Ramsey - Washington Metro <br />July 31, 2007 <br />Mr. Joel Hanson <br />City of Little Canada Administrator <br />515 Little Canada Road <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 <br />District <br />RE: Wetland Determination for LaBore Road Area <br />Dear Joel, <br />At your request and Board approval, we conducted a field determination of the wetlands present within the <br />bounds of LaBore Road and Arcade Street on the west, County Road D on the north, Walter Street/Kohlman <br />Lake on the east and Gervais Lake on the south. <br />We used in our aid the prior delineations that were done for the Scully, Johnson and Lauren Development <br />properties. We made use of our GPS unit in the field to mark the boundaries as we walked the wetland edge. <br />As you can see on the attached maps, the approximate wetland boundary that we determined in the field varies <br />from the previous wetland shapes that were delineated from aerial photo interpretation. We feel this recent <br />determination is a more accurate representation of the actual conditions in the field. With that said, the attached <br />map is still an approximation that may vary by ten feet. <br />The maps also indicate where the corresponding wetland buffer requirement is in relation to the wetlands. The <br />Manage A wetlands require a 75 foot average no disturb buffer with a minimum of 37.5 feet in all locations and <br />the Manage B wetlands require a 50 foot average with a minimum of 25 feet. One caution we have is that the <br />two westerly Manage B wetlands require individual MnRAM assessments be done on them as they were <br />originally considered part of a larger wetland complex. Their classifications may change after that assessment <br />is done. We will notify you of any changes in the classification of those two basins. <br />We hope this information is useful in assisting the City in planning for potential development of this area. If <br />you need any additional information or would like the map in a different format please let us know. <br />Sincerely, <br />Tina Carstens <br />Permit Program Coordinator <br />Vi'7 ✓r�/ <br />Julie Vigness -Pint <br />District Technician <br />
