Policy
|
Natural Areas are landward of the SJRWMD Jurisdictional Wetland Line and areas that remain in the same natural condition they were in prior to construction. The preservation of natural areas with existing native plants is required where existing lot conditions permit. Additional soil or fill in these areas is not permitted. Dead or dying plant material may be removed and understory plants, both native and “Florida-Friendly Landscaping” materials may be planted in these areas. Exposed edges adjacent to sodded areas, adjoining lots, etc., must be mulched to a minimum width of 5 feet with approved mulch types and maintained weed free. Disposal of lawn debris is absolutely not permitted in Natural Areas. |
