The site is within the revised 2020 I-35E Corridor AUAR environmental review <br />boundary. The project is consistent with Land Use Scenario 1 and 2 for medium density <br />residential development. No further environmental review is required. <br />Wetlands <br />A wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services on <br />December 3, 2013 for the entire NorthPointe development. A WCA Notice of Decision <br />(NOD) was issued by RCWD on April 11, 2014. The NOD is only valid for 5 years so a <br />new wetland delineation report was completed by Kjolhaug on September 8, 2021 for the <br />one (1) existing wetland on the senior housing building site. A new WCA NOD <br />approving the wetland delineation was issued by RCWD on October 21, 2021. <br />One 0.085 acre wetland area was delineated on the south end the site. The wetland is a <br />Type 3/2 (PEMC/A) shallow marsh and wet meadow wetland. The wetland area (0.085 <br />acre) is slightly smaller than the original approved wetland area (0.12 acre). <br />No impacts to this wetland are proposed. <br />The wetland is part of the Wetland Management Corridor and a conservation easement <br />currently exists over the wetland as part of the original NorthPointe development. The <br />easement area may be amended to allow for design of the parking lot with approval from <br />RCWD. The total area of the easement would remain the same. <br />A minimum 10 ft wide drainage and utility easement is required and is provided above <br />the delineated wetland. <br />Shoreland District <br />The site is not within a Shoreland District. <br />Floodplain <br />The 2015 FEMA floodplain map indicates Zone A floodplain along the west edge of the <br />site. However, a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) was obtained on December 21, 2016 <br />for the entire NorthPointe development. The floodplain boundary was revised and is no <br />longer on the site. <br />Noise Study <br />A Traffic Noise Assessment for NorthPointe Garden Estates was completed on January 5, <br />2022 by David Braslau Associates, Inc. The report evaluated I-35E noise compared to <br />daytime and nighttime noise standards. Noise standards are met under the following <br />conditions: <br />16 <br />
