, <br /> C <br /> v <br /> ' Memo <br /> ${�n� �Bonestroo <br /> To: Darren Amundsen From: John Smyth <br /> File: 139-11000 Date: September 16, 2011 <br /> Reference: Wetland Code Review—400 Willow Drive South - <br /> The proposed subdivision triggers the requirements of the City Wetland Code. The wetland delineation indicates three wetlands <br /> are located within the property and are labeled Wetland A, B and C. Wetland A (east side of lot) is classified as a Preserve and <br /> requires a 50 foot buffer, Wetland B (west side, south of driveway) is classified as a Manage 2 and requires a 25 foot buffer <br /> and Wetland C (west side, north of driveway) is not classified on the Lity Map. Wetland C will need to have a MNRAM <br /> completed to determine the appropriate wetland classification and buffer width. All other wetland buffers are accurately depicted <br /> . on the Certificate of Survey and Preliminary Plat, <br /> Wetland fill impacts are proposed to Wetland B and Wetland C for the access road. The wetland delineation is currently out for <br /> review and no permit hu been reviewed and approved by the Minnehaha freek Watershed. The fill proposed in the wetlands <br /> will require a Wetland fanservation Act Permit from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as will as review by the Planning <br /> Commission and approval by the City touncil. Wetland and wetland buffer mitigation would be required as part of a permit <br /> submittal for approval. � <br /> Buffer Yeget�tion �equirement� <br /> Bued on the review of the wetland delineation report and discussions with the delineation consultant for the applicant the <br /> buffers are undisturbed grassland and woodland. We will review the buffers in the field to determine if any vegetation <br /> maintenance to remove invasive species is necessary. <br /> Wetland Buffer Markers <br /> Wetland Buffer Markers will be required at leut every 200 feet and there praposed locations should be shown on future <br /> submittals for City Approval. Signage is available from the City and will be sold to the landowner. <br /> Recommendations <br /> It is recommended not to grant final plat approval until the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has approved the wetland <br /> delineation and proposed wetland fill. An escrow will be determined once the buffer vegetation is reviewed and approvals are <br /> received by the watershed. <br /> STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC. <br /> One Team.lnfinite Solutions. <br /> 0 k:\13911391100001communicationslwetland ordinance compliance�400 willow driveUnem.docx <br />
