wetland setback is a city imposed restriction on building and grading activity and <br />is intended to preserve the buffer by establishing a minimum separation between <br />buildings and hard cover and the buffer. <br />Discussion regarding the differences between the wetland buffer and wetland <br />setback followed. <br />Barnhart mentioned that there had previously been discussion about decreasing <br />the setback. Barnhart stated that the Planning Commission did not recommend <br />any changes to the ordinance. Barnhart mentioned that they are trying to create a <br />balance for the buffer -setback by being somewhat open since wetlands often <br />change with the climate. Barnhart recommended not looking into removing the <br />additional setback, but possibly looking into reducing it. Barnhart mentioned by <br />reducing the setback you are allowing homeowners the ability to fully use their <br />property. There was further discussion regarding the possibilities of various <br />options to regulate the setback. No action was taken but later discussion may <br />follow in future meetings. <br />Meeting End Time: 6:45p.m. <br />ATTEST: <br />Anna Carlson, City Clerk Dennis Walsh, Mayor <br />
