A. Appendix A (Shoreline Buffer and Environment Designations Maps) includes the official shoreline maps, which illustrate the different buffers associated with South Prairie Creek; and the shoreline environment designations in the town of South Prairie, respectively.

B. Any areas within shoreline jurisdiction that are not mapped and/or designated due to minor mapping inaccuracies in the lateral extent of shoreline jurisdiction from the shoreline waterbody related to site-specific surveys of ordinary high-water mark, floodway, and/or floodplain are automatically assigned the category of the contiguous waterward shoreline environment designation. Where the mapping inaccuracy results in inclusion of an unmapped associated wetland (not already included as part of another environment designation), that wetland shall be assigned an aquatic environment designation.

C. All other areas of shoreline jurisdiction that were neither mapped as jurisdiction nor assigned an environment designation shall be assigned a shoreline residential designation with a 100-foot buffer until the shoreline can be redesignated through an SMP amendment.

D. In addition, any property shown in shoreline jurisdiction that does not meet the criteria for shoreline jurisdiction (e.g., is more than 200 feet from the OHWM or floodway, is no longer in floodplain jurisdiction as documented by a letter of map revision from FEMA and does not contain associated wetlands) shall not be subject to the requirements of this SMP. Note that the actual location of the OHWM, floodplain, floodway, and wetland boundaries must be determined at the time a development is proposed. Floodplain and floodway boundaries should be assessed using the most recently revised FEMA maps. [Res. 2023-04 § 1 (Att. B), 2023; Ord. 580 Att. A § 3.2.4, 2019.]
