- Floodplain Management regulations – The proposed amendments are in accordance with comp. plan but still reviewing specific ordinance wording wording. Initial review provided the following:
- Section 1421.D (p. 14) “two wire fences” only is not adequate for ag properties/use – consider modification
- Section 1430.F – The 100 Ft. landward from top of bank of watercourse setback – Does this act as “riparian buffer”?
- Section 1417.A.3.e – “water-related uses and activities” does this include wells? Or collection of Springwater? Needs clarification
- Section 1417. A.3.f – “Extraction of sand….and other materials” No extraction of water for wholesale or resale purposes. Recommended for addition to this section to be consistent with E-1 zone ordinance regulations.
