Oakwood Vacation Request <br /> Lots 17 & 18, Edgewood Square <br /> August 4, 1999 <br /> • Page 3 <br /> intended to be vacated did not serve a hydrological purpose and that an easement vacation would <br /> be in the best interest of the City, a wetland alteration permit would be required for any <br /> development to occur on the sites. According to Chapter 1010 of the Municipal Code relating to <br /> the Wetland Zoning District, any work occurring within a wetland or the 100-foot buffer <br /> surrounding a wetland, a wetland alteration or wetland buffer permit is required. The scope of the <br /> proposed work as presented involves the filling and excavation of a previously identified wetland <br /> area. In order for the City Council to approve a wetland alteration permit request, the proposed <br /> development shall comply with the requirements as specified in Section 1010.08, Subd. 4. It <br /> appears that these requirements can be met in the event the City does approve of the easement <br /> vacation. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> Staff is seeking the Commission's input with regard to this request. Specifically, (1) do these lots <br /> continue to serve a hydrological purpose within the City's water management system, and, if not, <br /> would a partial easement vacation be in the best interest of the public; or should the City continue <br /> to protect and preserve the open space? Staff will draft a resolution indicating the Commission's <br /> position and have this ready for action at your meeting on August 18. <br /> • <br /> James Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COMDEV\DEVCASES\565-99\VALUE-PC.RPT <br /> • <br />
