c. A wetland delineation and report was completed for the properiy. The wetland <br /> delineation report is in the process of being reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek <br /> Watershed District, serving as the Local Government Unit administrator of the <br /> Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act. The report is dated April 20, 2015 and is <br /> available from Svoboda Ecological Resources(SER)upon request. <br /> d. The topography survey of the property was completed by Gronberg and <br /> Associates and is depicted on the attached survey map. <br /> e. The property was identified as a conceptual greenway corridor on Map 3A-5 and <br /> has abundant open space in the fozm of prairie and grassland areas on the <br /> southwestem portion of the site. Two mapped areas with the potential for rare, <br /> threatened or endangered plants are documented by the MLCCS report. No rare, <br /> threatened or endangered plants were observed during field investigatians. One of <br /> these potential areas is a floodplain forest located in the southeast portion of the <br /> praperty (Photo 14),and the other is a maple-hasswood forest as illustrated on the <br /> Natural Resources Map {Photos 25 and 2'n. The majority of the site is a former <br /> farmstead that has been highly altered,then recently restored as a native prairie. <br /> As the floodplain forest is small in size and will not be impacted, additional <br /> protection is not necessary. Additionally, widi the Tree Preservation Plan that is <br /> currently in place, the development that will occur within the maple-basswood <br /> forest will ensure the least amount of significant tree temoval possible. <br /> 4. Conservation Design Master Plan <br /> a. The existing drainage patterns will be maintained across the areas to be deveioped <br /> on the properiy <br /> b. The existing drainage pattems have been maintained in the proposed development <br /> plans. Each Lot has or will have two individual sewage treatrnent system <br /> drainfield sites appraved by the City. A map of the preliminary s�ptic system <br /> locations can be found in the attached preliminary site Iayout map. <br /> c. Only enough trees are being removed to put in the minimum width residential <br /> driveway. Outlots B and F, which will be roads and a cul-de-sac, will require the <br /> removal of 26 significant trees. The list of trees impacteci and their locations can <br /> be found atta,ched to this document Tree Preservation Areas are located on Lots <br /> 1-3 and 5-9. Prairie Preservation Areas are located on Lots l, 2, 1 d and 11. Refer <br /> to the attached conservation easement description and map for further detail. <br /> d. The live trees currently on the property appear to be in moderate to good health. <br /> There are,however,many trees that have died or are dying but do not appear to be <br /> diseased. These dead trees will be removed from the site. Many of the ash and <br /> elm trees that aze subject to disease are slated for removal. Trees in all Lots <br /> (except the Big Woods Lots of lot No. 6, 7, S, and 9) aze requireti to replace aIl <br />
