If application of <br /> MCWD buffer regulations is in conflict with Ci , re�ulations, the more restrictive <br /> requirements shall applv. . <br /> (c) ' In order to provide for a minimum level of wetland protection where Minnehaha <br /> Creek Watershed District buffer rules do not provide for adequate separation <br /> between wetlands and buildin�s or other structures or surfaces, the Ci shall <br /> . require setbacks from the delineated edge of a protected wetland as follows: <br /> Page 4 of 16 <br />
