RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Cassidy Hills Land Development and Eugene Cassidy has proposed the
filling of 0.35 acres of Type 2 wetland on property located east of Highway 63 east of
Stonehedge and north of Century High School, and north of East Circle Drive. The wetland
areas are sidehill Decorah Edge-related wetlands. The six wetlands proposed to be filled (a total
of 0.35 acres) is due to the required location of streets and related residential lots, and the

adjacent to the Stonehedge calcareous fen. The applicant also proposes direct replacement of
0.25 acres of new wetlands and 0.20 acres of buffer on the Cassidy property adjacent to an
existing wetland. The total wetland replacement is at a 2:1 replacement ratio or 0.7 acres. The
plan provides for over 0.85 acres of new wetlands and buffer; and,
