within public rights-of-way or VBWD easements. Property Owner notifications regarding the construction
activity is the responsibility of the VBWD.

trees that will be disturbed as a result of the project with the exception of the 28th Street 73-inch arch

3. No significant trees are to be damaged or removed. Should any significant trees need to be removed
during construction, they must be clearly identified and reviewed by the City of Lake Elmo prior to
