RESOLUTION 2004- 137 46. The developer shall preserve or create a buffer zone of native upland edge vegetation around all wetlands preserved, restored, or created on site. The buffer zone shall include canopy, understory, and ground cover of native upland species. The upland buffers shall be restored to a natural condition if invaded by exotic vegetation or impacted by agricultural activities. The upland buffers shall be a minimum width of 15 feet and shall average 25 feet around the entire wetland. The buffer shall be shown on all appropriate project site plans and shall be designed to be consistent with the buffer requirements of St. Johns River Water Management District and Indian River County. During construction, the upland buffers adjacent to preserved or created wetlands shall be clearly marked prior to the commencement of construction activities to ensure those areas are protected. These provisions shall be addressed in any land clearing permit(s) issued by Indian River County for the project. The upland buffers shall be maintained according to the details provided in a Preserve Area Management Plan to be approved by Indian River County. Exotic Species 47. Prior to obtaining a certificate of occupancy for any future structure located on any development parcel, the developer shall remove from that parcel all Melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, Old World climbing fern, Australian pine, and any other nuisance and invasive exotic vegetation listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council. Removal shall be in a manner that avoids seed dispersal by any of these species. These provisions shall be addressed in any land clearing permit(s) issued by Indian River County for the project. There shall be no planting of these species on site. Methods for the removal of exotic and nuisance species should be described in the Preserve Area Management Plan. The entire site, including conservation area, shall be maintained free of these species in perpetuity. Stormwater Management 48. The developer shall design and construct a stormwater management system to retain the maximum volumes of water consistent with St. Johns River Water Management District criteria and local code requirements for flood control. Post-development runoff volumes and rates shall not exceed predevelopment runoff volumes and rates consistent with Water Management District and Indian River Farms Water Control District criteria. The system shall be designed and constructed consistent with the criteria and requirements of St. Johns River Water Management District and Indian River County. Required retention volumes may be accommodated in a combination of vegetated swales, dry retention areas, lakes with vegetated littoral zones, or other suitable detention/retention structures. All discharges from the surface water management system shall meet the water quality standards of FAC Rule 17-3. These provisions shall be addressed in project site plans and preliminary PD plans submitted to Indian River County. 49. The developer shall design and construct the surface water management system so that maintenance of normal hydroperiods within preserved wetlands can be guaranteed against the negative impacts of activities within the project boundaries, and so that the functions and values provided by these preserve areas will be maintained. Via the site plan and preliminary PD plan review and permitting process, the developer shall submit a plan establishing wetland control FACommunity Development\Users\CurDev\RESOLUTION\2004 Resolutions\Waterway Village Resoluation 2004-.rtf 12
