Review File: 6080 Highway 10: Landscaping and Natural Resources Page 2 of 2 • The plan is deficient of the Density Transitioning requirements along the western boundary of the site. A revised Landscape Plan had been submitted (dated January 25, 2019) that included additional plantings that appeared to satisfy this requirement but those are not shown on this plan. Additional plantings must be included on Outlot A and the portion of Outlot B that is between Lot 1, Block 2 and the existing home to the west. • The southwest portion of the site (southern part of Outlot B) is within the MRCCA, which prohibits clear cutting within 200 feet of the OHW of the Mississippi River. Adjustments will likely be necessary to avoid the proposed clear cutting to accommodate the stormwater pond. • If some trees are removed within the MRCCA boundary, additional trees shall be replanted in this general vicinity to reestablish canopy cover. • The Landscape Legend includes RC in the key for Holmstrup Arborvitae; however, RC is not shown on the plan anywhere. The plan does show a symbol of HA, but that is not included in the legend. Correct this discrepancy. • A seed mix with deeper rooting species shall be utilized adjacent to the river. Sheet T1 (Tree Preservation) • The southwest portion of the site (southern part of Outlot B) is within the MRCCA, which prohibits clear cutting within 200 feet of the OHW of the Mississippi River. Add the MRCCA layer to this sheet. Per City Code Section 117-148(f), no clear cutting may occur within this overlay district, which will likely require modifications to the ponding/grading/drainage plans. • Tree save fencing must be included on this sheet as well as the grading plan around all trees proposed to be saved.
