ISSUE
Lennar Corporation has requested a preliminary plat, planned unit development (PUD) master development
2
plan and rezoning to R-1 PUD: Low Density Residential Planned Development Plan named Meadow Ridge
to develop 153 single family homes on 79.5 acres. The applicant will apply later for final plat approval to
allow development of the first phase of the subdivision project. To facilitate the sale of the phased project,
the applicant is also requesting approval of a lot split.
JANUARY 23 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item at its January 23, 2018 meeting. The
Commission asked how the location of the trail along Street A fit with the rest of the planned trail system.
Staff clarified that the sidewalk with be located on the north side of the road so that it provides a
continuous path for walkers within the neighborhood. Another concern brought up by the Commission
was use of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process as a zoning tool to permit modifications to the
traditional R-1 standards, and it was asked whether the City should just add another zoning category that
reflects a desired small lot single family zoning.
The Commission received comments from the owners of properties in the vicinity of the site. Residents
who spoke asked about improvements to Akron Avenue, paying of assessments and the provision of
telecommunication utilities to the rural residential development immediately north of the site. The
Commission also received comments relating to storm water management and impacts to surrounding
properties. City Engineer Erickson indicated that the addition of storm water utilities within the proposed
development should alleviate runoff from the site onto neighboring properties. Michael Clements, a
Commissioner speaking as a resident, asked that the utilities provided to the three existing residential
properties located near the northeast corner of the site be sized to accommodate future subdivision of
those properties.
The Planning Commission unanimously moved to recommend approval of the agenda items as well as the
lot split with Commissioner Clements abstaining due to a financial conflict of interest.
SUMMARY
Lennar Corporation has requested a preliminary plat, planned unit development (PUD) master
development plan with rezoning to R-1 PUD: Low Density Residential Planned Unit Development,
for a residential development containing 153 lots on approximately 80 acres. The applicant is also
requesting a lot split to facilitate purchase of property consistent with proposed phasing. The preliminary
plat provides legal entitlement to a certain number of lots, but actual developable lots would not be created
until a final plat is approved. Lennar plans to develop the first phase of 65 lots in the southern and eastern
portions of the site that are able to be served by gravity sewer. The applicant is requesting the lot split to
allow them to purchase the first phase property, allowing the remainder of the property to be held by the
Cliffs. Final platting of the first phase will occur later this spring.

BACKGROUND
Legal Authority
Preliminary plats and lot split requests are quasi-judicial decisions meaning that the City Council is acting
as a judge to determine if the regulations within the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and
Subdivision ordinance are being followed. The Planned Unit Development Master Development Plan is a
rezoning activity and therefore is a legislative decision. Legislative decisions give the Council more
latitude, but consideration should be given to the ordinance criteria for granting of PUDs and the PUD
standards of other developments that have been approved in the vicinity. The recommended standards
are similar to the Prestwick Place PUD standards and, to a lesser extent, the Greystone PUD standards.
Alternative Urban Area -wide Review
The subject property falls within the CSAH 42/Akron AUAR that was adopted in 2007, updated in 2012,
and is currently being updated for renewal. An AUAR is an environmental review document that
anticipates development over a larger area. The benefit is that an environmental review is not required for
each development within the AUAR boundaries. The proposed development is located in an area
anticipated to develop as low density residential at a density of two to four units per acre. Property owners
within the AUAR boundaries must reimburse the City for the AUAR either at the time the AUAR is
adopted or when the property is developed. The current owners of the property had opted to defer
payment for the AUAR until development. The amount due is $5,043 ($67 per acre x 75.27 acres). This
acreage does not include rights of way along Akron Avenue as well as the portion of the preliminary plat
located in the northeast corner of the site that falls outside the AUAR.
General Subdivision Design
The area to be developed is approximately 75 acres and is located along the western side of Akron
Avenue, one half mile north of Bonaire Path. Access to the development is provided by a minor collector
that runs from Akron to a stub on the western border of the site. A second stub is created along the
southern border of the site to provide access to future development to the south. The street system
contains four cul-de-sacs. Use of cul-de-sacs versus connector streets is necessitated by the location of
onsite wetlands, required stormwater ponding and steep slopes. Right-of-way for the minor collector
should be 80’ with the interior roads 60’. Seventy-five feet of additional right of way is required for Akron
Avenue. Although Akron Avenue alignment is proposed to be modified in the future, the location of the
access point for the minor collector has been found acceptable to the County.
There are approximately 4.5 acres designated as outlots to contain wetlands and a future lift station.
Initially the preliminary plat placed stormwater ponds and steep slopes within outlots to be deeded to the
City. The City does not typically take stormwater ponds that are in-place for only localized project
drainage, which is the case in this project. While the City maintains the functionality of stormwater ponds,
the City does not want to take on additional maintenance responsibilities for upkeep of the site. This
policy results in a plat which has elongated lots to encompass ponding areas, although these lands are
restricted. Often the ponding areas can be put into an outlot that is owned by the HOA. Unfortunately,
the developer is not planning on a HOA. The property contains three pipeline easements. One 50ft.
easement runs along Akron Avenue on the eastern border of the site. Another 50ft. easement diagonally
crosses the southeast corner of the site. The third easement is 66ft. wide and diagonally crosses the
4
northwest corner of the site. The presence and locations of the pipelines restrict the flexibility of
subdivision design.
Planned Unit Development Master Development Plan with Rezoning
The subject property is currently zoned AG-Agriculture. The subdivision proposal is generally consistent
with recent small lot single family neighborhoods in the Akron Avenue area, which is inconsistent with the
standard R-1 zoning district standards. To facilitate the project, Lennar is requesting rezoning to R1 PUD-
Low Density Residential Planned Unit Development. The deviations from the R1 standards requested by
Lennar include a reduction in the minimum lot size from 10,000 square feet to 7,800 square feet, reduction
in the minimum lot width from 80 feet to 65 feet, reduction in the front yard setback from 30 feet to 25
feet, reduction in the side yard setback from 10 feet to 7.5 feet. Additionally, the applicant had requested
that the maximum lot coverage be considered for entire site as a whole given that the development as
proposed falls below 30%. This calculation would be difficult to administer as the project will be
constructed over many years and after completion, residents add hard surface at their individual lots.
Rather, staff is proposing that the lot coverage maximum be based on lot size similar to the standards in
other PUDs as follows: the maximum lot coverage of forty-five percent (45%) for the three lots that are
less than 8,250 square feet in size, forty percent (40%) for the twenty-nine lots that are between 8,250
square feet and 9,750 square feet, and thirty-five percent (35%) for the thirty-three lots that are between
9,750 square feet and 11,250 square feet. The remaining eighty-eight lots larger than 11,250 square feet
must adhere to the standard thirty percent (30%) maximum lot coverage. The standards proposed by the
applicant accommodate the proposed preliminary plat and are acceptable to staff.

