WALKWAY: A hard surfaced portion of a street, right-of- way, trail or easement intended for pedestrian use.
WATERCOURSE: The course or route followed by waters draining from the land, formed by nature or man and consisting of a bed, banks, sides and associated wetlands and headwaters. A watercourse shall receive surface and subsurface drainage waters and shall flow with some regularity, but not necessarily continuously, naturally and normally, in draining from higher to lower lands. The watercourse shall terminate at the point of discharge into a larger receiving body such as a lake. Watercourses shall include sloughs, streams, creeks and associated wetlands.
WETLAND OR WETLANDS:
A. Areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. Wetlands generally include swamps, marshes, bogs, and similar areas.
B. Wetlands do not include those artificial wetlands intentionally created from nonwetland sites, including, but not limited to, irrigation and drainage ditches, grass lined swales, canals, detention facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, farm ponds, and landscape amenities. However, wetlands include those artificial wetlands intentionally created to mitigate conversion of wetlands.
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITY: Any unstaffed facility for the transmission and/or reception of radio frequency signals through electromagnetic energy, usually consisting of an equipment shelter or cabinet and a support tower or other structure used to attach transmission and reception devices.
