ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 29, 2006 <br /> <br />Ms. O’Connell asked if there would be signs up that say no dumping by the <br />wetlands. Mr. Asleson proposed a Conservation Easement for this. It is a <br />reasonable thing to ask for on city owned property and there is plenty of room for <br />this. Mr. Asleson stated we would like it written into rules and regulation of the <br />association. Mr. James said this will be done. <br /> <br />O’Dea asked if Mr. James had an issue with Mr. Asleson’s report. Mr. stated that <br />no, there was nothing that cannot be worked out with the city. <br /> <br />Ms. Grundhoefer asked about the runoff from the town houses. Mr. James <br />responded that the runoff will be collect from roofs and fed into storm sewers. <br />There are infiltration tanks set up, etc. <br /> <br />Mr. James from Hartford questioned the lighting for the trail. Mr. Grochala stated <br />the police department requested lighting on the trail as the trail is somewhat <br />secluded. The staff will review relocation of drive aisle lighting to better light the <br />trial. Move from west side to east side. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendations: <br /> <br />1. The landscape plan should be changed from a non-producing Snow Crab to a <br />fruit producing Snow Crab, Green Velvet Boxwood changed to Bush <br />Honeysuckle and the Barberry changed to Weigela, Tango or other shrub. <br />2. Trees shall be staked as necessary for one growing season. <br />3. Signage shall be placed at wetland. <br />4. Security lighting shall be downcast so light does not spill into wetland areas. <br /> <br />Ms. O’Connell made a motion to approve with recommendations from staff and <br />the Board. Ms. Grundhoefer seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />6. DISCUSSION ITEMS <br /> <br />A. Earth Day <br /> <br />Earth Day is April 22. Ms. O’Connell asked if letters had been sent out to <br />business requesting donations. Mr. Asleson said that they had been sent and to <br />date he has received a total of $400.00.
