STONEWOOD, LLC CONSERVATION DESIGN ANALYSIS <br />G. Need for Proactive Management and Protection <br />Disturbed areas will be stabilized with turf grass seed/sod typical of residential home sites. <br />Stabilization will be accompanied by continued maintenance until fully established and self- <br />sustaining. Additionally, any diseased trees and invasive trees will be addressed on an as <br />needed basis. <br />3. Conservation Design Master Plan <br />A. Consideration of Existing Drainage <br />387 Orono Orchard Road preserves existing drainage patterns to Lake Minnetonka. <br />B. Establishment of stormwater management system and methods of phosphorus reduction <br />387 Orono Orchard Road enhances stormwater collection and treatment through installation of two <br />stormwater infiltration basins. <br />C. Removal of invasive species and diseased trees <br />387 Orono Orchard Road results in the removal of diseased trees and invasive species on an as <br />needed basis. <br />D. Protection of significant tree stands and mitigation of stands to be impacted <br />387 Orono Orchard Road proposes to preserve existing significant tree stands. <br />E. Protection of existing wetlands, augmentation of buffers, mitigation of impacts and <br />enhancement of degraded systems <br />387 Orono Orchard Road will protect existing project site wetlands and their vegetative buffers. <br />F. Justification and mitigation of any negative impact to ecological communities <br />No significant impacts to ecological communities are expected. <br />G. Maintenance of ecological connections <br />387 Orono Orchard Road is identified by the City of Orono as a conceptual greenway corridor. Tree <br />clearing will be minimized throughout the project site to preserve existing green way corridors and <br />connections to area wildlife. <br />H. Maintenance and protection of existing positive views and mitigation of negative views <br />387 Orono Orchard Road minimizes grading and clearing of vegetation, thus limited impacts to the <br />views from Orono Orchard Road. <br />I. Preservation or reinterpretation of existing landmarks <br />Project does not impact local community landmarks. <br />4. Density & Performance Bonuses <br />The project is not requesting any density or performance bonuses. <br />387 ORONO ORCHARD ROAD <br />ORONO, MN <br />JUNE 2018 12 <br />
