(These communities <br />oorrespond roughly to wetland types 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and <br />8 described by the United States Fish and Wildlife <br />Service, Circular 39, "Wetlands of the U.S., 1956"). <br /> <br />b) Mineral soils with gley horizons or organic soils <br /> belonging to the Histosol order (peat and much). <br /> <br />c) Soil which is water logged or covered with water at <br /> least three (3) months of the year. <br /> <br />~a~ps, bogs, marches, potholes, wet meadows and sloughs are <br />wetlands, and property may be shallow waterbodies, the <br />waters of which are stagnant or actuated by very feeble <br />currents and may at times by sufficiently dry to permit <br />tillage but would require drainage to be made arable. The <br />edge of a wetland is commonly that point where the natural <br />vegetation changes from pruatic to predominantly <br />terrestrial. <br /> <br />YARD: An open space on the lot which is unoccupied and <br />unobstructed from its lowest level to the sky.
