<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />January 11, 2005 Workshop Agenda <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Review/Discuss Draft Outline of Wetland Buffer Ordinance <br /> <br />The Natural Resources Inventory report suggested that the City should consider adopting a <br />Wetland Buffer Ordinance. This will allow for a buffer area adjacent to wetlands, which will <br />allow natural filtration of pollutants such as chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, etc. Rebecca <br />Haug, Environmental Technical, in conjunction with the Wetland Technical Evaluation <br />Panel has prepared a draft outline of such an ordinance for review. This draft will have been <br />reviewed by the City Council at its January 10,2005 meeting. The Commission will then <br />have an opportunity to review and comment prior to its adoption. This will be included in <br />the Subdivision Ordinance as it applies to all wetlands, not just those in floodplain or <br />shoreland areas. <br /> <br />Review Desi&n Center's "Best Of' Slides <br /> <br />As a number of the Commission members had difficulty visiting the U of MN Design <br />Center's web site and downloading the slides of the Best Developments of the Region, we <br />will visit the web site and view the slides and discuss them as needed. <br /> <br />S:\PLANNING\Michele McPherson \PLREPRTS\Ol 1005 WS Agenda items. doc <br />
