§ 20-404. Official wetland map.

(a)

The city shall maintain the official city wetland inventory, which is hereby adopted by reference. An electronic copy of this map shall be maintained on the city's geographic information system (GIS) database, with both hard and electronic copies being made available for public review upon request.

(b)

The city wetland inventory shall identify each basin as one of four management categories: Preserve, Manage 1, Manage 2, and Manage 3. These classifications will be determined using Figure 1.1 "Wetland Management Classification Process Flowchart for Basic Wetland Protection" from Minnesota Routine Assessment Method for Evaluating Wetland Functions (MnRAM Version 3.0), or future versions.

(c)

The presence or absence of a wetland on the city wetland inventory does not represent a definitive determination as to whether a jurisdictional wetland that would be covered by this article is present. Wetlands identified during a site specific delineation, but not identified by the city wetland inventory, are still subject to the provisions of this article.

(d)

The city wetland inventory does not depict delineated wetland boundaries and shall not be used as such.

(e)

The city wetland inventory shall be amended to include any wetlands discovered during the site review process.
