Findings:
1. Of the 5,227 s.f. of wetland area on site, the applicant is proposing to impact approximately 3,175 s.f.

Conditions:
1. If required, that the applicant receives and applicable EGLE Part 303 Permit prior to issuance of a Land Improvement Permit.
2. That the applicant provides a detailed soil erosion plan with measures sufficient to ensure ample protection of wetlands areas, prior to issuance of a Land Improvement Permit.
3. That any temporary impact areas be restored to original grade with original soils or equivalent soils and seeded with a City approved wetland see mix where possible and implement best management practices, prior to final approval by staff.
