12 As a result, while two wetlands are located the Property, the Project will not impact either resource. In accordance with VBWD past approvals, the Project does propose minimal sitting within the 50-foot wetland buffer, but has confirmed the necessary buffer replacement requirements and will coordinate approval of such buffer impacts directly with VBWD. Based on initial feedback received by VBWD, the access road and electrical pads will not be located in the wetland buffers. PUBLIC WORKS At the suggestion of Mr. Ben Prchal, former City Planner, a concept Site Plan was submitted to Mr. Jack Griffin, PE, City Engineer, in May 2021 for review of the proposed access drive. Mr. Griffin provided his preliminary findings via a Memorandum dated June 1, 2021, which was provided to the Applicant. The Project, as proposed, complies with three of the four preliminary findings, including prohibiting access via Lake Elmo Avenue, observing the City Comprehensive Plan right-of-way setback of 60 feet from centerline of 50th St. N, and specifying that the portion of the Project’s access driveway to be located within the public right-of-way be paved per City ordinance. The fourth finding states, “Minimum spacing from the intersection with Lake Elmo Avenue for a private driveway should be 420 feet to provide for a future right turn lane at Lake Elmo Avenue.” Following conversations with Mr. Griffin and in order to avoid impacts to the delineated wetland and wetland buffer located along 50th St. N, the project is proposing the access driveway be located approximately 269 feet from the intersection, as shown in the Site Plan. FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION The Applicant confirmed via the Federal Aviation Administration’s (“FAA”) Notice Criteria Tool that the proposed project does not require notice to be given to the FAA under CFR Title 14 Part 77.9. Further, the Applicant prepared a glare analysis for the project using the FAA’s approved, third-party vendor, Forge Solar, developed by the Sandia National Laboratory and widely considered the industry standard. The analysis indicated that the Project will have “No glare predicted” with the Project’s current location and design to the 18 adjacent and nearby residences analyzed.
