• Agenda Item 5A Environmental Board Meeting Date: November 30 , 2005 Topic: Pomp's Tires/7385 Apollo Ct/Site Plan Review Background: Pomp's Tires is located to the North of Summit Fire in the Apollo Business Park. Please see Attachments 1 and 10. The General Site Plan for this area was reviewed at the June 28, 2000 Environmental Board Meeting in conjunction with Marmon Keystone. Pomp's Tires has CAPROC with the Rice Creek Watershed District at this time based on the original design and permit for this area. The application shows this as a 30,870 square foot building with a maximum height of 15 to 22 feet on 8.9 acres of land, with a proposed 5.9 acres (66 %) impervious. Analysis: Significant Resource Considerations II/ The MLCCS is mapped on Attachment 11 for the Pomp's Tire site. The MLCCS shows much of the area as "Long grasses on upland soils." The NW corner includes "Saturated non - native dominated vegetation, Aspen forest saturated, and Cattail marsh." There are no National Heritage issues associated with this site. This includes the City Blandings Turtle modal. There is no flood plain on the site. Landscape There should be no exporting or importing of soils from this site without City Approvals. Wetland soils should be stockpiled and used in the constructed wetland and infiltration areas. All infiltration, management pond and surface water swale areas should be planted with a City specified native seed mix (not the MNDOT specification). A City approved contractor should be hired to install, and maintain the native plant areas for a minimum of 3 to 5 years. Seed verification should be made with the City Environmental Coordinator prior to planting. All turf areas should be irrigated. All turf areas should have top soil thoroughly tilled into the subsoil as deep as possible. This should be a check list item that is inspected by environmental prior to sodding. There is no indication on the plan as to what will be growing in the open area to the south. If this area is going to be mowed like a sodded landscape is mowed, than it should be shown as sod with irrigation. Otherwise this are should be seeded with the City native upland seed mix and placed under a 3 -5 year initial start-up contract with
