WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommends approval of
the Wetland Alteration Permit based on the city Consultant
Engineer's finding that the request meets or exceeds the
applicable sections of the Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, the Developer has requested a variance from
the 100 foot wetland setback requirement; and

reviewed this request and found that there are exceptional or
extraordinary circumstances which apply to this property which do
not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or
vicinity and results from lot size or shape, topography, or other
circumstances over which the owners of the property, since
enactment of this Code, have had no control; and

the variance request within the 100 foot wetland setback
requirement; and
