The applicants desired to remove some of the <br />sediment that had built up within the designated wetlands to restore the open-water <br />features of the wetland. This had been done once before in 1955 for the same <br />purpose. <br /> <br />The City Engineer has reviewed the applications and was satisfied that the work to be <br />performed is consistent with the City’s wetland zoning requirements as well as the <br />City’s Surface Water Management Plan. <br /> <br />This item was discussed by the City Council on December 4, 2000, at which time staff <br />was directed to draft a resolution of approval and to explore the feasibility of a joint <br />permit approval process with Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Approve Resolution 5488. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />_____________________________________ <br />James Ericson, Community Development Director <br /> <br /> <br />Attachment: <br />1.
