The City determined that <br /> based on the size and quality of the adjacent wetland(south of your properiy)the existing <br /> wetland requires a 50' wetland buffer and 20' building setback from the buffer. To <br /> precede with the project a Wetland Buffer Variance Application is necessary. During the <br /> meeting a few items were discussed to potentially aid in the granting of the variance, <br /> these items are discussed below. <br /> � Your proposed addition to the existing garage falls within the wetland buffer/setback area <br /> (the garage expansion is a tota.l of 425 ftz). <br /> To off-set the impacts to the existing buffer the applicant proposes to: <br /> • Manage non-native/invasive species wifihin the existing wetland buffer/setback <br /> � Restore the buffer area with a native planting � <br /> • Create a small rainwater garden south of the proposed garage addition <br /> Egisting Buffer Restoration <br /> Non-native species, most notably common buckthorn (Rhmanus cathartica) will be <br /> managed within the existing buffer area. Buckthom with stumps 1.5" or greater will be <br /> cut and the siumps treated with an appropriate herbicide (glyphosate or triclopyr). <br /> ��cEivE� <br /> ARROWHEAD ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING <br /> 2�09�aDOw�ax� . . <br /> MOUND,MN 55364 p�� -� Z�,� <br /> 612-237-5996 � <br /> www.arrowheadec.com Ci�OF QRVIRJ <br />
