Memo <br /> $�nt�C �Bonestroo <br /> To: Darren Amundsen From: John Smyth . <br /> . File: 139-11000 Date: January 9, 2012 <br /> Reference: 4550 Wolverton Place Wetiand Code Review <br /> The proposed lot split triggers the wetland code. There is one jurisdictional wetland <br /> located on north end of Tract A. The wetland is classified as a Manage 2 and requires <br /> a 25 foot buffer. The other wetland adjacent to Wolverton Road was determined to be <br /> formed due to the road blocking the drainage and is considered non jurisdictional under <br /> the Wetland Conservation Act and will not be subject to the requirements of this code. <br /> � Survey Requirements � <br /> The location of the buffer is adequately shown on the certificate of sunrey. <br /> ' Buffer Vegetation Requirements <br /> The existing herbaceous vegetation within the buffer meets the requirements of the <br /> wetland code and it appears that there is an adequate width of native vegetation prior to <br /> the turf. It is recommended that the upslope edge of the buffer is marked by signs so <br /> that it is not mowed by a future landowner and to confirm that no turf exists within the <br /> buffer. If turf extends into the buffer it will need to be removed and replaced with native <br /> vegetation. Per the report from Jacobson there is buckthorn adjacent to the wetland - <br /> within the buffer. <br /> The applicant will need to provide a Vegetative Management/Landscaping plan for the <br /> buffers that includes the following: <br /> 1. Method proposed to be used to control buckthorn and turF(if found within the <br /> buffer). <br /> � <br /> 2. Method of establishing native vegetation in buffer for areas with turf should be <br /> provided (site prep, seeding method, etc.). (MN BWSR Web Site —Publication: <br /> "Restoring & Managing Native Wetland and Upland Vegetation" source for <br /> options). <br /> 3. Species proposed to be seeded or planted. According to the ordinance Div. 3 <br /> Sec. 78-1605 (3)the seed mix must contain at least 12 pounds (PLS) per acre <br /> of native prairie grass seed and 5 pounds (PLS) per acre of native wildflower <br /> One Team.lnfinite Solutions. <br /> js k:\139\1391100001communlcations\wetland ordinance compllancek1550 wolverton placeys darten^4550 wolverton place final^t-9-11.docx <br />
