Applicant's property consists <br />of 4.9 acres, of which roughly 2.9 acres are part of this designated <br />wetland. The total area of the wetland is.5.7 acres. The DNR also <br />designates this wetland as #863-W. This would appear to be a naturally <br />occurring wetland. <br />This wetland appears to act as a storage and retention pond for the fairly <br />extensive drainage area to the north and west. The City Engineer has been <br />asked to review the proposal and the effects it may have on this important <br />reservoir or retention area for the drainage system. The plan was <br />submitted by the applicant for leview by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br />District and has received approval from this body. The Hennepin Soil <br />and Water Conservation District has no adverse comments to the proposal. <br />The applicant has applied to the DNR for a permit. The DNR has not acted <br />yet, but in my conversation with Roy Schultz of the DNR regional office, <br />he indicated they are generally in favor of projects of this nature. <br />4 <br />41 <br />,1 <br />-If <br />MillitiMtriM IrmVi( Tiln •filil'i' r 4n i"' '-if'- ii' li ir m 'w-Tii n'lTiiiH k <br />I <br />H <br />4 <br />:■ i <br />#817 - St <br />March 12, <br />Page 2 <br />Notwithsti <br />project wl <br />wetlands v <br />Policies 1 <br />Comprehens <br />7.
