Ms. Rachel Juba February 5, 2014 Page 2 The RCWD has recently modified their storm water management rules to allow: Irrigation using storm water to qualify as an infiltration strategy Regional infiltration through storm water irrigation or traditional infiltration/groundwater recharge strategies The ability to take credit for infiltration/storm water irrigation installed within a large drainage area, and apply the credit elsewhere within the drainage area in lieu of constructing individual infiltration areas like those included within the Fox Meadows preliminary development plans The City is currently partnering with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD), Oneka Ridge Golf Course, and the State of Minnesota through the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) to construct a storm water reuse facility within the golf course property. The facility will allow the golf course to utilize storm water runoff to irrigate the golf course, once construction is completed in the spring of 2014. The revised rules as outlined above will allow the City to take credit for the infiltration accomplished within the golf course, and apply them to the Fox Meadows development. The infiltration areas within the development could then be eliminated from the plans. City staff is currently working with the RCWD to develop a system for tracking and valuing the infiltration credits, and the particulars can be outlined within the Development Agreement for the first phase of the project. 2. Runoff from the existing 1250' Street is directed into the City's Well #6 property located on the south side of 1256h Street. This drainage pattern will continue following the paving of 125t" Street, which will include some minor grading and erosion control to be completed within the City property as part of the development project. 3. The applicant submitted a wetland delineation for the project, which has been approved by the City as the Local Government Unit (LGU). There is one wetland within the plat, and a wetland fill/replacement plan will need to he approved prior to filling the wetland. No other LGU approvals are necessary to move forward with the first phase of development. Roadways I. Street access will be provided by via 125"' Street, as well as making connections to the existing roadways within the Beaver Ponds South development. Traffic generated from this development, as well as a portion of the Beaver Ponds development, will use 125"' Street to gain access to Highway 61. There will be an increase in the volume of traffic using 125th Street compared to the current dead- end roadway. 2. The applicant is proposing to extend 125th Street as a rural—section paved roadway between Northern Pines and the west boundary of the proposed plat. The roadway would transition to an urban section at the west plat boundary line. The roadway segment located east of Northern Pines will be relocated slightly so that it is located in the center of the existing right-of-way. 3. The City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan includes the extension of 125th Street through the Oneka Ridge Golf Course property in the future if the property is ever developed. The plat for Fox Meadows includes sufficient right-of-way at the southwest corner of the plat to allow for reconfiguring the 125th Street/Fondant Trail intersection as necessary to allow future development.