Phasing and Lot Split
Development on the site will take place in at least two phases. The first phase will accommodate 65 lots in
the portion of the development that can be served by gravity sewer. This is located south of Street A and
east of Street E. Subsequent phases will proceed as the market will bear. The applicant has provided a
parcel for a future lift station to serve the needs of future development phases and the surrounding
subregional sewershed.
Included with this proposal is an application for a lot split. The applicant would like the opportunity to
purchase the property as development occurs, but is not ready to apply for a final plat of the first phase at
this time. Approving the lot split will allow the applicant to purchase the first phase will leaving the
remainder owned by the Cliffs. This differs from the method used in other developments of creating
separate outlots for each phase. Staff is supportive of the split, which creates two lots that conform to the
current and future zoning. Consistent with other lot division actions, staff is recommending dedication of
perimeter standard drainage and utility easements over both lots and dedication of Akron Avenue right of
way. These easements shall be recorded with the lot split. One change in the lot split is the
recommendation to provide all of Street A and the lift station site in the first phase. This means that the
City will be able to install the lift station and necessary utilities when needed for this project or other
surrounding lands, without having to wait for the second phase of the Meadow Ridge project. It is unlikely
that other developments will outpace build-out of this project but the City should try to obtain necessary
right-of-way and utility access so delays would not be realized.
5
Stree t and Sidewalk System
The applicant indicates the site will be served by seven streets including five cul-de-sacs. Staff had
requested the applicant make an effort to reduce the number of cul-de-sacs included in the street system.
Two cul-de-sacs were replaced with a single through street, Street E. Steep slopes and wetlands make
connectivity more difficult. At the onset of development the site will be accessed from Akron Avenue via
Street A, a minor collector running east-west midway through the site. A stub on the western terminus of
that street as well as a stub at the southern terminus of Street G will accommodate access to the site from
future development.
In addition to the internal street system, the development will be accessed via Akron Avenue, which is
scheduled for improvement in 2020. Part of the cost of the improvement to Akron will be borne by the
developer at a cost of $110/front-foot. The final design for the improvement of Akron Avenue has not
been finalized, but grading and utility work near Akron Avenue will need further coordination with the
County as both projects move forward.
The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the proposed development as it relates to the City’s
Trail and Sidewalk Plan. Parks and Recreation staff believes the development meets the City’s goal of
having connected neighborhoods. The plans submitted by the applicant indicate a trail along the southern
side of Street A that would connect to a future trail along Akron Avenue. Staff is recommending that a
sidewalk be added on the east side of Street E along lots numbered 195-198 as depicted in the plans
provided by the applicant. This would add continuity with the sidewalk along Street E located to the east.
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended a sidewalk be added to the south and west side of
Street E between lots 204 – 211 to avoid a single homeowner having to maintain such a long stretch of
sidewalk along the frontage of lot 195. While staff understands the concern, shifting the road to the other
side of the cul-de-sac means that the sidewalk is discontinuous for walkers and the recommendation is not
supported. The resolution reflects the sidewalk location on the east side of Street E, not supporting the
Parks Commission recommendation. The council should modify the resolution adding this condition if
they would like to relocate the proposed sidewalk:
Relocation of the sidewalk within the cul-de-sac of Street E from the frontage along lots 195-198 to the
frontage along lots 204-211
Wetla nds
Three wetlands have been identified on site. The largest wetland, located along the northern boundary of
the site, is a classified as both a shallow marsh and open water. It is 2.43 acres in size. The second largest
wetland is classified as open water, and it is located on the western boundary of the site. It is one-half acre
in size. Both of these wetlands are classified as Manage 1 in the Rosemount Comprehensive Wetland
Management Plan. This is the second highest classification, and it is based on the functional value of the
wetlands with regard to floral diversity, water quality protection, fish and wildlife habitat, and other
categories. A 50’ buffer zone must be maintained around Manage I wetlands. In addition, a 30’ structural
setback applies to properties adjacent to a wetland. A conservation easement shall be placed over all
wetlands and wetland buffers. A condition stating that markers indicating the wetland buffer must be
installed on all affected properties is included in the recommendation.
The third wetland, a seasonally flooded basin, will be impacted by the development. This wetland,
identified as Wetland D on plans provided by the applicant, has been part of agricultural production in the
past and is currently surrounded by agricultural fields. Wetland D, classified as a Management II wetland,
is of lower quality than the two other wetlands on site. Due to the elimination of the wetland, the City’s
comprehensive wetland management plan requires replacement to take place, preferably on site. If on site
mitigation is not feasible, siting within the same subwatershed area or replacement within the city are also
preferred. Typically, the least preferred method of replacement is through the purchase of credits from a
wetland bank, ideally within the same major watershed. The applicant had provided plans to mitigate the
6
impacted Wetland D on site, but this mitigation would be detrimental to the existing wetlands and
surrounding upland buffer, causing more grading and tree removal. Staff recommended that the applicant
pursue off-site mitigation for the replacement of Wetland D to preserve additional trees on the site as well
as limit impacts to the other existing wetlands. In the past, staff has supported trying to create a wetland
within the community. That process has not been overly successful and the developer doesn’t have access
to a lot of other land options in the community and therefore staff supports purchase of wetland credits.
Following conversations between staff and the applicant, a wetland permit application was submitted that
described the proposed offsite mitigation. Wetland D is 9,721 square feet in area. The City’s wetland
management plan requires replacement at a 2:1 ratio. This means the applicant must purchase credits
totaling 19,442 square feet. The available wetland banks are located in the southwest part of the state
within the Minnesota River watershed. Although staff would prefer seeing the credits purchased in a
wetland bank closer to Rosemount, all available banks nearby are dedicated to other developments.
A preliminary copy of the Wetland Permit Application is included in the Council packet for reference, but
Council will not take action on this item until the applicant submits a revised application clarifying the
exact location of the wetland banks from which mitigation credit will be purchased and following the 15
business day comment period.
Tree Preservation
The applicant has provided a tree preservation plan indicating how many trees are to be removed for site
development as well as which trees will remain. The applicant has indicated that trees on steep slopes and
surrounding the wetlands on the site will remain. Additionally, there is a line of trees along the western
border of the property, the majority of which will be saved. A total of 15,515 caliper inches of trees are
located on the site. The applicant is permitted to remove 25%, or 3,878 caliper inches without
replacement. A total of 9,322 caliper inches are proposed to be removed or 5,444” more than permitted
without replacement. This includes 107 caliper inches of heritage trees, which must be replaced at a 1:1
ratio. The rest of the caliper inches over the threshold must be replaced at a 1:2 ratio. The total number
inches to be mitigated is 2,722. There appear to be areas where additional trees can be saved. Staff is
recommending walking the site with the applicant to ensure that the location of fencing delineateing trees
to be saved is adequate to prevent damage to the root structures when the site is graded for development.
The applicant has provided a landscaping plan that meets the requirements of the City Code for one tree
on every interior lot and two trees on every corner lot. Additional trees are indicated on the collector
Street A as well as around the storm water retention ponds and the pipeline easements. Two hundred and
fifty-three trees (759 caliper inches) are required in addition to 2,722” of replacement trees as mitigation.
The landscaping plan provided by the applicant indicates a shortage of 941 caliper inches. If full
replacement cannot be conducted on site, the ordinance permits payment in lieu of replacement so that
tress can be planted in public spaces. The payment would be $94,100.
Total Inches On Site 15,515”
Inches Removed 9,322” (107” Heritage)
Removal Allowance 3,878”
Replacement Required 5,444” (including 107” Heritage)
Replacement Ratio 0.5/1.0
Inches of Replacement Required 2,829”
Total Inches Proposed 1,888” (short 941”)
Stormwater Management
Stormwater will be managed on site with three stormwater ponds. The area containing the ponds is
incorporated into the plat, similar to what has been done in other recent developments. The City’s project
7
engineer has reviewed the Stormwater Management Plan provided by the developer. Conditions included
in the Engineer’s Report for the Planning Commission have been addressed by information the applicant
provided following the Planning Commission’s review of this item. Particularly, the applicant was able to
provide documentation that discharge volumes to Wetland B and E will not increase as a result of the
development. An engineer’s memo dated February 20, 2018 is included in the attachments.
Utilities
The City’s utility plan indicates a lift station on the adjacent property to the west. Because the development
is occurring out of sequence, the city’s sanitary sewer plan is being modified to accommodate this project.
An outlot is provided on the western boundary of the site along Street A to accommodate the lift station.
The lift station will be located at a depth sufficient to serve the subregional area that would otherwise have
been served by the lift station to the west. This is a critical issue to the City as the lift station is being
relocated from the planned site to permit property development. The projected cost of the lift station is
approximately $550,000 higher than anticipated in the 2007 comprehensive plan. This cost increase, as
well as additional costs associated with utility modifications to permit development of this property, such
as force mains and gravity sewer extension will be borne by the developer. The property owner and
developer were made aware of the potential added cost for development prior to application with the final
costs defined by the proposed plat. Additionally, due to the construction depth of the regional lift station
and future extension of trunk utilities to the west, Lots 141 and 163 will be restricted from building
construction until such time the regional lift station construction is complete and the trunk utilities are
extended beyond the limits of the Meadow Ridge development.
Water will also be brought up to the site along Akron Avenue and serve the development via a 12” water
main located within Street A. The developer will be responsible for the equivalent cost of an 8-inch DIP
watermain. The construction cost for over-sizing and extra depth will be a City trunk fund expenditure
and serves the area beyond the current project. Staff is recommending that the developer extend service of
both sanitary sewer and water to the existing properties at 12523, 12605, and 12637 Akron Avenue.
Additional conditions are detailed in the Engineer’s Memo dated February 20, 2018.
CONCLUSION
Many of the issues associated with the plat primarily relating to provision of utilities, site grading, and tree
removal have been addressed by the developer without significantly impacting the preliminary plat as
recommended for approval by the planning commission. However, the provision of utilities is important
aspect of the project since the project entails modifications to the City’s adopted sanitary sewer plan. Staff
understands the Council’s desire to facilitate development and wants to be flexible with utility provision, so
long as the City costs are not greater than that initially intended by the adopted system plans.
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of the Preliminary Plat, Planned Unit
Development Master Plan with Rezoning and the Lot Split for Meadow Ridge.

