ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING JULY 27, 2005 Chair O'Dea stated if it drained to the East, it might increase the water volumes too much. She suggested moving the water along Dupont Avenue for additional infiltration. Asleson indicated from a surface water standpoint it was a good option. Lois Lane was on septic, but it was not an issue for this development. O'Connell noted it would require a Comprehensive Plan change, and inquired if there would be enough MUSA to finish the site by 2010. Grochala answered that the area was low density, sewered residential. Chair O'Dea referred back to the bench, and inquired if there could be a boardwalk or some other trail extended from the end. Asleson stated that the issue should be left to the Park Board. The Board discussed the recommendations it would put forth. • Work with staff on landscape screening plan to include buffering or screening on the North side of the development, and between the commercial and residential areas. • Direct downspouts to pervious areas. • One boulevard tree per frontage. • Follow Tree Preservation Ordinance. • Follow Lighting Ordinance. • Work with Park Board on trail system. • No gas station in commercial development. Kukonen made a motion to follow staff recommendations and the recommendations from the Board. O'Connell seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 6. B. Blue Heron Days Asleson stated the celebration would take place August 19 -20, 2005. Kukonen added that he believed that they should have a display on August 20, 2005 either at the bank or Lino Park. Asleson stated a petting zoo was planned for the bank so he believed that was a better location for more people. Kukonen suggested information for the display could include herons. Bor added she spoke with Perry and Kittleson, and inquired if anyone could contact Andy VonDuke, to see if he could bring his radio collars for the raccoons. Asleson stated he would contact Mr. VonDuke. • Chair O'Dea inquired about the timing of the Petting Zoo. 5 DRAFT MINUTES
