32 and retention basin. This pond will be surrounded by green spaces which will provide additional treatment of stormwater routed from parking lot areas through the buffer and into the stormwater treatment basins. As a condition of approval, the developer will be required to obtain a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit and a Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) permit. The NPDES is regulated by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. and includes guidelines and requirements that the developer will follow to reduce sediment discharge off the construction site. The RCWD reviews development and grading plans through their permitting process. The developer will be detailing the erosion control plans for the site through these permitting processes. k. Integration of Stormwater Management into Open Space Network: The open space network will serve as the location of an integrated stormwater management system that will connect through the site, which can be built up during the different phases of the redevelopment, as long as it is planned and well integrated as a whole. The redevelopment area will include an open space that will function as an integrated stormwater management system connected through the site. The network is not planned as an upfront implementation step, as is the central park but rather will be phased and integrated as the site develops, Where possible, stormwater will be kept above ground and open to the air, in ponds, fountains, and other water features that will allow for maximum penetration of surface water into the ground and maximum benefit as an amenity to existing and future development. 1. Site Planning/Building Characteristics: The NW Quadrant Redevelopment Plan included a Master Framework Plan to illustrate the overall vision for redevelopment of the area and to provide acceptable site planning and design principles and standards to guide the design of all features of the site and create a consistent character for the site that would be compatible with surrounding development. Building on the Master Framework Plan, the Village at St. Anthony includes a Design Framework Manual specific to this development site. A development of the size and nature of the Village at St. Anthony benefits greatly from possessing a number of governing design elements that identify each component of the project as being part of the same new neighborhood. These common features come in the form of related architectural treatments, streetscape elements, and site planning guidelines. This Manual sets forth the vision for the overall design and character of the Village at St. Anthony. The Manual contains guidelines for site design, architecture, streetscape, signs, lighting and landscaping that have guided the design of the Preliminary Development Plan and will continue to steer the implementation phases of development.
