Page 908-1 <br /> <br />E. Signs for Wetland Buffers <br /> All wetland buffers shall be marked by signs placed at the buffer edge. <br />1. Sign Location <br />Buffer signs shall be placed at every other lot corner or as approved by the City Engineer. <br />Proposed buffer sign locations shall be shown on a grading or site plan, which shall be <br />submitted to the City Engineer for approval. <br />2. Sign Design <br />In order to ensure consistency in buffer sign design, the developer or property owner shall <br />order buffer signs from the City of Little Canada. It shall be the responsibility of the <br />developer or property owner to install wetland buffer signs and to pay all costs associated with <br />construction of the signs. <br />3. Buffer Sign Installation <br />Once obtained from the City of Little Canada, wetland buffer signs shall be installed as <br />follows: <br />a. The sign shall be bolted or screwed to a four-inch square treated or cedar post or green <br />steel post installed to a height of four feet above grade and set at least 42 inches into the <br />ground. <br />b. The printed side of the sign shall face the development side of the property. <br />908.090 Setback from Wetland Buffer <br />A. All buildings (principal or accessory) and structures, except as provided elsewhere in this <br />subdivision, must be set back at minimum of 20 feet from the outer wetland buffer line. Exceptions <br />to the setback requirement include play structures, uncovered porches, decks, patio slabs, open <br />terraces, stairways, and walkways, which shall be allowed to extend up to 10 feet into the required <br />buffer. <br />B. Parking areas and driveways must be setback a minimum of 10 feet from the outer wetland buffer <br />line. <br />C. A wetland buffer setback is not required for overhead utility poles and lines that are less than 2 feet <br />in diameter, underground utility lines and distribution equipment, light poles, traffic signals, traffic <br />regulatory signs, wetland buffer signs, mailboxes, and other equipment that provides an essential <br />public service. <br />D. A wetland buffer setback is not required for fences or retaining walls. <br />E. An existing improvement meeting the required setback from a wetland buffer area is considered <br />legal nonconforming if at a later date a new wetland delineation or implemented wetland buffer <br />results in the improvement being closer than the required setback from the new wetland buffer <br />location. <br />908.010 Dedication to City <br />All land areas containing wetlands and the required wetland buffer shall be dedicated as a conservation <br />easement or platted as an outlot and deeded to the City to become part of the stormwater management <br />system.
