RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR <br />There were no requests or comments from the floor. <br />10. COUNCIL BUSINESS <br />A. Consideration of Resolution 5437, a Resolution Approving a Wetland Buffer <br />Permit to Allow for the Construction of a Twin-home at 7654 Woodlawn <br />Drive. <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this item was discussed at the previous Council Work Session, <br />and is a request for a wetland buffer permit for the property located at 7654 Woodlawn Drive. <br />He indicated that for many years, the property owner has been attempting to sell this lot, which is <br />located near the Sunrise United Methodist Church and adjacent to the Woodlawn Terrace Multi- <br />unit family community, which is comprised of a number of twm homes and afour-plea. <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated this lot has been viewed as somewhat problematic, in that <br />there have been some issues with regard to illegal dumping and lack of maintenance, as well as <br />the presence of some wetland on the site. He explained that this is not an attractive site, and the <br />issues with the wetland make it somewhat undesirable for development. He indicated the <br />property owner recently had the lot delineated, and this delineation was forwarded to the Rice <br />Creek Watershed District, which signed off with a minor revision. He stated the site survey that <br />was prepared with the Watershed District's revised delineation was provided to the Council at <br />their previous meeting. <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated staff requested information from the City Engineer, and <br />received a letter in response which indicates there were some concerns that one corner of the <br />proposed twinhome would be located in close proximity to the wetland as delineated by Rice <br />Creek Watershed District. He explained that in light of this, the City Engineer has offered <br />suggestions pertaining to buffer area and minimum building elevation, and advised that there <br />should be no alteration of the land below the 902 contour of the property. <br />Planning Associate Ericson stated staff has prepared a resolution for Council action at this time, <br />with a number of stipulations. He indicated the resolution would allow for the construction of a <br />twinhome on the lot, as long as certain conditions are met. He explained that the applicant would <br />be required to submit a detailed grading plan, which indicates the elevations and the contours of <br />the lot. He advised that there could be no filling below the 902 elevation of the property, no fill <br />