6.b. Request by Lennar Corporation for the Approval of the Cliff Property Preliminary Plat, Planned Unit
Development Master Development Plan with Rezoning and a Lot Split. (18-03-PP, 18-04-PUD, & 18-08-LS)
Commissioner Clements recuses himself from this item because he is the realtor for the Cliff family.
Planner Nemcek gave a brief summary of the staff report for the Planning Commission.
Commissioner Mele stated that the trees are going to be preserved during grading. Nemcek stated that they would like to
maintain as many trees as possible. Mele inquired as to why they are required to have sidewalks on both sides of a
specific street. Nemcek stated that the specific cul-de-sac actually doesn’t have another sidewalk. It’s just located on one
side. Mele inquired why they are required to have a trail on a collector street instead of having off closer to the wetland.
Nemcek stated that the trail will eventually tie onto the trail of Akron and connecting onto a future developments trail.
Having the trail go towards a wetland would place another layer of impact onto the wetland.
Commissioner Kenninger stated that with the applicant short on trees would the applicant be willing to add trees along
Akron Ave.
Commissioner VanderWiel questioned if the variance is the reason as to why the applicant is applying for a PUD in the
R1. Nemcek confirmed that is correct. VanderWiel stated that the variance has been granted on two other occasions. In
the future would it make sense to establish another residential classification. Community Development Director
Lindquist stated that conversation has been had internally and that this topic may be brought to the Commission in the
future.
The public hearing opened at 8:37 pm.
Public Comments:
Kyle Wood, 1050 124th Court West, inquired with adding about 50 houses to this area is there any plans to pave Akron
Ave. Public Works Director Erickson stated that Akron Ave is a Dakota County road and that the County is in the
process of selecting a designer for the road and they plan in 2020 to pave the road from Bonaire to the Rosemount city
limits. Mr. Wood questioned if telecommunication utilities will improve with the development getting added. Lindquist
stated that the private companies may determine that it would be profitable for them to add their service in that area.
Mr. Wood questioned if there is a park planned for the future. Nemcek stated that there is a park planned just west of
the development.
John Remkus, 13040 Akron Ave, stated that during rain storms water will pool in the McMenomy property and that
needs to be remembered when designing the storm water and hard surfaces. Mr. Remkus questioned if there is a water
main currently in place. Nemcek stated that there is not one but that there will be one added. Mr. Remkus inquired as to
the cost of sewer and water to service the development.
Tim McDonnell, 1150 124th Court West, inquired for the city to add something in addition to R1 zoning instead of
continuing to make exceptions.
Michael Clements, 15747 Cicerone Path, questioned if the property where the storm water ponds are located on the east
side of the development will be owned by the property owner instead of the City of Rosemount, will there be a
conservation easement to protect the trees. Mr. Nemcek confirmed. Mr. Clements questioned who will pay for the water
main to be added to the three properties along the side of the development. Lindquist stated that it will be the cost of
the developer. Mr. Clements questioned if the water main will be through their backyards or coming up Akron Ave.
Lindquist stated that is dependent on the engineer. Mr. Clements stated that he would like to make sure that those three
properties are supplied with a large enough supply line for possible future development.
MOTION by Mele to close the public hearing.

MEMORANDUM
To: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director
Kyle Klatt, Senior Planner
Anthony Nemcek, Planner
Brian Erickson, City Engineer/PW Director
Mitch Hatcher, Project Engineer
From: Dan Schultz, Parks and Recreation Director
Date: February 13, 2018
Subject: Cliff Property Preliminary Plat
The Parks and Recreation Commission recently reviewed the development plans for the Cliff
Property Preliminary Plat and had the following recommendations:
PARKS DEDICATION
Because the City’s Parks Master Plan does not identify having a public park on this property, the
Parks and Recreation Commission recommended the City collect cash dedication in-lieu of land to
meet the parks dedication requirement for this development. The plan identifies 153 new units. The
parks dedication for 153 units is $520,200 ($3,400 per unit x 153 units = $520,200). The parks
dedication fees for each unit will be paid once a lot has gone through the final plat process.
SIDEWALKS and TRAILS
The Parks and Recreation Commission felt the proposed trails and sidewalks would meet the City’s
goal of having connected neighborhoods if the sidewalk walk on street E was located on the west
side of the street between lots 204 – 211.
Staff is recommending that the sidewalk on street E be added to the east side of the street along lots
195-198.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this memo.
MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 20, 2018

CC: Kim Lindquist, Community Development Director
Brian Erickson, Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Stacy Bodsberg, Planning & Personnel Secretary
FROM: Mitch Hatcher, Project Engineer
RE: Meadow Ridge - Preliminary Plat Review
SUBMITTAL:
Prepared by Pioneer Engineering, the Cliff Property Preliminary Plat, dated December 19, 2018,
with revisions February 9, 2018. The following review comments were generated from the following
documents included in the submittal:
Preliminary Plan comprised of the following:
▫ Existing Conditions
▫ Preliminary Plat
▫ Utility Plan
▫ Grading Plan
▫ Erosion Control
▫ Details
▫ Street Profiles
▫ Phasing Plan
▫ Landscape and Seeding Plan
Stormwater Management Plan and Calculations
GENERAL COMMENTS:
1. The development fees below are estimated based on the current Schedule of Rates and Fees.
These fees are due with the final plat and subdivision agreement.
Sanitary Sewer Trunk Charge: $1075/acre
Watermain Trunk Charge: $6500/acre
Storm Sewer Trunk Charge: $6865/acre
2. Prior to submittal of the final plat, the developer should notify the city if they would like to
privately install the infrastructure or if a public process is desired. Preparation of the
subdivision agreement cannot begin until a public or private process is selected.
3. The developer shall be responsible for a pro-rated share of the future cost associated with
the improvement of Akron Avenue. The front-foot rate is $110/FF. This is an equivalent
front-foot rate for one-half the cost of a 36-foot wide urban section road. Based on a
calculated front-footage of 1,759 feet, the cash payment to be collected at the time of final
plat(s) $193,490.
4. Dakota County is currently working on the design for the improvements of Akron Avenue
adjacent to the property. Grading and utility work near Akron Avenue will need further
coordination with the county as both project move forward in design and construction.
5. Right-of-way dimensions should be shown on the preliminary plat. Street A shall be 80-feet
and all other local streets shall be 60-feet in width.
6. Conservation easements are required over all wetlands and buffers. Signage for conservation
easements shall be provided by the developer and an extended 5-year maintenance warranty
shall be required to ensure establishment of the naturally vegetated areas. Costs associated
with the establishment of the naturally vegetated areas and the 5-year maintenance period
shall be a cost of the development.
7. Retaining walls are shown on Lots 102-104, 205-208, and 228-231. Retaining walls are
required to be installed by the developer with the mass grading of the site and owned and
maintained by the developer or individual property owner. Retaining walls exceeding 4-foot
in height require a plan prepared and certified by a licensed engineer.
8. The developer is required to coordinate with the gas pipeline owners to obtain all permits
and agreements for grading and utility work within the pipeline easement areas. Copies of all
agreements shall be submitted to the City prior to construction.
9. More information regarding the gas pipelines and easements are required on the plan.
Contact information, pipeline sizes and material, and warnings should be shown. The
developer is required to meet the plan requirements of the gas pipeline owners.
10. Pothole elevations shall be provided during final design at each gas pipeline crossing location
to verify the improvements can be constructed as proposed.
STORMWATER COMMENTS:
11. Storm sewer pipe design has been received and appears to meet the city standards and
Engineering Guidelines.
12. Indicate the location of maintenance access for ponds 100, 200, and 300.
13. Stormwater water quality appears to be consistent with requirements in the Engineering
Guidelines and the Stormwater Management Plan.
14. Stormwater water quantity appears to be consistent with requirements in the Engineering
Guidelines and the Stormwater Management Plan.
15. Update the narrative to match the HydroCAD model in in the basin summary table for the
100-yr and 10-day ac*ft storage.
16. Ponds 100, 200, and 300 all retain the 100-yr storm volume. Verify the drainage areas match
what is shown in the HydroCAD model.
17. Update the narrative to document the reasoning for the infiltration rates used for each of the
basins.
18. Provide a site summary of onsite drainage retained, onsite drainage leaving the site, and
offsite drainage retained on the site.
19. The comparison of pre and post development runoff volume to Wetland B and E in the
narrative does not match the HydroCAD model.
20. Lining of NURP ponding areas is not required by the City; however, the developer may want
to consider this as ponding areas will likely not maintain vegetation below the NWL.
21. Storm sewer is proposed along the side and back lot lines of many properties to convey rear
yard drainage. Drainage and utility easements along these lines shall prohibit the installation
of sheds to ensure that access can be provided for storm sewer maintenance. Fences are
allowed but shall not restrict drainage and are required to include gates for truck access over
the drainage and utility easement. Also, landscaping that will block access should be
prohibited. These restrictions should be added as a restriction on the property deed.
22. The developer is required to obtain a NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit and provide
a copy of the approved SWPPP to the City prior to the start of any construction activity.
STREET & UTILITY COMMENTS:
23. The full development of the proposed Meadow Ridge development is dependent on the
construction of a regional lift station that is identified in the City’s Comprehensive Sanitary
Sewer Plan within the North Central Sewer District. During the planning and review of the
proposed Meadow Ridge development, the feasibility of modifying the planned location of
the regional lift station to be within the Meadow Ridge development was evaluated. The
attached technical memo details this analysis and the estimated increase in cost from the
originally proposed location to the west of the Meadow Ridge development site. The
developer will be responsible for the increased cost associated with relocating the lift station
from the original location determined in the 2007 Comprehensive Sanitary Sewer Plan to the
proposed location on the Meadow Ridge property. The estimated cost increase for the
regional lift station and associated trunk sanitary sewer is approximately $550,000. The
developer will be required to fund this estimated amount at the time the regional lift station
is constructed. The balance of the estimated cost for the construction of the regional lift
station, $1,000,000, will be a city trunk sanitary sewer fund expenditure.
24. The City and Developer will share costs associated with the extension of trunk sanitary
sewer and watermain from the existing location within Akron Avenue through the Meadow
Ridge property. The developer will be responsible for the equivalent cost of lateral 8-inch
PVC sanitary sewer and 8-inch DIP watermain. The construction cost for over-sizing and
extra depth will be a city trunk fund expenditure. The final costs and funding for these
improvements will be detailed in a feasibility report and subdivision agreements at the time
of final plat.
25. Due to the construction depth of the regional lift station and future extension of trunk
utilities to the west, Lots 141 and 163 will be restricted from building construction until such
time the regional lift station construction is complete and the trunk utilities are extended
beyond the limits of the Meadow Ridge development. If proper easements and agreements
are in place with the property owner to the west and the regional lift station is constructed
and trunk utilities can be adequately extended, building permits may be issued at an earlier
time.
26. A sanitary sewer stub will be required to be installed to facilitate the extension of service to
the existing Stonebridge development directly north of Meadow Ridge. The location will be
on the northern end of Street C and will require appropriate Drainage and Utility easement.
27. Sanitary sewer and watermain extensions are required to be extended to serve the existing
properties at 12523, 12605, 12637 Akron Avenue.

