4.8.   Conservation Buffer Areas (CBA).
   A.   Purpose and intent. The Conservation Areas are designated for the following purposes:
      1.   Soil and pollutants carried overland, primarily from roads, and , can be effectively trapped by leaving a relatively undisturbed strip of vegetation parallel and adjacent to the watercourse.
      2.   Properly managed overland water flow can be directed into this area in a manner that will reduce velocity and cause dispersion of the water.
      3.   Sediments and associated pollutants carried by the water will settle out as a result of this slowing and dispersion process.
      4.   These are highly desirable effects of and protection in that non-point pollution, erosion and sedimentation, and the resulting property damage and devaluation, are so reduced.
   B.   Areas designated. The Conservation Areas located within the Town of Garner are not expressly mapped on the official zoning map. Each area can be determined by reviewing the text of Article 7. These provisions do not create a new zoning district; rather, they overlay whatever zoning is in place.
