Ms. Katie Larsen 07/03/2025 Page 6 Peltier Ponds Development - Engineering Review The abandoned segment of Peltier Lake Drive along the lake will need to be converted to a City Trail. A City trail will need to be installed along the west side of CSAH 54 from Rehbein Street to Watermark Way. Additional trail and sidewalk segments may need to be included throughout the site at the direction of the City Planner. • Wetlands and Environment The project indicates that there are approximately 15.58 acres of wetland. A wetland replacement plan based on the impacts will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved through RCWD and the City. A WCA application has been submitted on April 18, 2025. The site is located in the Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). Wetland buffers meeting minimum and average requirements will be required around all wetland areas following construction. Any disturbed buffer areas should be seeded with a seed mix containing native, non-invasive, species. Review of the DNR’s Natural Heritage Information System database indicates the potential presence of several protected species within and near the project area, including protected plant species. The applicant should coordinate with the DNR on the need for additional studies or surveys. The applicant will need to conduct a Cultural Resource Assessment of the development site through SHPO. • Landscaping A Landscape Plan for the Peltier Ponds development has been submitted and will be reviewed by staff and the City’s Environmental Coordinator. The Environmental Coordinator will provide separate comments. • Floodplain The southern portion of the Peltier Ponds development appears to be in FEMA Zone A and RCWD floodplain, outlines for both areas should be shown on the plans. Please confirm that any fill for the proposed pond berm and trail work does not exceed the 100 cubic yard threshold per RCWD Rule E or 1,000 cubic yard threshold per City Ordinance 1103.06. • Drainage and Utility Easements Roadways are proposed within right-of-way and lots include standard drainage and utility easements. Larger drainage and utility easements will be required to be provided over any utilities outside the right of way and any surface water management features. The western 60’ feet of CSAH 54 should be dedicated as right of way to Anoka County with it extending out to 75’ in areas for future roundabout transitions. Comments: 1. Please confirm easement intentions/needs with RCWD for the abandonment/realignment of ACD 72 through the northeast corner of the site. Will a separate easement to RCWD be provided there?
