Donlin requested that minimal lighting be used, especially at night. Trehus agreed and asked if the lights would be turned off at night. Donlin inquired if the 38 -foot pole height was necessary, or if it could be reduced. Mr. Palmquist stated that if the pole height was reduced, there would be an increase in the number of lights. The Board was assured that the lights would be . shoebox lights, to aim the light down, not out. Mr. Payton noted that in the site plan, the nighttime team leader would have all the lights off, except for a corridor of lights for the employees. After the employees left, all lights would be turned off except for security lights. Trehus said that there should be a vote on the recommendations that include the following as well as the recommendations previously stated by Mach: • Set aside property off site for open space. • Lighting issues were a major concern. • Maximize the green in groupings, rather than in straight lines. Mach moved to approve the recommendations of the Environmental Board. Trehus seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CITY OF LINO LAKES MINUTES DATE : January 31, 2001 PROJECT REVIEW A. Ryan/Target Project Submittal (Item 1 -01) — Asleson explained that the green sheet was to help recall previous information relevant to present discussion. There was no green sheet given for this item, because a formal submittal had been received. Asleson read the background section of the agenda sheet item 1 -01. Several plans have been submitted including formal project submittal, a grading plan, a tree inventory and preservation/restoration plan, surface water infiltration proposals, a landscape plan, and a lighting plan. No response from the Rice Creek Watershed District has been received. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) still needed to be completed and the wetland mitigation area is still yet to be determined. Asleson asked for comments or recommendations from the Board. Chair Lanyon stated that the Board did not know the recommendations the Watershed District had discussed. The tree inventory was the most important concern for the Board, specifically where the tamarack trees would be planted. Grundhofer asked if the size of the trees had been determined. Asleson answered that the trees would be two inches in diameter. Chair Lanyon noted that until the Board had comments and or recommendations from the Watershed District the Board could not make any recommendations. Asleson confirmed that no comments were received in his office from the Watershed District. Chair Lanyon pointed out that other species had encroached in the area.
