Mr. Corkle replied that he was not sure how that would be impact of the agencies. City Engineer Jankowski noted that state aid would look at that restriction as not..-15~ing favorable.

When the delineation of the site is completed they will pick up where the boundary of the wetland is and then verify that with the WMO, than an easement will be placed over the wetland. He also explained that the volume of retention ponds being proposed is a function that will be looked at by the WMO engineer.
