• • • ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 26, 2005 Asleson stated the revised Landscape Plan was so recent it did not make it into the packet. He added that originally it was agreed that they would plant one tree for each tree lost, they have now agreed to three trees planted for every tree lost. Grundhofer inquired about trash collection. Would the trees nearby be impacted by the trucks. Mr. Bergoine indicated they had planned for a three sided enclosure, and were planning to carefully plant and trim the nearby trees to ensure survival. Asleson stated the developers should consult with their hauler to ensure the recycling and trash enclosure was adequate and easy to use. Mr. Bergoine indicated they had already submitted their plan and had begun the dialogue. Grundhofer asked if the lighting went beyond the property line. Chair O'Dea reviewed the recommendations of the Board: • No importing or exporting of soils without City approval. • The Sheet Metal Federal Credit Union has agreed to replace three oak trees that need to be removed from the proposed island. Replace them on a 3:1 basis with trees of the City's choice and two inches or larger in diameter. • Reduce perking to the minimum, if possible. • Use pervious pavement, if possible. • Identify snow removal of impervious surfaces. Grundhofer made a motion to recommend approval with the above recommendations from the Board and staff recommendations. Bauman seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. B. The Village No. 3/YMCA/Preliminary Site Plan Review Asleson reviewed the background and analysis. He indicated he should have included the recommendation of "No importing or exporting soils without City approval." He noted it had been surveyed. Since the survey, the storm had taken some additional trees down that should be noted and removed. Chair O'Dea expressed concern about the number of parking spaces. Asleson responded that the Board could recommend that they use pervious pavement where possible. Chair O'Dea inquired if more windows could be put in on the South and Southeast side of the building because the view was so beautiful. Asleson said it was a good recommendation, but they had been working on it for years, and were firm in their plans in several areas. The City encouraged them to use recessed areas, but they declined. 3 DRAFT MINUTES
