All SWPPP violations will have a 24 hour correction period. After this the City will take action to correct inefficiencies. This may include red -tags, project shut - downs, and outside contract for work to make corrections. All expenses will be charged to the project. Tree Preservation A Tree Inventory is tabulated on Attachment 10. City code requires a tree preservation plan. That is the trees that are shown as "save" must have a written plan on how they will be saved. Fencing must be shown installed at a minimum of 1.5 Feet for every diameter inch of tree. This fence must be installed prior to soil disturbance and approved by the City. The City reserves the right to specify fence type. Generally a 4 -foot orange snow fence is adequate for tree protection. Penalties shall apply for trees lost or damaged in preservation areas. Trail The trail location is shown on Attachment 5. The trail is located too close to the wetland in lot 2. At least a 10 foot buffer is required. A 16 foot minimum buffer is preferable. In order to prevent damage to landscaped areas later, all "T" type trail intersections must be tapered, or "feathered out" to allow for maintenance equipment turns. • Lighting Lighting fixtures are shown on Attachment 19. It is unclear if the wall mount fixture lens conforms to the City standard. The fixture lens must have a flush mount lens. • Landscape Plan The landscape plan (Attachment 20) depicts a planting schedule of deciduous and evergreen screenings and accents. A planting schedule (more specific than coniferous and deciduous and ornamental) needs to be written and approved by the City as part of the approval project. The large parking lot shows a number of islands. A linear island dividing the parking lot, in a rain garden setting would better serve parking lot and surface water landscaping issues. The rain garden should include larger trees and formal native plantings. The parking lot should drain to this area. The plan should be approved by the City of Lino Lakes. Landscaping in suggested pipe removal areas should also be designed rain garden plans. Between the town homes and existing residential lots, rain gardens could if designed properly, as well as conifers or fence on the property line afford the required screening. Again, there needs to be more separation /space between existing residential and the town - homes. All surface water areas not formally planted, or exposed pond, infiltration or wetland areas should be planted with the City Native Seed mix by a contractor approved by the City. Contractors on the DNR Native plant contractors list would be suitable. A Contract should be signed to plant and maintain all native seed areas for a minimum of 3 years. This contract should include at least 1 burn after 3 years. All rain - gardens must be designed similar to the Maplewood low maintenance rain garden. A contract with
