Kill <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENTS — STREAM BUFFERS: <br />Mitigation /repair of stream buffers (parallel disturbance): <br />• Proposed amendments would establish basic minimum requirements <br />outlining how disturbance is to be accomplished to ensure the <br />protection of the buffer area, <br />• Proposed amendments establish specific mitigation requirements for <br />stabilization of disturbed area, <br />• Proposal expands on the number of uses allowed within a stream <br />buffer to be consistent with DWQ . requirements. The proposal <br />establishes a table of uses, some of which will require mandatory <br />replanting of new vegetation to re- establish the required buffer, <br />A graphic example of the proposed solution is as follows: <br />• • • Required stream buffer area <br />•0• • <br />••• <br />• • • Disturbed Area — new vegetation is <br />Water required to be planted under the <br />Body • • • proposed new ordinance to offset <br />• • • the removal of vegetation from the <br />• � buffer. <br />• • • = Under this proposal, staff also <br />• recommends that documentation be <br />• • • recorded at the Register of Deeds <br />• expanding the recognized stream <br />000 buffer on the property so that it can <br />be protected in perpetuity <br />000 � Developable area <br />• • Existing vegetation <br />.
