RESOLUTION NO. 2327 PAGE TWO WHEREAS, the City Council does not find any extraordinary circumstances as presented which apply to the property which de not apply to other properties in a wetland zoning district and, therefore, cannot grant a variance from building within the 100 foot setback from a designated wetland; and WHEREAS, the equal apportionment for filling the wetland has been calculated for Dynamic Designers to be 29 percent of the allowable filling for Wetland Nos. 1-9; and WHEREAS, the proposed filling for the development would reduce the excess phosphorus stripping capacity of the wetland by 38 percent which would exceed the developer's equal apportionment; and WHEREAS, the City's Consultant has determined that an increase of run-off volume will be at least 30 percent which would exceed the developer's equal apportionment; and WHEREAS, the City's Consultant has determined that peak run-off rates from the developed site will double from the rate of run-off from the undeveloped site which conflicts with Chapter 48 requiring the proposed action not cause storm water runoff from the wetland to take place at a rate which would exceed the natural rate of runoff; and car WHEREAS, the City's Consultant has determined that the filling for the proposed development will increase the wetland flood height by 15 feet which conflicts with Chapter 49 which states that filling cannot increase the wetland flood heights. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Mounds View denies the appeal by Dynamic Designers for their development proposal. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Nounds View concurs with the findings of the Planning Commission and upholds the recommendation of the Planning Commission to deny the request for a variance from lot size and lot width requirements in a wetland.
