked distinctly from the upland, and is apparent in the soil itself and/or the configuration of the surface of the soil and vegetation.
