(A) (1) A minimum 30-foot vegetative buffer for development activities is required along all perennial waters indicated on the most recent versions of U.S.G.S. 1:24,000 (7.5 minute) scale topographic maps or as determined by local government studies.
(2) Desirable artificial stream bank or shoreline stabilization is permitted.
(B) (1) No new development is allowed in the buffer except for water dependent structures, other structures such as flagpoles, signs and security lights which result in only diminutive increased in impervious area, and public works projects such as road crossings and greenways, where no practical alternatives exist.
(2) These activities should minimize built-upon surface area, direct runoff away from the surface waters and maximize the utilization of stormwater best management practices.
(Am. Ord. passed 9-2-1997)
(C) All required buffer areas shall be shown as a permanent restriction or easement on the deeds, titles, subdivision plats, development plans and individual plot plans where the buffer area lies within the boundary described or shown.
