• Agenda Item 5A Environmental Board Meeting Date: October 26, 2005 Topic: JADT /Lino Lakes Commercial Center /Sheet Metal Workers Credit Union/ Preliminary Plat Site Plan Review Background: The Sheet Metal Workers (SMW) Federal Credit Union has submitted plans for a building on the JADT site. The Environmental Board did a review for the JADT site in 1998. There were no specific individual site plans reviewed at that time. At that time the surface water plan for JADT was reviewed and approved by the RCWD. SMW is located on Lot 1, Blk 1 of the JADT 2nd Addition Plat. The SMW parcel is 2.756 acres in size. A cover letter from HTG Architects is included as Attachment 13. This site is located between the Wells Fargo Building now under construction and the multi- tenant building with Subway in it. Analysis: Lot Statistics • The lot area developed is 2.72 acres. There is 50.2% impervious cover or 1.36 acres and 49.8 % pervious cover or 1.35 acres. • Surface water TKDA will be reviewing the Stormwater Management Plan site for conformance to the previously accepted plan. Landscape The submitted landscape plan (Attachment 6) should be compared to the previously accepted plan of September 18, 2003 (Attachment 9) for conformance. This is important because the 2003 plan was the agreed upon minimum number of tree replacements on this site. The ponds at predevelopment were entirely wooded. Please note that there is now a retaining wall (Attachment 3 & 4) in the new landscape plan. The tree replacements of the 2003 plan must and can be accomplished by using the sloped areas of the pond. Species in the plan should conform to the species selected in the approved 2003 plan. Bur Oak is the selected tree species along Apollo Drive, therefore Bur Oak should be planted on Apollo Drive along lots 2 and 3. The landscape plan should show a ground cover plan as demonstrated in the 2003 plan. That is, the ponds should show the area planted with the City native seed mix sod areas should be shown and irrigation shown in all the sod areas. The seed mix labels must be verified by the City before seeding begins. The developer should hire a landscape company knowledgeable and experienced in the installation and maintenance of native seed mixtures. This landscape company should be hired for a minimum of three to five years and be an approved company to manage
