Zoning File #1306 Page 2 of 2 wetlands area, requires a variance setback to the 26' setback standard of 6'. Review EAhibit H. The area of the pond adjacent to the designated wetland will not contain any exposed or disturbed soils. The fill and grading is to be done to the northwest side of the proposed pond with appropriate silt fencing to be placed at the lower elevations to prevent erosion into the lower pond elevations. After final grades are completed, seeding will immediately follow. Please note the proposed drainfield area has not been effected by the excavation of the pond nor the filling and Trading to the northwest of the proposed pond area. The changes and alternations will not effect drainage as drainage will still flow to the wetlands area to the southeast. The island in the center of the pond will provide a natural habitat for the wildlife sought by the applicant. The pond will function predominantly as an aesthetic pond. The city engineer has also called note to the fact that the pond will be located over a drainage and utility easement, located along the shared lot line. He notes that this will not create any problems relative to the future use of the easement. Although the required setback of 26' has not been maintained from the designated wetland, once again staff would note that no disturbed soils would be located within the area of the wetlands and the drainage from the newly filled area will be draining around over grassed areas before it reaches the wetlands to the southeast. In addition, the applicant will provide the necessary silt fencing until the ground cover has been restored.
