Stream Inventory

The streams in western Lenexa were assigned a type designation, based on stream quality assessments conducted by Patti Banks Associates for Lenexa's Stream Inventory. Field data, based on key indicators and environmental criteria, was used in a weighting/scoring system to determine stream type. Stream type and stream order served as the criteria upon which stream setback distances were based. The Western Lenexa Stream Type Map, incorporated in the ordinance as Exhibit A, indicates stream type and order information to be used in the determination of stream setback requirements.
