Buffer requirement:

• CLASS VII(100 feet)

Ashley River Road (a railroad viaduct to Muirfield Parkway/MacLaura Hall Avenue intersection)

Ashley River Shoreline Frontage (Church Creek to city limits)

• Buffer Type JRequired for properties which abut Class VII Roads and scenic rivers. Buffer must maintain a minimum depth of one hundred feet and contain specified vegetation selected from Appendix B. At least 50 percent of understory vegetation selected from Appendix B must be evergreen. River frontage buffers may provide a vision corridor or corridors not to exceed thirty three percent of total buffer length. Such corridor or corridors may be absent of vegetation. Remainder of river frontage buffer shall contain required vegetation. Road frontage buffers shall not contain vision corridors. The intent of this buffer type is to preserve the scenic character of property abutting Class VII Roads and rivers by maintaining a dense natural buffer.

Required minimum plantings per one hundred feet:
Existing trees with 6 inches and greater D.B.H. must remain
Existing understory vegetation listed on Table 2 must remain
24 recommended trees
20 understory trees