Re: Rosemount North Central Regional Lift Station Feasibility Study
WSB Project No. 011200-000
As requested by the City, WSB has evaluated the City’s future trunk sanitary sewer system to determine if
the North Central Regional Lift Station could be constructed on the proposed Meadow Ridge
development site and serve the original North Central regional lift station service area with gravity sewer
mains. In preparation of this study, WSB reviewed City GIS data, preliminary development plans, 2030
Comprehensive Plan, and land use plan.
The following Meadow Ridge lift station site option was evaluated and compared to the original lift station
site that is described in in the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
MEADOW RIDGE LIFT STATION OPTION
With the Meadow Ridge Property Lift Station Option, the lift station would be located at the site proposed
in the Meadow Ridge preliminary development plans. The lift station would be constructed with sufficient
depth to serve the Meadow Ridge development as well as the North Central regional lift station service
area. The sanitary sewer infrastructure proposed for this option is shown in Figure 1.
Lift Station Sizing
After evaluating the North Central sewer shed’s topography, it was determined that a regional lift station
could be constructed on the Meadow Ridge site and collect wastewater via gravity sewer mains from the
rest of the North Central Region. This lift station would then convey flows via dual forcemains (four and
eight inch) that would run east until the flows can be continued by gravity through the Meadow Ridge
development and then south along Akron Ave to the existing trunk gravity sewer. The lift station
dimensions required to accommodate the initial and ultimate peak flows from the North Central Region
are listed in Table 1, which includes a 25% safety factor for future development.
Due to the initial low flows, the lift station must be staged, using smaller 90 gallon per minute (gpm)
pumps and a 4-inch forcemain in order to meet minimum flow velocity requirements for pumping
wastewater. For the ultimate development scenario, the lift station’s pumps will need to be replaced with
larger pumps which will utilize both the 4 and 8-inch forcemains. Additionally, this location assumes that
no future low floor elevations will be permitted below an elevation of 908-feet within this sewer shed,
based on existing ground elevations within the North Central sewer district and the proposed HWL’s for
future regional stormwater basins.

ORIGINAL 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LIFT STATION OPTION
The 2030 Comprehensive Plan North Central sewershed lift station location was originally proposed in a
low area within the central portion of the sewershed. The sanitary sewer infrastructure proposed for this
option is shown in Figure 2.
Lift Station Sizing
The location of the proposed regional lift station presented in the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan was
chosen to minimize the depth and still allow for the North Central sewershed to be served by a single
regional lift station. The depth of the lift station under this option was estimated to be approximately 18-
feet with an assumed ground elevation of 910-feet. The originally proposed forcemain would run south to
a proposed trunk sewer that would ultimately convey flows to the existing trunk sewer along Akron Ave.
Gravity Sewer
The originally proposed gravity sewer layout is shown in Figure 2.
COST COMPARISON
The estimated costs for installing the lift station and forcemain at the proposed Meadow Ridge lift station
site and at the original site presented in the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan are presented in Tables 3
and 4, respectively. The estimated costs for the originally proposed lift station were updated to account
for current day construction and material costs. The estimated costs listed correspond to the specific
dimensions for each option indicated in the tables above. As shown, the total costs include a construction

contingency and indirect costs for engineering, legal, and administration. These costs do not include land
acquisition, nor do they include the trunk gravity main that will be tributary to the lift station. In summary,
the estimated additional cost to relocate the proposed North Central Regional Lift Station from its original
location in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan to the Meadow Ridge property is $514,550.

From: Roxy Franta, WSB

Date: January 11, 2017
Re: Lennar Cliff Property – WCA Pre-application Siting Review Summary
WSB Project No. 02235-340
As the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) Local Government Unit (LGU) for the City of Rosemount, WSB
has provided guidance on WCA and the City of Rosemount Comprehensive Wetland Management Plan
(CWMP) to the Lennar Corporation as they plan a residential development within the City. The following
is a summary of the communications between WSB, Lennar, and the City that are associated with the
proposed development prior to the submission of a completed WCA application and replacement plan.
Wetland delineation and MnRAM assessments for wetlands within the site were reviewed and approved
by the LGU on November 29, 2017. Three wetlands were identified onsite:
Wetland B (0.50 acre within review area) – Type 5 Open Water (PABH); Manage 1
Wetland D (0.22 acre within review area) – Type 1 Seasonally Flooded Basin (PEMA); Manage 2
Wetland E (2.43 acres within review area) – Type 3/5 Shallow Marsh/Open Water (PEMC/PUBH);
Manage 1
Lennar developed preliminary plans and the proposed development of the parcel would likely eliminate
hydrology to Wetland D due to topography and site elevations even if the wetland were physically
avoided. Prior to applying to WCA, Lennar asked WSB for guidance on wetland replacement siting
requirements within the City. WSB fist suggested that Lennar investigate whether or not Wetland D was a
WCA-regulated wetland by performing a historic aerial review as far back as possible to evaluate whether
the wetland was incidentally created in upland. Per WCA, an incidental wetland would not be regulated
and no replacement would be necessary. After further investigation, the Wetland D was present in a
historic aerial photograph from 1937 which indicated that the wetland is likely regulated and incidental
status would not be an option (Photo 1).

Photo 1. Aerial photograph of the Cliff Property from 1937showing Wetland D.
With Wetland D being regulated by WCA, the replacement of any impacts to Wetland D would need to be
replaced following the siting criteria outlined in the Rosemount CWMP which has specific wetland
replacement siting criteria that override those in WCA. The siting criteria in the CWMP includes:
1. Wetland replacement within the project site;
2. Wetland replacement within the same City subwatershed drainage area as the impacted wetland;
3. Wetland replacement within the City;
4. Wetland replacement through a BWSR approved wetland bank within the major watershed. The use of
wetland banking must be approved by the City Council and will only be considered if Items 1-3 are
deemed unfeasible.
Wetland D is currently a temporary flooded basin that has been included in agricultural production in the
past and is currently surrounded by agricultural fields. Wetland D is a lower quality wetland that Wetlands
B and E. Lennar developed a preliminary wetland replacement plan that would replace for Wetland D
within the project site, following siting criteria 1. The mitigation would be provided as an expansion of
Wetland B located in the southwest corner of the project site, and as two expansions of Wetland E
located at the north side of the project site. The Wetland B mitigation area would be 6,276 square feet
and would require the removal of a small wooded buffer around the wetland (Photo 2). The tree survey
indicated that the trees to be removed are native, higher value species such as: black willow, bur oak,
hackberry, American elm, black cherry, and pin oak (Photo 3). Only a few of the trees surveyed were
lower quality box elder. Wetland B was classified as a Manage 1 wetland which generally provides high
functions and values.

Photo 3. Wooded areas surrounding Wetland B.
The Wetland E mitigation areas would be 7,506 square feet expanded to the northwest and 5,355 square
feet expanded to the southeast. The construction of the northwest mitigation area would not require much
tree removal while the mitigation area to the southeast would require the removal of a small tree buffer
along a slope adjacent to Wetland E. The tree survey indicated that the trees to be removed include
mostly black cherry and some box elder. Wetland E is also classified as a Manage 1 wetland.

Photo 5. Wooded areas surrounding Wetland E.
Space for the mitigation is available on-site but will result in removing vegetated tree buffers around high
quality wetlands to replace for the lower quality, Manage 2 Wetland D. Some of the tree removals will also
occur on slopes. The proposed onsite mitigation plan seems to be the only feasible option to account for
the square footage needed to replace for Wetland D. The benefit of the on-site mitigation is that the
functions and values that would be lost from the impacts to Wetland D would be retained onsite within the

new mitigation areas. The implications of this plan are that the developer would need to remove higher
quality native trees that currently protect the perimeter of high quality wetlands as well as stabilize the
slopes at Wetland E. These removals would require that the developer replace for these trees on site.
The developer would also need to replace an upland buffer adjacent to the mitigation areas to provide the
same protections that the existing mature tree buffers provide. The onsite mitigation would require a five-
year monitoring plan to establish and maintain the planted native vegetation and will be subject to
meeting vegetation establishment performance standards.
Moving forward, Lennar will need to submit a complete replacement plan application which includes
alternative options for avoiding impacts to Wetland D, methods of minimization to reduce impacts to
Wetland D, and if impacts are proposed to Wetland D, a discussion about why each of the CWMP siting
criteria are feasible or not for this project. Considerations should weigh the implications and benefits of
on-site replacement vs. other siting options. Given that the on-site mitigation option will require
disturbance to native tree stands and high quality wetlands, WSB suggested that Lennar consider other
siting options as well, but that the City Council would have the decision making authority on replacement.
Lennar should briefly investigate any options for mitigation within the same sub-watershed or within the
city if Lennar owns additional property elsewhere. Based on past WCA project reviews, most of the city is
not suitable for wetland mitigation due to a lack of hydric soil and lack of appropriate site conditions to
maintain wetland hydrology long-term. If CWMP siting criteria 1-3 are deemed unfeasible, Lennar should
consider wetland replacement through the purchase of wetland banking credits which is the suggested
method of replacement by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Ultimately, once the complete
application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the LGU and a decision regarding the replacement plan will
be determined by the City Council.

