City Council and City Staff should have spent more time and <br />money researching this when watershed areas were established and DNR should <br />view this area and see what they have done. Mr. Schnelle stated that the City <br />would not have allowed platting of this area if such a wetland had existed. <br /> <br />Councilmember COx stated that the situation is much worse than what Mr. <br />Schnelle is saying; all kinds of controls are put on us by all levels of <br />government and it costs money to fight them. <br /> <br />Mr. Jim Battenberg - 7471 150th Lane - ~hanked Council and Staff for what they <br />have done so far. Mr. Battenberg stated that he would like something in <br />writing from the City stating that platting would never have been allowed if <br />such a wetland existed in this area and in it's present condition, that area <br />would not be approved for platting today. Mr. Battenberg stated that he has <br /> January 22, 1985 <br /> <br />Page 15 of 30 <br /> <br /> <br />
