Lino Lakes Elementary Renovation Lino Lakes Elementary School was originally built in 1957. This renovation project will result in an additional 4 classrooms totaling 7800sf to the building. There will also be a large gathering space at the front/south side of the building and an outdoor classroom to the west side of the building. Mr. Asleson introduced Nick Mantel with Louck's Enginee renovation.'' Grading Plan and Stormwater Management ,is in charge of the On the 19.99 acre site, a drainage area of about 6.01 acres was included in the site hydrological analysis. 1.34 acres of disturbed area is pervious area that will be replace to match existing conditions. The proposed site BMP's will consist of an infiltration basin for treatment, volume control and rate control prior to discharging to the wetland to the north. The reconstructed parking lot and the building addition will convey stormwater to the infiltration basin using a storm sewer pipe system. The proposed site contains 46.3% impervious surface area. Which includes the reconstructed portion of the parking lot and roof drains that are being captured by the storm sewer system. Ms. Kaufenberg inquired about the drainage of the impervious surface area and the presence of infiltration ponds. Mr. Mantel explained how the infiltration ponds will capture the required 1.1 inches of rainfall over the new/reconstructed impervious surfaces on the site and the downspouts from the building with a maximum drawn down time of 48 hours. The proposed site contains two drainage areas. One area is the area where the new infiltration pond will be placed. There will be a storm manhole directly upstream of the infiltration basin and will include a 3 foot sump and energy dissipater with skimmer for pretreatment. The other drainage area will flow offsite to the north. A stormwater maintenance agreement will be required. Soils The soil also meet the infiltration standards for infiltration ponds. That is, it is an assumed infiltration rate of 0.45 inches per hour based on the soil borings. DRAFT MINUTES Evironmental Board September 28, 2016 Page 3 Wetlands The project does not appear to be impacting any wetlands. Floodplain There is Zone A floodplain along the east side of the site but there are no impacts. Trees Preservation Recommend moving the Arbor Day trees. In order to save the Arbor Day trees from destruction, it is proposed to move these trees out of grading area Ms. Klebba asked if moving the Arbor Day trees is fusible Mr. Mantel said yes it has been mentioned by Marty and also the school district. They will be talking to the contractor about moving the trees to a safe location until the construction is done. Landscaping Proposed landscape plants (trees and shrubs) are all appropriate plant materials. Native seed mixes for the pond and upland areas must be approved by the city. Recommend a short native mix for the upland area. Ms. Andrzejewski motioned to forward the Lino Lakes Elementary School site plan to the Planning and Zoning Board and City Council with our recommendations and comments. It was seconded by Ms. Kaufenberg. Motioned carried 5-0. 6. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Birds in our Backyard Mr. Heiskary thought that it was a good presentation and nice to see extra people in the audience. Ms. Kaufenberg said it was very informative. B. Peltier Lake Drawdown, Update There has been two slabs of the dam removed, but now with the addition rain the lake has now risen to the top of the dam. Mr. Heiskary said that the shoreline is where the majority of the curly weed is saturated. So just to get the shore line exposed is great. DRAFT MINUTES Evironmental Board September 28, 2016 Page 4 Ms. Kaufenberg wanted to know if drawing down the lake is a yearly event Mr. Heiskary mentioned that this project will be watched and Anoka County will see how this project goes. Ms. Klebba — thought that the drawn down information should be posted on the city's web site. Mr. Asleson stated that if this draw down work's there will a big improvement with this lake and also with the Chain of Lakes. C. Recycling Updates Next recycling Saturday will be October 15. Mr. Sullivan inquired if the Recycling Saturdays continue all year. Ms. Jin answered that it does except for August because of Blue Heron Days Celebration. Also Organics Recycling now has 138 residents signed up in the program. 7. