ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 30, 2005 <br />O’Dea recommended re-visiting projects, to find out what was effective, and what <br />needed to be addressed in the process. She gave the example of the Grill and <br />Chill. Bor agreed and requested a site visit and a reviewal of the process to assess <br />the recommendations from the Board. <br /> <br />Asleson suggested that the condensed files could be pulled. He agreed it would <br />be helpful to visit the entire site, because there was a lot to point out. Options that <br />were possible were to meet before a meeting on site, or to choose a Saturday in <br />the summer and visit several sites. <br /> <br />O’Connell requested to see comments from the Planning and Zoning Board, and <br />the final comments to assess if the company made changes on their own or if the <br />requirements changed after the Board made recommendations. <br /> <br />Bor indicated it would be helpful to view the vegetation. She stated it would be <br />good to go to one site in June to begin the process, and then do several sites on <br />another date. She requested the recommendations from the Board be provided to <br />members prior to the visit. <br /> <br />Bauman indicated it would be helpful to revisit a residential, a large industrial, <br />and a medium development. <br /> <br />The Board agreed to table the discussion to the April 27, 2005 meeting. <br /> <br />C. Fox Den Acres <br /> <br />Asleson stated that Mr. Huvseth was working with the developer, and would also <br />be present at the Earth Day celebration. Staff referred to a website called Rhode <br />Island Basins that had recommendations for developments, and indicated that <br />most of the suggestions were going to be done on the site. The developer had not <br />yet broken ground, but was planning to do so soon. <br /> <br />D. Earth Day <br /> <br />O’Connell indicated the celebration would take place on April 23, 2005. Wargo <br />would open to the public at 12:30 p.m. with popcorn available. Participants in the <br />clean-up effort would be able to eat at 11:30 p.m. She noted that Wargo had <br />announced the festivities in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. Clean-up Day was <br />planned for May 7, 2005. May 6, 2005 would be Arbor Day at Lino Lakes <br />Elementary. <br /> <br />Grundhofer showed the Board a poster with a heron on it, and indicated she <br />procured 400 for the Earth Day celebration, and any extra for Heron Days. She <br />also had worm postcards for Earth Day. <br /> <br />Kukonen stated the Living Green Expo would be soon after Earth Day. <br />7 APPROVED MINUTES
