These districts are subject to <br /> additional requirements beyond those required by the WCA. The boundaries of the <br /> wetland overlay districts are identified graphically on the official City Wetland Map <br /> (CWM) which is hereby adopted by reference, a copy of which shall be lcept on file in the <br /> office of the City Clerk and shall be available for public review during all normal office <br /> hours. Wetlands in addition to those shown on the City Wetland Map may exist, and may <br /> be identified by wetland delineations under WCA rules. If a specific wetland delineation <br /> has been done under WCA rules, then the boundaries of the wetland overlay district for <br /> that location will be as shown in the delineation. The City may require wetland <br /> delineations to determine compliance with WCA rules and to determine administrative <br /> wetland boundaries; however, property owners may have wetland delineations done for <br /> their properties on their own initiative. The delineation must be done by a qualified <br /> professional according to WCA rules and be acceptable to the Plannin� Director, who <br /> may require review by City consultants or a Technical Evaluation Panel if <br /> necessary. Approved WCA �vetland delineations must be provided to the city in a hard <br /> copy format and a CAD or GIS format in Hennepin County coordinates. The Plannin� <br /> Director will have the approved �UCA �i�etland delineations shown on the official Cit}- <br /> Wetland Map. Public �vaters are not included in the overlay district. unless a wetland is <br /> part of a public �vater. <br /> Pa�e � of�? <br />
