A monument is required at each lot line where it crosses a wetland buffer strip and shall have a maximum spacing of 200 feet along the edge of the wetland buffer strip. Additional posts shall be placed as necessary to accurately define the edge of the wetland buffer strip. If no wetland buffer strip is required, monuments shall be placed at the wetland boundary. The monument shall consist of a post and a wetland buffer strip sign. The post shall be of a material approved by the City Engineer, such as a fiberglass reinforced composite post with a maximum sign size of 12 inches by 12 inches. The sign shall be mounted flush with the top of the post and shall state “Wetland Buffer: No Mowing Allowed”. The post shall be mounted to a height of a minimum of four feet above grade set at least 42 inches in the ground. The bottom of the post must be fitted with an anchor attachment that would expand upon attempted removal. Monuments may be waived in unusual circumstances where the city determines that such signs would not serve a practical purpose.
