Vegetative Buffer definition

Vegetative Buffer means an area of natural or established vegetation directly adjacent to surface waters through which stormwater runoff flows in a diffuse manner to protect surface waters from degradation due to development activities. The width of the buffer is measured horizontally from the normal pool elevation of impounded structures, from the bank of each side of streams or rivers, and from the mean high water line of tidal waters, perpendicular to the shoreline.

Examples of Vegetative Buffer in a sentence

A Site Obscuring Vegetative Buffer shall be defined as follows: Existing vegetation augmented with a mix of planted evergreen and deciduous trees, shrubs, and groundcovers, in combination with natural or man‐made topography that screens, conceals, hides, or otherwise makes indistinct, a structure, group of structures or place from all locations on State Highway 169 within three (3) years of development.
The Master Developer shall be deemed to have satisfied the site obscuring requirements of the Open Space Agreement and/or the Easement so long as it provides a Site Obscuring Vegetative Buffer (as defined below) between the burdened property and State Highway 169.
Thus, to the extent the Master Developer provides a Site Obscuring Vegetative Buffer between State Highway 169 and Development Parcels L29 and L30, and the Site Obscuring Vegetative Buffer meets the performance criteria proposed above, then the Master Developer will be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Open Space Agreement and/or the Easement.
The width of the Site Obscuring Vegetative Buffer shall be as necessary to meet the intent of the buffer.
This concern resulted in Part 8: Lakeshore Vegetative Buffer of the development agreement.

Vegetative Buffer or “buffer” means an area extending landward from the ordinary high water mark of a lake or stream and/or from the edge of a wetland which is maintained or otherwise allowed to provide support for the performance of the basic functional properties of a fish and wildlife habitat conservation area and wetlands as set forth in YMC 15.27.504 and 15.27.603.

Vegetative Buffer means an area of natural or established vegetation directly adjacent

Vegetative Buffer or “buffer” means an area extending landward from the ordinary high water mark of a lake or stream and/or from the edge of a wetland which is maintained or otherwise allowed to provide, under optimal conditions, adequate soil conditions and native vegetation for the performance of the basic functional properties of a fish and wildlife conservation areastream corridor, wetland and other hydrologically related critical areas as set forth in YMC 17.09.030(E) (Functional Properties) and YMC 17.09.040(D) (Wetland Functions and Rating). It is understood that optimal conditions do not always exist due to degradation of the vegetative buffer before establishment of this title, or due to colonization by nonnative species. Such conditions still provide functional properties, though at a lower level, depending on the difference from natural conditions.

Vegetative Buffer means an area consisting of trees, shrubs, ground cover or other form of vegetation located within 15 metres (49.2 ft.) from the high water mark of a waterbody, but which does not include land located within an access corridor or shoreline activity area.
