Environmental <br />Memo <br />To: Katie Larsen <br />From: Marty Asleson <br />Date: August 4, 2016 <br />Re: Environmental Board Recommendations for Chavez Development <br />The following recommendations were made by the Environmental Board on July 27. 2016 for <br />Chavez Preserve: <br />• Proof that water leaving the site on the north side will not create wetter conditions <br />for residents down -stream. <br />• The south side has a rain garden designed into it. This rain garden is for rate control <br />only. Environmental Board recommends they move this rain garden between the two <br />ponds on the north. <br />• Proposed ponds on the site will be designed into the water table. A clay liner should be <br />used to prevent surface water contamination to the ground water. <br />• Escrow enough money to plant one boulevard tree per frontage. <br />• The native seed area seed must be applied by a contractor approved by the city that is <br />knowledgeable in the cultural practices of native plants. A three year maintenance <br />plan must be submitted for the native seed area. The plan must be approved by the <br />City. A contractor that is knowledgeable in the cultural practices for native seeded <br />areas must be used and approved by the city. <br />• Trees planted in the native seed areas must be fire tolerant. Burr Oak.. and Swamp <br />White Oak should be used. <br />• Page 1 <br />
