.~ tt . Resolution 5853 September 23, 2002 Page 2 NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Mounds View City Council makes the following findings of fact relating to this request: 1. The alteration within the buffer is the minimum necessary to allow for the replacement of the single-family home which was recently demolished to allow for the construction of a new house. 2. The flood storage capacity of the wetland would not be impacted by the reconstruction of a home and garage on this lot. 3. The proposed improvements would not reduce the existing water quality enhancement value ofthe wetland under conditions of ultimate development. 4. It is not anticipated that the improvements would reduce the existing wildlife habitat value of the wetland. 5. Very little vegetation would be disturbed by the construction of the improvements, as a home had been previously located at this same location. 6. The proposed improvements would not adversely affect the water flow characteristics of the wetland. 7. The stom1water runoff from the proposed improvements is anticipated to follow historic pattems, no changes are proposed. 8. While proposed stormwater runoff will exceed previous volumes, the increased volume would not pose an impact to the overall Spring Creek wetland basin. 9. The quality of the stormwater runoff generated by the improvements will remain unchanged from previous runoff. 10. No waste would be discharged into the runoff as a result of the proposed improvements. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Mounds View City Council approves the Wetland Buffer Permit to construct a 2,410 square foot home and 552 square foot garage requested by Lori Frase and Kimberly Olson, contingent upon the following: 1. Only clean fill, free of chemical pollutants and contaminants, shall be brought onto the site. 2. No waste--solid, hazardous or otherwise--shall be allowed to enter directly or indirectly into the wetland. 3. Before a building permit can be issued, the builder/developer shall submit a detailed grading and site plan showing existing and proposed elevations of the site. 4. The minimum floor elevation of the home shall not be less than 889.4 feet. 5. Grading of the site shall not deviate from the approved plan without the express written consent of the Director of Public Works after review by the City Engineer.
