AGENDA ITEM 4 C <br /> l <br /> May 9, 1990 <br /> Mr. Steven Johnston <br /> Merila & Associates_. Inc. <br /> 8401 - 73rd Avenue North <br /> Brooklyn Park, MN 55428 STS Project 94951-A - <br /> Re: Brandywood Estates Park Addition - <br /> Dear Mr. Johnston: <br /> STS Consultants, Ltd. has completed a field reconnaissance of the proposed Brandywood <br /> Estates Park Addition, as requested by you. The location of the proposed park addition is <br /> outlined on the enclosed copy of an aerial map of the area. The objective of the field <br /> reconnaissance was to determine the approximate size and location of wetlands_ if present <br /> on the parcel. Indicators of surface water hydrology, soil types, and vegetation types <br /> present were evaluated to determine if wetland conditions were present on the site_ <br /> evidence of jurisdictional wetland conditions were identified at the site. Facultative <br /> �.etland species and evidence of limited spring flooding were found, but hydrological con- <br /> ditions are insufficient to support a functional wetland. The extent of the area prone to <br /> brief flooding events is limited to an area of approximately 25 feet in radius, centered <br /> approximately 100 feet west of the eastern boundary and 25 feet north of the southern <br /> boundary. The area prone to flooding is labeled as "seasonally moist" on the enclosed area <br /> map. Generally, the gradual slope and poorly drained soils of the site allow water to <br /> run-off from the site onto the property adjoining to the north, named the Brandywood <br /> Estates Housing Development_ <br /> Based upon the site conditions observed at the time of the field reconnaissance, we con- <br /> clude that wetland conditions are not present at the site. <br /> Thank you for the opportunity to assist you on this project.
