These districts are subject to additional <br /> requirements beyond those required by the WCA. The boundaries of the wetland overlay districts <br /> are identified graphically on the official city wetland map (CWM)which is hereby adopted by <br /> reference, a copy of which shall be kept on file in the office of the city clerk and shall be available <br /> for public review during all normal office hours. Wetlands in addition to those shown on the city <br /> wetfand map may exist, and may be identified by wet{and delineations under WCA rules. If a <br /> specific wetland delineation has been done under WCA rufes, then the boundaries of the wetland <br /> overlay district for that location will be as shown in the delineation. The city may require wetland <br /> delineations to determine comp(iance with WCA rules and to determine administrative wetland <br /> boundaries; however, property owners may have wetland delineations done for their properties on <br /> http://libral-��.municode.com/print.aspx?h=&clientID=13094&HTMRequest=http%3 a%2f%... 3/�/2013 <br />
