Ms. Jeanne A. Mabusth November 5, 1993 <br />Page -2- <br />Thc City Code requires a 26 foot setback from wetlands that arc identified in the City s <br />wetland inventory map. These wetland areas are identified on the sketch plan as <br />numbers 6, 8, 9, 12, 12A, 13 and part of 7. All other wetlands that have been delineated <br />arc regulated at the State level by the Wetland Conservation Act At the present time <br />interim guideUnes for the Act arc in force. Beginning on January 1, 1994, the <br />permanent rules will be in effect. These rules will require the replacement of any filled <br />wetlands at a 2:1 ratio based on area. This ratio applies for replacement with the same <br />type of wetland that was lost. At the Federal level the wetlands are regulated by the <br />U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The plan shows some of the wetland areas that will be <br />filled as part of the site grading, as well as the wetland replacement mitigation area. <br />However, due generally to the random location of wetlands, it appears that the proposed <br />density of 58 lots may be more than the property can accommodate. <br />Drainage and utility easements will be required 5 feet wide along all lot lines and 10 feet <br />wide along the roadway right-of-ways. Drainage easements should be provided over the <br />ponding, wetland and mitigation areas. <br />Please contact me at this office if you have any questions regarding this matter. <br />Yours very truly. <br />BONESTROO, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. <br />Shawn D.
