Regular City Council Meeting Monday, May 07, 2007 Page 9 City Attorney Anderson advised that the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rules, part 8420.90122, subpart 5 (incidental crea- tion), addressed 10 categories of exempt drain and fill activities, re- quiring that exempt activities receive a permit from the City Council. Mr. Anderson noted that a Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) re- viewed the applications and came up with the findings of the Wetland Act. Mr. Anderson further advised that the Council was asked, in ac- cordance with Section 1016.25 of the Code, to issue a Fill Permit, not to review findings of the Wetland Act. Mr. Anderson advised that he had requested a copy of the application; exemption certificate and findings of fact, and found them to look appropriate and in order.

Councilmember Ihlan specified that, for the record, she was basing her support of the motion on the findings of the TEP, that they were appropriate under that specific provision.
