• <br />Memo <br />Environmental <br />To: Jeff Smyser <br />CC: Michael Grochala <br />From: Marty Asleson <br />Date: January 30, 2004 <br />Re: Recommendations of the February 25, 2004 Environmental Board Meeting <br />The Environmental Board met on February 24, 2004 and made the following <br />recommendations: <br />Rice Creek Covenant Church <br />Land Cover <br />• The developer needs to submit a tree preservation plan, and follow the <br />subdivision ordinance for tree preservation plans. <br />• We have identified a few rare -plant conditions on the southern part of the site. <br />Environmental would like time to verify the presence or absence of rare plants. If <br />found, the Environmental Board would like some flexibility in design. <br />▪ Northern residential site grade plan indicates most of the aspen vegetation on the <br />East Side proposed for removal (Attachment 1). Properties to the West also have <br />rare plant indicators. Since nitrogen (lawn fertilizer runoff) has been shown to <br />remove biodiversity, and Aspen buffers act as good filters for runoff, the <br />Environmental Board would like the developer to look at ways to maintain more of <br />this Aspen edge. The water from this area flows to the East. The Environmental <br />Board would like to see a 50 foot buffer in this area. The Environmental Board <br />would like to see signage at wetlands and drainage areas informing "no- dumping, <br />cutting or filling." <br />Lighting <br />No -spill lighting should be. used. Lights should be turned off after activities are <br />done. <br />• Page 1 <br />
