General provisions
387 rules that bind every district rather than one — sign regulations, parking, floodplain and the rest of the code’s citywide chapters.
replacement of existing trees and other vegetation will be achieved at a ratio of two planted trees to one removed. Replacement trees shall be a minimum two and one-half inches caliper measured six inches above the ground at the time of planting.
This submittal is not required for individual one- and two-family homes located on lots one acre or greater in size if the impervious cover is 16 percent or less of the total site area.
A water quality impact assessment must demonstrate through acceptable calculations that the remaining buffer area and necessary best management practices will result in removal of no less than 75 percent of sediments and 40 percent of nutrients from post-development stormwater runoff. Minor assessment pertains to land disturbance no more than 5,000 square feet.
Construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of electric, natural gas, fiber-optic, and telephone transmission lines, railroads, and public roads and their appurtenant structures... will be deemed to constitute compliance with this chapter.
