Mr. Thatcher refer- enced several sections of City Code: Section 1102.07b, Subdivision Regulations, and Section 1016.23, Shoreland, Wetland and Storm Wa- ter Management. Mr. Thatcher addressed soil borings and site information; the need to comply with MPCA standards; and within .his letter, provided eight (8) areas where he opined that "the Plan may fall short of the MPCA standards." Councilmember Ihlan opined that the application did not meet State Statute and City Code requirements in Section 462.358, Subd. 3.b, which she proceeded to read through. Councilmember Ihlan further opined that Mr. Boryczka raised sufficient points where there may be inconsistencies with the plan and City Code that would support not approving the Final Plat as presented at this time, triggering the need for resubmission by the applicant due to land use deadlines. Coun- cilmember Ihlan expressed personal concern that to-date there had been no submission of a landscaping survey or tree preservation plan
