MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCILREHBERS <br />FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR 1 <br />PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY 1 <br />DATE: MAY 20, 1988 <br />SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING REQUEST FOR WETLANDS AMENDMENT <br />OP GREENFIELD PARK <br />f I wish to request '',at a hearing date be set for Monday, June 27, for the <br />I amendment of Greenfield Park (Hillview Rd. and <br />Quincy St.) from a <br />wetland to non-wetlando Status. In April, 1988, Mr. Tom Peterson,dRamseyd <br />County Soil and Water Conservation, visited the site and reported that the <br />site does not have wetlsnd characteristics and should not be designated as <br />wetlands. Mr. Peterson agreed that leveling the parkland with availaLle fill <br />would not impact any wetlands. <br />I <br />Since that time, the City's street sweepings have been stockpiled on the <br />- parks grassy buffer area, awaiting grading. Because of its unsightliness, staff current <br />wishes to request the council to schedule a hearing to <br />declare the park area as non -wetlands. Then the City could proceed to grade <br />the Site acd seed as goon as possible. <br />Mr. Peterson plans to re -survey the City and provide a new, current wetlands <br />map. Since a tioie-line for this project is not determined, staff recommends <br />a special hearing to amend the wetland designation of Greenfield Park (on the <br />corner of Hillview and Quiucy) so that development can proceed. <br />RECOMM- L_ �N_ D_ A�: To request that the Mayor and Council set a hearing to <br />amend the wetland boundary of Greenfield Park, to be held June 27 at 7:15 <br />P.M. <br />i <br />i MS/SL <br />1 <br />i <br />1 <br />
