I have enclosed a copy of the ordinance, along with the general <br />requirements tbr preliminary plat submittal. <br /> <br />Wetlands: A portion of the property is wetland. The City will need to be provided a copy of the <br />wetland delineation report.

City Code requires a buffer between the units and the existing single <br />family deyelopment.
