Re: Clearing of wetland areas and within required buffer from jurisdictional wetland line, Lot
35 Paradise Preserve subdivision (690 Paradise Lane)
Dear Mr. Dawson:
The City’s Public Works Department has observed that the required buffer from jurisdictional
wetlands adjoining your lot has been disturbed and that clearing within the buffer and possibly
beyond the wetland line has occurred. The Jurisdictional Wetland Line is depicted on your survey,
and no clearing or removal of vegetation within 25-feet of any portion of that line is permitted
following development of the lot. The requirement for this 25-foot undisturbed buffer and
maintenance of the buffer are set forth within the adopted Paradise Preserve PUD and also within
Section Sec. 24-272 of the Land Development Regulations which states: Native vegetation removed
or destroyed within the Upland Buffer is a violation of this Code, and the property owner shall be
responsible for the restoration of the Upland Buffer upon order of the Code Enforcement Board.
(Copies of these provisions are enclosed.) Accordingly, this matter will be forwarded to the Code
Enforcement Division. Any clearing determined to be within jurisdictional wetlands will be referred
to the appropriate State agency for action.
You may call me at 247-5826 to discuss.
Sincerely,
Sonya Doerr, AICP
Planning Director
