r � <br /> 2. Rural Qasis Study <br /> The subject parcel is not adjacent to any of the documented conidors in the Rural Oasis <br /> Study. The views of the approxirnately 0.�5 mile stretch of Shoreline Drive is entirely of <br /> Lake Minnetonka on the south side of the road. North of Shoreline Drive and looking <br /> onto the subject parcel is a wetland and treeline, with no negative views save for the <br /> gated access ta 1700 Shoreline drive, powerlines overhead, and boat docks visible along <br /> the edge of Lake Minnetonka (Photos 12 and 13). The subject parcel is aiso visible from <br /> the Dakota Line bike trail. From this angle, anly positive views from the mapie-basswood <br /> forest can be seen(Photo 4). <br /> In general, there appears to be almost entirely positive views from Shoreiine Drive, with <br /> the wetland and treelines obscuring the negative views, and the open water of Lake <br /> Minnetonka providing a large, positive view on the south side of the road (Photo 11-14). <br /> Please see the Photo Log at the end of this checklist. <br /> 3. Naturnl Resource Inventory <br /> a. After reviewing the MLCCS data on Map 3A-4 of the Orono Environmental Protection <br /> Pian it appeazs that Artificial Surfaces and Associated Areas (10000), planted or <br /> cultivated vegetation {20000) forests (30000), and Herhaceous Vegetation (6Q000) areas <br /> are present on the proposed lots on 1700 Shoreline Drive. More specif cally, the site is <br /> listed with areas af Short Grasses and Mixed Trees with 26-50% impervious cover <br /> (13134), short grasses with sparse tree cover on upland soils (23111}, short grasses on <br /> upland soils (23211), maple basswood forest (32150), mediutn-tall altered/non-native <br /> dominated grassland (61220), and semi permanently flooded altered/non-native <br /> dominated vegetation{61630). <br /> b. A tree survey was not required as part of this Conservation Design. A tree survey was <br /> completed for the area to be impacted by the cul-de-sac. Here aIl significant trees were <br /> identified to species, size, and location. <br /> c. A wetland delineation and report was completed for the subject parcel. Fovr wetlands <br /> were identif ed in this report as on the subject property while one additional wetland was <br /> outside of the parcel boundary and lacated within the Heritage Lane easement e3ctension. <br /> Wetland 1 is listed as a Type 3/4, PEM, Shallow/Deep Marsh, Watland 2 is a Type l, <br /> FFO1, seasanally flooded basin, Wetland 3 is a Type 3, PEM1F, shallaw marsh, Wetland <br /> 4 is a Type 1, PFO1, seasona�ly flooded basin, Wetland 5 is a Type 1, PEM1F, <br /> Shallow/Deep Mazsh and Wetland 6 is Type 2/3 PEMC/F shaliow marsh/fresh wet <br /> meadow. The wetland boundary is scheduled for field review by the Minnehaha Creek <br /> Watershed District on 5/23/2015. The report is available from Svoboda.
