The <br /> amendments must be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 78-43 of this ordinance <br /> and WCA replacenient rules. These ainendments must be consistent with the purpose of <br /> this ordinance, the City's Surface Water Management Plan and the goals and policies of <br /> the Community Management Plan. In determining the appropriateness of a rezoning <br /> request, the City Council will consider the size of the wetland overlay district, the <br /> magnitude of the area proposed for removal, hydrological and ecological effects and the <br /> type and fiuiction of wetlands involved in order to provide the maximlun feasible <br /> protection. <br /> (b) Wetlands within an overlay district may only be removed according to <br /> WCA rules and if at least an equal area of new wetland is created to compensate for the <br /> wetland being filled. However, the deminimus exemption specified by the WCA rules for <br /> wetland replacement may be used for the reinoval of Type 1 wetlands that are not <br /> included within the City's overlay district. Unless otherwise approved by the City Council, <br /> compensatory wetland area must be provided witlun the same subwatershed district as the <br /> wetland being altered. <br /> (c) In addition to application requireinents, the City may require submission <br /> and approval of the following information: <br /> (1) An approved wetland re�lacement plan application from the MCWD; <br /> (2) A concept plan showing the ultimate use of the property; <br /> (3) A grading plan, in hard copy format a�lcl a CAD or GIS fornlat in <br /> Heimepin County coordinates, with appropriate drainage calculations and <br /> erosion controls prepared by a registered engineer; <br /> 13 <br />
