Recommendations Lino Lakes Environmental Board August 31, 2005 The following recommendations were made at the August 31, 2005 Environmental Board Meeting: Apollo Landing Infiltration pond #1 does not show a ground cover. Infiltration ponds should be seeded with our City native seed mix, and supplemented with potted plants. Management of this area should be encumbered under at least a three year contract with a company experienced in native plant establishment and maintenance. The contract should cover at least one Burn at the end of three years. Any contract should be reviewed by the city for acceptability. Around the Hotel), something other than Norway maple should be planted, particularly on the North side of the Hotel. Norway maples are considered invasive to our woodlands. Red or Autumn Blaze maples might be substituted for the Norway maples. Infiltration pond # 2 should have the same consideration as infiltration pond # 1 sited above. • All sodded areas around the Hotel must be shown as irrigated. Trees shown on the East side of entrance are not identified. Bordering areas along the property lines are shown as rock mulch and native prairie. Developer should indicate which option is the intended use. If the intended use is native plants, than more formal plantings around the perimeter would be more appropriate. Wood chip mulch would be more appropriate for these plantings as well as for the substituted red /autumn blaze maples. Lime stone rock will lower the pH and cause growth problems for the plants. Reduce parking as much as possible and /or use pervious parking. Motion to approve by Bor, second by Bauman. All were in favor and motion passed. •
