• <br />• <br />• <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 6A <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />MEETING DATE: April 27, 2015 <br />TOPIC: Resolution No. 15-45, Granting Wetland and Buffer Easement to <br />RCWD and Approving Wetland Buffer Maintenance Agreement, <br />Lino Lakes Fire Station <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />INTRODUCTION <br />Staff is requesting City Council approval to grant a wetland and buffer easement to the Rice Creek <br />Watershed District along with authorization to enter into a wetland buffer maintenance agreement <br />with the District. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The Lino Lakes Fire Station property includes wetlands located within a Wetland Management <br />Corridor (WMC) as established in the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) rules. The <br />proposed project avoids wetland impacts with the exception of access points off of Centerville <br />Road and Birch Street. The City has two permit applications currently being reviewed by the <br />RCWD. The Final Site Drainage Permit was approved by the RCWD on Wednesday, April 22 <br />with conditions. Staff is anticipating that the second permit, which is for the turn lane <br />improvements and wetland alteration, will be considered by the RCWD board of Managers in <br />May. The Wetland Alteration permit is necessary to connect the internal roadway to Birch Street <br />and Centerville Road. Emergency vehicle access directly to Birch Street is provided by a third <br />access. <br />One of the conditions, in accordance with district rules, requires the dedication of an easement <br />over the wetlands and surrounding buffer as well as execution of a buffer maintenance <br />agreement. The easement preserves the wetland area and provides the RCWD with the right to <br />enter the easement area to monitor, modify and maintain hydrological and vegetative conditions. <br />The City has included a provision to allow roadway access across the western most wetland <br />upon approval of the wetland alteration permit. The RCWD is reviewing this language and it is <br />subject to modification. Any proposed changes will be addressed at the City Council meeting. <br />The associated buffer maintenance agreement addresses ongoing maintenance requirements <br />within the buffer area. Essentially, as is common practice, the buffer area will be maintained by <br />the City in a natural state. <br />
