5 <br /> <br />Tree Preservation <br /> <br />The goal of tree preservation is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity and forest <br />resource and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. The Grading, <br />Drainage & Utility Plan, Sheet 2 identifies the basic use area (BUA), tree protection area and tree <br />removal. The BUA is not located within any environmentally sensitive areas (ESA). Currently, <br />there are 16 trees proposed for removal. Since these trees are located within the BUA and are <br />outside of the ESA, no tree mitigation is required. <br /> <br />Landscaping <br /> <br />No boulevard trees or open space landscaping are required <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />A Wetland Delineation Report was prepared by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company, <br />Inc. on September 20, 2016. A WCA Notice of Decision for Application Number 16-121R was <br />issued by RCWD on October 4, 2016. <br /> <br />The site is located within in the RCWD Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). A <br />Conservation Easement and WMC Buffer Declaration covering an average 50 foot wide wetland <br />buffer along the north wetland will be recorded. <br /> <br />Floodplain <br /> <br />The DFIRM indicates a Zone AE floodplain along the northern portion of the subject site with a <br />base flood elevation of 887. There are no floodplain impacts proposed. <br /> <br />Shoreland Management Overlay <br /> <br />The site is located in a Shoreland Management Overlay district. Baldwin Lake is a classified as a <br />Recreational Lake and has an 883.1 OWHL elevation. A setback of 150 feet from the OHWL is <br />required for all primary and accessory structures. Impervious surface coverage of 30% applies to <br />all lots within the overlay district. <br /> <br />The 150 foot setback from the OHWL does not encroach onto Lot 1 or Lot 2 of the proposed <br />development so is not an issue. Impervious surface coverage will be reviewed with the building <br />permit but given the large size parcels, impervious coverage should not be an issue. <br /> <br />Development Agreement <br /> <br />A Development Agreement has been drafted by the City and shall be executed by the City and <br />the developer and recorded by the developer. <br /> <br /> <br />
