Chairperson Stodola provided an alternate example of lots that could be combined to arrange the <br />lots in another manner to be similar, which would provide the developer with a loss of one lot <br />compared to a loss of two lots as proposed by staff. <br />Board Member Valentine asked what the proposal for access would be if the proposal did not <br />move forward as proposed for the cul-de-sac. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that the alternative would be that the cul-de-sac would be no more <br />than 600 feet. He explained the equipment that is used for snow removal on a cul-de-sac. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau asked if the road would be built now, or whether that would be a <br />possibility for the future, if the access for the right-of-way for the road were to be dedicated now. <br />He asked why the 1,200-foot cul-de-sac would be allowed if the road is not going to be <br />dedicated. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that the corridor would be dedicated at this time, so that the road <br />could be constructed in the future should that be deemed necessary. He explained that there <br />would be significant wetland impacts should the road be constructed now or in the future. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau asked where the wetland mitigation would occur should that <br />roadway be constructed. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that would be decided by the Lower Rum River Watershed <br />Management Organization (LRRWMO), noting that if that is the choice the applicant would <br />need to submit that to the LRRWMO for a decision. He stated that if the roadway connection <br />were provided through this application, the responsibility would then be on the developer. He <br />provided additional background information on wetland banking and the ability to purchase <br />credits. <br />Board Member Valentine asked if staff is confident that the developer is prepared to take on the <br />complexity of wetland mitigation. <br />City Planner Anderson replied that the developer is more than competent to go through that <br />process. <br />Councilmember LeTourneau stated that the wetlands may come from other areas outside of <br />Ramsey but noted that if the LRRWMO manages the choice, the benefits will benefit the <br />watershed as a whole including Ramsey. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that he is unsure if the developer is thinking about using the <br />wetland bank but noted that is simply an option. <br />Board Member Hiatt asked if the potential exists for the developer to receive a variance for the <br />1,200-foot cul-de-sac which would avoid the wetland impacts. He asked should the variance be <br />issued, would that then set a precedent for other cases. <br />City Planner Anderson stated that is a possibility and explained the issuance of a variance is not <br />precedent setting as each case must be reviewed uniquely on its own merits. <br />Environmental Policy Board / September 19, 2016 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
