Mr. Downing is the owner <br /> of Lot 2, Block 1 Downing Addition (please see attached area map for <br /> location of property) . <br /> Chapter 1010. 08 Subdivision 1 c of the Mounds View Municipal Code requires' <br /> the issuance of a Wetland Alteration Permit for " , the construction, <br /> alteration or removal of any structure. . . " in or upon a Wetland Zoning <br /> District. The Wetland Buffer Area is defined as being a part of the <br /> overall Wetland Zoning District. <br /> Following Council review in 1994, the applicant was directed to have at <br /> wetland delineation performed on the property in order to establish exact <br /> limits of the wetland area. In September of this year, Ms. Ruf provided <br /> Staff with a delineation performed by a professional engineer. Ind <br /> addition to the delineation, Ms. Ruf provided Staff with two (2) proposals <br /> for developing the property as single family housing. The first proposal <br /> would allow the applicant to purchase a portion of property immediatel <br /> west of her own which is currently owned by the City via tax forfeiture. <br /> The reason for this proposal is that, although it would allow construction <br /> within the wetland buffer zone, it would do so without disturbing the <br /> existing wetland. The second proposal would involve mitigation of wetland <br /> area in order to facilitate development of the site. Both proposals are <br /> depicted in renderings attached to this memorandum. <br /> Pao Afar ington, Coity Development Coordinator <br /> RECOMMENDATION; <br />
