SP-017-97. WHEREAS, the Mounds View Municipal Code includes Title 1000 which establishes Wetland Zoning Regulations; and, WHEREAS, the Wetland Zoning Regulations provide for the issuance of wetland alteration permits where development is anticipated in areas designated as wetlands and areas designated as wetland buffer, if certain criteria are met; and, WHEREAS, the use of the term wetland alteration permits for both wetlands and wetland buffer areas is confusing and misleading to the general public, when work is expected only in the wetland buffer; and, WHEREAS, the Wetland Zoning Regulations provide for administrative approval of minor construction projects; and, WHEREAS, it is desirable to add to this list of minor construction projects which may be handled by administrative approval in order to expedite review and action on typical property owner improvements, for which only a building permit is needed otherwise; and, WHEREAS, the criteria for review of such minor construction projects will assure that issues of drainage and protection of wetlands are addressed. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View Planning Commission does hereby recommend that the Mounds View City Council adopt Ordinance No. 602 related to Wetland Zoning Regulations, and Amending Title 1000, Chapter 1010, Sections 1010.07, 1010.08 and 1010,09.
