residences would be considered as residential planned unit developments. To qualify as a residential planned unit development, a development must contain at least five dwelling units or sites. Restaurant (Class I) means traditional restaurant where food is served by a waiter or waitress to a customer and consumed while seated at a counter or table. Food is served on non -disposable containers. Restaurant (Class 11) means fast food restaurants in which a majority of the customers are served food at a counter and take it to a table to eat at or may take food outside to consume in a vehicle or off the premises. Retention basin means a temporary or permanent natural or man made structure, facility or basin that provides a permanent pool of water for storage of stormwater where water is allowed to empty through infiltration or evaporation, including but not limited to wet or NURP ponds. Right-of-way means the area within the limits of a street, alley, pedestrian way, thoroughfare or easement. Roof sign means any sign erected upon the roof of a structure to which it is affixed. Roofline means the top line of the coping; or, when the building has a pitched roof, as the intersection of the outside wall with the roof. Rough grade means the stage at which the grade approximately conforms to the approved plan. Runoff means any liquid that drains over land from any part of a facility. Runoff coefficient means the average annual fraction of total precipitation that is not infiltrated into or otherwise retained by the soil, concrete, asphalt or other surface upon which it falls that will appear at the conveyance as runoff. Screening means a method of reducing the impact of noise and visual intrusions with less offensive or more harmonious elements, such as plants, berms, fences or any appropriate combination thereof. (1) 75-percent screening: Screening would be required on all common lot lines at 100 percent, excluding from along roadway, except on a corner lot, in which case the secondary frontage would still require screening. This means, screening is required on three sides of the vehicle at 100 percent. (2) 50-percent screening: Screening would be required on lot lines adjoining subject property along the length of the vehicle/equipment at 100 percent. This means screening is required on at least two sides of the vehicle at 100 percent. Sediment means the product of an erosion process; solid material both mineral and organic, that is in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved by water, air, or ice, and has come to rest on the earth's surface either above or below water level. Sediment control means the methods employed to prevent sediment from leaving the development site. Sediment control practices include silt fences, sediment traps, earth dikes, drainage swales, check dams, subsurface drains, pipe slope drains, storm drain inlet protection, and temporary or permanent sedimentation basins. Sedimentation means the process or action of depositing sediment caused by erosion. Selective cutting means the removal of single scattered trees. Semi-public use means the use of land by a private, nonprofit organization to provide a public service that is ordinarily open to some persons outside the regular constituency of the organization. Sensitive resource management means the preservation and management of areas unsuitable for development in their natural state due to constraints such as shallow soils over groundwater or bedrock, highly erosive or expansive soils, steep slopes, susceptibility to flooding, or occurrence of flora or fauna in need of special protection.
