PLANNING a `" "L <br /> 210 Martin Luther King Jr.Blvd ZONING <br /> Madison,WI 53703 <br /> Subject: Wetland Determination- SE1/4, SE/14, Section 5,Town of Burke <br /> Dear Mr.Bindl: <br /> On May 3,2001,I inspected property located at the SE 1/4, SE 1/4, Section 5,Town of Burke,Dane <br /> County. The purpose of my inspections was to assess the wetland boundary as depicted in the drawing <br /> attached. <br /> The property contains a diverse population of wetland and upland plant species. I am assuming the <br /> boundary shown on the map corresponds to a 1-foot drop in grade on the property. Presumably filling at <br /> some point in the past created the uplands on this site. However,it would not be appropriate to assume <br /> the wetland follows the edge of this fill line. The following wetland species were observed between the <br /> roadway and the edge of the fill line;bristly sedge,prairie cordgrass,horsetail,tall sunflower,red osier <br /> dogwood and reed canary grass. Based on my inspection, it appears the actual wetland edge undulates <br /> along the fill line on a diagonal in the same general direction as the one shown on the attached drawing. <br /> I am recommending that the owner of the property have an official wetland delineation conducted prior to <br /> development or zoning decision. The wetland delineation is necessary to ensure the owner doesn't <br /> inadvertently fill wetlands and violate recently promulgated state statutes in the process. <br /> If you have any questions or concerns,contact me at(608)743-4820. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Mike Halsted <br /> Water Management Specialist <br /> Lower Rock River Basin <br /> (608)743-4820 <br /> cc: Bill Sande—COE <br /> Jim Gregorius—Dane County Zoning <br /> Kevin Connors—Dane County LCD <br /> Kamran Mesbah—Dane County RPC <br /> www.dnr.state.wi.us Quality Natural Resources Management <br /> www.wisconsin.gov Through Excellent Customer Service <br /> PrMW on <br /> Recycled • <br /> Paper <br />