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Andrzejewski made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 7:53 p.m. Motion was supported by Ms. Kaufenberg. Motion carried 5 - 0. Respectfully ®fitted, Mary Fo Office DRAFT MINUTES ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD AGENDA ITEM 5A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson, Environmental Coordinator MEETING DATE: November 30, 2016 REQUEST: Review for Century Farms North 7th Addition APPLICANT: Lino Lakes Townhomes LLC OWNER: Gary Uhde PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This townhome project would complete the townhome buildout area of Century Farms. See Map. Century Farms site development was previously reviewed by the Environmental Board and comments and recommendations advanced to the City Council and implemented into the plan. Therefore this review is to simply look at the two remaining environmental issues; Landscaping, and Stormwater Pollution Prevention. Landscaping The Proposed Landscape Plan is attached. With any of the Rosacea family species there is always concern for disease. The proposed prairie fire crab is tolerant of rusts and bacterial fire -blight. The proposed Showy Mountain Ash is not, and fire blight attacks most plantings I have seen in the north metro area. Something else should be used in place of the Showy Mountain Ash if it is used. The Showy Mountain Ash is on the plant pallet of the Landscape Design page. Other species are ok. As with any landscape project, if sod is designed into the landscape, irrigation is required. A construction stormwater permit is required for this project. I have contacted Mr. Udhe to find out the status of this permit for Century Farms 7th Addition. Status must be documented before construction. The name, phone number, and certification of the SWPPP responsible person must be received by the city before construction begins. A weekly and post -rainfall inspection report must be received by email or other method or work will be stopped. A follow-up correction to all discrepancies must also be sent to the City on a weekly basis. Failure to recognize discrepancies and make corrections will 1 result in a stop work order for reevaluation of knowledge and tasks needed for NPDES compliance. Perimeter control and rock entrance must be installed prior to any work being done. The location of the SWPPP must be onsite.

Participate in Earth Day (April 23rd, 2016) 3. Participate in Blue Heron Days (August 20, 2016) 4. Recycling/Partner with Anoka County Recycling Resource Solutions to: • Utilize County Select Committee on Recycling (SCORE) and Local Recycling Development Grant (LRDG) Funds to the maximum extent possible to increase our recycling totals. • Work with local participating businesses on mandated business recycling through Anoka County and "Waste -Wise" staff. • Partner with our neighborhood groups to educate and start pilot projects to recycle organics. • Increase our volunteer base. • Increase services available to residents at the monthly Recycling Day event including additional paper shredding, events, hard drive destruction and the Bridging program and or other charity organizations. 1 • To meet or exceed our City recycling goal of 50 (1836 tons) percent or greater of our municipal solid waste. Find innovative ways to promote and encourage recycling as a city. Continue to look into ways for school facilities to reduce waste and increase recycling, and continue to enhance recycling efforts through grants from Anoka County Integrated Waste. 5. Cooperate with Rice Creek Watershed District and Vadnais Lakes Area Water Management Organization, and city staff to promote development that renews, preserves, and restores surface water, lakes, stream and wetlands through project review processes and public education. 6. Monitor any activity in the AUAR as well as other proposed development areas, focusing on the values that citizens of Lino Lakes have expressed in the 20/30 vision for our city and the unique ecological aspects of our wetlands, lakes and streams and subsurface waters, vegetation and wildlife populations. 7. Perform evaluation of past Environmental Board recommendations for development projects. Review a sampling of a variety of projects by on-site visits, discussion with city staff, and landowners, neighbors, on the outcomes of the board's recommendations. If necessary, submit a summary of significant findings resulting from the review in writing to the Community Development Director. 8. Support Conservation Development within the city through site review processes by incorporating The Resources Management System Plan components of the City Comprehensive Plan. The use of the planning documents within the Comprehensive Plan that enable Conservation Development include: • The Lino Lakes Handbook For Environmental Planning and Conservation Development, • The Minnesota Land Cover Classification System and Natural Resource Inventory for Lino Lakes • The Minnesota County Biologic Survey • The Lino Lakes Assessment of Existing Ecological Conditions and Management Opportunities • The Lino Lakes Handbook For Environmental Planning and Conservation Development • The Minnesota DNR Regionally Significant Ecological Areas Assessment, Rare Wildlife and Plant Models built by the City • The Lino Lakes Parks, Natural Open Space/Greenways, and Trails System Plan, • The I -35E Corridor Alternative Urban Area -wide Review (AUAR) assessment • The Rice Creek Watershed District/Lino Lakes Resources Management Plan 2 • The Assessment of Development, Suitability and Natural Resources Conservation Opportunities study, • The City of Lino Lakes Local Surface Water Management Plan 9.
