8 <br /> <br />A 15 foot wide landscape buffer has been provided along CSAH 14 (Main Street) outside of the <br />existing 100 foot wide private utility easement and is contained in an outlot that will owned and <br />maintained by a homeowner’s association (HOA). A 6 foot high privacy fence is proposed <br />along Lot 1, Block 7 that will provide screening along CSAH 14. Shrubs and plantings are <br />provided along the exterior side of the fence. <br /> <br />Landscaping shall be allowed in the drainage and utility easements covering the 15 foot wide <br />landscape buffer area in Outlot E and Outlot F. <br /> <br />Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) <br /> <br />As previously noted, in 2006 a mandatory Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was <br />prepared for the original Nature’s Refuge concept because the proposed 278 housing units <br />exceeded the 250 housing unit threshold. The EAW thoroughly analyzed potential impacts to <br />wetlands, rare plant and animal species, floodplain, water quality, noise, traffic and archeology. <br />It was determined the project did not have the potential for significant environmental effects <br />and the Council passed Resolution No. 07-06 making a Negative Declaration on the Need for <br />an EIS. <br /> <br />The scope and size of the current proposed Nature’s Refuge (61 housing units on 95 gross <br />acres) is much smaller than the original 2006 proposal (278 housing units on 232 gross acres). <br />An EAW is not required for the current proposed Nature’s Refuge because the 62 housing units <br />do not exceed the 250 housing unit threshold. <br /> <br />Traffic Study <br /> <br />The Traffic Study prepared by Spack Consulting on June 4, 2018 based was reviewed during <br />the PUD Development Stage Plan/Preliminary Plat process. The development is forecasted to <br />generate approximately 565 new trips per day with 45 new trips in the a.m. peak hour and 60 <br />trips in the p.m. peak hour. Per the traffic study, the existing LOS is C and the 2021 Build LOS <br />is C. The proposed development meets the subdivision ordinance requirements. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />A WCA Notice of Decision for the wetland boundary delineation was approved by RCWD on <br />June 16, 2016. Seven (7) wetlands were delineated on site totaling 41.66 acres. ACD 32 is not <br />classified as a wetland. <br /> <br />A revised WCA Permit Application for wetland sequencing and mitigation was prepared by <br />Kjolhaug Environmental Services on April 5, 2019. The project area is located within in the <br />RCWD Lino Lakes Comprehensive Wetland Protection and Management Plan (CWPMP) area. <br />The intent of the CWPMP is to preserve/enhance high-priority wetlands/wetland corridors. Six <br />(6) of the 7 wetlands are in the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). The exception is <br />Wetland 1. Wetland buffer easements covering 14.73 upland acres will protect the WMC. <br />Wetland impacts will be mitigated through the purchase of wetland bank credits. <br /> <br />In summary, post-development wetland hydrological regime is equal to predevelopment <br />conditions, wetland water quality is higher overall than pre-development conditions, and
