C(~mmissioner Brauer asked if they could move this to the City Council with the note that public input and City Council approval has to be part of the adoption of the official wetland map. Chairperson Nixt stated that when the ordinance applies and what the prohibitions are for maintenance need to be addressed, and with those caveats he could make a recommendation to thc City Council. Mr. Hunt asked if he has a 50~foot setback from the wetlands, would this increase that setback. Zoning and Recycling Coordinator Anderson indicated that in the current draft, it would not; the setback and buffer would be one and the same. Mr. Ilunt stated he has a map from 1985 that defines his wetlands, which has been increased to 22 acres. Ife indicated he asked the DNR what he can do on that land, and they said he could mow it as long as he was not changing the water dfainage. He asked if that would change. Zoning and Recycling Coordinator Anderson stated it would not change without a trigger.

The wetland delineation map must be approved by the City Council following a public hearing. 2. Conditions when the ordinance is triggered should be spelled out in 9.26.05. 3.
