Enivornmental Board <br />February 6, 2019 <br />Page 3 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br />Investigate whether pond should be lined. <br /> <br />Soils <br /> <br />Sandy site soil that are layered with silt formations are present on the site. <br /> <br />Floodplain <br /> <br />There is no floodplain on the site. <br /> <br />Wellhead Protection and Drinking Water Service Management <br /> <br />This site is not in a Drinking Water Service Management Area. <br /> <br />Landscape Plan <br /> <br />Boulevard trees are required and escrow money must be obtained for these trees. <br />Ms. Klebba mentioned the species of trees that are considered, are more related to <br />maintaining native bird habitat <br /> <br />A buffer and screening plan would need to be submitted for the NE corner area, and <br />between the individual townhomes and the property. The west side of the project has <br />a 50-foot buffer that will be tree-protected, and plantngs in the pond to afford <br />screening. <br /> <br />Native seed in weland, sod in the development. Ms. Kaufenberg asked to consider <br />native seed in other areas as well. <br /> <br />The banks and perimeter of the pond is proposed to be seeded with a prairie pond <br />high growth plant mix. <br /> <br />Recommendations- lower growth planting with more flowers around perimeter of <br />pond. <br /> <br />The developer intends to irrigate with stormwater so reuse of stormwater in the <br />native areas would be ok once they get established. Also of the sod areas if planted <br />with a fescue type of low maintenance sod, it may not need any irrigation after <br />established. <br /> <br />All trees planted on the eastern site boundary must be in compliance with the pole <br />energy company’s policy for tree clearance distances at tree mature heights. <br /> <br />The developers have considered the Environmental Board June 21 st recommendation <br />of a community garden and has positioned one in the NW corner of the project. <br />
