Wetland A (east side of lot) is classified as a Preserve and . <br /> .y. , <br /> requires a 50 foot buffer, Wetland B (west side, south of driveway) is classified as a Manage 2 and requires a 25 foot buffer <br /> and Wetland L (west side, north of driveway) is not classified on the City Map. Wetland C will need to have a MNRAM <br /> completed to determine the appropriate wetland classificatian and buffer width. All other wetfand buffers are accurately depicted <br /> on the Certificate of Survey and Preliminary Plat . � <br /> Wetland fill impacts are proposed to Wetland B and Wetland C for the access road. The wetland delineation is currently out for <br /> review and no permit has been reviewed and approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed.

We will review the buffers in the field to determine if any vegetation <br /> maintenance to remove invasive species is necessary. <br /> Wedand Buffer Markers � <br /> Wetland Buffer Markers will be required at least every 200 feet and there proposed locations should be shown on future <br /> submittals for fity Approval.