Lennar is proposing a new residential housing development in the City of Rosemount west of Akron Avenue in the
north‐central part of the City. This proposed development will have 153 single‐family homes. The property is guided
for Urban Residential Land Use in the Comprehensive Plan and is currently being used as agricultural land. Current
zoning for the property is AGP.
The proposed project will consist of the construction of a residential development. The project‘s construction will
consist of site grading for infrastructure including: roads, utilities and building pads. Construction is expected to
begin in the spring of 2018 following preliminary and final plat approval and will continue until fully built. A
preliminary plat for the site is included in Appendix A.
Access to the community is planned via a main access point from Akron Avenue, and a secondary access point is
planned from the south of the community. A central collector is planned running east‐west from Akron Avenue and
stubbing to the west. Internal circulation is fostered by a loop on the northern end of the community that ends in a
cul‐de‐sac and by several local roads in the southern portion of the community that provide curvilinear access and
mobility throughout the community. Typical right‐of‐way width is 60’ for local streets and 80’ for the collector.
Sidewalks are also proposed on one side of the internal streets that do not end in a cul‐de‐sac.
The need for this project is based on the expanding residential housing market in this part of Rosemount as well as
availability to public infrastructure. Expected housing market growth in this part of Rosemount will be met with new
residential development including the proposed residential development at the Cliff property. The City of
Rosemount is planning for expanded growth in this part of the City which is detailed in the City’s 2030
Comprehensive Plan (2009).
Existing Wetland Resources On‐Site
Wetlands within the property boundary were delineated and documented in a report submitted by Midwest Natural
Resources, Inc. on October 24th, 2017 (Appendix C). The site’s wetlands were reviewed by the LGU (City of
Rosemount and their consultant WSB & Associates, Inc.) and approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel in the
attached Notice of Decision dated November 29th, 2017 (Appendix D). Three wetlands were delineated on‐site and
are designated as Wetland B, Wetland D, and Wetland E (see Figure 5 of the wetland delineation report in Appendix
C). Based on the proposed site plan, the entire area of Wetland D (0.22 acres or 9,721 sq. ft.) will be impacted. A
brief description of Wetland D follows.
Wetland D
Wetland D (0.22 ac.) is located in the northwestern part of the property and is classified as a palustrine emergent
wetland with a temporarily flooded hydrologic regime (PEMA; Circular 39 Type 1; Seasonally Flooded Basin). The
wetland is surrounded by land in agricultural production and is an isolated basin with no natural outlet. Wetland D
is a farmed wetland that is tilled through from year to year and as a result was covered in 2017 with annual
hydrophytic vegetation that includes: common spikerush (Eleocharis palustris) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus‐
galli). This type of annual vegetation is typical of farmed wetlands in this part of Dakota County that do not have
persistent, perennial vegetation established. From a site visit in late November, it was noted that this wetland was
tilled through once again with all annual vegetation being turned over.
Impacts to existing wetland resources
The entire area of Wetland D will be impacted due to the need to avoid impacts to Wetland E (higher quality wetland)
and for safety reasons involving the City of Rosemount’s ordinance on cul‐de‐sac length requirements.
Avoidance. Both the CWA and the WCA require that impacts to aquatic resources be avoided if practicable alternatives exist.
Clearly describe all on‐site measures considered to avoid impacts to aquatic resources and discuss at least two project alternatives
that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site. These alternatives may include alternative site plans, alternate sites, and/or
not doing the project. Alternatives should be feasible and prudent (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 2 C). Applicants are encouraged
to attach drawings and plans to support their analysis:
No Action Alternative: The no action alternative would result in a failure to meet the purpose and need of the
proposed project. The applicant considers this alternative infeasible since the proposed land use in this part of
Rosemount is being planned for residential growth and would not be reasonable for the investment‐backed
expectations of the applicant or meeting the growing demand for single‐family residential housing in Rosemount.
Therefore, the no action alternative is not a viable consideration.
Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative #1: Due to the location of Wetland D within the Cliff property, site
topography, cul‐de‐sac length requirements, and the need to avoid any potential impacts to Wetland E for site
grading, a total wetland avoidance alternative was not possible. A total avoidance alternative would fail to meet the
demand for residential development in the City of Rosemount by reducing the number of potential buildable lots.
Pressure from the Metropolitan Council and the overall market call for smaller lots with a higher density. This is
primarily due to the cost of public improvements and land costs in the Twin Cities area.
To avoid impacts to Wetland D an alternative site design was considered that would shift the current street
alignment of Street B from its current location. In this alternative design, Street B would be shifted to the west which
would result in several lots and the northern cul‐de‐sac being located directly over an existing pipeline easement.
Currently the alignment of Street B is located within the site to avoid the high pressure gas transmission line that is
west of the street. The current location for Street B is necessary to provide a looped connection with Street C in
order for Street C to meet the City of Rosemount’s cul‐de‐sac length requirements. Based on the preliminary grading
plan, Street C is 1,100’ in length and cannot exceed 700’ in length without a looped connection from Street B. For
safety reasons the City of Rosemount limits cul‐de‐sac lengths to 700 linear feet or 15 homes.
Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative #2: A second total wetland avoidance alternative looked at shifting
Street C to the north within the development but due to potential impacts to Wetland E this total wetland avoidance
alternative was not reasonable.
By shifting Street C from its current location to the north, away from Wetland D, grading for the proposed lots north
of Street C would take place all the way down the slope to the southern edge of Wetland E. Impacts to the southern
edge of Wetland E would be the result of shifting the road to the north in order to avoid impacting Wetland D. Since
Wetland E is a higher quality wetland compared to Wetland D, shifting the road to the north to avoid impacts to
Wetland D is not reasonable.
Although direct avoidance to Wetland D could be achieved with either alternative site design, each alternative would
result in secondary impacts to Wetland D with a watershed reduction associated with the overall development of
the site, in particular the area immediately surrounding Wetland D. Stormwater runoff from the street and adjacent
lots next to Wetland D will be directed away from the area to a large storm water pond located within Outlot A. The
upland area that currently contributes runoff to the wetland will be developed for single family homes and
associated roadway runoff. The runoff will be collected and directed to the stormwater treatment pond in Outlot A,
which will result in a direct bypass of the hydrology source for Wetland D. Storm sewer is necessary to convey street
water from the northern portion of the site to the pond in Outlot A. Due to necessary site grades and the need for
pre‐treating storm water runoff prior to discharging into wetlands, the hydrology to Wetland D will drastically be
reduced to the point of not being able to maintain its current wetland hydrology.
Minimization. Both the CWA and the WCA require that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest
extent practicable. Discuss all features of the proposed project that have been modified to minimize the impacts to water
resources (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 4):
The Applicant has considered minimizing wetland impacts to the degree possible, given the constraints posed by the
cul‐de‐sac length requirements, existing pipeline easement locations, minimizing impacts to other wetlands on‐site,
and existing site conditions. Several project plans have been considered in an effort to minimize impacts to Wetland
D but all did not significantly reduce the secondary impacts to Wetland D because of the need to keep Streets B and
C in their current locations. Since Wetland D needs direct runoff to sustain its wetland hydrology, by keeping Streets
B and C in their current locations will result in the reduction of the watershed by redirecting runoff to on‐site storm
Off‐Site Alternatives. An off‐site alternatives analysis is not required for all permit applications. If you know that your
proposal will require an individual permit (standard permit or letter of permission) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
you may be required to provide an off‐site alternatives analysis. The alternatives analysis is not required for a complete
application but must be provided during the review process in order for the Corps to complete the evaluation of your
application and reach a final decision. Applicants with questions about when an off‐site alternatives analysis is required
should contact their Corps Project Manager.
Not applicable until the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers request for an approved jurisdictional determination has been
received and that Wetland D would be considered a jurisdictional waters of the United States. Wetland D is an
isolated wetland and will not likely be considered a waters of the US and therefor will not be regulated by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers.

