• <br />• <br />• <br />ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 26, 2001 <br />O'Connell made a motion for option 1 to recommend approval with recommendations <br />from the staff and the Board. Grundhofer seconded the motion. Motion carried <br />unanimously. <br />D. Pheasant Hills Preserve 12th Addition, Preliminary Plat/PDO, Comp Plan <br />Amendment — MUSA — Asleson stated that this was a formal application with a <br />preliminary plat as a planned development overlay, and he reviewed the background. <br />The site would be on an island on Wards Lake which was public water. A bridge would <br />be constructed for access and has already been granted a permit with stormwater outfalls <br />by the DNR. The DNR stated that the permit did not mean support for the project. The <br />site was under the Shoreline Ordinance with a setback of 150 feet for any building, while <br />the shore impact zone was 75 feet from the shore where no vegetation was allowed to be <br />removed. The plan showed the entire island would be graded, and all vegetation be <br />removed. The areas to the north and west and toward the south were very sensitive to <br />aquifer contamination. Additionally, the entire area was on the 100 -year floodplain. Two <br />recommendations of Mr. Hovey of the DNR were to reduce the impervious areas to <br />maintain the runoff volumes and rates, and to enact covenants for the homeowners. <br />Finally the Lino Lakes Management Handbook recomm as much buffering as <br />possible. <br />Trehus pointed out that there were no maps or s sub ted. Asleson located the <br />bridge on a City map, and distributed a list of sh • e terms to clarify the comments. <br />Trehus asked whether water or wetland su island. Asleson reviewed that it <br />was a sensitive area on a floodplain. The is 1 w a ` just under 1000 feet long. He <br />indicated that the definition of bl . whe .- here was a 25 -foot change in elevation, <br />while the island had only a 20- : ; °ich was the largest change in elevation in <br />that part of the City. On th • e was a periodic tree kill from the water changes, <br />while the recommended fferin o be on the perimeter. <br />Chair Kukonen stated that th�� ere several roadblocks to the project, and there was no <br />Comprehensive Plan to amend. Asleson concurred that the slopes were steep and the <br />developers would be asking for variances on all the shorelines. <br />Grundhofer inquired about the possibility of two houses, with no variances. <br />Chair Kukonen indicated that he had walked the property and recalled that there were <br />very mature trees that created an oak savanna, and that the wetland flags appeared to be <br />inaccurate. <br />Asleson stated that economics were driving the plan. He mentioned the developer tried <br />to preserve trees. <br />Chair Kukonen suggested that the City might want to acquire the land to preserve as a <br />park or open space. <br />4 <br />
