(AES) was retained to examine the existing natural <br />resources found within the Town Center Planning and Development area for the City of Lino <br />Lakes, Minnesota. On December 13 and 14, 1998, we began this investigation. The primary <br />goals of the investigation included the following: <br />1. Characterize the existing ecological resources with a high degree of definition within the <br />northeastern and southeastern quadrants of the Main Street/Highway 35 intersection. <br />2. Refine previously defined land cover typing, with less definition in the northwest and <br />southwest quadrants of the intersection. <br />3. Map key features in the northeast and southeast quadrants using DGPS (High Definition <br />Global Positioning System) surveying. <br />4. Identify existing high - quality natural resource remnants that should or could be <br />integrated within a future development concept plan. <br />5. Identify ecological restoration opportunities for enhancing and restoring existing natural <br />resources within all quadrants. <br />6. Examine areas for potential threatened and endangered species and their habitat. <br />Methods <br />Two workers spent one and one half days in the northeast and southeast quadrants of <br />the study area, with a brief visit to the northwest and southwest quadrants to confirm cover <br />types. Field surveys were conducted by walking all of the properties and delineating cover <br />types and significant features on a color infrared aerial photograph (1:200 scale). In addition, <br />DGPS surveying was used to more accurately map the boundaries of key natural resources and <br />other features on the landscape within one -meter accuracy. <br />Descriptions of vegetation cover types were developed during the field investigation <br />using dominant species of each strata (tree, shrub, and herb layer) and their associates. <br />Ecological conditions of the strata within each plant community were also characterized during <br />the field visit. <br />S:98629:040999 1 Lino Lakes Town Center Natural Resource Inventory Report <br />
