Orange County enforces a stream buffer along <br /> streams and water features in the County per the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (see <br /> Section 6.13 Stream Buffers). <br /> According to current Orange County GIS imagery of the parcel, there is (1) previously mapped water <br /> feature, which was evaluated. Feature A noted on the attached aerial photo was found subject and is <br /> unchanged on the Orange County GIS. The feature does require a buffer according to buffer <br /> regulations and does require an undisturbed buffer along both sides, as calculated per the referenced <br /> Ordinance regulations. Undisturbed buffer areas, shall be measured from the top of the stream bank, <br /> outer edge of wet, marshy areas, or outer edge of the floodplain where applicable. In the instance <br /> where a water feature has braided stream segments with channels running parallel to one another, <br /> the buffer shall be measured from the outermost bank on either side. See below for examples of how <br /> the buffer is to be measured in varying situations: <br /> Orange County Government I www.orangecountync.gov 1 919-732.8181 <br />
