(b} Grading, filling or excavating of more than 5Q cubic yards is prohibited within 75 feet of the ordinary <br /> high water level of the public waters enumerated in section 78-1217. <br /> (c} Public and private roads,driveways, parking areas,and public or private watercraft access ramps shall <br /> not t�e constructed within 75 feet of the ordinary high water level of the public waters enumerated in <br /> section 78-1217. If no attematives exist, such improvemen�s shall be subject to the standard zoning <br /> variance review procedure, and such review shall take into acxount the folfowing considerations: <br /> {1) Such improuements shall be designed to take advantage of natural vegetation and topography to <br /> achieve maximum screening from view from public waters. <br /> (2) Alt roads and parking areas shall be designed and c�nstructed to minimize and control erosion to <br /> public waters consistent with the requirements of all agencies with jurisdiction. <br /> (d) Except for those projects requiring permits for construction �f structures, sewage treatment systems <br /> and driveways, a land alteration permit will be required as foffows: <br /> (1) For movement flf up to 50 cubic yards of material wi#hin 75 feet of pubfic waters as per item (b) <br /> above, a staff-issued land alteration permit shall be required. <br /> (2) For movement of 51 th�ough 500 cubic yards of material anywhere within ths Shoreland Overlay <br /> District, except for within 75 feet of public waters, a staff-issued land alteration permit shalt be <br /> required. <br /> (3) Far movement of more than 500 cubic yards of material within the Shoreland Overlay District, <br /> conditional use permi# approval by the city council is required in addition to the required land <br /> alteration permit <br /> (e) The folfowing considerations and conditions must be adhered to durfng the issuance of construction <br /> permits, grading and fiiling permits, oonditional use permits, variances and subdivision approvals: <br /> (1) Grading or filling in 2�ny type 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 wetland must be evaluated to determine how <br /> extensively the proposed activity would affect the fo(tawing functional qualities of the wetland: <br /> a. Sediment and pollutant trapping and retention; <br /> b. 5torage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage; <br /> c. Fish and wildlife habitat; <br /> d. Recreational use; <br /> e. Shoreline or bank stabilization; and <br /> f. Noteworthiness, including special qualities, such as hiskoric signifcance, criticaf habitat for <br /> endangered plants and animals, or others. <br /> This evaluation must also include a determinatlon of whether the wetland alteration being <br /> proposed requires permits, reviews or approvals by other sections of city ordinances or by other <br /> local, state or federal agencies including but not limited to watershed districfs, state departrnent <br /> of natural resources, or the United States Army Corps of Engineers. <br /> {2) Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures only the smailest amount <br /> of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time possible. <br /> {3) Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for temporary bare soil ooverage, <br /> and a permanent vegetation cover must be established as soon as possible. <br /> (4) Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they reach any surtace water <br /> feature must be used. <br /> (5) Altered areas must be stabilized to aooeptable erosion control standards consistent with the�ield <br /> o�ce technical guides of the local soil and water conservatio� districts and the United States Soi! <br /> Conservation Servics. <br /> (6) Fill or excavafied material must not be placed in a manner that creates an unstable siope. <br /> Page 4 <br />
