I 23 ' An exception shall be allowed for golf courses where the line of play cxosses a stream i buffer. Only trees which obstruct the intended line of play may be cut, provided stumps and root mass are not removed and trees which are cut can be removed in a sensitive manner which miri;mi~es additional disturbance to the stream buffer. 3) Ne~v vegetation shall be planted to capture non-source pollutants before they reach the perennial stream, as per applicable Orange County Standards. d) Calculating Width of Stream Suffer 1) How to Calculate Slope a. Draw a line perpendicular to the stream. b. Determine the elevation at the stream itself (1), and at the point 250' from the stream along the perpendiculaz line (2). c. Subtract (1) from (2). d. Divide c. by 250. e. Multiple d. by 100 Hereinafter, the number derived in e. will be referred to as "slope value". 2) Method A -Stream Buffer Based on 51o and Groundcover The width of the buffer shall be fifty (50) feet from each edge of the floodplain,~plus the slope value multiplied by four. 3) Method B -Stream Buffer Based on Slo and Crroundcover STREAM BUFFER WIDTH (IN FEET) BASED ON SLOPE AND GROUNDCOVER' Slope Value Type of Groundeover Grass Woods 2 to 4.9 100 50 5 to 9.9 150 100 10 to 14.9 200 100 15 or greater 250 150 In addition to the bu,~r zone resulting from the calculations below, a stream buffer shall include any portion of a floodplai~as defined in the Orange County Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, by special survey by a registered engineer or surveyor, or by alluvial soils as designated in the Orange County Soils Survey. The required stream 8uf~`er zone shall not be limited to one calculation, but shall be based on calculations made at points where topographical and ground cover conditions change based on an analysis of the site.
