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 />0 00 <br />000 0 <br />000 <br />000 <br />O 0 O O <br />O O <br />O 0 O <br />00 00 <br />00 00 <br />0 00~ <br />000 <br />goo <br />~ooo~ <br />Required stream buffer area <br />Disturbed Area.- new vegetation is <br />required to be planted under the <br />~~ proposed new ordinance to offset <br />0 the removal of vegetation from the <br />g buffer.. <br />8 Under this proposal, staff also <br />O recommends that documentation be <br />O recorded at the Register of Deeds <br />expanding the recognized stream <br />buffer on the property so that it can <br />~O be protected in perpetuity <br />Develo able area <br />p <br />.Existing vegetation <br />B-20 <br />
