7. VEGETATED WETLAND BUFFER AND UPLAND HABITAT AREA. (a) As a condition of permit issuance under this Rule, a property owner must record a declaration in a form approved by the District establishing vegetated buffer area adjacent to the delineated edge of wetland within the final Wetland Preservation Corridor and other wetland buffer and upland habitat approved as part of a permit under this Rule. The declaration must state that on further subdivision of the property, each subdivided lot of record shall meet the monumentation requirement of paragraph 7(b). On public land or right -of -way, in place of a recorded declaration, the public owner may execute a written maintenance agreement with the District. The agreement will state that if the land containing the buffer or upland habitat area is conveyed to a private party, the seller must record a declaration for maintenance in a form approved by the District. (b) Buffer or upland habitat area is to be indicated by permanent, freestanding markers at the buffer or habitat area upland edge, with a design and text approved by District staff in writing. A marker shall be placed at each lot line, with additional markers at an interval of no more than 200 feet. If a District permit is sought for a subdivision, the monumentation requirement will apply to each lot of record to be created. On public land or right -of -way, the monumentation requirement may be satisfied by the use of markers flush to the ground, breakaway markers of durable material, or a vegetation maintenance plan approved by District staff in writing.
