ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING AUGUST 31, 2005 <br />Asleson inquired if they were going to integrate the surface water train. He also <br />asked if Rehbein was still working on the plan. Mr. Hayes responded that they <br />were still working with Rehbein. <br /> <br />Bor questioned if the conservation inventory indicated an area was a wetland. <br />Mr. Hayes answered that the area was on a 100-year flood plain, but there were <br />about 14.7 acres of wetland on site. He referred to a map of the current wetlands <br />on site. <br /> <br />Asleson stated that before ditching, it was all wetland. O’Dea added that the <br />Board attempts to preserve the natural environment, and make sure the wetlands <br />were accounted for. <br /> <br />Grundhofer mentioned the wetlands and open space attract wildlife. Ms. <br />Lendrahl responded they have incorporated wildlife corridors within the plan, <br />such as culverts under paths. <br /> <br />Asleson stated rare plants have come up in sites where disturbance has occurred. <br />He restated that the stormwater treatment was critical, and the buffer areas were <br />important for songbirds and deer. Mr. Hayes mentioned his front yard was a <br />natural prairie, so he was familiar with the benefits of native plantings. <br /> <br />Kukonen stated in the Handbook, the City had expressed the value of continuous <br />wildlife areas. <br /> <br />Asleson mentioned that the size of the site was comparable to Clearwater Creek. <br /> <br />Bor inquired about the acreage conceptually designated for open space. Mr. <br />Hayes answered the open space would be 80-95 acres, or about 26%. <br /> <br />Kukonen indicated a conservation development would have 50% open space. <br /> <br />Bor stated that the residents were very invested in the community, and she <br />encouraged them to work with everyone to make the development different than <br />other cities. Mr. Hayes agreed, and indicated that he understood that they were a <br />gateway, and wanted cohesiveness within the community. <br /> <br />Asleson stated the open space was designed to meet the standards in the AUAR, <br />and the details were not yet apparent. Mr. Hayes answered they were constrained <br />by the process. <br /> <br />Grundhofer inquired of the 26% designated for open space, how much would be <br />open for wildlife. Mr. Hayes mentioned it could be designed into the project. <br /> <br />Bor questioned staff about the PUD. Asleson responded it would go from strictly <br />industrial to mixed use. <br />3 APPROVED MINUTES
