Low maintenance zones.
Miami City Code § 22.5-135
in effectSec. 22.5-135. - Low maintenance zones.
A voluntary ten-foot low maintenance zone is strongly recommended, but not mandated, from any pond, stream, water course, lake, wetland, Biscayne Bay or from the top of a seawall. A swale/berm system is recommended for installation at the landward edge of this low maintenance zone to capture and filter runoff. If more stringent County Code regulations apply, this provision does not relieve the requirement to adhere to the more stringent regulations. No mowed or cut vegetative material should be deposited or left remaining in the low maintenance zone or deposited in the water. Care should be taken to prevent the over-spray of aquatic weed products in the low maintenance zone. Care must be taken to ensure erosion of the surface soil does not occur. Excessive erosion may result in additional pollution hazard.
