'. R e.p 0 r t 82 - 2 3 , Page. #4 .. ,STATUS OF DNR PERMIT APPROVAL On Tuesday, January 18th, a DNR staff person coordinating their permit revi~w told me the last division of DNR to review this application was on .the wildlife section. I was told however that the wildlife review was being completed and that it appeared there would be no significant environmental effect finding. However, I was told that it was highly probable that DNR would deny the permit based on the concern for the precedent setting nature of permitting develooment within a wetland area. DNR expressed a concern for similar projects throughout the metropolitan area. As of this writing (1/21/83) I have been unable to obtain further information from DNR. The DNR situation was discussed with our City Attorney and it was his opinion that DNR's concern was regional in nature and perhaps something not of local concern. The City Attorney suggested that any approval by the City should be contingent upon approval by DNR. The City Attorney further suggested that if the Council shared the concern of DNR that a letter from the Council to DNR expressing this concern may be appropriate. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS The application consis~of a special use permit, SP-109 a.nd a building permit, LP-137. It appears that the application for special use permit can be considered under Section 10-040 (b) (Floodway Ordinance). Further, the application does not appear to have a detrimental affect on development of surrounding property or that it would be injurious to the public health, safety or general welfare. Finally, with some contingencies, the application meets the requirements of Section 4-600 regarding height exceptions.
