That access was on private properiy,and the owner recently converted it to lavv�i <br /> area.The Cityllas long held that the Cityhas an obligation to provide reasonable access <br /> to the interior roads on the island for the needs ofthe few inland properties which do not <br /> abut the lakeshore,and for the occasional service or emergencyvelucles which mayneed <br /> to access the island. <br /> B) A small wetland lies witlun the 90'wide dedicated right-of-way corridor.The wetland in <br /> question is approximately 1/8 acre in area and is not on the City's 1974 wetland inventory, <br /> and therefore is not defined as a"City-protected Wetland";however, it is subject to <br /> Wetland Conservation Act(WCA)regulations,which the Muuiehalia Creek Watershed <br /> District administers on the City's behalf. <br /> C) The proj ect is being proposed uzlder the WCA"de ininimus"rules because it uivolves less <br /> than 400 s.f.ofwetland area being filled.Therefore,the amount of fill and tlie impact of that <br /> fill is so rninor as to not require mitigation. The proposed filling is 215 s.f.at the SE corner <br /> � of the wetland. The proposed driveway fill will be no clbser than 6'from the properiy line <br /> to the south. This complies with City requirements that do not allow filling within 5'of a <br /> lot line. . <br /> D) The filling will impact a 12 cubic yard area of flood plain. An equivalent volume will be <br /> excavated adj acent to the NW corner of the floodplain area within the right-of-way as <br /> equal initigation. <br /> E) The driveway will constitute filling of 25 cubic yards of gravel in the 0-75'zone,requiring <br /> a CUP,and will constitute approximately 750 s.f.or 12%impervious surface in the 0-75' <br /> zone. These impacts are unavoidable in order to provide suitable access,and have been <br /> � minimized by liiniting the width of the driveway to 10'. <br /> F) ThisapplicationwaspreparedbyPublicServicesDirectorGregGappawiththeassistance <br /> . of John Smyth,Water Resource Specialist with Bonestroo &Associates,the City's � <br /> engineering and environmental consultants.The appropriate applications are being made <br /> to the MCWD.
