Mounds View City Council February 26, 1990 <br />Regular Meeting Page Two <br />-------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br />. Mayor Hankner explained the City had hired Barr <br />Engineering one year ago to do the wetlands ordinance <br />review, which has been done. At this time the Council <br />is looking for input from the residents. This will be <br />a slow process, and will not be rushed through. <br />Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the wetland <br />ordinance was adopted in 1982, and he reviewed the <br />history of it and the process followed to date. A <br />committee was established and worked for several <br />months on the update. The Planning Commission, Park <br />and Rec Commission .and Environmental Quality Task <br />Force have reviewed the update and recommend approval. <br />An informational meeting was held on December 11, and <br />copies of the proposed changes are available for <br />review. <br /> <br />Copies have been sent to various governmental bodies, <br />of which only the DNR has responded. Clerk/Admini- <br />strator Pauley read the response of the DNR. He <br />also read a petition signed by 43 residents from <br />the White Oak Pond area. <br />Mayor Hankner stated the petition would become part <br />of the public record. <br />• Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, explained he had <br />worked on the original wetlands ordinance. He stated <br />he has concerns about what residents can or cannot <br />do without the boundaries. He read from 48.06 Sub. <br />4(C), which he interpreted as giving the Council <br />latitude. He also questioned several proposed changes <br />in terminology, in 48.01 Sub. 2(A), and sections that <br />are proposed for elimination, and explained the reason <br />they were included in the first place. Mr. McCarty <br />suggested the City takes its time in working on this. <br />He added he would be willing to help, to go through <br />step by step. in a review. <br />Jerry Farman, 7448 Spring Lake Road, stated he has <br />problems with some of the terminology, specifically <br />the words enhancement and management, and he questioned <br />whether they should be included areas smaller than one <br />acre. <br />Savri Ayaz, 7751 Bona Road, stated he had to get a <br />permit to change his patio, and the ordinance does <br />not have to be taken apart for something like that. <br />He added he is also concerned with the use of the <br />words enhancement and management, as he feels they are <br />very subjective. Mr. Ayaz read from sections of the <br />ordinance, pointing out it can be difficult to <br />follow and understand. <br />
