Environmental Board <br />October 5, 2022 <br />Page 3 <br />APPROVED MINUTES <br /> <br /> <br />Ms. Holmes and Mr. Sullivan asked what additional information an EIS <br />would provide. <br /> <br />Ms. Harwood responded that an example of this additional information would <br />be if information on an endangered species was not provided within the <br />timelines established by the EAW process, this information would be <br />provided during the EIS process. She added that there were no indications <br />that the full information had not been provided during the EAW, noting that <br />she had never seen an EAW progress to an EIS for a residential development. <br />She also stated that additional information would be provided for the <br />proposed project through the normal review process. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan asked if additional insurance would be required for homes in the <br />development due to the floodplain areas on the site. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala explained the process for modeling and requirement for <br />compensatory mitigation of any floodplain impacts during development, <br />noting that it was not unusual for projects in Lino Lakes. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan asked if any of the proposed homes would have basements. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala responded that the single family homes would have basements, <br />the townhomes would be slab-on-grade. He also explained the separation <br />requirements between groundwater and low floor elevations of the buildings. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan approved of the storm water reuse, adding that he’d like to see <br />more reuse incorporated into projects in the city. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala stated that the city would be requesting storm water from the <br />ponds be used to irrigate open space areas in the proposed development. He <br />mentioned that the Watermark development was an example of storm water <br />reuse being incorporated on a large scale. <br /> <br />Mr. Sullivan asked for clarification on the topic of storm water ponds being <br />drained before excavation of sediment as a measure to protect Blanding’s <br />turtles, specifically asking how often the ponds are dredged. He also <br />mentioned that the Board are supporters of Blanding’s turtles and asked for <br />clarification on who would be checking the site for turtles prior to and during <br />construction. <br /> <br />Ms. Harwood explained how the DNR recommendations, requirements, and <br />species-specific protection plans are incorporated into development plans. <br /> <br />Mr. Grochala added that dredging the ponds occurs perhaps once every forty <br />years, depending on the pond. Ponds that are potentially used by Blanding’s <br />turtles will be drawn down by September 15th to allow the turtles to seek other
