Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) $TIMMARY; Based on discussions held at the November 6, 1995 City Council Work Session, Staff has drafted the attached resolution for consideration by the Council. For review: In the fall of 1994, Sherri Ruf, representing Louis Downing made application for a Wetland Alteration Permit to allow the construction of a single family home in the Wetland Buffer Area. Mr. Downing was the owner of Lot 2, Block 1 Downing Addition (please see attached area map for location of property) . Chapter 1010. 08 Subdivision 1 c of the Mounds View Municipal Code requires the issuance of a Wetland Alteration Permit for ". . . the construction, alteration or removal of any structure. . . " in or upon a Wetland Zoning District. The Wetland Buffer Area is defined as being a part of the overall Wetland Zoning District. Following Council review in 1994, the applicant was directed to have a wetland delineation performed on the property in order to establish exact limits of the wetland area. In September of this year, Ms. Ruf provided Staff with a delineation performed by a professional engineer. In addition to the delineation, Ms. Ruf provided Staff with two (2) proposals for developing the property as single family housing. The first proposal would allow the applicant to purchase a portion of property immediately west of ' her own which is currently owned by the City via tax forfeiture. The reason for this proposal is that, although it would allow construction within the wetland buffer zone, it would do so without disturbing the existing wetland. The second proposal would involve mitigation of wetland area in order to facilitate development of the site. Both proposals are depicted in renderings attache to this memorandum. Pau`i Harrington, ,Interim City Administrator RZECOMMENDATION; Adopt Resolution No. 4852 approving a Wetland Alteration Permit for Sherri Ruf, representing Lewis Downing.
