water from the building and parking area is routed to the wetland indirectly through the proposed rain garden (for example, a connection to the wetland via overflow channels or another approved method). This may entail grading the buffer setback area to create a small berm to ensure storm water is not directly discharged to the wetland and to route the water to the rain garden. o In addition, the wetland delineation for the plat should be verified by a certified wetland delineator and City Environmental Staff to ensure that wetland boundaries are not breached or impacted during the grading process to create the rain garden prior to work being conducted in the area. Erosion control measures (i.e. silt fence) should be installed between the wetland boundary and the area to be graded as a safety measure as well. With the potential of grading into the 20' wetland buffer setback comes the potential for complete tree removal in the area. Oak wilt is a serious disease, which has severely affected oak trees in Sherburne County (and Elk River, specifically). Staff recommends that every precaution to preserve trees is implemented. Staff further recommends that any necessary oak tree removal is conducted prior to March 3150 or after July 15~' to minimize the potential for oak wilt infestation in the area. • It was noted that trash collection and dumpsters are located inside the underground parking garage. As a reminder, the trash collection area should be large enough to contain both waste and recycling containers for the complex. Multiple dwelling properties are required to include a minimum of bi-weekly collection of recyclables in the contract for refuse collection.
