Surface Water <br />Surface water is directed to NURP ponds from impervious surfaces. Surface <br />water runoff from back yards and rooftops seems to be directed directly into <br />wetlands. Since there are no proposed buffers around the wetlands, lawn and <br />rooftop runoff should be buffered at least before entering the wetland. It is also <br />important to provide adequate buffering to County Ditch 25. A segment of this <br />ditch appears to be immediately adjacent to the central nurp pond on the East <br />Side of the proposed development. The pond is designed to discharge directly <br />into this ditch. Fine soil particles take about a week to settle out adequately, and <br />dissolved pollutants (lawn pesticides, nitrogen) need additional filtration before <br />being allowed to enter the ditch. <br />Water from the CD25 area flows to Wards Lake than to Reshanuau. <br />A conservation easement is indicated for the southern ponds in the Outlot areas. <br />This conservation easement is for maintenance access. There does not appear <br />to be any access to the conservation easement or any of the other wet or pond <br />areas in the treatment train. <br />Site Restoration <br />The Developer has specified a MNDOT 26B mix for the pond restoration areas. <br />Although the mix is native (Attachment 11), I recommend that the developer be <br />required to use the city native seed mix and have it installed by a nursery <br />business knowledgeable in native seen installation. The developer should also <br />hire the services of such nursery to maintain the seeded area for a minimum of <br />three years. One boulevard tree of the City's choice should be planted per <br />housing frontage. <br />Open Space Issues <br />A park is designed into the NW corner of the property. The 1992 Open Space <br />Plan indicates no need for a park in this area. Instead, the plan demonstrates a <br />need for a greenway system connecting two established parks. The City Land <br />Use Plan shows this area as greenway. This is because of the high ground <br />water, percentage wetlands present, and unsuitability to building. Lino Lakes <br />Environmental has further revised this notion of greenway planning into an area <br />that includes hydric soils and flood plain. (Attachment 12) A Buffer of adjacent <br />land is needed to provide for environmental integrity, and resident use. This <br />greenway area contains points where ecological conditions exist that would <br />support rare vegetation. The wildlife potential model we have run shows this <br />
