LRRWMO Meeting Minutes March 18, 1993 Page 6 developer is proposing to extend the residential development into Sunny Pond to include that area. The plans call for the creation of a cul-de-sac which will drain to Sunny Pond. Jankowski indicated this development is brought to the attention of the LRRWMO because it will. affect an existing Type I or II wetland in the area. However, he did not have available with him documentation on that wetland identification. The wetland was reportedly delineated by John Anderson when the Sunny Ponds development was done. Jankowski stated it will be very difficult to avoid the wetland no matter what was done with-the cul-de-sac; it will be impacted. What is being proposed is that the entire wetland be relocated along the southern boundary and the nearby street also be relocated. There is proposed an overflow outlet to the storm sewer. Water draining into this area will be local. Drainage from the area to the north will go toward County Road 5, discharged, and channeled to this wetland. Jankowski stated mitigation is proposed on a 1:1 basis. Upon discussion about construction in this area, Jankowski suggested they strip out the existing soil, stockpile it, and eventually put it back. Considerable discussion ensued relative to the water table. Schrantz and Schultz stated the plan, as proposed, does not coincide with the recommendations of Bob Beduhn, Barr Engineering Consulting Engineer now reviewing LRRWMO projects. Upon review of the preliminary plat, Schrantz and Schultz indicated they also feared residential construction in the area would be negatively impacted by water if built at the contour level proposed. Jankowski stated the preliminary plan has been revised since the Barr Engineering review dated March 12, 1993, was received. He agreed perhaps these revised plans should be sent to Barr Engineering for review. The board concurred. Barr Engineering's March 12, 1993, comments regarding this proposed project were reviewed. Weaver commended the City of Ramsey for complying with the rules of mitigation and for creating a productive property out of a non-productive property. Considerable discussion continued relative to the problems with the proposed plat in relation to the 100-year flood elevation, which was said to be at 864 MSL. Schultz, Schrantz, and Ferguson stated that the lowest point of any construction should be at least one foot above that flood
