Recommendations Lino Lakes Environmental Board November 30, 2005 The following recommendations were made at the November 30. 2005 Environmental Board Meeting: Pomp's Tires Landscape • There should be no exporting or importing of soils from this site without City Approvals. Wetland soils should be stockpiled and used in the constructed wetland and infiltration areas. • All infiltration, management pond and surface water swale areas should be planted with a City specified native seed mix (not the MNDOT specification). A City approved contractor should be hired to install, and maintain the native plant areas for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. Seed verification should be made with the City Environmental Coordinator prior to planting. • All turf areas should be irrigated. All turf areas should have top soil thoroughly tilled into the subsoil as deep as possible. This should be a check list item that is inspected by environmental prior to sodding. There is no indication on the plan as to what will be growing in the open area to the south. If this area is going to be mowed like a sodded landscape is mowed, than it should be shown as sod with irrigation. Otherwise this are should be seeded with the City native upland seed mix and placed under a 3 -5 year initial start-up contract with an approved landscape company. This contract should include one burn at the end of 3 years. • A proposed berm area on the western side of the project is intended to screen the residential area to the west. This berm should be irrigated, in order to support plantings on the berm. • In the tree planting pallet, Green Mountain Sugar maples should be changed. Red maple, Hackberry, Red or White /Burr oaks should be substituted for the Green Mountain maples. • On the upland portions of the pond areas that are to be seeded with the City native seed mix, the developer should plant tree species that would tolerate native plant management. I would suggest changing the Niobe Weeping Willows to Oak species. • Apollo Court should have boulevard trees planted every 50 feet. Suggest planting oaks in this area.
