Provision of a flowage and conservation easement and restrictive covenant over the wetlands and <br /> wetland buffers. <br /> <br />2. Provision of a $6,000 escrow and an escrow agreement to guarantee establishment of the buffers. <br /> <br />3. Issuance of a permit or conditional approval of a permit by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed <br /> District. <br /> <br />The application has been revised since the Planning Commission meeting and the applicant is now <br />proposing to reduce the size of the mitigation area west of Old Long Lake Road and add a third mitigation <br />area on the east side of the course adjacent to a wetland area at 75 Ferndale Green. <br /> <br />The change in the mitigation areas is acceptable to John Smyth of Bonestroo, the City’s wetland <br />consultant. The mitigation area shown on the plans was not quite large enough. The applicant’s engineer <br />has revised the plan, to provide the correct amount of mitigation. This plan is attached to the revised <br />resolution. The additional mitigation area will not be directly visible from any residence on Ferndale <br />Green. A condition of the MCWD permit is a protective covenant and easement. <br /> <br />Murphy asked what the status of the application is with the Watershed District. <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 02/23/09 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 02/09/09 <br />[Page 2 of 6]
