This lot (Lot 3, Block 1) was created in 1988 with the approval of the plat of “Trees To <br />Be”. (Exhibit B). <br />“Trees To Be” created Oullot B as a corridor for future private road access to the lot. (Exhibit D). <br />In 1988, when this subdivision was approved, approval for access over the wetland was not granted. <br />However, at that time it was noted approval would be required when the lot was developed. (Exhibit <br />C). When the subdivision w’as approved a flowage and conseivation easement was taken over the <br />wetlands, therefore a variance to the terms and conditions of the flowage and conservation easement <br />is required for this proposal, and the zoning variance process is the normal way such approvals are <br />granted. Because the proposal is for less than 500 cubic yards of fill, a land alteration permit can be <br />granted at the staff level when the fill approval is granted. <br />The proposal is to encroach upon the wetland with less than 125 cubic yards of fill to construct the <br />driveway. The w'etland is a type 2 w’etland and not a city protected wetland. The total wetland area <br />impacted is approximately 1500 square feet. This is actually less fill than would be needed if <br />applicant was going to extend the road for a further subdivision but that is not proposed. <br />U2643 Patrick/Kirsten Burton <br />2601 Rainey Road <br />I ’ariance <br />1 1/20/2000 <br />Page I <br />B
