PART THREE: General Project/Site Information If this application is related to a delineation approval, exemption determination, jurisdictional determination, or other correspondence submitted prior to this application then describe that here and provide the Corps of Engineers project number. Describe the project that is being proposed, the project purpose and need, and schedule for implementation and completion. The project description must fully describe the nature and scope of the proposed activity including a description of all project elements that effect aquatic resources (wetland, lake, tributary, etc.) and must also include plans and cross section or profile drawings showing the location, character, and dimensions of all proposed activities and aquatic resource impacts. The applicant (MWF Properties) proposes to construct a 45 unit multi -family complex on the 3 acre commercial property portion located adjacent to Rosemary Way in the south part of Frenchman 1' Addition, Outlot B. The north part of Outlot B contains a wetland mitigation area created for the purposes of providing in -advance wetland mitigation for the street construction and for unavoidable wetland impact which would occur as the commercial lots along Rosemary Way in the Frenchman 15t and 2"d Additions became developed. Presently, 18,479 square feet of wetland credit, approved by the state under WCA, remains for future development at this site. The need for the project reflects in the demand for multi -family housing in the peripheral suburbs of the City of Hugo. The City has water, sewer and a vast network of city/county road that connect to 1-35E. This makes the commute (approximately 20 miles or less) to the Twin Cities metropolitan area a more favorable opportunity for potential renters than Anoka or Chisago Counties. Therefore, based on the locality of the development, the infrastructure, and the need/demand for this type of housing, the applicant believes the purpose and need would meet the renter's perspectives.
