Our commitment is demonstrated by our ; <br /> . existing ordinances protecting shoreli.ne and aur requarements that watlands and buffers <br /> be placed in outlots deeded to the City of Victoria during development processes. <br /> We ogpose the proposed rules as drafted as they present significant issues for both the <br /> City and individuat praperty owners without signif cant measurable benefits to water <br /> quality.Tbis letter seroes to highlight our overriding concerns with the regulations ss <br /> ontlined,but is not intended to address each individual element of the draf�ivle. <br /> Rule D: The rules outline additional regulations and requirements above and beyond j <br /> what is required by the Wetland Conservafiion Act Atl wetland i�zles should be j <br /> consistent with the Wetland Conservation Act. <br /> The outlined buffer triggers are excessive.Buffer requirements should only be triggered <br /> in cases where there are wetland impacts. The praposed buffer widths are excessive. <br /> Tile triggers when combined with the new width requiremenis may result in a � <br /> regulato�y taking of usable property. <br /> , <br /> F <br /> � �:; <br /> � <br />
