The portion of the property disturbed by construction or land alteration activity drains to the wetland. <br /> 2. The amount of grading exceeds 50 cubic yards or involves the disturbance of more than 5,000 square <br /> feet. <br /> 3. There is a net inbrease in impervious surfaces that drain to the wetland, new impervious surface is added <br /> closer to the wetland than existing impervious surfaces, or there is a change in drainage patterns that the <br /> City Engineer determines will increase the velocity or rate of runoff to the wetland. <br /> Since you indicated you had restored your wetland I had the City's wetland consultant visit your property to <br /> ensure the wetland buffer area satisfied the City's requirements. His report is attached. The use of buffer <br /> averaging is acceptable. <br /> All that will be required 's a wetland buffer easement and protective covenant. The document is enclosed.You <br /> will need to provide leg 1 descriptions of the wetland and the wetland buffer as well as a survey showing <br /> location of the buffer an that its area is not less than the area of a standard 35 foot wide buffer. There can be no <br /> impervious surface withi the buffer. Once we have this the permit will be issued. <br /> If you should have any questions feel free to contact me at 952-249-4623 or eturner@ci.orono.mn.us. <br /> Sincerely <br /> Eve n Turner <br /> City Planner <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
