~~~ <br />~- <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Jeremy Barnhart, Planning Manager <br />n <br />FROM: Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator ~~' <br />DATE: February 6, 2008 <br />SUBJECT: Gateway Business Park Wetland Issues <br />As requested, staff met with Keith Grow, Board of Soil & Water Resources (BWSR) who <br />administers the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) rules regarding the Gateway Business <br />Park for preliminary discuss regarding anticipated wetland impacts. During our meeting <br />with Keith, we were informed that the WCA will not approve applications for speculative <br />developments. This was brought up after asking what the possibility of impacting wetlands <br />without knowing the specific development proposal would be. For the City this means <br />specific development proposals must be identified prior to any wetland impacts being <br />considered for approval by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). <br />However, the road infrastructure can go through the WCA process prior to having specific <br />development proposals identified. Please let me know if you need further clarification on the <br />WCA rules regarding Gateway Business Park. <br />
