Neither one <br />appears to impact the DNR protected waters on site. <br />Conceptual PUD Plan - D.W. Jones, Wetland 62 -258 <br />The project will create a high degree of impervious surface. The plans do not show the <br />locations of any treatment basins. <br />Anthony Properties PUD, Wetland 62-171 <br />The DNR has determined an ordinary high water elevation of 895.8 feet. The site plan <br />does not show enough topographic detail to determine if encroachment will occur. The <br />wetland delineation shows "bottom 894 -895 feet." DNR permit rules prohibit <br />development fills below 895.8 feet. <br />On both of these projects we support the city's buffer requirements of 100 feet. If encroachment <br />is allowed, additional planting should be considered. The buffer should remain unmowed and <br />natural. If enhancement of the buffer is allowed, native species of grasses and wildflowers should <br />be considered. <br />The following comments are general and apply to all proposed developments: <br />a. Appropriate erosion control measures should be taken during the construction <br />period. The Minnesota Construction Site Erosion and Sediment Control Planning <br />Handbook (Board of Water & Soil Resources and Association of Metropolitan and <br />Soil and Water Conservation Districts) guidelines, or their equivalent, should be <br />followed. <br />DNR information: 612-296 -6167.
