2. RnraI Oasis Study <br /> The subject parcel is not ad.jacent to any of the documented corridors in�e Rural Oasis <br /> Study. The views of the agproximately Q.15 mile stretch of Shoreline Drive are entirely <br /> of Lake Minnetonka on the south side of the road. North of Shoreline Drive and looking <br /> onta the subject parcel from Shoreline Drive a wetland and trceline are prominent <br /> features, with no negative views save for the gated access to 1700 Shoreline Drive, <br /> powerlines overhead, and boat docks visible along the edge of Lake Minnetonka (Photos <br /> 12 and 13). The subject parcel is also visible from the Dakota Line bike brail. From this <br /> angle, only positive views from the msple-basswood forest can be seen{Photo 4). <br /> In general, there appear to be a.imost entirely positive views fi-om Shoreline Thive, with <br /> the wetland and tree�ines obscuring the negative views, and the open water of Lake <br /> Minnetonlca providing a Iarge, 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.Natural Resource Inventary <br /> a. After reviewing the iVII.CCS data on Map 3A-4 of the Orono Environmental Protec�ion <br /> Plan it appears that Artifcial Surfaces and Associated Areas (1000(}), planted or <br /> cultivated vegetation (20000) forests {30000), aad Herbaceous Vegetation (60000) areas <br /> are present on the proposed Iats on I700 Shoreline Drive. 'Viore specifically, the site is <br /> listed with areas of Short Grasses and Mixed Trees with 26-54% itnpervious cover <br /> {13134), short grasses with sparse tree cover on upland soils (23111), short grasses on <br /> upland soi�s (23211), maple basswood farest (32150), medium-tall altered/non-native <br /> dominated grassland {61220), and semi permanently flo4ded altered/non-native <br /> dominated vegetation{61634). <br /> b. A tree survey was not required as part of this Conservation Design. A tree survey was <br /> comple�ed for the azea to be unpacted by the cul-de-sac. Here all significant trees were <br /> identi.fied to species, size, and location. A figure is included that shows the tree species <br /> present and dia.meters. <br /> a A wetland delineation and report was completed for the subject parcel. Five wetlands <br /> were identifie�l in this report as on the subject property while one additional wetland was <br /> outside of the parcel boundary and located within the Heritage Lane easement extension. <br /> Wetland 1 is listed as a Type 3/4, PEM, Shallow/Deep Marsh, Wetland 2 is a Type 1, <br /> PFO1, seasanally flooded basin,Wetland 3 is a Type 3, PEM1F, shallow marsh, Wetlan.d <br /> 4 is a Type 1, PFO1, seasonally flooded basin, Wetland S is a Type 1, PEM1F, <br /> Shallow/Deep IViarsh and Wetland 6 is Type 2/3 PEMC/F shallow marsh/fresh wet <br /> meadow. The wetland boundary was field reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br /> District on 7/28/2015. The Notice of Decisioa was issued on August 12,2015. The report <br /> is available from Svoboda Ecalogical Resources(SER)upon request. <br /> d The topography of the subject p�cel was campieted by Gronberg & Associates, Inc. <br /> and is depicted on the attached survey map. <br /> � The subject parcel was identified as a conceptual greenway corridor on Map 3A-5 and <br /> has a high quality communiry onsite in the form of the ma�le-basswood forest present. <br /> Due to this high quality community, management and protection will occur in the forn�s <br /> Svoboda Ecalogical Resourccs 2 1700 Shoreline Drive <br /> Project No.:2015-004 Irwin Jacobs <br />
