To insure that the policies in this <br />section are pro .t!erly implemented, any person undertaking development to or on any land within <br />the Shoreland a~d Critical River overlay districts shall, prior to commencing the work, obtain an <br />environmental ~ermit from the City.

Permit Standards. The following standards shall be met when any <br />development is ~ndertaken within the overlay districts. <br /> a. No filling, grading, dredging, excavation or construction shall be <br /> allowed within any wetlands area; nor on lands abutting, adjoining or <br /> affecting said areas if such activity upon those adjacent areas is <br /> incompatible with City policies expressed here, in other documents and <br /> in the relevant storm water drainage study. Development is improper <br /> and therefore prohibited which may result in loss and damage to public <br /> and private improvements through inundation by flood waters and <br /> subsequent expensive construction of storm sewers and other public <br /> projects, in the permanent desu-uction of natural resources, loss of water <br /> retention facilities, open space and wildlife habitats and impairment of <br /> public and private water supplies. Minimum area requirements for <br /> building sites shall be determined in accordance with Section 9.04 of the <br /> City Code, the standards of the Shoreland Overlay District and the <br /> Critical Rivers Area Overlay District. <br /> b. Except in the Critical River Overlay Area, a minimum amount <br /> of filling may be allowed when necessary, but in no case shall the <br /> following restrictions on total amount of filling be exceeded. Since the <br /> total amount of filling which can be permitted is limited, the City, when <br /> considering permit applications, shall consider the equal apportionment <br /> of fill opportunity to riparian land owners. <br /> <br /> Total filling shall not cause the total natural flood storage capacity of the <br /> wetland to fall below the projected volume of runoff from the entire area <br /> wetland water shed generated by a ten-year storm. <br /> <br /> Total filling shall not cause the total natural nutrient stripping capacity of <br /> the wetland to fall below the nutrient production of the wetland <br /> watershed shed for its projected development. <br /> <br />51 <br /> <br /> <br />
