The applicant has proposed to the MCWD that he will convert a 3* wide area along the west property boundary from gravel to Minnesota wild grasses and will install a rock drain with a skimming structure (PIG) for the proposed equipment wash site as BMPs. Curtis stated that staff performed a site visit with Hennepin County Environmental Services staff and addressed the issues Planning Commission brought up during the work session. Those issues were: the appropriateness of curbing, paving the west parking area vs. gravel, and how effective the proposed waste trap and skimming structure would be.
