A riparian buffer corridor of a minimum of 100 feet in width
shall be located adjacent to any stream, intermittent stream, closed
depression if prone to wetness, identified sinkholes, and any other
surface water areas, i.e., ponds and wetlands. The riparian buffer
shall be measured starting from the edge of the defined stream bank,
top of sinkhole/depression, and/or edge of pond embankment, wetland
as the case may be. The 100 feet shall then be a distance of area
measured perpendicularly from the edge. Within the buffer area impervious
surfaces are prohibited except for driveway accessways and site stormwater
management areas. The buffer area shall be landscaped with year-round
ground cover at a minimum.
