It would be preferred that the buffer <br /> remain connected directly to the wetland as it provides benefits beyond the filtration (specifically to wildlife).Any fence <br /> located within the wetland however would need to be mitigated for, consistent with WCA regulation. It does not provide <br /> the same opportunity that boardwalks do in allowing vegetation to grow naturally. <br /> The recorded declaration is not specific in the plants, however since this is a violation we would require a native seed <br /> mix/plantings to be included.The current wetland rule does require disturbed areas to be planted and monitored, but <br /> for areas left alone,the existing vegetation can grow naturally. We would consider this to be disturbed. <br /> The cost share funds would not be eligible for the disturbed wetland and buffer, but I did offer that if there is interest to <br /> incorporate a raingarden or native plantings upgradient to the east,they should get in touch with us.This may result in a <br /> slight reduction of water that ends up in their back corner and would not alter the size or type of the existing wetland <br /> (provided they size the raingarden appropriately. <br /> Let me know if there are any other questions.The recorded declaration is attached. My apologies for not sending this <br /> over sooner. <br /> Steve Christopher <br /> Regulatory Program Manager <br /> 18202 Minnetonka Blvd. <br /> Deephaven, MN 55391 <br /> Direct: 952-641-4506 <br /> Office: 952-471-0590 <br /> Fax: 952-471-0682 <br /> www.minnehahacreek.or� <br /> .,�; <br /> _� <br /> MINNEHAHA CREElC <br /> wwTERSMED p�5TR1CT <br /> From: Melanie Curtis [mailto:MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us] <br /> Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 2:10 PM <br /> To: Steve Christopher <br /> Cc: ]esse Struve <br /> Subject: questions re: 2755 Deer Run <br /> H i Steve <br /> i <br />
