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 /> • <br /> DNR Information:612-296-6157, 1-800-766-6000 • TTY:612-296-5484. 1-800-657-3929 <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer ti <br /> Printed on Recycled Paper Containing a <br /> ` <br /> Who Values Diversity i Minimum of 10%Post-Consumer Waste <br />
