Purpose and intent. <br /> (a) The purpose of this section is to recognize, preserve and protect the environmental, <br /> aesthetic and hydrologic functions of the city's wetlands by regulating the use of wetlands and their <br /> adjacent properties in conjunction with the goals of the environmental protection plan within the <br /> community management plan. These functions include, but are not limited to, sediment control, pollution <br /> control, filtration, fish and wildlife habitat and aquifer recharge. The surface water management plan will <br /> provide guidance for stormwater treatment requirements and wetland restoration opportunities in order to <br /> protect the integrity of wetlands. <br /> (b) The intent of this section is to protect wetlands to the maximum extent possible while <br /> allowing a reasonable use of the property. This section adopts the regulations and standards of the <br /> Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 (WCA), Laws of Minnesota 1991, chapter 354, as amended, and the <br /> rules adopted pursuant to the WCA. It also establishes a wetland overlay district. This overlay district <br /> further regulates the underlying land use as allowed by other districts or the WCA. <br /> 7 <br />