Proposed Wetland Mitigation
Currently, on the preliminary grading plan for the Cliff Property, wetland mitigation is being proposed as the creation
of three separate new wetland areas. One of the new wetland areas is adjacent to Wetland B and the other two new
wetland areas are adjacent to Wetland E. The location for each on‐site mitigation area was selected based on
positioning each new wetland area somewhere on‐site that would receive adequate wetland hydrology. By placing
each mitigation area at an elevation that is consistent with Wetland B (918’ elevation) and Wetland D (908’
elevation), wetland hydrology would be provided by water that is naturally directed to each existing wetland.
Options were considered for creating a single wetland mitigation area, but due to the well‐drained soils on‐site, it
was decided that it would be too difficult to maintain adequate hydrology for any new wetland area other than next
to an existing wetland.
In addition to the challenge of providing adequate wetland hydrology for the proposed mitigation areas, by placing
each new wetland area next to an existing wetland, there is a vegetative influence on the mitigation areas as well.
When mitigation areas are proposed to be constructed next to existing wetlands that have invasive, non‐native
plants already established, these invasive plants tend to migrate to any area of recent disturbance (new wetland
creation area). All three of the proposed mitigation areas are immediately adjacent to existing wetlands that are
dominated by invasive, non‐native plants and include: reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea), narrow‐leaf cattail
(Typha angustifolia), and purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria). This can pose a significant challenge to the developer
to maintain less than 20% cover of invasive, non‐native plants by the end of the five years of monitoring. The
likelihood of having to manage these three mitigation areas for invasive species establishment is almost certain and
will involve the use of multiple applications of herbicides. Even then there is no guarantee that invasives will be
eliminated from the mitigation areas, especially when management will end after five years of monitoring and
invasive species will then be able to spread unchecked.
Because of the high likelihood that each new wetland mitigation area may become established with invasive plants,
Lennar is proposing an alternative mitigation option that would involve purchasing wetland banking credit from an
established wetland bank rather than on‐site wetland creation. By purchasing wetland banking credit, the challenges
of trying to successfully create new wetland areas on‐site can be avoided. If Lennar will have to create new wetland
for mitigation on‐site, there is a significant chance of failure in meeting the performance standard of having less than
20% cover of invasive plants following five years of monitoring. If on‐site mitigation fails after five years of
management, Lennar would then be faced with having to purchase banking credit in order to fulfill their wetland
mitigation obligation.
Another reason Lennar would like to mitigate the loss of Wetland D with the purchase of wetland banking credits
and not to have to create on‐site mitigation is to decrease the over‐all removal of significant trees on‐site. Based on
the preliminary grading plan, in order to create these three new wetland areas, significant tree removal will take
place for the grading of each mitigation area. By purchasing wetland banking credit, approximately 200” of significant
trees will be saved on‐site and will be left in place as natural buffer areas around Wetlands B and E. Significant tree
species that would be removed for the creation of on‐site mitigation include: bur oak (Quercus macrocarpa),
hackberry (Celtis occidentalis), American elm (Ulmus americana), cottonwood (Populus deltoides), willow (Salix sp.)
and box elder (Acer negundo).

Applicants should attach documentation indicating that they have contacted the wetland bank account owner and reached at least
a tentative agreement to utilize the identified credits for the project. This documentation could be a signed purchase agreement,
signed application for withdrawal of credits or some other correspondence indicating an agreement between the applicant and the
bank owner. However, applicants are advised not to enter into a binding agreement to purchase credits until the mitigation plan is
approved by the Corps and LGU.
Initial contact has been made with the wetland bank manager (Jon Aune, Lennar) of wetland bank account #1349.
An initial phone conversation with Lennar took place on February 1st, 2018 to discuss credit availability for the
purchase of needed wetland banking credit. Several other wetland banks were also contacted that are located in
the same major watershed as wetland bank account #1349 since there are currently no wetland banks located within
the City of Rosemount, Dakota County or the same major watershed as the Cliff Property.
Based on the amount of wetland banking credit required for the mitigation associated with this project, wetland
bank #1349 will be able to provide the total amount of wetland banking credit needed. Since preliminary and final
plat approval for this development has not been approved by the City of Rosemount, a purchase agreement will be
drafted with a closing to take place following final plat approval. A submittal of preliminary and final plat approval
will be submitted to the City of Rosemount in 2018. Upon final plat approval by the City of Rosemount a purchase
agreement with the #1349 wetland bank manager will be executed in order to secure the needed wetland banking
credits for this project.

Introduction
Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. (MNR) was contracted by Lennar to provide wetland delineation
services for a 77 acre property located at 12523 Akron Ave. in Rosemount, Dakota County,
Minnesota (Appendix A, Figure 1). On September 26th, 2017 MNR conducted a routine wetland
delineation within the 77 acre Cliff property to determine current wetland boundaries. In all, the
boundary of three wetlands were delineated within the property boundary. Four other areas were
reviewed for the presence of wetland but were determined not to be considered wetland.
Objective
To determine and delineate the current wetland boundaries located within the 77 acre Cliff
property. This information will be used for the planning of a residential housing development.
Methodology
Prior to conducting the fieldwork, existing data were reviewed. These data include the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service National Wetlands Inventory and the MN DNR National Wetlands Inventory
Update June, 2013 (Appendix A, Figure 2), the U.S. Department of Agriculture digital Soil
Survey of Dakota County (Appendix A, Figure 3), and the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources Public Waters Inventory (PWI) (Appendix A, Figure 4). Long-term and recent climate
data (precipitation and temperature) were also obtained for the survey location.
Delineation efforts were based on the Routine “Onsite” Determination Method contained in the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Midwest Supplement Version 2.0, Aug. 2010 to the 1987 Wetlands
Delineation Manual Technical Report Y-87_1. According to this methodology, wetland
boundaries are determined based on the evaluation of the three parameters (hydric soil,
hydrophytic vegetation, and wetland hydrology) required for an area to be defined as a wetland.
The wetland boundary for each wetland on-site was identified as the upper-most extent of each
area that met the criteria required to be defined as a wetland: hydric soils, hydrophytic vegetation,
and wetland hydrology.
Wetlands B, D and E’s delineated boundary were marked with pink pin flags with representative
letters and numbers B1-B9, D1-D10 and E1-E22 (Appendix A, Figure 5). Spatial data was
collected in the field using Trimble GeoXT 6000 GPS units with ArcPad and Trimble Positions
ArcPad Extension protocol. Data was post processed in ArcMap using Trimble Positions Desktop
Add-in and the MNHW Hollywood base station, which is operated by the MN Department of
Transportation.
For the wetlands within the Cliff property, a sample transect was established where the
wetland/upland transition occurs. At each transect the vegetation, soils, and hydrology were
investigated at two positions in the landscape, one within the wetland and one within the upland.
Vegetation, soils, and hydrology were documented following the aforementioned delineation
protocols. Soils were characterized based on soil matrix/mottle colors and texture, as well as the
presence/absence of hydric soil indicators. The dominant vascular plant species were identified
and the cover was estimated visually. The indicator status of the dominant plant species was taken
from the State of Minnesota 2016 Wetland Plant List (Lichvar, R.W., D.L. Banks Kirchner, and
N.C. Melvin. 2016. The National Wetland Plant List. 2016 wetland ratings. Phytoneuron 2016-30.
Published 28 April 2016. ISSN 2153 733X). Hydrologic indicators (i.e. presence/absence of
Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. – Cliff Property, Rosemount, Minnesota
2
inundated and/or saturated soils, drift lines, drainage patterns, water marks, etc.) were evaluated
to determine wetland hydrology. Finally, the wetlands were classified based on the Cowardin,
Circular 39 and Eggers & Reed wetland descriptions. All collected field data is summarized in the
Wetland Determination Data Forms (Midwest Region) included in this report (Appendix C).
Climate Data
To provide context for the wetland survey effort, recent climatic conditions were investigated for
the local area, including precipitation and temperature data and are included in Appendix D.
Results
The land located within the 77 acre Cliff property is comprised of deciduous oak-dominated
woodlands in the southwest part of the property, mixed planted conifer and deciduous woodland
in the northeast part of the property, agricultural fields in farmer’s market and hay production
throughout much of the property, a single family residence in the northeast corner of the property,
and three wetland areas. In total, MNR delineated and located the boundary of three wetlands
located either entirely or partially within the 77 acre property with Wetland B and E extending
beyond the property boundary.
The following is a table that summarizes the three delineated wetlands by Circular 39 type,
Cowardin classification, Eggers and Reed Plant Community and by size in acres.

The three wetlands were delineated using methods and criteria that follow the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the COE
Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Version 2.0, Aug. 2010. The boundaries of Wetlands B, D
and E were flagged and located by MNR and also located by Pioneer Engineering, P.A.
Wetland B
Wetland B is a Type 5 (PABH; Open Water) wetland located in the southwestern part of the
property and is 0.50 acre in size within the property boundary. This open water wetland extends
off-site to the west. At the time of the survey, duck weed (Lemna minor) covered nearly all of the
open water. Upland oak-dominated woodland borders much of this wetland with a small part
bordering upland grassland.
Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland B include: reed canarygrass
(Phalaris arundinacea) and common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica). Plant species documented
at the upland sample point for Wetland B include: northern pin oak (Quercus ellipsoidalis), bur

oak (Quercus macrocarpa), hackberry (Celtic occidentalis), common buckthorn (Rhamnus
cathartica), smooth brome (Bromus inermis), and stinging nettle (Urtica dioica).
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Wetland B is described as Quam silt loam which is mapped as a hydric soil. The
soils investigated within the wetland soil sample met the Thick Dark Surface (A12) hydric soil
indicator.

Wetland hydrology indicators observed for Wetland B include two primary and two secondary
indicators: high water table (A2), saturation (A3), geomorphic position (D2) and FAC-neutral test
(D5). Both the water table and saturation were measured at the soil surface.
Wetland D
Wetland D is a Type 1 (PEMA; Temporarily Flooded Basin) wetland located in the northwestern
part of the property and is 0.22 acre in size. Agricultural fields in farmer’s market production are
situated around this wetland. The basin has a common spikerush growing throughout with the edge
of the wetland covered almost entirely in barnyard grass.
Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland D include: common spikerush
(Eleocharis palustris). Plant species documented at the upland sample point for Wetland D
include: barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli).
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Wetland D is described as Kingsley sandy loam which is mapped as a non-hydric
soil. The soils investigated within the wetland soil sample met the Redox Dark Surface (F6) hydric
soil indicator.

