B, MAPLEWOOD, MN 55109 <br />Phone: 651 - 704 -2089 <br />Fax: 651.704.2092 <br />Facsimile <br />TO: Joel Hanson Fax #: 484 -4538 <br />FROM: Cliff Aichinger <br />SUBJECT: Kerr Property Wetland Action. <br />DATE: Sept. 14, 2000 <br />TIME: 12:15 PM <br />PAGES: 4 (including this cover page) <br />X FAX ONLY <br />NOTE: <br />Joel- <br />Attached is a copy of the Wetland Conservation Act Certificate of Exemption granted to <br />the Kerr's for Iess than 2000 sq. ft. of wetland fill (deminimus exemption). Also attached <br />is a copy of the letter received describing the impact and the proposed mitigation <br />(replacement) of the wetland. <br />For clarification, it is the District's policy not to grant the deminimus exemption unless <br />the applicant can meet the sequencing requirements of WCA. This primarily requires <br />that a hardship must be demonstrated. In this case, the construction of the home on this <br />lot could not be accomplished without some minor impact to the wetland on this site. <br />As it pertains to the Scully property, we are not allowing wholesale wetland filL This fill <br />is only allowed for fill under 2000 sq. ft. and only under a hardship condition. Any other <br />wetland impacts must comply with the sequencing requirements of WCA (avoid, <br />minimize and replace). Typically fill is only allowed for site access situations and must <br />be replaced at a 2:1 ratio within the watershed. <br />Cliff <br />Page 56 <br />
