Remarks:
The proposed building project at 1140 Townline Road includes construction of a home, garage,
shed, and septic system. The submitted building plans indicate that one wetland has been
delineated on the property-a manage 2 wetland which requires a 25 foot buffer.
Based on the building plans the wetland and its buffer should not be negatively impacted by
construction activities. All construction is proposed to take place well out side of the wetland
buffer and its setback.
Silt fences have already been put into place and should remain in place until all construction
activities have been completed.
A field check of the existing wetland buffer was also completed. The dominate plant species in
the wetland buffer is reed canary grass (an undesirable species), but there are several
desirable native wetland plant species interspersed throughout the wetland and its buffer
(tussock sedge, lake sedge, blue vervain, and giant goldenrod).
Because wetland buffers containing reed canary grass and large amounts of Canada thistle are
considered to be unacceptable per Div 3. Sec 78-1605 B(2) reed canary grass and Canada
thistle must be removed from the buffer(using an appropriate herbicide by certified applicators)
and replaced with an approved native seed mix. The seed mix must include 12 lbs per acre of
native grass seed and 5 lbs per acre of native wildflower seed. The mix must contain no fewer
than 4 native grass species and 5 native wildflower species. The planned seed mix must be
submitted to the city prior to planting for approval.
To ensure all interested persons are aware of the wetland buffer boundary, the area should be
staked and marked on the property-this will ensure the buffer remains in tact and undisturbed
(this includes mowing). The builder should also submit an electronic CAD file to the city in
county coordinates which outlines the buildings,the wetland, and the wetland buffer.
To allow for follow up compliance checks, we recommend the city take a letter of escrow in the
amount of$720.00.
If there area any additional questions, please contact Amy at 651.604.4757.

Subject: Another Wetland Buffer
We need another wetland checked for the condition of the buffer. It's a new house at
1140 Town Line Road. I'm going to give Tom Kellogg a copy of the survey at the
Council meeting this evening so he can review the grading plan. Let me know if you
would rather pick up a copy here. (This lot was just created by platting 1100 Town
Line Road into two lots.)
