5A k. <br /> autumn through early spring.The trees Impacted will be replaced at the required ratio per the applicable <br /> Orono city code regarding tree replacement. <br /> Significant Tree Stand Criteria <br /> There is one area within the project area that meet the criteria for significant tree stands by occupying <br /> over 500 or more square feet with contiguous crown cover and diameters (DBH) over 6 inches. Area 1 <br /> is located In the middle of the property along the north property line. This significant tree stand meets <br /> the criteria listed above, and is dominated by basswood, oaks, and green ash, with prickly ash and <br /> boxelder in the understory. No construction is proposed within or near this area, therefore the trees will <br /> not be Impacted. <br /> Wetland Impacts <br /> One wetland edge was delineated in 2011 along Lake Minnetonka. Proposed structures or construction <br /> is not anticipated to disturb the wetland edge or occur within any wetland setbacks. Buffers and setbacks <br /> will assist In maintaining the quality and functionality of the wetlands by providing additional surface <br /> water treatment. <br /> Ecological Communities <br /> Ecological communities on site are of low quality (described in 3a). The development of this parcel is <br /> not expected to further degrade the ecological communities on site. <br /> The ecological communities on site are not expected to be changed or segregated by the division of the <br /> legal property boundary and the addition of homes. The highest ecological area Is the wetland edge of <br /> Lake Minnetonka. Because this area is not being developed or altered, current ecological connections <br /> should remain unaffected. <br /> Defining maintenance of ecological connections does not apply to this project because we cannot define <br /> anything that would prompt a change to maintenance connections. <br /> Positive Views for Proposed Site Layout <br /> Positive views will remain on site because the proposed site layout will not interfere with the trees that <br /> surround the subject property. This will maintain positive views from public points of view, and positive <br /> views from potential homeowners on the proposed properties. Landscape design will enhance the views <br /> itzeltaiiitiMILIA-4-J, 6`,- ''*111.111.1111.11111111116 <br /> Franzel Addition <br /> 800 North Arm Drive, Orono, MN Page <br />
