All soils, especially in pond /infiltration areas should be protected from excessive compaction. Low impact grade equipment should be used and protection fence placed around infiltration areas after initial installation. No importing or exporting of soils should be made without City approval. Site Vegetation The Lino Lakes MLCCS is shown on Attachment 9 The developer has submitted a tree inventory. The inventory is depicted on Attachment 3. The City also has a text file copy of the tree point data. The delivered tree inventory hard copy is hard to read. There is no indication (other than silt fence location) at this point of which trees will be saved and which trees will need to be removed. There needs to be a dialog between the developer and the City on which trees will be saved. A larger scale map with proposed grade changes and existing trees should be submitted. A 10 -foot buffer is required from the wetland delineation lines. This buffer should be increased on the South lot if possible. The Tree Inventory provided by the developer shows the following surveyed trees: • 11 Alder • 1 Ash • 44 Cherry • 3 Cottonwoods • 4 Dogwoods • 64 Elm • 13 Hackberry • 117 Maple • 98 Oaks • 35 Pines • 2 Plum • 28 Poplar • 16 Spruce • 1 Willow Looking at the proposed disturbance site, the tree inventory is approximately half of the total survey in the disturbance area. In order to maintain the original integrated ambiance intention of civic facilities adjacent to the site, it is important to attempt to save as many trees on the North side of the proposal as possible. Some options (that may save some additional trees) to surface water issues are discussed in the Tree Protection section of this report. Greenway /Level 1 Habitat Areas The new Parks, Natural Open Space /Greenway & Trail System Plan shows level 1 habitat areas running through this site (Attachment 9). Greenway trails were previously shunted from Stagecoach trail, out to Lake Drive and back into City hall at the entrance. See Attachment 10 and 11 for the Open Space original trail general location and System Plan. Thus, the trail previously determined to go into green way area of Marshan Lakeview would now go around the proposed
