\ MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development DATE: March 24, 1983 UBJBCT: WETLAND ALTERATION PERMIT FOR LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 2, PARK VIEW TERRACE, FOR TONY POPPELAARS Mr. Dick Meyers, Don Pauley, and myself met on March 23, 1983 to discuss questions raised at the joint City Council and Planning Commission meeting held March 21, 1983. Mr. Meyers will meet with the Council at 6:30 p.m. on March 28, 1983 to answer any further questions. The following facts were identified by staff which the Council should use in making their decision on the application: 1) Per provisions of 48.05, Subdivision 6, both lots 1 and 2 are non -conforming and will need variances per provisions of Chapter 40 (decision by the Planning Commission) in order to develop. 2) Lot 1 does not contain any "wetland" but is almost entirely covered by the wetland buffer area. To build on Lot 1, a variance to the 100 foot setback provision of 48.05, Subdivi- sion 5, will be necessary together with the alteration permit. 3) Lot 1 has 14,380 square feet and at a density of one unit per 2,500 square feet would allow 5.75 units if parking and open space requirements are met. 4) Lot 2 has 1G,799 square feet of which 9,500 square feet are wetland. Only accessory buildings which do not conflict with purposes of Chapter 48 can be allowed within a wetland per provisions of 48.05, Subdivision 2. 5) If lots 1 and 2 are combined into one parcel of record (which would require a replat), then the density transfer provisions of 48.08, Subdivision l(B) could be utilized. Total developable area is 21,679 square feet which would allow 8.67 units plus transfer of up to 7.6 units from the wetland for at total maxi- mum density 55116.27 units if parking and open space requirements can be met, if any. 6) Precedent, if any, set would only apply to drainage basin of wetland in question. 7) Use of the property in question has been determined by current zoning (R-3), Comprehensive Plan, public improvements of sewer, water and street, special assessments and previously paid property taxes.
