Zoning File #2086 <br />November 15, 1995 <br />Page 4 <br />Review Exhibit H, this specific wetland encroaches seven properties. If other property owners <br />seek to dredge open water area within this same wetland system, we would expect each owner <br />to mitigate equal areas of Type 2 for the area of dugout. Any property owner seeking to make <br />similar alterations would have to have a minimum 2 acres of dry contiguous lands within their <br />lot. <br />Issues for Consideration <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />Applicant has provided no information as to the method of excavating the pond. The <br />City will not approve the bulldozer approach but would require a scoop method <br />whereby only the area to be excavated is encroached upon. Topsoils, as the Engineer's <br />report requests, would be used to spread within the disturbed area to allow for the <br />return of the cattails. WTiat other issues should be addressed by applicant or applicant s <br />contractor with this land alteration? <br />Should the mitigation area be equal or greater to the open water area ... or should the <br />City require mitigation? <br />The City will recommend that the guidelines set out in the City Engineer's repx)rt and <br />the DNR handout be followed as closely as possible. Applicant's pended plan should <br />address the following guidelines, side slopes, irregular shoreline and location of <br />mitigation area.
