Page 2 i. Credit is not given for drainage from the wetlands that is directed to the stormwater ponds 4. City Tree Protection Fence detail should be added to the plan sheet. Standard detail Gen-27 5. Trees scheduled to be preserved must have Tree Protection Fence installed in accordance with City tree protection fence detail. 6. Ash trees preserved will not provide any existing tree credit. All ash trees should be removed unless noted they are and will continue to be treated for EAB on two-year rotations 7. Seed mixes should be updated to MNDOT seed mix design numbers for final plans. Please provide more site-specific mixes for each location. Currently showing wet ditch planting for stormwater areas and tall grass roadside mix for buffer locations. 8. Low maintenance turf should be evaluated through out the development. Ground covers should be drought resistant to reduce the need for irrigation use. 9. Add a note to the landscape plan to stockpile topsoil and preserve during the project. Topsoil should be spread over the open space and natural areas to promote the existing seed bank and encourage native plants. 10. The project will disturb more than an acre of soil and will be required to obtain an NPDES permit. Proof of permit shall be required before construction. a. A SWPPP shall be required in additional submittals as required by the MPCA meeting sections 5.2-5.26 b. Final erosion and sediment control will be reviewed with future submittals 11. Wetlands 30 and 35 are outside of the WMC buffer area. These wetlands appear to be outside of the area of disturbance. Staff recommends extending buffers around both wetlands as much as possible. Combining the buffer between the two wetlands would add the most protection and add additional wildlife benefits. a. Page 120 of 168
