REPORT OF OFFICERS Fourth Quarter 1992• First Second and Third Quarter 1993 Reports -Ramsey Jankowski distributed and reviewed a status report for Ramsey projects as of October 15, 1993 (attached). The Commission reviewed each project included in the report. Schultz asked if permits are required if drainage goes into a sedimentation pond before the wetland. Haas commented that in Andover the developer must comply with the WMO Plan but would not need a permit if there is no residential development being constructed and it does not affect Class A or B waters. The Commission briefly discussed DNR Protected Wetland 114-P. Jankowski pointed out this is a unique water body since it is designated as Class B but the northern portion is similar to other DNR protected wetlands. Weaver commented that four of Ramsey's projects have outlets into 114-P which may make the wetland a Class B. Schultz questioned the need to redesign sedimentation ponds if additional projects are allowed to use them. Haas agreed and explained that Andover will be establishing and designing a plan for sedimentation ponds so they can predetermine how to handle this type of situation. He added that the developer is given the WMO Plan requirements and required to design for what will ultimately go into the system. With regard to this particular area, Jankowski explained that the ponds were looked at in a comprehensive manner during the preliminary plat stage. He asked how costs are shared if the pond needs to be substantially larger than what is actually needed for a particular development. Haas stated Andover would assess the area of benefit.
