ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETINGSEPTEMBER 10, 2003 <br />6APPROVED MINUTES <br />A.Sketch Plan Review, Circle-Lex VFW <br />This item was discussed later in the meeting. <br />B.Sketch Plan Review, ProTerra <br />Grochala introduced the item and indicated his concern was the ability to do <br />routine maintenance. He directed the Board to the NWI Wetlands map. Mr. <br />Moberg explained the old NWI maps were crude, and that the new legislation <br />exempts from isolated wetlands. <br />The ProTerra Group introduced themselves. Troy Nemmers, Jeffery McDonall <br />Landscape Architect, Greg Morris Engineer, Philip Carlson with Equinox <br />Development, Judy Helin and Craig Piette with Equinox Development were <br />present. <br />Asleson noted he visited the site. A forest bordered the site as Oak Woodland, <br />but it had several opportunistic trees. Some remaining specimen Oaks could be <br />preserved, but he saw no rare or endangered species or wetlands present. <br />Mr. McDonall stated the site would include a hotel, retail and restaurant. He <br />admitted that they were overparked, however they wanted the flexibility until the <br />final design. He assured the Board there would be a sincere attempt to integrate <br />the oaks into the plan and it would have an environmental theme. He planned to <br />have pedestrian connections between the buildings and to Apollo Drive. The <br />property was flat, and he indicated they would work with Rice Creek Watershed <br />District for ponding. Any tree species recommendations the Board or staff might <br />have would be welcomed. <br />Asleson described the treatment train for surface water to keep the water on site. <br />Rainwater gardens were recommended. The City had seed specs mix, but the <br />concern was for maintenance. Usually businesses wanted irrigated sod in the <br />front of the buildings. <br />Mr. Morris stated that there would be an underground storage facility under the <br />parking lots for infiltration. The majority of storage was underground. Asleson <br />mentioned that a challenge was there was a three foot separation for the <br />infiltration elevations. <br />Mr. McDonall inquired if the levels were consistent across the City. Asleson <br />answered that parts of the City had clay while others had sandy soils. He urged <br />the developers to keep the seasonal high water level in mind, in addition to water <br />volumes leaving the site.
