Ile <br />CITY OF <br />LQ� KES <br />To: Katie Larsen <br />From: Andy Nelson <br />Environmental Memo <br />Date: 5/04/2022 <br />Re: Environmental Comments/May 4th, 2022/Otter Lake Animal Care Center <br />The Environmental Board had the following comments at the May 4th, 2022 meeting: <br />1. Plants requiring full sun should not be planted beneath tree canopy. All shrubs <br />shall be moved to locations not beneath tree canopy. This pertains to shrubs near <br />the west building face and shrubs just southeast of the stormwater pond. <br />2. 4 large shrubs will be required to meet open space requirements. Alternatively, <br />the dogwoods could be swapped to a species of large shrub (mature height over 6 <br />ft.) <br />3. Trees to be preserved must have tree protection fence installed as described in the <br />City Tree Protection Fence Detail. Replace the tree protection detail currently on <br />sheet C8.2 with City detail. <br />4. Remove 6" ash 25 feet southwest of the southernmost accessible parking stall. <br />Removal of this tree will not require a mitigation tree to be planted. <br />5. It appears that the southeast portion of the existing pavement and curb are <br />scheduled for removal. If this will result in exposed soil, redundant perimeter <br />controls will be needed between the parking lot and the wetland on the south of <br />the parcel. <br />6. MnDOT type 3N or 4N bio-netting or natural netting erosion control blanket shall <br />be used where blanket is necessary for stabilization to minimize wildlife impacts. <br />0 Page 1 <br />
