The <br /> wetland is very small in comparison to the overall property. Brady indicated she was originally told that <br /> --- the wetland was not an issue and then it became an issue approximately two weeks prior to construction <br /> of the swimming pool. <br /> Brady stated she is requesting the City Council waive the requirements for the wetland buffer. The <br /> property consists of 5 acres and the wetland buffer is located 400 feet from the pool. The pool would <br /> . have no impact on the wetland area. The wetland area has been mowed for the past 20 years and has been <br /> consistently dry. Brady indicated she would be willing to leave the native grass in that area grow if that is <br /> what the City Council determines is appropriate. <br /> -- ---- — Page 1 of 12 -- — - <br />
