Along with the credit cost there is a withdrawal and stewardship fee required on all wetland credit purchases. These fees total $1,445.22 paid to the State of Minnesota. In total the cost of wetland replacement for this project will be $70,052.22. ($68,607 to the bank owner and $1,445.22 to the State of Minnesota).

I.1 Approve Resolution Authorizing the Preparation of Feasibility Report for the 121st Street/Acres of Bald Eagle Project In February, City Council reviewed the Acres of Bald Eagle sketch plan (Drengson Subdivision) and provided the development team feedback.

The development involves the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain to the site and will also require the paving of 121st Street, which is currently a gravel roadway. Considering the existing parcels along 121st Street are served by individual well and septic systems, staff felt it was important to determine whether there was interest from the adjacent landowners to provide sewer and water to their parcels as well. Council directed staff to schedule a neighborhood meeting. The neighborhood meeting was held on April 6th, 2021. Staff presented the proposed development and how adjacent properties could receive sewer and water service as part of a public improvement project. Staff had received positive feedback from the adjacent property
