Environmental Review Record <br />The proposed development may require a Mandatory Environmental Assessment <br />Worksheet (EAW). The residential unit analysis must be conducted on all contiguous <br />land the developer owns which includes the North Oaks Company property to the west of <br />the project site. <br />The applicant shall confirm with the Minnesota Environmental Quality Board if an EAW <br />is required. <br />Wetlands <br />The concept plan indicates wetlands along Lake Wilkinson. Wetland delineations have <br />been completed and approved by VLAWMO. The wetland delineation report and <br />VLAWMO approval shall be required with the PUD Development Stage <br />Plan/Preliminary Plat. Conservation easements 50 feet from the delineated boundary <br />shall be required for wetland buffer. <br />Floodplain <br />The 1982 FEMA Flood Insurance Rating Map (FIRM) was updated in December 2015. <br />The 2015 DFIRM indicates Zone A flood plain on the subject property. A Base Flood <br />Elevation is required to be determined, using detailed methods acceptable by the Federal <br />Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). This will be used in setting the low floor <br />elevations. A FEMA Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) is required for this site. It is <br />highly recommended that the LOMR process be started immediately with a Conditional <br />Letter of Map Revision application. <br />Shoreland District <br />The subject property is located within the Shoreland Management Overlay District of <br />Wilkinson Lake and Amelia Lake. Both lakes have been established as natural <br />environment lakes by the DNR. The proposed development provides a transition from <br />lower density (single family lots) along Wilkinson Lake and the wetlands to higher <br />densities along CSAH 21 (twin homes and townhouse). The regulations of the shoreland <br />district (Chapter 1102) shall apply to the entire development. The specific regulations of <br />the PUD shoreland district (Section 1102.13) shall apply to the twin home and townhome <br />development. <br />Growth Management Policy <br />Per the Comprehensive Plan (page 3-27), an annual average of 230 units per year over <br />each 5 year phasing period not to exceed 345 units in any 1 year is allowed. At the end <br />of the 5 year phasing period unallocated units will be averaged out over the next 5 years. <br />A phasing plan shall be required to insure consistency with this requirement. <br />13 <br />
