Permanent natural buffer areas and appropriate erosion control measures be taken <br />surrounding wetland areas to prevent sedimentation of the wetland; and <br /> <br />B. Wetlands may not be drained or filled, wholly or partially, unless replaced by <br />restoring or creating wetland areas of at least equal public value. Wetland <br />encroachment must be guided by the following principles in descending order: <br /> <br />1. Avoiding the direct or indirect impact of the activity that may <br />destroy or diminish the wetland; and <br /> <br />2. Minimizing the impact by limiting the degree or magnitude of <br />the wetland activity and its implementation; and <br /> <br />3. Rectifying the impact by repairing, rehabilitating, or restoring <br />the affected wetland environment; and <br /> <br />4. Reducing or eliminating the impact over <br />time by preservation and maintenance operations during the <br />life of the activity; and <br /> <br />5. Replacing or providing substitute wetland resources or <br />environments. <br /> <br />Division 145: Woodland Preservation <br /> <br />In residential areas, structures shall be located in such a manner that the maximum number of <br />woodlands shall be preserved. If large numbers of trees are cut in residential areas, trees shall be <br />replanted in a density and manner satisfactory to the City Council. Clear cutting of woodlands for non- <br />agricultural purposes is prohibited, unless the action involves a utility or roadway, required by the public, <br />and includes a reforestation plan required by the City Council. <br /> <br />Division 150: Erosion and Sedimentation Control <br /> <br />No land occupant or developer in the City shall cause or conduct any land disturbing activity which <br />causes excessive erosion or sedimentation, or which results in damage to water or soil resources. All <br />development in the City shall conform to the natural limitations presented by the topography and soil <br />types in order to minimize soil erosion and sedimentation. Erosion and sedimentation controls shall be <br />consistent with the MPCA's, "Best Management Practice'~ <br /> <br />Land disturbing activities shall occur in increments of workable size such that adequate erosion and <br />Page 40 of 59 <br />
