Before �rading or construction near a wetland overlay district or buffer area, the o�mer or contractor must place erosion control fencing on the upland side of the perimeter of the wetland ovec(ay disti•ict o►•wetland buffer area, which ever is moi•e resti•ictive, or as required by the city. This fencing must remain in place until all development activities that may affect the wetland and the wetland buffer ai•ea have been finished and adequate vegetative cover has been established at which time the fencin� must be removed. e. All structures must have a minimum basement floor elevation not less than one foot above the ]00-year flood elevation. f. All hard-surface runoff must be treated in accordance with the requirements of the city and the appropriate watershed district.
