ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD MEETING JULY 25, 2007 should not be presented to the board. Mr. Asleson stated that there are many unanswered questions on this project. Mr. Tom Schutte from Azure Properties addressed the board. His proposal is to develop property in the AUAR area of Lino Lakes. He has submitted documentation to Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) several times to address wetlands issues on the site. He explained how the driveway had been proposed south of the bank to miss the wetland area. He stated the RCWD liked the idea and MNDOT stated there needed to be more of a separation. Ms. Bor asked if Mr. Schutte has attended any of the AUAR meetings. He stated that he had attended all of them. He stated Mr. Smyser listed his application is lacking geotechnical information and therefore incomplete. He stated Mr. Smyser did not state he was lacking information because of AUAR information and water infiltration. Mr. Asleson stated we should not go any further as we need to address the missing information as it pertains to the AUAR issues. Mr. Asleson stated this information is mandatory. Mr. Asleson discussed how much water is allowed to leave this site. Mr. Asleson stated that there is a certain amount of water that runs off the site now. Then you have development with impervious ground that will create more runoff. Ms. Bor stated the property drains directly into the RCWD. She stated the information we need is simply not in the report. Ms. O'Dea stated the board is not saying we don't want this project, what the board wants is the frame work from the AUAR. Ms. Brouillet suggested Mr. Schutte's engineers should come in to the City and meet with Mr. Asleson and Mr. Studenski, City Engineer. Ms. Bor personally apologized to Mr. Schutte as he stated he did not know the Environmental Board existed. Mr. Schutte and Mr. Asleson discussed where Piezometers are located throughout the city. The Environmental Board recommends that this project should go no further until documentation addressing mitigation statements of the AUAR have been submitted to the City. Motion by Mr. Brown seconded by Ms. DeHaven. Motion carried unanimously. C. Blue Heron Days Parade — Ms. Brouillet will check with Sara Norman, former Board member, to see if she has the banner from last year for the parade. D. Updates — Mr. Asleson presented updates on the Blue Heron colonies and local feeding Osprey. 7. ADJOURN 4 DRAFT MINUTES • • •
