ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING MARCH 30, 2005 • Kukonen questioned staff if Shakopee had a board. Asleson answered that he should contact Mark Quinlin for that information. • • O'Dea recommended re- visiting projects, to find out what was effective, and what needed to be addressed in the process. She gave the example of the Grill and Chill. Bor agreed and requested a site visit and a reviewal of the process to assess the recommendations from the Board. Asleson suggested that the condensed files could be pulled. He agreed it would be helpful to visit the entire site, because there was a lot to point out. Options that were possible were to meet before a meeting on site, or to choose a Saturday in the summer and visit several sites. O'Connell requested to see comments from the Planning and Zoning Board, and the final comments to assess if the company made changes on their own or if the requirements changed after the Board made recommendations. Bor indicated it would be helpful to view the vegetation, and if possible go after a 100 -year flood event. She stated it would be good to go to one site in June to begin the process, and then do several sites on another date. She requested the recommendations from the Board be provided to members prior to the visit. Bauman indicated it would be helpful to revisit a residential, a large industrial, and a medium development. The Board agreed to table the discussion to the April 27, 2005 meeting. C. Fox Den Acres Asleson stated that Mr. Huvseth was working with the developer, and would also be present at the Earth Day celebration. Staff referred to a website called Rhode Island Basins that had recommendations for developments, and indicated that most of the suggestions were going to be done on the site. The developer had not yet broken ground, but was planning to do so soon. D. Earth Day O'Connell indicated the celebration would take place on April 23, 2005. Wargo would open to the public at 12:30 p.m. with popcorn available. Participants in the clean-up effort would be able to eat at 11:30 p.m. She noted that Wargo had announced the festivities in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. Clean-up Day was planned for May 7, 2005. May 6, 2005 would be Arbor Day at Lino Lakes Elementary. 7 DRAFT MINUTES
