ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 30, 2002 what the impacts to nesting herons would or could be for this type if activity at this range — particularly being a "new" type of disturbance. Donlin stated that the point was that the birds could be impacted. • Page 4, Section 6D: Donlin mentioned that the site should require more environmental review. Ms. Bor indicated under the statute they needed to submit all stages and allow plans for an environmental review. She stated that the Church probably had plans for summer camps that could impact the lake. There was also a barn and a farmhouse existing on the lot and it was unclear if those would be utilized and under what circumstances. O'Dea addressed "describing future stages," indicated that the expansion should have been included in that section. Section 7: Donlin stated that an 80 -foot spire would be offensive, in light of the building requirement of under 36- feet. Even though churches were exempt, the conditional use permit required the building be similar height to surrounding buildings in the neighborhood. O'Dea added that the spire could be 60 -80 feet high, and wanted the height clearly defined. Grundhofer recommended there be no lights on at the site at night, especially pointed upward at the spire. Donlin stated that a variance must meet nine criteria, and that it would not be required. There was precedence with a church. Rod Kukonen requested that site compatibility be further addressed. • Page 5, Section 8: Grundhofer noted that the table appeared incomplete. O'Dea indicated none of the permits were discussed, but merely identified. Ms. Bor stated that if the Environmental Assessment Worksheet did not go well, they might not use the plan. She believed that the project should be addressed in concept. If they asked the correct questions, the environment could be protected. Grundhofer requested to see the permits and approvals from Table I, and to postpone comments until the next meeting. Donlin questioned if by getting the permits, had they not gone beyond the approval process. Asleson clarified that they were listing the permits and agencies. Those agencies would be receiving a copy of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet. Donlin stated that a Shoreline Management Review should take place. 6 DRAFT MINUTES
