WHEREAS, the City of Rochester/Rochester International Airport identified wetlands as
part of its construction of a runway extension on the northwest end of Runway 13-31 at the
Rochester International Airport. The runway extension requires the realignment of County Road
16 and bridge across Willow Creek immediately north of County Road 16. There are 2.03 acres
of Type 2 wetlands along the Creek within the construction project. The bridge will span Willow
Creek, however the road relocation and bridge approach will cause a filling of 1.04 acres of the
wetland. The applicant has proposed wetland replacement through the Board of Water and Soil
Resources road replacement program. The total replacement will be 2.08 acres that will be paid
for by the Rochester International Airport through the roadway construction project budget; and,
WHEREAS, the Technical Evaluation Panel met and recommended approval of the
application subject to the following conditions:
1. The applicant must submit the required form and cost of wetland purchase as
• determined by BWSR for the 2.08 acres.
2. The applicant must submit a copy of the application form and the approval by
BWSR to the Planning Department prior to grading work within the wetland.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Common Council of the City of
Rochester that the City approve the Wetland Replacement Plan presented by the City of
Rochester/Rochester International Airport subject to the above conditions.
The Mayor and the City Clerk are authorized and directed to approve this plan on behalf
of the City.
