• • Agenda Item 5A Environmental Board Meeting Date: Topic: Fox Den Acres Background: Fox Den Acres submitted preliminary plat to the Environmental Board for review on March 28th 2004. The following recommendations were made at the March 28th meeting: The Environmental Board recommended that this plat be denied under the current zoning, that this would be an excellent property to develop with a greenway corridor. (If approved than other considerations of Environmental Board and Staff should be looked at). The following recommendations were made: Recommend this development be considered as a PUD and /or Conservation Development that would allow for variability in lot sizes and street widths. Suggest that the developer work with the Saddle Club site, or look at purchasing the Saddle Club site, for developing together with the Fox Den Acres site, so that the two sites could be planned concurrently. • That the proposed NURP ponds and infiltration ponds be evaluated for adequate separation and filtration to the seasonally high water table. That the developer works with staff to identify trees that can be saved in buffer areas and designated clear areas. That the development should allow for the creation of a greenway corridor from the South West corner to the South East corner, and up along the East side of the property. No soils should be imported or exported without City approval. Soil protection areas should be designated and fenced off. Rock entrances should have additional stockpile of rock on hand to top dress entrances when initial rock entrance fills. Storm water from roofs and back yards should follow some sort of a designed treatment train before water flows into existing wetlands. The developer should be required to use the City native seed mix, in NURP and infiltration pond restoration -work. That the seeding of these areas be accomplished with the services of an approved contractor that is knowledgeable in native plant restoration. That the developer be required to hire such a native plant contractor to manage the restoration areas for a minimum of three years.
