The applicant has proposed to the <br /> MCWD that he will convert a 3' wide area along the west property boundary from gravel <br /> to Minnesota wild grasses and will install a rock drain with a skimming structure(PIG) for <br /> the proposed equipment wash site as BMPs. <br /> Curtis stated that staff performed a site visit with Hennepin County Environmental <br /> Services staff and addressed the issues Planning Commission brought up during the work <br /> session.
