<br />Environmental Memo <br />To:Katie Larsen, City Planner <br />From:Tom Hoffman, Environmental CoordinatorTom Hoffman, Environmental Coordinator <br />Date:April 1, 2026 <br />Re: Environmental Comments – Lyngblomsten PUD Amendment 4 <br />Environmental Board recommended the following at their March 25, 2026 meeting: <br />1. screening is required adjacent to parking lots to public right of way. <br />Screening should be provided on the north side of the parking lot adjacent to <br />Lyngblomsten Drive. <br />2.Provide tree protection fencing and detail in the plan set for existing <br />boulevard trees to be protected during construction. <br />3.Update canopy coverage calculations. My calculations show 11 trees <br />receiving 50% credit for an additional 1,200 SF. Potentially 1 tree is within 7- <br />12 and would receive 25 percent credit. <br />4.Recommend adding one additional tree along the Hodgson Road boulevard. <br />Currently the proposal shows trees throughout the building breaking up the <br />frontage. There is one gap of trees between the stairs and the restaurant <br /> that doesn’t seem to blend into the overall design. <br />5.Confirm irrigation reuse area and provide final calculations for reuse. <br />6.Recommend matching curb to the rest of the development. <br />7.The project will disturb more than an acre of soil and will be required to <br />obtain an NPDES permit. Proof of permit shall be required before <br />construction. <br />a.A SWPPP shall be required in additional submittals as required by the <br />MPCA meeting sections 5.2-5.26. <br />b.Final erosion and sediment control will be reviewed with future <br />submittals. <br />c.Inlet protection required on all existing catch basins. <br /> <br />
