Exceptions: play <br />structures (including sport court type structures), grade-level decks, <br />patio slabs, driveways, sidewalks and parking lots. <br />b.A setback from the buffer area is not required for overiiead utility <br />poles and lines that are less than two feet in diameter, underground <br />utility lines and distribution equipment, light poles, traffic signals, <br />traffic regulatory signs, mailboxes, entrance monuments meeting <br />Section 78-1405(8) and other equipment that provides on essential <br />public service. <br />c.A setback from the buffer area is not required for fences or <br />retaining walls. <br />(3) Noncor^ormities. <br />dfl. <br />f <br />Effect of Wetland Boundary Expansion . An existing structure, <br />driveway or parking area meeting the required setback from a City- <br />designated wetland boundary or buffer area is considered a legal <br />nonconforming development if a later wetland delineation or <br />implementation of a wetland buffer shows that the wetland or its <br />bu^ is closer than the required setback. <br />k <br />KrittiHf Nntt/'onformUies. An existing structure, driveway or <br />parking area that does not meet the required setback from a City- <br />desifnated wetland boundary or buffer area, is considered a legal <br />nonconforming development. <br />Avoiding Future Nonconformities. In order to avoid the creation of <br />future nonconformities, in situations where development, <br />redevelopment or construction activity does not trigger the <br />establishment of a buffer, the following setbacks shall apply: <br />1.All new buildings shall maintain a setback from a <br />delineated wetland boundary equivalent to the width of the <br />buffer area per the chart in Section 78-160S(c) plus the <br />required 20* buffer setback. <br />‘i ■ r ’ <br />• ' I ' ■"•Ji <br />n <br />J <br />\ 1 <br />J
