Public Land Dedication Park land dedication and/or fees are not required. This is an existing lot of record and not being subdivided. Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) The site is within the 2005 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The AUAR was updated in May 2020. The AUAR identified this site as industrial in all 3 land use scenarios. The LTC campus expansion project is consistent with industrial development. No further environmental assessment is required. Wetlands A Wetland Delineation Report was prepared by Barr Engineering dated August 14, 2019. A WCA Notice of Decision for the wetland delineation was issued by RCWD on October 8, 2019. Three (3) wetlands were delineated within the site totaling 7.52 acres. The majority of the wetlands are located in the northeast corner of the site and the southern half of the site. Five (5) other areas on site have wetland characteristics but were known to have been created during the 1998 and 1999 permitting and approvals process for a building expansion project. A joint application has been submitted to RCWD and USACE to request approval of these areas as incidental wetlands and not regulated under Mn WCA. The only wetland impacts proposed are within the incidental wetlands and therefore, no mitigation is required. The wetlands are within the Wetland Management Corridor and conservation easement and wetland buffers are required. The applicant proposes a 25 foot buffer. This will be reviewed and approved by RCWD. As part of the 1999 building expansion project, a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants (DORC) was recorded over the wetlands. This is shown on the survey. A separate public drainage and utility easement covering the delineated wetland, conservation easement and WMC buffer shall be drafted and recorded against the property. Shoreland District The parcel is not located within the Shoreland District. Floodplain There are no floodplains located on site. E
