Wetland 8 is an <br />extension of the Wollans Wetland. Extended buffers and upland should be provided <br /> between proposed houses and wetland. A minimum of 50’ should be provided for <br />Wetland 8; no buffers should be included in the proposed lots. Avoidance of impacts to <br />large wetlands should be encouraged with the development. Proposed road will cut <br />through a portion of Wetland 3, ensure that hydrology is not impacted and the overall <br />wetland function is maintained in both lobes. <br />The proposed project areas fall within the RCWD Wetland Management Corridor (WMC). <br />Confirm that all buffers and management meet RCWD requirements within the WMC. <br />Staff Comments: <br />1.There shall be more separation and buffer between Lots 56-66 and the wetland. <br />2.No wetlands or wetland buffers shall encroach into any lot. <br />Rare Plant Survey <br />A Rare Plant Survey was prepared by MNR. Three (3) state-threatened species and one <br />(1) endangered species were detected on site. The proposed Pine Oaks layout avoids <br />these rare species. <br />Staff Comments: <br />1.Lot 12 shall be evaluated for proximity and potential impacts to the rare plants. <br />Floodplain <br />Per the December 17, 2025 Environmental Board staff report: <br />10 <br /> <br />
