Buffers consist of two major <br /> components: The first component(17.5 feet deep) is a no-touch, natural vegetation zone and the second <br /> component is a minimum maintenance zone (17.5 feet to your structure). A single viewing/access corridor up <br /> to 35 feet wide for every full 100 feet of frontage, may cross both zones perpendicular to the shore. Vegetation <br /> removal, cutting,trimming and land disturbing activities are prohibited in the no-touch zone. Limited <br /> pruning and mowing are allowed in the viewinglaccess corridor and the minimum maintenance zone. <br /> Walkways, pathways and stairs must be located in the viewinglaccess corridor; and piers, wharfs and lifts must <br /> be placed in the water immediately in front of the corridor. <br /> The no-touch zone must be established and maintained from the ordinary high water mark and extend inland <br /> 17.5 feet. The remaining buffer area, extending back to your structure and the 35 foot viewing/access corridor <br /> must have adequate vegetative cover such as lawn grass. <br /> No Touch,Natural Vegetation Zone <br /> Plant 16 native shrubs and 11 trees. Instructions for planting are found in the landowner guide. Plan to <br /> water regularly the first year to ensure plant survival. Allow existing vegetation to grow with no mowing <br /> or trimming. <br /> The landowner guide includes appropriate plant lists and a list of businesses that provide native plants. These <br /> plants are suited to the conditions of the property and will provide food and habitat for birds and animals around <br /> the lake. Non-native vegetation planted in this zone as part of the restoration will be required to be <br /> removed and replaced with native vegetation. <br /> Plantings <br /> Plant at least 16 shrubs scattered throughout the two planting areas indicated on your site diagram. Species <br /> recommendations are as follows: <br /> Shrubs: Gray Dogwood Cornus racemosa 4 <br /> Snowberry Symphoricarpus albus 4 <br /> Juneberry Amelanchier laevis 4 <br /> Pin Cherry Prunus pensylvanica 4 <br /> Plant at least 11 trees scattered throughout the two planting areas indicated on your site diagram and located at <br /> least 10 feet away from the existing trees.
