(a)

Any agricultural use in the R-O, R-OA, R-1 and R-1A district, nonconforming or otherwise, shall:

(1)

Utilize best management practices whenever possible.

(2)

Maintain a five-foot wide grass strip on-site along all rights-of-way and streams to slow down runoff waters and filter out sediment.

(b)

Any forestal use in the R-O, R-OA, R-1 and R-1A districts, whether nonconforming or otherwise, in order to maintain a rural environment in those areas of the county designated for residential and commercial development, shall not commence commercial timbering of lands zoned R-O, R-OA, R-1 or R-1A until a plan for development (subdivision or site or reforestation plan) has been approved by the planning commission or the zoning administrator, as the case may be. Any plan for reforestation shall require a posting of a bond in an amount sufficient to reforest the area based on current per acre estimate of reforestation by the state department of forestry. No commercial timbering shall be allowed in any development once any lot in the development has been sold.
