Cyphers Logistic Park AUAR 12 March 2022 <br />7. Cover Types <br />AUAR Guidance: The following information should be provided: <br />• A cover type map, at least at the scale of a USGS topographic map, depicting: <br />o Wetlands (identified by Circular 39 type) <br />o Watercourses (rivers, streams, creeks, ditches) <br />o Lakes (identify public waters status and shoreland management classification) <br />o Woodlands (break down by classes where possible) <br />o Grassland (identify native and old field) <br />o Cropland <br />o Current development <br />• An “overlay” map showing anticipated development in relation to the cover types. This map <br />should also depict any “protection areas,” existing or proposed, that will preserve sensitive <br />cover types. Separate maps for each major development scenario should be generally <br />provided. <br />The AUAR s tudy area covers approximately 190 acres of predominantly agricultural land. <br />Approximately 7.4 acres is partially developed with the Lake Elmo Public Works building at the northeast intersection of Ideal Avenue N and 34th Street N . Existing cover types within the AUAR <br />study area are listed in Table 2 and shown on Figure 7 and were determined by reviewing aerial photography and land cover classification maps. The National Wetland Inventory identifies five freshwater emergent wetlands and three freshwater ponds within the AUAR s tudy area. <br />Table 2 : Cover Types <br />Cover Type Existing (acres) Scenario 1 (acres) Scenario 2 (acres) Scenario 3 (acres) Scenario 4 (acres) <br />Agriculture 139.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 <br />Wooded/Forest 21.3 0.0 0.0 0.0 9.9 <br />Lawn/Landscaping 16.8 62.0 64.2 54.2 115.1 <br />Impervious Surface 5.4 105.2 103.0 113.0 54.5 <br />Wetland/Pond 5.2 20.5 20.5 20.5 8.2 <br />Total 187.7 187.7 187.7 187.7 187.7
