cElk) Memorandum River To: Planning Department From: Environment Date: May 7, 2015 Subject: Site Plan Review Meeting- May 8, 2015 The Environment Department has reviewed the application(s) listed below and has the following comments: P 15-03 Bodner 9. My only concern is to avoid cutting trees extensively this time of year. No Oak trees may be cut until after June to avoid Oak Wilt spread. SP 15-04 United Methodist Church 1. There a 3 trees currently in the middle of the parking lot located in a vertical line that are not listed as being removed on the plans but are shown to be removed. 2. Could a stormwater outfall be added to the east side of the rain garden from the existing drive way at 1215 4'. V 15-07 Washington Street Investors/Hidde 1. The 25 foot buffer strip is in place in order to protect the wetland characteristics and functions as well as assure that structures can withstand the ebb and flow of natural wetlands. Encroaching within this buffer is not intended to be allowed per city ordinance. The 25 foot setback is strictly enforced. 2. The variance is actually for the 20-foot wetland buffer strip setback as well which does not allow for structures. This is basically two variances in one. 3. If the deck was a normal part of the townhome design, then it should have been included with the original plan for the townhome construction. 4. Wetland Buffer signs must be placed along the wetland buffer. The homeowner must be aware that they are not to mow, clear, or remove vegetation within the buffer, even though it is under their deck. 5. It would be recommended to minimize the impact (10 feet out instead of 12 feet for example).
