Evironmental Board <br />Febuary 24, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />There was no one present for Open Mike. <br />Mr. Heiskary made a MOTION to close Open Mike at 6:36p.m. <br />V. ACTION ITEMS <br />A. Rice Lake Elementary Addition — 575 Birch Street/Conditional Use Permit/Site <br />Plan <br />Mr. Asleson presented a condition use permit for a proposed 17,064 square foot addition <br />on the southeast corner of the existing building for early childhood education. <br />poo <br />Since the proposed addition is simply adding on to an existing building, and it is <br />preexisting CUP, it maintains the performance standards for Natural Resources <br />Management System Plan as it existed in 1997. There are exceptions. New surface <br />water management rules require providing treatment for the 1.1 inch rainfall event on <br />impervious surfaces. Maintenance agreements for surface water pond/infiltration areas <br />constructed, and tree replacement requirements. <br />The School is proposing to provide treatment for surface water by expanding the rain <br />garden area to the west. And a joint stormwater maintenance agreement must be executed <br />by the Rice Creek Watershed and the City of Lino Lakes for the rain garden/infiltration <br />pond. Informational signage should be provided around the pond. <br />The school district still has to get permits from the Rice Creek Watershed but would like <br />to start the addition this summer. <br />Site-Plan/Landscaping <br />The detail sheets for the proposed school addition show the following: <br />1. Sod is proposed for the pervious area groundcover around the building. <br />Recommendation; the sod area must be irrigated. <br />2. There are 7 trees proposed for removal. Recommendation; replace these trees <br />with a species of tree acceptable to the city. Suggested new tree planting site in <br />the green area to the South and East of the site. <br />3. Planting materials proposed for the expanded infiltration pond are appropriate for <br />the site. Recommendation; approve planting plan for the pond with <br />Environmental Board changes if desired. <br />Mr. Schwartz was wondering if the lights are International Dark -Sky Association <br />approved. <br />Mr. Asleson said yes the lights are all down lights. <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />
