will consist of site grading for the house pad area and the proposed driveway.Construction is expected to take place in late summer and into the fall of 2017 and will continue until fully built. A Certificate of Survey by Acre Land Survey for the site depicts the proposed house location and driveway as well as the permanent impact area for the driveway and is included in Appendix A. Permanent impacts to Wetland B will involve filling 330 sq. ft. of Fresh Wet Meadow in order to safely grade/construct a driveway access for the proposed home.The amount of permanent impact to Wetland B is small enough to qualify for a de minimis exemption and will not require mitigation. The need for this permanent impact is based on Sherburne County Highway Department requirements for providing a safe elevation for the end of the driveway where it enters onto 221'St. NW. Currently, the access point to 221st St. NW is located right along the property boundary with the adjacent property and at a slope that during winter months and under icy conditions can limit the safe entry onto 221st St. NW.The section of 221st St. NW along the survey area is a road with a speed limit of 55 m.p.h.The highway department is requesting Parent Builders to move the driveway access off of the property line which pushes the proposed driveway into Wetland B.In order to provide the request of the highway department to move the driveway access off the property line and to grade the driveway at a safe elevation,the driveway will need to be moved off of the property line by 12'to the east.This is the minimum distance from the property line in order to place the proposed driveway at an elevation with a 3:1 slope that will allow traffic to enter on or off of 221St St. NW safely.
