CIOF <br />IN KES <br />To: Katie Larsen, City Planner <br />Environmental Memo <br />From: Michael Grochala, Community Development Director <br />Date: October 1, 2024 <br />Re: Environmental Comments —Wilkinson Waters <br />Environmental Board had the following comments/recommendations at their September 25, <br />2024 meeting: <br />1. A new rare plant and animal survey must be completed for the project area. <br />Finds should be used to minimize disturbance and influence the overall project <br />design. Opportunities to provide new or improved habitat should be <br />incorporated into the project. <br />2. The project should include expanded buffers adjacent to Wetland 1. A <br />restoration and management plan should be developed for upland buffer areas <br />consistent with pre -settlement vegetation. <br />3. Building setbacks to Wilkinson Lake as proposed should be maintained. <br />4. Supported of 48' building height for the senior building if overstory trees <br />plantings are provided between building and lake. <br />5. The sandy, well drained areas offer the potential for stormwater infiltration. <br />Infiltrations BMPs should be incorporated provided groundwater separation <br />requirements can be met. <br />6. A stormwater treatment train that filters and treats stormwater runoff as it flows <br />through the site should be developed. Any opportunities to incorporate natural <br />treatment systems into the project should be encouraged. <br />9 Page 1 <br />
