Mounds View City Council Page Five <br /> 1111 Regular Meeting July 11, 1994 <br /> Mayor Linke stated that if the developer passed our wetland <br /> ordinance, they would pass Rice Creek Watershed's. Linke stated <br /> that the City's is stricter. Mounds View's Wetland Ordinance is the <br /> strictest in the metro area and Linke stated that he believed, in <br /> the state. <br /> Councilmember Trude stated that if the City were to deny a permit, <br /> then there could be a lawsuit. <br /> Mayor Linke stated that the City has denied permits and that the <br /> developer then reconfigured the work and it met the code. <br /> Councilmember Trude asked what the driving force was behind the <br /> City rushing into the permitting. <br /> Mayor Linke indicated that this permitting policy has been talked <br /> about for the past three years. <br /> Councilmember Trude stated that the last work session was the first <br /> time that she had heard about it. <br /> Councilmember Wuori explained that the recommendation by staff is to <br /> 1111 approve a contract with SEH to proceed with developing a permitting <br /> policy.
