(a) The applicant shall be responsible for delineating riparian setbacks as required by this regulation and shall identify such setbacks on a site plan included with all subdivision plans, land development plans, and/or zoning permit applications submitted to the Village. The site plan shall be prepared by a professional engineer, surveyor, landscape architect, or such other qualified professional as determined by the Village, and shall be based on a survey of the affected land. Two copies of the site plan shall be submitted. The site plans shall include the following information:
(1) The boundaries of the lot with dimensions.
(2) The locations of all designated watercourses.
(3) The limits, with dimensions, of the riparian setbacks.
(4) The existing topography at intervals of two feet.
(5) The location and dimensions of any proposed structures or uses, including proposed soil disturbance, in relation to all designated watercourses.
(6) North arrow, scale, date, and stamp bearing the name and registration number of the qualified professional who prepared the site plan.
(7) Other such information as may be necessary for the Village to ensure compliance with this regulation.
(b) The Village may, in reviewing the site plan, consult with the Cuyahoga SWCD or other such experts. Any costs associated with this review may be assessed to the applicant.
(c) If soil-disturbing activities will occur within 50 feet of the outer boundary of the applicable riparian setback as specified in this regulation, the riparian setback shall be clearly identified by the applicant on-site with construction fencing as shown on the site plan. Such identification shall be completed prior to the initiation of any soil-disturbing activities and shall be maintained throughout soil-disturbing activities.
(d) No approvals or permits shall be issued by the Village prior to identification of riparian setbacks on the affected land in conformance with this regulation.
