This means that the wetland area will be enhanced to <br /> include more surface water and related vegetation. <br /> The determination represents a fair and equitable resolution to a disputed <br /> wetland delineation and results in preservation of a beautiful wetland area <br /> that will be less threatened by the on-going illegal dumping that is taking <br /> place in open spaces and wetland areas of the City. <br /> The attached resolution has been provided for Council consideration. <br /> Approval of the resolution will indicate support for proposed wetland <br /> delineation. <br /> 'Samantha 0 •uno, City A. • ' nistrator <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Motion to waive the reading and approve/disapprove Resolution No. 4591 <br /> Requesting Rice Creek Watershed District Approve the Wetland Delineation <br /> for the Silver Lake Pointe Senior Housing Apartments <br />
