RESOLUTION 85-128 (con't) 19. In the event that it is determined that any representative of a plant or animal species designated as endangered or threatened on Federal, State of Florida, or Florida Committee on Rare and Endangered Plants and Animals lists is resident on, or otherwise is significantly dependent upon the Grand Harbor property, the developer shall cease all activities which might negatively affect that individual or population and immediately notify both the Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Proper protection, to the satisfaction of both agencies, shall be provided by the developer. 20. Prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any structure, the developer shall provide and maintain a buffer zone of native upland edge vegetation around the wetland and estuarine/waterway system which is to be preserved or constructed on-site in accordance with the following provisions. The buffer zone may consist of preserved or planted vegetation but shall include canopy, understory and ground cover of native species only. The edge habitat shall begin at the upland limit of any wetland or deepwater habitat and shall include a total area of at least 10 square feet per linear foot of wetland or deepwater habitat perimeter. This upland edge habitat shall be located such that no less than 50 percent of the total shoreline is buffered by a minimum width of 10 feet of upland habitat. This buffer area will constitute credit in fulfilling the 30 percent native landscape requirements as described under WATER SUPPLY. 21. During land clearing operations all Melaleuca, Brazilian pepper and Australian pine which occur on the site of development shall be removed. 22. Unimpounded wetland habitats shall remain intact. These areas shall not be disturbed or modified except as is necessary to allow removal of exotic vegetation to provide for flushing connections or to accommodate approved mosquito control activities. Lagoon shorelines which are disturbed shall be revegetated and stabilized with native shoreline habitat types, prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for any structures related to disturbed shoreline area. 23.
