Section 2. Standards.
2.01 City Ordinance Section 18-221 (d) (1) requires a minimum buffer width of 50
feet from Manage C Wetlands where no building, grading, or mowing is
permitted.
2.02 City Ordinance Section 18-221 (h) (1) provides procedures for granting a
variance to the wetland ordinance requirements and refers to the state statute
where a variance may be granted when: (1) the variance is in harmony with the
general purposes and intent of this ordinance; (2) when the variance is
consistent with the comprehensive plan; and (3) when the applicant establishes
that there are practical difficulties in complying with the ordinance. Practical
difficulties mean: (1) The proposed use is reasonable; (2) the need for a
variance is caused by circumstances unique to the property, not created by the
property owner; (3) the proposal will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
Section 3. Findings.
3.01 1. Wetland buffer mitigation will improve the existing buffer with native plants
and seed.
2. The proposed development meets the intent of City ordinance standards in
the North End Zoning District and is consistent with the goals of our
comprehensive plan.
3. The request is reasonable. Any future improvement on this site will require
work within the wetland buffer, and the proposed development will
significantly improve the stormwater and wetland buffer conditions of the
site.
4. The existing conditions on this property are unique and not caused by the
property owner.
