Where the Wetlands Conservation District is superimposed over another
zoning district, the more restrictive regulations shall apply.
Permitted uses are those which will not require the erection or construction of any structures or buildings, will not alter the natural surface configuration by the addition of fill or by dredging and uses that otherwise are permitted by Chapter
305, Zoning. Such uses may include the following:
A. Forestry-tree farming, using best management practices
in order to protect streams from damage and to prevent sedimentation.
B. Cultivation and harvesting of crops according to recognized
soil conservation practices, including the protection of wetlands from pollution
caused by fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides used in such cultivation.
D. Parks and recreation uses consistent with the purpose
and intent of this chapter.
E. Conservation areas and natural trails.
F. Open spaces as permitted or required by Chapter
403, Subdivision of Land, or Chapter
305, Zoning.
Special exceptions may be granted by the Board of Adjustment, after
proper public notice and public hearing, for undertaking the following uses
in the Wetlands Conservation District when the application has been referred
to the Planning Board, the Conservation Commission and to the Health Officer
for review and comment at least 20 days prior to the hearing:
A. Streets, roads and other accessways and utility right-of-way
easements, including power lines and pipelines if so located and constructed
as to minimize any detrimental impact of such uses upon the wetland.
C. The undertaking of a use not otherwise permitted in the Wetlands Conservation District, if it can be shown that such proposed use is not in conflict with any and all of the purposes and intentions listed in §
300-1 of this chapter.
Where any provision of this chapter is in conflict with state law or
other local ordinance, the more stringent provision shall apply.
