Minnehaha Creek Watersbed Disorict Technicai Evaluation Panel on Apri! 28, 2015. Additional <br /> inforination was requested by ylCWD with the final submittai on June 9, 2015. Fina1 '_Jotice of <br /> Decision approval is pending.Exhibit C shows the wetlands on the parcel. <br /> d. The topograghy of the subject parcel was completed by Sathre-Berquist, Inc. and is depicted on the <br /> attached survey map(Exhibit D,to be provided by Satf�rc-Be�gquist). <br /> e. Portians of the subject pa�rcels aze identified as conceptual greenway corridars on Map 3A-5 <br /> p�imarily due to thc goal c�uaiity mesic hardwood forest, moderate quality bIactc ash swamps, and <br /> cattail marsh present. The site development will not impact this greenway corridor as no wetlands <br /> will be im�acted. Furthermore,of the portion of the mesic hardwood forest located within Lots 6 and <br /> 7, nearly thc cntirety of it is pmtected duc to thc wetland and its buffer 75' within the forest and the <br /> additional"no cut"zones(Exhibit F). No rare plant communities were observed on site and were not <br /> identified on �rlap 3A-5. The portions of ihe subject parcels not part of th� c4nceptuaI grcenway <br /> corridor(Lots 1-3 and part of Lot 4)was farmer cropland that has been highly altcred. The disturbed <br /> state of these lots would innply that there is no necd for managemeat and protection of plant <br /> commimities onsite,as the vast majority arc low quality,non-native,or i�nvasiv�c specties. <br /> 4.Conservatioa Design vlsster P1an <br /> a. The topography of the site is rolling hills, with elevations decreasing from the southv�•estern edge <br /> of the property to the northeast, wztb stormwatcr cunoff draining into three depressional wetlands, <br /> ��Vetland I is located along the northwest edge of the property and collects stormwatcr runo�'from <br /> the western half of the parcels. Va'ctland 2, spanning the east edge of the pmjcct parcels, collrcts the <br /> wattr fram d�e east side af the project parcels. Wetland 3 is a small area located in the east-cen�a! <br /> sectioii of the 200 Stubbs Ba�- parcel. Due to iis siu, it collects only a small portion of the <br /> stormwater runoff from the east side. �lfl�ough the eastern portion of the 200 Stubbs Bay Road <br /> parcel was previously agrict��tural land,tiling R�as never put in place, which was�erified by the sitc <br /> developer. <br /> b� The existing drainage patterns havc been maintained. Site drainage will continue to flow from the <br /> southwest tA thc northeast, v�-ith the xna;jority draiuing to Wetlands 1 and 2. Vl�etland 1 collects water <br /> draiuing from the R-estern half of the 200 and 350 Stubbs Bay Road percels whiie the 1�'etland 2 <br /> collects surface v��ater ninoff from the easoern half af the parcels. <br /> a Invasive species were evalua#ed on June 10, 2015, and include common buckthorn, reed canary <br /> grass, gazlic mustard and graund ivy. Groupc� locations c�n be found on the attached map (E�,ibit <br /> E). A narrow strip of huckthorn seedlings, saplings and trees run along the a cst and soudi <br /> boundaries of the subject parcels, along the north border of the basswood-maple forest and parcel <br /> botmdary between 200 and 350 Stubbs Bay Road Buckthom is present throughout t�e eastem <br /> section of the subjcct parcels in both the black ash swamp and altered/nan-native dcciduous for�st. A <br /> small clust�r of buckthorn is present in the west-centcal portion of Lot S. Dense aneas of reed canary <br /> grass are present in isolated populations in six areas, Gen�raily, the zeed canary grass can be found <br /> within all thrce wetlands �s well as south of the mcsic hardwood forest. Gr4und ivy is loosely <br /> scattered around the mowed yard in Lot 5, and garlic mustard is present along tlze south tip of <br /> Wetlai�d 1. A vegctation management pian for the iuvasive species observed onsite follows this <br /> section. <br /> Svoboda EcologicaF Resourccs 3 2IX?&350 3tubbs Bay Rd <br /> Project Number:20I4-037 pm�,� <br />