Wetland E
Wetland E is a Type 3/5 (PEMC/PUBH; Shallow Marsh/Open Water) wetland located in the
northern part of the property and is 2.43 acres in size within the property boundary. This wetland
extends off-site to the north as a similar wetland type. Upland horse pasture areas and areas of
upland deciduous shrubland/woodland is located around the perimeter of this wetland. The general
topography surrounding Wetland E rises up in elevation from the wetland edge to where upland
grasses and shrubs become the dominant cover.
Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland E include: narrowleaf cattail
(Typha angustifolia), purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria), and dotted smartweed (Persicaria
punctata). Plant species documented at the upland sample point for Wetland E include: bur oak
(Quercus macrocarpa), box elder (Acer negundo), common buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica),
smooth brome (Bromus inermis), common plantain (Plantago major) and common burdock
(Arctium minus).
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Wetland E is described as Quam silt loam which is mapped as a hydric soil. The
soils investigated within the wetland soil sample met the Redox Dark Surface (F6) hydric soil

Non-Wetland Area 1
Non-Wetland Area 1 is located in the very southeastern corner of the property where a low-lying
depressional area comes onto the subject property a few feet along an existing field road. Nearly
all of the depressional area is located off-site to the south. This area was reviewed for the presence
of wetland since it was a closed depressional area dominated almost entirely by barnyard grass.
Plant species documented at the sample point for Non-Wetland Area 1 include just barnyard grass
(Echinochloa crus-galli).
In 2016, this depressional area was reviewed by Kjolhaug Environmental Services and was
determined then to not being considered wetland. A recent review of this area was conducted in
October of this year by the Technical Evaluation Panel and staff from Westwood Professional
Services where it was again confirmed that this area was not considered wetland.
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Non-Wetland Area 1 is described as Kennebec silt loam which is mapped as a
non-hydric soil. The soils investigated within the soil sample did not meet any hydric soil
indicators.
The following is a table with the soil profile for Non-Wetland Area 1.

Wetland hydrology indicators observed for Non-Wetland Area 1 include two secondary indicators:
geomorphic position (D2) and FAC-neutral test (D5). Soils were dry and not close to saturation to
the extent of the soil pit.
This area was determined not to be wetland based on a lack of hydric soil and FSA imagery review
indicating a wetland signature in only one of nine years with normal precipitation.
Non-Wetland Area 2
Non-Wetland Area 2 is located along the eastern property line within a depressional area next to
Akron Avenue. This area was reviewed for the presence of wetland since it was a closed
depressional area mapped within a hydric soil unit. A culvert is situated at the lowest elevation of
this depression and drains water from the surrounding fields to under Arkon Ave. into an
agricultural field on the eastern side of the road. Plant species documented at the sample point for
Non-Wetland Area 2 include: Timothy (Phleum pratense), smooth brome (Bromus inermis),
orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), and common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Non-Wetland Area 2 is described as Kennebec variant which is a mapped hydric
soil. The soils investigated within the soil sample did not meet any hydric soil indicators.

geomorphic position (D2). Soils were dry and not close to saturation to the extent of the soil pit.
This area was determined not to be wetland based on a lack of hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils
and adequate wetland hydrology.
Non-Wetland Area 3
Non-Wetland Area 3 is located within the south-central part of the property within a depressional
area in a recently plowed part of an agricultural field. This area was reviewed for the presence of
wetland since it was a closed depressional area. At the time of the field survey, the vegetation in
this area was plowed under with the exception of a few clumps of barnyard grass. Plant species
documented at the sample point for Non-Wetland Area 3 include just barnyard grass (Echinochloa
crus-galli) with over 95% being bare, recently tilled ground.
From the digital U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Survey for Dakota County, the soil mapped
within the area of Non-Wetland Area 3 is described as Spencer silt loam which is mapped as a
non-hydric soil. The soils investigated within the soil sample met the Depleted Matrix (F3) hydric
soil indicator.

Wetland hydrology indicators observed for Non-Wetland Area 3 include two secondary indicators:
geomorphic position (D2) and FAC-neutral test (D5).
Even though this area met all three parameters of being wetland, this area was determined not to
be wetland based FSA imagery review indicating a wetland signature in only one of nine years
with normal precipitation.
Non-Wetland Area 4
Non-Wetland Area 4 is located within the west-central part of the property within a nearly level
area of a recently plowed part of an agricultural field. This area was reviewed for the presence of
wetland since it was a nearly level to slight depressional area with soft ground. At the time of the
field survey, the vegetation in this area was plowed under with the exception of a few clumps of

Wetland hydrology indicators observed for Non-Wetland Area 4 include one secondary indicator:
FAC-neutral test (D5).
This area was determined not to be wetland based on a lack of adequate wetland hydrology and
FSA imagery review indicating a wetland signature in only one of nine years with normal
precipitation.
FSA Imagery Review
As part of the wetland delineation process, MNR reviewed additional information for determining
the extent of wetland hydrology for Wetland D and Non-Wetland Areas 1-4. Wetland D and Non-
Wetland Areas 1-4 were evaluated for wetland hydrology using aerial imagery in addition to
standard wetland delineation methods since the majority of the perimeter of each wetland and non-
wetland area is adjacent or within agricultural production areas.
Wetland hydrology was investigated utilizing the procedures outlined in the US Army Corps of
Engineers Guidance for Offsite Hydrology/Wetland Determinations (July 2016). This guidance
replaces all previous Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and St. Paul District
Corps of Engineers (District)-endorsed versions of guidance concerning wetland mapping
conventions for agricultural land including: Wetland Mapping Conventions for Cropland (BWSR,
USACE, NRCS, 1994); Atypical Procedure: Offsite Hydrology Determination by Using Rainfall
Data with Farm Services Agency Imagery (BWSR 2006); and Using Aerial Imagery to Assess
Wetland Hydrology (BWSR July 2010);
The purpose of using rainfall data in combination with historical imagery is to evaluate the aerial
imagery in the context of antecedent moisture conditions to determine if wetland hydrology is
observed. The guidance document referenced above recommend evaluating precipitation for three
months prior to the date when the imagery was obtained, for each year of historic imagery. Specific
months and dates were not available for some of the imagery (1984, 1985, 1987, 1988 and 1991-
1999). However, it is assumed that these photos were typically taken in late June or early July and
it is therefore appropriate to evaluate precipitation for April, May, and June (BWSR 2006). Precise
dates are available for more recent imagery (2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008-2010, 2012, 2013, 2015
and 2016). For these years, precipitation was evaluated using the “Hybrid Method” which
combines the three-prior-month and 30-day rolling total methods (BWSR 2015).

Precipitation data for the survey site was obtained from the Minnesota Climatology Office website
(http://climate.umn.edu/gridded_data/precip/wetland/wetland.asp). Detailed precipitation data for
each year evaluated (corresponding to each year of available aerial photography) are included in
Appendices F and G, and summarized in Table 12 below. The target location used for obtaining
the nearest precipitation data for the site was based on the following:

Months refer to the three 30-day periods prior to the imagery date (not calendar months).
Climate assessments were derived by comparing the 30-day rolling total to the monthly range of
normal precipitation. See also Appendices F and G.
Thirteen years of FSA imagery were available from the Dakota County Soil and Water
Conservation District, covering the years of 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1991-1999. An additional
eleven years of recent aerial photography was obtained from the USDA NRCS Geospatial Data
Gateway (https://gdg.sc.egov.usda.gov/) including the years 2000, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008-2010,
2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016. Each year’s aerial photography was overlaid with the two wetland
areas reviewed for wetland hydrology to compare wetland signatures from previous years
(Appendix E: Figures 1-24).
FSA and NRCS imagery were reviewed for the presence of specific wetland features that were
noted with the following terminology in the Hydrology Assessment with Aerial Imagery –
Recording Forms.
Wet: Outline of the wetland in question can readily be seen and photographic signatures are caused
by wetness.
CS – crop stress: obvious difference in crop condition for crop at site due to wetness versus
crop in surrounding field(s); may include color (photo tone), size of crop, different planting
dates
DO – drowned out: site appears to have been tilled through and possibly planted; however,
pattern of crop appears as though all or part has been drowned out
NC – not cropped: site appears to have natural vegetative cover rather than annual crops;
no obvious tillage pattern lines through the site; adjacent cropped area squared-up or
otherwise planted to avoid the area
SW – standing water: surface water visible on image
AP – altered pattern: detectable differences in vegetation or cropping patterns resulting
from delayed planting dates or other alteration to standard farming practices as a result of
wetness
SS– soil wetness signature: images taken during the early portion of the growing season
may show dark photo tones in areas where the soils are saturated
Dry: Outline of wetland in question cannot readily be seen. Photographic signatures are not due
to wetness, and are due to soil or other factors.
NV – normal vegetation: the outline of the area in question cannot be readily distinguished
from the surrounding upland area or the signature on the image is not due to wetness
NSS – no soil wetness: use when the area is bare soil and not cropped
Appendix H provides the recording forms used to organize the information collected and
interpreted for the hydrology assessment for the one wetland and four non-wetland areas located
within the agricultural field on the Cliff property. These recording forms list for each year of
available aerial imagery: the image source, climate conditions (wet, dry, or normal), and the
interpretation of any visible wetland signatures.

