The land that extends from the OHWM to a minimum of 35 feet inland is designated as a vegetative buffer zone, and the removal of vegetation is prohibited except as follows:
A. 
Routine maintenance of vegetation.
B. 
Removal of trees and shrubs in the vegetative buffer zone to create access and viewing corridors. Per § 59.692(1f)(b), Wis. Stats, the viewing corridor may be at least 35 feet wide for every 100 feet of shoreline frontage. The viewing corridor may run contiguously for the entire maximum width of shoreline frontage owned.
C. 
Removal of trees and shrubs in the vegetative buffer zone on a parcel with 10 or more acres of forested land consistent with "generally accepted forestry management practices" as defined in § NR 1.25(2)(b), Wis. Admin. Code, and described in DNR publication "Wisconsin Forest Management Guidelines" (publication FR-226), provided that vegetation removal be consistent with these practices.
D. 
Removal of vegetation within the vegetative buffer zone to manage exotic and invasive species, damaged vegetation, vegetation that must be removed to control disease, or vegetation creating an imminent safety hazard, provided that any vegetation removed be replaced by replanting in the same area as soon as practicable.
E. 
Additional vegetation management activities in the vegetative buffer zone may be authorized by a land use permit. The permit issued under this subsection shall require that all management activities comply with detailed plans approved by the County and designed to control erosion by limiting sedimentation into the water body, to improve the plant community by replanting in the same area, and to maintain and monitor the newly restored area. The permit also shall require an enforceable restriction to preserve the newly restored area.
