Provide a protective, natural greenbelt around wetlands Prohibit deposition of any material - including hazardous chemicals, non-biodegradable aquatic pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers - into, within or upon the wetland or the greenbelt buffer area adjacent to a body or wetland area. Floodplain Management - Floodplains are susceptible to flooding due to relatively topography. Floodplain regulations seek to modify the susceptibility to flood damage and disruption by avoiding dangerous, uneconomic, undesirable, or unwise use of the floodplain. The most widespread floodplain regulations are the minimum requirements of the National Flood Insurance Program, which must be enacted and enforced by communities participating in the program. The minimum regulations vary depending upon the risk of flooding as determined by studies and mapping that has been done in a community. Minimum regulations may include: Permitting for all proposed development Reviewing subdivision proposals to assure that they will minimize flood damage Anchoring and flood proofing structures to be built in known flood prone areas Safeguarding new and sewage systems and utilities from flooding Enforcing risk zone, base flood elevation, and floodway requirements after the flood insurance map for the area becomes effective. Development Staging - The demand for additional developable land and demands for utilities and other public services go hand in hand. Because of this, a major objective of the Comprehensive Plan is to direct development into areas best able to support it and conversely to delineate the areas that are not suited for major development within the planning period. To promote the efficient provisions of public services, maintain rural character and to control sprawl development situations, it is necessary that the highest densities of future development be encouraged to locate within areas (1) already served by utility services, or (2) can be expanded to accommodate, or (3) which are capable of being economically served. To that end, it is important that rezoning and the extension of utility services necessary to support new development be incremental, based on need, and cost feasibility. In consideration of the anticipated practical limits of utility and public services, future highway improvements, existing development patterns, anticipated land needs and the goal to conserve
