ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 30, 2002 Grundhofer indicated that at the November 20, 2002 meeting she would like to the comments from Table I. • Page 5, Section 9: Donlin stated that they had not discussed project compatibility with adjacent homeowners and nearby land uses. It was further stated that within a 1/2 mile there are 38 residents not directly on the property line as well as public utility property, and that the 1' paragraph is not accurate. • Page 6, Section 9: O'Connell noted that on 20th Avenue there were nine homes adjacent to the site. Ms. Bor indicated that 20th Avenue was zoned light industrial. She stated that her family had lived there for six generations. She found that in the text that the first paragraph was not accurate in the number of homesteads. In the third paragraph, the reference to the Comprehensive Plan was incorrect. In the fourth paragraph the Pig's Eye Wastewater Treatment Facility was used. In addition, the tile system from 1910 was inadequate and there was ponding in the Rehbein addition. O'Dea indicated that land use concerning Environment did not address the Minnesota Land Cover Classification. Chair Kukonen agreed the Environmental Assessment Worksheet was lacking in many areas. He asked for clarification in Section 10 where the numbers changed from 7.2 to 48.6 for brush/grassland classification. O'Connell stated that the concept of rainwater guards was good. She referred to page 12, and noted that all impervious needed to be addressed. Kukonen added that the number given was 15 acres, when on page 12 the number given was 50 acres. • Page 7, Section 11: Asleson noted that he had given the developers the cover type natural features map and information on the aquatic survey. These were absent from the discussion section. Grundhofer stated that she would like to see a MLCC map included in the document, and more detail in the Natural Features section. O'Dea indicated that they were unable to assess the impact because there was not enough data available. Asleson answered that the information and maps were available. He also mentioned that there were no construction limits indicated. He recommended that they add the City of Lino Lakes, and the Peltier Lake Association in the fifth paragraph. They should not state their assumption that the birds would not be impacted, if other experts could not. He urged a monitoring standard and a plan to stop contractors, should observers indicate it necessary. DRAFT MINUTES
