Clear Channel Report <br />October 22, 2001 <br />Page 5 <br /> <br /> <br />(5) A building's minimum elevation permitted in a wetland zoning district shall be as <br />defined in the Local Water Management Plan. <br /> <br />This requirement does not apply. <br /> <br />(6) No alteration shall be allowed which will endanger the health, safety or welfare of <br />persons or which may result in unusual road maintenance costs or utility line breakages <br />due to soil limitations, including high frost action. <br /> <br />The alteration will not result in any of the described negative consequences. <br /> <br />c. Scheduling of Work: Work in the wetland will not be performed during the breeding season of <br />water fowl or fish spawning season. <br /> <br />The re is no open water and thus no waterfowl or fish in the alteration area. <br />This requirement does not apply. <br /> <br />d. Size of Area: The size of the altered area shall be limited to the minimum required for the <br />proposed action. <br /> <br />The alteration area will be limited to the easement area, although landscaping <br />improvements will be made outside of the easement area that will not alter the <br />land. <br /> <br /> <br />Standards for Denial of Permits: No wetland alteration or wetland buffer permit may be <br />granted which would allow any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which the <br />property is located or which will: <br /> <br />a. Result in incompatible land uses or which would be detrimental to surface and ground water <br />resources. <br /> <br />The billboard is an existing use which will not in its expanded state cause any harm <br />to the surface or groundwater resources. <br /> <br />b. Increase the financial burdens imposed on the community through increasing floods and <br />overflow of water onto land areas within this City or onto land areas adjacent to Rice Creek. <br /> <br />The billboard is situated upon an eight-acre parcel which has been preserved <br />for passive recreation and open space uses. A bituminous trailway and regional <br />stormwater pond were recently constructed on the south end of the parcel with <br />the remainder being wetland and prairie uplands. No financial burdens will be <br />imposed upon the community as a result of the expansion. <br /> <br />c. Be not in keeping with land use plans and planning objectives for the City or which will <br />increase or cause danger to life or property.
