These will be provided with final plans. <br />• Wetlands and Environment <br />The project proposes approximately 1.62 acres of wetland impact. A wetland replacement <br />plan will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved through RCWD and the City. <br />The current WCA NOD document states they are avoiding impacts to wetland 8 however, <br />wetland 8 will be impacted with the connection to Andall Street and should be included with <br />the impacts. <br />Review of the MnDNR's Natural Heritage Information System database indicates the <br />potential presence of several protected species within and near the project area, including <br />protected plant species. The applicant should coordinate with the DNR on the need for <br />additional studies or surveys. <br />Wetland buffers meeting minimum and average requirements will be required around all <br />wetland areas following construction. Any disturbed buffer areas should be seeded with a <br />seed mix containing native, non-invasive, species. <br />• Landscaping <br />A Landscape Plan for Natures Refuge North Addition has been submitted and will be <br />reviewed by staff and the City's Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator <br />will provide separate comments. <br />• Floodplain <br />The Natures Refuge North Addition does not impact the existing floodplain. <br />• Drainage and Utility Easements <br />Roadways are proposed within right-of-way and lots include standard drainage and utility <br />easements. Larger drainage and utility easements will be required to be provided over <br />any utilities outside the right of way and any surface water management features. <br />Comments: <br />1. More detailed storm sewer plans must be submitted to sufficiently reviewrequired <br />drainage and utility easements over pipes. <br />a. This could potentially impact lot widths of existing parcels <br />Design spreadsheet provided — storm depths verified easements verified. <br />2. Provide a separate trail easement for the public trail crossing Outlot D <br />Trail easement will be provided after trail is constructed. <br />• Development Agreement <br />A development agreement will be required with the final plat. <br />• Grading Agreement <br />Grading agreement not required at this time. <br />Nature Refuge North Addition Engineering Review <br />
