TEP Minutes — July 29, 2004 Attending: Brad Wozney, BWSR; Paul Diedrich, DNR-Fisheries; Terry Mauer & John Anderson, City Engineers; Yvonne Berner, ACOE; Bill Bronder, SWCD; Terry Jeffrey, Schoell & Madson; Christine Cook, O.T.; Ray Baird, O.T.; Steve Rohlf, City of Elk River River Park The wetland delineation for this project was rejected by Yvonne because the boring locations are not shown in relation to the wetlands. Terry Jeffery informed her that he would provide a map with the borings. A question was asked as to whether or not the ditch in the NE corner was connected to Holzem's property. The wetland area A-2 (NE wetland) is proposed to be filled for a main-road access to CSAH 40. The wetland is inundated with reed canary grass. The TEP requested that the slopes be 4:1 if allowed, otherwise 3:1 since this will be a County road project with federal money. All storm drainage for the plat must be through storm ponds prior to discharging into the natural wetlands and all must have storm drainage running through them to ensure hydrology post development. Terry Jeffery will review to make sure this is the case. The wetland area A-1 fill request was rejected since the purpose is for an interior road and lots could be moved to eliminate the need for fill. The wetland areas A-3 and A-4 fill requests were accepted. The wetland area A- 5 was accepted but the TEP will not accept the M-9 mitigation since it will be degraded by the reconstruction of CSAH 40 and new homes. The wetland mitigation areas M-9, 10, & 11 were not accepted by the ACOE as new wetland credit since they serve no function. The TEP requested that the north wetland have a 15 foot native prairie planting buffer in Outlot G an all sides of the wetland. The buffer must be a no-mow area with signage and be owned by the Homeowners Association. The wetland area A-6, a type 3, 4 wetland was not accepted. The trail can be moved over to avoid impacts. Mitigation area M-8 was accepted. Wetland area A-7 was rejected since the cul-de-sac doesn't need to have an island in the center. Wetland area A-8 was accepted but slopes should be at 3:1 or if needed, retaining walls. Wetland area A-9 was not accepted since the bridge alignment the City has been looking at to cross Trott Brook would be in that area. Mitigation areas M-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 will need to be reviewed once changes are made. The wetland (southwest) may have the ditches plugged for restoration for public value credit and maybe new value credit if needed. Terry Jeffery will contact
