November 27, 2007 <br /> Craig Scherber <br /> 1006 Wildhurst Trail <br /> Orono, MN 55364 <br /> RE: Wetland Buffers ® 1006 Wildhurst Trail, Orono, MCWD Permit#05-115 <br /> Dear Mr. Scherber, <br /> During a recent review of surety documents, an inspection at 1006 Wildhurst Trail was <br /> conducted in regards to the approved Minnehaha Creek Watershed District permit#05- <br /> 115 for Rule B: Erosion control, Rule C: Floodplain alteration and Rule D: Wetland <br /> protection issued on May 31, 2005. <br /> One of the conditions of that permit approval was to have a declaration for <br /> preservation of the wetland buffers executed and recorded with Hennepin <br /> County. I have enclosed a copy of that document to emphasize the importance <br /> to preserving the wetland buffer on your property. Please note that the map <br /> attached shows the areas required to be preserved as wetland buffer with a <br /> native grass/wildflower seed mix. <br /> I have additionally attached a copy of what the Mn/DOT 15B seed mix should include. <br /> I would encourage you to add more native plantings to the edge of your property and <br /> especially along the Lakeshore to act as natural filters to stormwater runoff from your <br /> home, driveway and provide additional habitat for birds, and other small wildlife <br /> species. Please note the attached memo with websites that may be helpful in choosing <br /> native plants. <br /> Did you know that purple coneflowers and black eyed susans are MN natives?? <br /> Finally, it is very important that you understand the location of the areas <br /> protected on your property as listed on your deed. Please notate them as <br /> necessary to protect all native species from mowing and/or removal. <br /> Please call me at 952-471-0590 x 205 with any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Angela Hammers <br /> District Technician I <br /> C: Lyle Oman, City of Orono <br />
