ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING OCTOBER 26, 2005 Chair O'Dea asked for clarification if the dashed lines were proposed development. Bauman questioned if it was designated, so they would not put in fields. Asleson responded the proposed development was for playground equipment, but no fields. If it did include fields, the plan would come back to the Board. Grundhofer inquired if all the trees were removed from the site. Asleson noted that not all the trees were gone. Grundhofer questioned if the Board could request that they put in more trees. Asleson answered the trail system was nice, and explained that portion of the plan. Grundhofer noted that the crab apple variety was non - bearing, but included flowers. She asked for clarification if the islands in the parking lot were sodded, and could they plant rain gardens in those areas. Asleson responded that rain gardens could only be used in the depressional areas. Bor made a motion to recommend approval including staff recommendations and the recommendation of the Board: • No importing or exporting of soils without City approval. Bauman seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. NPDES Education/Dawn Dubats/RCWD This item was tabled to a future meeting of the Board. B. Stoneybrook Asleson noted it took two weeks to remove debris left in the conservation easement. They wanted to disk cut the seeds into the soil, and not till it. The City was obtaining the appropriate slopes for the ponds. Some signage was missing. In the spring, they would go to the county to GPS the areas. A homeowner association representative wanted the site completed before the association assumed responsibility for the site. Chair O'Dea inquired if signs the same size as the posts were adequate. Asleson responded that it did make them non - intrusive. He was encouraged by several calls of residents wanting to protect the buffer areas. 4 DRAFT MINUTES • • •
