LRRWMO Meeting Minutes May 20, 1992 Page 4 Doug Fischer, Anoka County Design Engineer, discussed with the board the county approved access to Highway 116, which will result in a four -lane highway all the way to Highway 47. Jankowski noted the comments received from the LRRWMO Consul- ting Engineer noting that the placement of material excavated from the wetlands in the proposed wetlands will result in the growth of wetland species similar to the types lost due to this project. He appears to be comfortable with that aspect of the proposal. Jankowski indicated Skallman is, however, concerned with the potential for erosion. Schrantz stated the City of Andover will address and correct that erosion concern to the Consulting Engineer's satisfaction. Jankowski felt he could then be comfortable with the project. Motion was made by Jankowski, seconded by Erickson, to APPROVE PERMIT #92 -6100 FOR THE CITY OF ANDOVER, MEADOWS OF ROUND LAKE PROJECT. Erickson queried whether the quality of the wetland replace- ment will be upgraded. Mr. Fischer stated quality is not addressed in the interim wetland regulations, there is merely a one to one ratio requirement. Mr. Newman indicated part of the plan is to do enhancement. Schrantz confirmed the city has done everything the DNR has required of them, as shown on the plans. VOTE: 4 ayes - 0 nayes. Motion carried. Douglas Mr. Fischer addressed the board with his request for consideration. Anoka County is proposing a culvert replacement of CR 58 at County Ditch Number six. Not only did Mr. Fischer request LRRWMO approval of this project but, more importantly, expressed the county's desire to work out a permanent arrangement for dealing with maintenance projects of this type in the future. Mr. Fischer's May 13, 1992, letter to Schrantz and attached information addressing this matter was noted. Mr. Fischer explained the county will be upgrading an exist- ing roadway from CSAH 7 to CSAH 9. In doing so it will be necessary to remove and replace a 60 foot culvert at County Ditch Number Six with a 120 foot culvert to provide suffi- cient length for proper shoulder width and side slopes. However, because of the increased culvert length, the embank- ment slopes will fill approximately 790 square yards of type two wetlands. A map of the proposed area was viewed.
