No structures are allowed in the wetland overlay districts, or <br /> wetland buffer area except those allowed as of right or by <br /> conditional use permit by Sections 78-1606 or 78-1607 of this <br /> Ordinance. <br /> c. Activities including, but not limited to, building (other than a <br /> boardwalk or dock), paving, mowing, vegetation removal, filling, <br /> dumping, yard waste disposal or fertilizer application are prohibited, <br /> except that certain such activities may be permitted when approved <br /> by the City as a buffer management plan. Invasive non-native <br /> vegetation, such as European buckthorn and noxious weeds, may be <br /> removed by obtaining a vegetation removal permit from the City. <br /> d. Before grading or construction near a wetland overlay district or <br /> buffer area, the owner or contractor must place erosion control <br /> fencing on the upland side of the perimeter of the wetland overlay <br /> district or wetland buffer area, which ever is more restrictive, or as <br /> required by the City. This fencing must remain in place until all <br /> development activities that may affect the wetland and the wetland <br /> buffer area have been finished and adequate vegetative cover has <br /> been established at which time the fencing must be removed. <br /> Page 11 of 22 <br />
