Wetland present on the Wachman Parcel is part <br /> of a larger PEMAd/PEMCd wetland complex that continues to the southeast and eventually <br /> connects (approximately 0.25 miles distance)to the North Arm of Lake Minnetonka shoreland <br /> system. <br /> Previously,wetland analyses performed for wetlands abutting shoreland have rated as Preserve <br /> due to the shoreline protection function, However,wetland present on the Wachman parcel does <br /> not provide shoreline protection. <br /> Wetland 1 was previously described as a Type 4 (PUBGx/PEMA) excavated, open water and <br /> fresh(wet)meadow wetland complex(Wachman Parcel Wetland Delineation Report dated <br /> October 22, 2012). At the time of the delineation,the PUBGx portion of the wetland was un- <br /> vegetated and dry. The center of the basin was an upland knoll dominated by a canopy of <br /> boxelder. For the purposes of the delineation it was included within the wetland boundary. <br /> Fresh(wet) meadow was dominated by reed canary grass with lesser amounts of giant goldenrod <br /> ' and Canada thistle. Other non-dominant vegetation observed included: garlic mustard, asters, <br /> blue vervain, sedge,black willow, boxelder, and American elm. In addition to the excavated <br /> basin, an excavated ditch connected the basin to the east property line. <br /> MNRAM Analvsis � <br /> A MNRAM version 3.4 functional analysis was completed for Wetland 1 on the Wachman <br /> Parcel to assess appropriate wetland functions and management class based on current, on-site <br /> observations. A MNRAM output summary and input data are included in Appendix A,and <br /> results are summarized in Table 1 below. <br /> 26105 Wild Rose Lane, Shorewood, Minnesota 55331, Phone:952-401-8757, Fax:952-401-8798 <br />
