Section 106-28. Development requiring site plan or subdivision plat.
The following shall apply to development requiring a site plan or a subdivision plat in or adjacent to wetlands:
(1) wetlands which require a St. Johns River Water Management District permit are exempt from subsections (2), (3), (4) and (5) of this section.
(2) During the review of development plans, the building official, the city engineer or other city agents shall use the national wetlands inventory maps, the county soil survey, aerial photography, applicant-provided information or other applicable data to determine the existence of wetlands on or adjacent to the site.
(3) If these materials indicate that wetlands may exist on or adjacent to the property, a site inspection will be performed by the city engineer or a qualified subcontractor to determine if wetlands are present and, if so, the wetlands boundaries.
(4) Based on this assessment, the city engineer shall make recommendations for development within or adjacent to the wetlands and for required mitigation, if any, consistent with this article.
(5) The building official, city engineer or other city agents shall conduct a site visit with the developer or developer's representative and locate the wetlands boundaries or will provide the developer with a photocopy of an aerial photograph or map of the area with the wetlands boundaries clearly marked, whichever is available. The city will not provide a survey of the wetlands boundaries.
