Attachment 1: Site Layout Performance Standards Page 4 (d) Structures shall be setback a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of protected natural and semi - natural areas. ii. Wetlands Non - contiguous to the WPC: These areas shall be conserved in accordance with applicable watershed district and Army Corps of Engineers rules and permit requirements, as amended. iii. Vegetated Wetland Buffer. Establish an upland buffer of native vegetation to wetlands non - contiguous to WPC to maintain water quality and habitat. (a) The buffer width must be at least 25 feet adjacent to the entire wetland. The location of the buffer should maximize the protection of ESAs. (b) The vegetated wetland buffer and upland habitat area must meet the requirements in RCWD RMP -3 and the Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization, as amended. (c) Structures shall be setback a minimum of 10 feet from the edge of the wetland buffer. c) Natural Resource Corridor Enhancement Areas. These corridors shall be established to provide contiguous and complete natural open space system, surface water conveyance, and passive recreational uses. Specific performance standards for Natural Resource Corridor Enhancement Areas are as follows: i. Corridors should minimize natural resource fragmentation by creating connections within and between natural resource protected areas or natural resource conservation areas located on site and on adjacent properties. ii. Corridors should be established where there is a convergence of multiple features, such as surface water management areas, natural and semi- natural areas, and existing or proposed trail corridors. iii. The Ccvcl Two (T 2) tree preservation and mitigation requirements in Section 3. Subd.4.Q shall apply within Natural Resource Corridor Enhancement Areas. 3) Wetland Buffer and Upland Habitat Requirements. a) As a condition of approval, a property owner must record a declaration in a form approved by the City establishing vegetated wetland buffer area adjacent to the delineated edge of a wetland and upland habitat defined as an ESA through the site planning process. The declaration must state that on further subdivision of the property, each subdivided lot of record shall meet the monumentation requirement of paragraph E.2.b.3.b. On public land or right -of -way, in place of a recorded declaration, the public owner may execute a written maintenance agreement with the City. The maintenance agreement will state that if the land containing the buffer or upland habitat area is conveyed to a private party, the seller must record a declaration for maintenance in a form approved by the City. b) Buffer or upland habitat area is to be indicated by permanent, freestanding markers at the buffer or habitat area upland edge, with a design and text approved by City staff in writing. A marker shall be placed at each lot line and at all angle and curve points, with additional markers at an interval of no more than 200 feet. On public land or right -of -way, the monumentation requirement may be satisfied by the use of • •
