Attachment A: New Information `� #�o��s ;t�i��}�n�eI itosev�ite ��t,y Coun�i� ?E�e�taan� �. l�itigarian The area being discussed is now utiiized as a storcn �vater drainage and retention area. Storm water is channeled to the area from many paints in the surrounding neighborhaod. It is recognized that �hile the area was not historically a"wetland", it has some wetland type characteristics (soils, vegetatian, hydrology) - which of course have significantly expanded due ro the storm water. "Che proposed addition to the McDaniel home is about 75 feet firom the wetland noted on the Certiiicate of Survey, well outside the 50 foot setback requirement. `I�e proposed addition is about 35 feet from the existing storm water retention boundary. With a variance being granted, the McDaniel's are willing to mitigate any potential quality issues to the storm water retention area. The mitigation would include bank stabilization to prevent erosion and filtration vegetation. This would result in a net increase in the functionai benefits of wetland protection in this area. The McDaniel's have already �ontracted a qualified ecological firm to perform a baseline MinRAM assessment (quality assessment) on the area Another MinRAM assessment could be performed in the future to canfirm mitigation plan et�ectiveness. Summary • The Certificate of Stuvey is the legally binding document for determining property boundaries and setbacks. • The proposed addition is about 75 feet from the wetland indicated on the Certif cate of Survey. • The Schoell Madson drawing, �irith the enlarged wetland area, �-as generated in Peb, 1995. The Certiticate of Survey was �enerated in Nov, 1996. The enlarged wetland couid have been included in Certificate of Survey. However, it was not. • The MeDaniel's would have absolutely not selected the lot at S27 Owasso Hills if the enlarged wetland was a known limitation. • The area was not historically a wetland. To this day it is not registered as a wetland at the State or Federal leve(. •'The McDaniel's are wi(ting to implement a mitigation plan to increase the functional benefits of wetland protection in the area being discussed. I look forward to the Feb 26 City Council meeting. Your consideration is appreciated.
