OPEN MIKE Mr. Sullivan declared Open Mike at 6:37 p.m. Mr. Sullivan closed Open Mike at 6:38 p.m. VII. ACTION ITEMS – A. Direct Bore (502 and 510 Lilac Street) – Conditional Use Permit This is a request for a Conditional Use Permit for a small family owned underground directional drilling company. The application has no significant environmental changes before and after the project. The vast majority of this application involves zoning issues. Because of that, there is no recommendation at this time. VIII. DISCUSSION ITEMS A. Resource Inventory – Mr. Asleson presented a report on what is included the Resource Inventory that we should be using to help the Environmental Board make recommendation for the action items that come before the board. In the Resource Management Plan is the Wetlands Preserves Corridor, unique wetlands, rare plant communities, Blanding turtle area, Blue Heron nest count, drinking water service management area, tree inventory that includes diseases like oak wilt and emerald ash borer. Ms. Holmes brought up that when there is a city project introduced to the Environmental Board, she likes that Mr. Asleson has headings in the report that highlights these items. The Resource Management Plan is available on-line B. Interests/Goals Environmental Board August 28, 2019 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Sullivan would like to send out an email about his interest and goals. And would like the other board members to do the same. C. Recycling Updates Mr. Kvendru reported that from Blue Heron Days 16 pounds of organics and 41 pounds of recycling was collected. The volunteers did not find much organics in the garbage. One thought that organics was down was because people were eating most of their food. Our 2019 goal of recycling and organics from Anoka County is 2,240 tons and for the months of January – June the total was 1,043 tons. Recycling Saturday should see an increase as it has in the past. With residents cleaning up before winter. There are more issues at organics compost sites. Mr. Kvendru will add signs stating “No Plastic” signs. Ms. Nelson mentioned that people are using the containers for garbage not for organics. Maybe move the garbage can next to organics. Ms. Kaufenberg suggested a sign that catches people attention into being aware of what is organics. Ms. Kaufenberg would like to see how to get businesses to volunteer in recycling and then we could acknowledge that business. D. City Newsletter, October 15 (Articles Due Date) Mr. Asleson stated there is always an article of Stormwater information in every newsletter. Mr. Sullivan suggested an article of 10 things to help compost, organics, etc. Ms. Kaufenberg would like to more information out to the public about organics, recycling etc. Ms. Nelson was wondering sending out flyers and then wondering how they heard about the program for those that are using the organics bags. Ms. Holmes was wondering about putting a flyer in the water bill. E. Environmental Updates from Environmental Board Members Environmental Board August 28, 2019 Page 4 DRAFT MINUTES Mr. Sullivan attended the year-end recycling meeting in Anoka County and he has adopted a street drain. F. Blue Heron Parade The VFW composted organics last year but not this year. Could have gotten a lot more organics but the VFW is under a new manager from last year. Mr. Sullivan thought the celebration went pretty well. Mr. Kvendru had a great idea and put the banner out front. VIIII. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Andrzejewski made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 8:00 p.m. Motion was supported by Ms. Kaufenberg. Motion carried 6 - 0. Respectfully submitted, Mary Fogarty City of Lino Lakes 1 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson, Environmental Coordinator MEETING DATE: September 25, 2019 REQUEST: Stern Addition 6820 West Shadow Lake Dr. APPLICANT: James & Sheryl Stern PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The project consists of a new lot that will be created by splitting a lot with an existing residence located at 6820 West Shadow Lake Drive. The total gross area is 0.98 acres, with .07 acres of existing wetlands. The property is currently zoned R-1X (Single Family Executive). The project is in a Shoreland Management Overlay District. The property is in MUSA. Lot area 1 (future home sit) is 20, 832 square feet. Lot area two (existing home site) is 21, 925 square feet. The percentage of impervious is 18%, and 19.8 % respectively. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS Soils The soils consist of Zimmerman fine sands and closer to the lake, Beach Sand. Land Cover The land cover on this lot is classified as 11% to 25% impervious cover with deciduous trees. Significant Resources/Wetlands The Lake is significant. Wetlands on the site are significant. Both must be protected. There are no National Heritage points on this site, or other local resources indicators of rare species. Wetlands There are three wetlands identified on the site. Wetlands total .12 acres. Rice Creek Watershed is reviewed the wetland delineation for this site and approved it. There are no wetland impacts proposed. 2 Flood Plain There must be compensation for proposed floodplain. There are 38 cubic yards of flood plain loss and a proposed 39 yards of compensatory floodplain. The mitigation of this loss is proposed in a constructed mitigation pond. Tree Preservation A Tree Inventory was submitted. There are 8 trees proposed for removal in the construction areas for the house and the mitigation pond. Adjacent trees to the disturbance areas should be protected with a barrier. ANALYSIS Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Reshenau Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake with an ordinary high water elevation of 883.5. Setbacks from the Ordinary High Water elevation must be at least 75 feet on a sewered recreational lake. The proposed subdivision is in a Shoreland Management Overlay District. With regards to this, the overlay district is a statutory requirement to regulate the development of land along lake shores. The purpose of the Overlay District is to protect surface water quality, near shore habitat, and shoreland aesthetics. Shoreland Alterations are regulated in a Shoreland Management area. For instance, The removal or alteration of natural vegetation, except for agricultural and forest management uses shall be restricted to prevent erosion into protected waters, to consume nutrients in the soil and to preserve shoreland aesthetic. Removal of natural vegetation in the Shoreland Overlay District is allowed subject to the following standards: 1. Clear cutting of natural vegetation is prohibited. 2. Limited clearing of trees and shrubs and cutting, pruning and trimming of trees are allowed in the District. The maximum amount of impervious allowed per lot is 30%. The lots meet the requirement. An NPDES permit is not needed for this site. A stormwater management plan is needed, and must be submitted. The submittal shows silt fence around the wetland basin 3 Stormwater discharge rates must not change for the site. Stormwater quality is proposed with an impervious disconnect. In other words, drain pipes from house are not piped to the lake, but allowed to flow over a vegetated area. The DNR standards for shoreland should be applied, including minimizing vegetation loss, and a buffer from the lake that must average 20 feet. Landscaping in this area would exclude sod-type grasses that are mowed. The property owner should submit a planting plan for alternative ground cover in this area. This could consist of native forbes and grasses, or where there are existing trees, a shade tolerant woodland seed mix, alternative no-mow lawn. A garden area based on design of Rice Creek Watershed, or Conservation District models are also acceptable. There are wetlands on the site. The wetlands will not be impacted. Wetlands on the site must be protected. There is a proposed 0.19 acres of land disturbance. An erosion control plan is required. Wetlands on the site are shown with silt-fence for a BMP. Flood plain mitigation is shown as a created basin on the downslope side of the wetlands. A native seed mix is proposed for restoration of the created basin. There is a boulevard tree required for each site. The costs for these trees should be escrowed. RECOMMENDATION Recommend the approval of the subdivision plan at 6820 West Shadow Lake Drive with Staff recommendations and any further recommendations of the Lino Lakes Environmental Board.
