Proposed vegetative buffer will introduce a vegetative buffer strip, from 8' to 20' in depth, above the riprap walls. This vegetative buffer will be planting with native shorland species and adapted cultivars. The goal is a natural grass and forb buffer, rather than a manicured garden. This will provide filtration of all runoff from the yard, and allow some in- filtration as well. Some shrub plantings will be planted within this buffer area to provide some screening and provide some year-round visual edge. In the southern and wooded area of the property, the buffer will transition to understory and woodland edge plants that are more tolerant of the shade. The planting and design relies on the best practices as outlined in the Landscaping for Wild- life and Water Quality published by the MN DNR and The Lake Minnetonka Guide to Shoreline Gardens, funded by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Disturbance for planting to be kept to a minimum. Planting will be plugs and seeding.
