The site is within the revised 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review boundary. The project is consistent with Land Use Scenario 1 and 2 for medium density residential development. No further environmental review is required. Wetlands A wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on December 3, 2013 for the entire NorthPointe development. A WCA Notice of Decision (NOD) was issued by RCWD on April 11, 2014. The NOD is only valid for 5 years so a new wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug on September 8, 2021 for the one (1) existing wetland on the senior housing building site. A new WCA NOD approving the wetland delineation was issued by RCWD on October 21, 2021. One 0.085 acre wetland area was delineated on the south end the site. The wetland is a Type 3/2 (PEMC/A) shallow marsh and wet meadow wetland. The wetland area (0.085 acre) is slightly smaller than the original approved wetland area (0.12 acre). No impacts to this wetland are proposed. The wetland is part of the Wetland Management Corridor and a conservation easement currently exists over the wetland as part of the original NorthPointe development. The easement area may be amended to allow for design of the parking lot with approval from RCWD. The total area of the easement would remain the same. A minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easement is required and is provided above the delineated wetland. Shoreland District The site is not within a Shoreland District. Floodplain The 2015 FEMA floodplain map indicates Zone A floodplain along the west edge of the site. However, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) was obtained on December 21, 2016 for the entire NorthPointe development. The floodplain boundary was revised and is no longer on the site.
