The City Council reviewed this application on September 22, 1997 and made the <br /> � � following findings: <br /> A. The applicants propose to fi110.56 acres of wetlands protected by City of <br /> Orono Ordinances and the Wetland Conservation Act, plus an additional <br /> 0.25 acres of wetland protected only under the Wetland Conservation Act, <br /> for which the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District is the City's designated <br /> local unit of government (LGU). <br /> B. The wetland impacts are a result of�lling within ten small wetland basins <br /> adjacent to existing County Road 6. A portion of the fill will impact <br /> designated floodplain along Painter Creek. <br /> C. The impacted area of the four Orono-protected wetlands which will <br /> experience some filling is small compared to the total aggregate area of <br /> • those wetlands. Wetlands No. 1N and 1S (as designated in the applicants' <br /> plans) are part of the Painter Creek drainageway, of which 0.24 acres will <br /> be impacted.

Municipal Zoning Code Section 10.56, Subdivision 16 (�(Sa) requires that <br /> . , the City give consideration to the functional qualities of the wetlands being <br /> filled in relation to sediment and pollutant trapping and retention, storage <br /> of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage, fish and wildlife <br /> habitat, recreational use, shoreline or bank stabilization, and <br /> � <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br />
