Fish ponds <br />1.3 Prohibited uses of Environmental Preservation Area Overlay Districts <br />All Uses not specifically permitted are prohibited. <br />1.4 Location of Boundaries of Environmental Preservation Area Overlay <br />Districts <br />As used in this article, the term Environmental Preservation Areas <br />refers in the first instance to certain areas whose boundaries may be <br />determined and can be located on the ground by reference to the <br />specific qualities and/or characteristics set forth in the definitions of <br />these terms. These terms also refer to overlaying or inlaid zoning <br />districts whose boundaries are established on the maps provided to <br />the Town or developed by the Town and for which boundaries are <br />intended to correspond to the actual physical location of <br />Environmental Preservation Areas, or having the potential to be <br />designated for open space, and containing valuable environmental, <br />archeological, biological, geological features, that potentially require <br />limited property usage. <br />Therefore, the administrator is authorized to make necessary <br />interpretations as to the exact location of the boundaries of <br />Environmental Preservation Areas if there appears to be a conflict <br />between a mapped boundary and actual field conditions, or property <br />owners' interpretation of this code. Such interpretations, like other <br />decisions of the administrator, may be appealed to the Board of <br />Adjustment in accordance with the applicable provisions of this <br />Ordinance. <br />C. Steep Terrain, Steep Slope, Slide Area Overlay District (OS-SA) <br />1.
