(A) When an applicant disputes the boundary of the riparian setback or the ordinary high water mark of a stream, the applicant shall submit evidence to the Planning Department and the County SWCD that describes the boundary, presents the applicant’s proposed boundary and presents all justification for the proposed boundary change.
(B) The Planning Department and County SWCD shall evaluate all materials submitted and shall make a written recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 60 days. A copy of this recommendation shall be submitted to the applicant. If during this evaluation, the city or County SWCD requires further information to complete this evaluation, the applicant may be required to provide additional information.
(C) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall decide such boundary disputes. The party contesting the location of the riparian setback or the ordinary high water mark of the streams as determined by these regulations shall have the burden of proof in case of any such appeal.