For this type of wetland hydrology determination the procedure requires reviewing a minimum of
five years of photography which represent normal precipitation, or an equal number of wet and
dry years must be added to the analysis. An area is considered to have wetland hydrology if wet
signatures (as described above) are observed in the imagery from greater than 50% of normal
years. For this site nine years of normal precipitation for Wetland D and Non-Wetland Areas 1-4
were evaluated (Table 13).

FSA Review of Wetland D
The area at and immediately around the delineated boundary for Wetland D shows a wet signature
on historic imagery in eight of nine years with normal precipitation. In the years of 1999 a drowned
out wet signature was observed. In 2006 a wet signature of altered pattern was observed. In 1992,
1994, 1995, 1996, 2003, and 2008 a wetland signature can be observed within the boundary of the
delineated wetland from 2017.
Wetland D’s delineated wetland boundary is consistent with wet signatures observed in 89% (8 of
9 years) of the years of imagery with normal precipitation. From data collected in 2017, the area
of Wetland D had hydric soils, two secondary indicators of wetland hydrology (geomorphic
position and FAC-Neutral test) and hydrophytic vegetation present. Based on historic imagery
Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. – Cliff Property, Rosemount, Minnesota
11
review we believe the wetland boundary delineated in 2017 is consistent with the boundaries of
the wetland signatures observed in years of normal precipitation.
FSA Review of Non-Wetland Area 1
Non-Wetland Area 1 shows a wet signature on historic imagery in one of nine years with normal
precipitation. The wet signature observed “soil wetness” was noted in 2003. No other years of
normal precipitation showed a wet signature.
FSA Review of Non-Wetland Area 2
Non-Wetland Area 2 does not show a wet signature on historic imagery in any of the nine years
with normal precipitation.
FSA Review of Non-Wetland Area 3
Non-Wetland Area 3 shows a wet signature on historic imagery in one of nine years with normal
precipitation. The wet signature observed “soil wetness” was noted in 2003. No other years of
normal precipitation showed a wet signature.
FSA Review of Non-Wetland Area 4
Non-Wetland Area 4 shows a wet signature on historic imagery in one of nine years with normal
precipitation. The wet signature observed “soil wetness” was noted in 2003. No other years of
normal precipitation showed a wet signature.
MnRAM
As part of the requirement for submitting a wetland delineation report to the City of Rosemount,
the MnRAM function and value assessment method was conducted on the three wetland areas that
were located within the property boundary. The assessment was conducted to determine the current
wetland classification for management and protection for these wetlands as well as for determining
building setback distances.
From the MnRAM assessment conducted, Wetlands B and E would both be classified as Manage
1 wetlands and Wetland D would be classified as a Manage 2 wetland. Supporting MnRAM
documents including the management classification and site response reports for each wetland is
located in Appendix I of this report.
Summary
On September 26th, 2017 MNR conducted a routine wetland delineation within the 77 acre Cliff
property located at 12523 Akron Ave. in Rosemount, Dakota County, Minnesota. During the on-
site survey for wetlands, MNR delineated the boundaries of three wetlands (Wetland B, D and E).
Four other areas (Areas 1-4) were reviewed for the presence of wetland and all were determined
not to be wetland.
A historic imagery review was conducted in order to accurately determine wetland hydrology for
areas around the perimeter of Wetland D and for Non-Wetland Areas 1-4. These five areas have
all or part of their boundary extending into adjacent cultivated areas. From the historical imagery
review, it was determined that the delineated boundary for Wetland D seems consistent with
Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. – Cliff Property, Rosemount, Minnesota
12
wetland signatures observed in the years with normal precipitation. The result of the FSA
evaluation determined that Wetland D’s current delineated boundaries are accurate and should not
be altered. Non-Wetland Areas 1, 3 and 4 had a wet signature in one of nine years with normal
precipitation and were determined to not being considered wetland. Non-Wetland Area 2 did not
meet any of the three wetland parameters and did not have any wetland signatures observed in the
years with normal precipitation.
The following table lists each wetland’s DNR updated National Wetlands Inventory (June, 2013)
type, along with each wetland’s current Circular 39 type, Cowardian classification, and Eggers
and Reed plant community type that was based on the field determination.

The MnDNR PWI Map indicates no public waters located within the property boundary. The
nearest public waters are located to the west of the property approximately ½ mile away (unnamed
19-316 W) and (unnamed 19-320 W).
Three delineated wetland boundaries were located either entirely or partially within the 77 acre
Cliff property and were delineated using methods and criteria that follow the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (COE) Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987) and the Regional Supplement to the COE
Wetland Delineation Manual: Midwest Region Version 2.0, Aug. 2010. Pin flags set at the
boundaries of Wetland B, D and E were flagged and located by MNR and also located by Pioneer
Engineering, P.A.

Past Year’s Precipitation Data from Gridded Database
Source: Minnesota Climatology Working Group website: http://climate.umn.edu/
Since the delineation of the Cliff property was conducted on September 26, 2017 daily precipitation data
from the months of June, July, and August were reviewed from the Rosemount 3.3 WNW weather station
which is located approximately 2.1 miles west from the project site. Annual precipitation data for the three
months prior to September was obtained from the Minnesota Climatology Working Group from 1998-2017
for the area of Dakota County where the nearest precipitation data was collected for the past 20 years.
Precipitation data was obtained using the following as the target location:
County: Dakota Township Number: 115N
Township Name: Rosemount Range Number: 19W
Nearest Community: Rosemount Section Number: 15
Last 20 Years: 1998-2017 the average precipitation for the month of June = 5.19”, July = 4.14”, and August
= 4.70”.
Last Five Years-June: From 2013-2017 the average precipitation was 7.09” and was within the highest
30th percentile.
Last Five Years-July: From 2013-2017 the average precipitation was 5.01” and was within the highest
30th percentile.
Last Five Years-August: From 2013-2017 the average precipitation was 4.96” and was within the highest
30th percentile.
Recent 2017: During June, 2017 3.5” of precipitation was recorded at the Rosemount 3.3 WNW weather
station. In July 8.03” of precipitation was recorded and in August 7.11” was recorded. In the first 25 days
of September, 1.47” of precipitation was recorded at this weather station and on the day of the delineation,
0.23” of precipitation was recorded.
Average warm season (WARM) precipitation was 21.47”, which is within the 30th to 70th percentile from
1998-2017.
Average calendar year (ANN) precipitation was 34.27”, which is within the highest 30th percentile from
1998-2017.
Average water year (WAT) precipitation was 30.04”, which is within the 30th to 70th percentile from 1998-
2017.
Table 1 on the following page lists the recorded precipitation data for the months of June, July, and August
(the three months prior to when the site visit occurred), warm season, calendar year, and water year amounts
from the last 20 years of available recorded data (1998 to 2017).

Approve Approve with conditions Deny
A field review was conducted on October 25, 2017 by the TEP (LGU, BWSR, SWCD) and the applicant prior to
receiving the completed wetland delineation report on November 2, 2017. Wetlands B, D, and E, and Areas 1-4
were reviewed onsite. The TEP reviewed the boundaries of Wetlands B, D, and E and agreed with the placement.
The soils of Area 1 were investigated by the TEP onsite and the TEP determined that the area was non-wetland
based on the lack of hydric soils. Area 2 was reviewed onsite and the TEP agreed that the area is non-wetland
because it drains through a culvert to the east side of Akron Ave. The TEP agreed that a historic aerial photo
review of Areas 3 and 4 would be necessary to determine if they were wetlands and requested that the historic
aerial photo review be submitted with the wetland delineation report.
BWSR provided comment stating that they agree with the upland determinations of Areas 1-4 in the final wetland
delineation report. No other comments were received.

Replacement Plan Approval Conditions. In addition to any conditions specified by the LGU, the
approval of a Wetland Replacement Plan is conditional upon the following:
Financial Assurance: For project-specific replacement that is not in-advance, a financial assurance
specified by the LGU must be submitted to the LGU in accordance with MN Rule 8420.0522, Subp. 9
(List amount and type in LGU Findings).
Deed Recording: For project-specific replacement, evidence must be provided to the LGU that the
BWSR “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants” and “Consent to Replacement Wetland” forms
have been filed with the county recorder’s office in which the replacement wetland is located.
Credit Withdrawal: For replacement consisting of wetland bank credits, confirmation that BWSR
has withdrawn the credits from the state wetland bank as specified in the approved replacement plan.
Wetlands may not be impacted until all applicable conditions have been met!
MNR performed Level 2 wetland delineation on Wetlands B, D, E, and Areas 1-4. Historic aerial photo review
was completed for Wetland D, and Areas 1-4.
The following were determined to be wetland:
Wetland B (0.50 acre within review area) – Type 5 Open Water (PABH); Manage 1
Wetland D (0.22 acre within review area) – Type 1 Seasonally Flooded Basin (PEMA); Manage 2
Wetland E (2.43 acres within review area) – Type 3/5 Shallow Marsh/Open Water (PEMC/PUBH); Manage 1
The following areas were determined to be upland:
Area 1 – non-hydric soils
Area 2 – lack of hydrology because water flows from area to opposite side of Akron Ave
Area 3 – lack of hydrology; 11% of historic aerial photos showed signatures
Area 4 – lack of hydrology; 11% of historic aerial photos showed signatures
The LGU agrees with the wetland boundary/type of Wetlands B, D, and E. The decision is valid for five years.
