• Environmental Memo To: Michael Grochala From: Marty Asleson CC: Jeff Smyser Date: December 20, 2001 Re: Environmental Board Recommendations /December 19, 2001 /Pheasant Hills Preserve 12th Addition The Environmental Board, at the Environmental Board Meeting of December 19, 2001, made the following comments and recommendation concerning the proposed development of Pheasant Hills Preserve 12th Addition: • The development proposal is in a Lake Protection Zone. • The development proposal lies within a high ecological value zone, where no development should occur according to the Lino Lakes Environmental Handbook and the Shoreland Management Ordinance. • The high ecological value zone in the Lino Lakes Environmental Management Plan recommends a 200 -foot buffer in this area. • The West End of the island is very sensitive to ground water contamination taking hours to minutes for contaminants to reach the first layer of the aquifer. • The storm pond on the West Side should be met with a high level of scrutiny. Connie Grundhoffer made a motion to not recommend approval of the plan as it is now presented. Teri O'Connell added that if the project moves forward, all recommendations submitted by staff shall be followed, and that staff be involved with Rice Creek Watershed District in dealing with future Storm Water Management issues. Teri O'Connell Second the Motion.
