City Planner Anderson replied that the Code would allow for the orange snow fencing or traditional <br /> silt fence. He stated that the fencing provides a physical barrier to ensure that equipment and <br /> grading activities do not go past that point. He stated that could be placed on the edge of a tree <br /> line or around clusters of trees. He noted that in this project there are certain trees that will be <br /> marked as protected during grading and construction. He also clarified that tree save fencing is <br /> temporary and ultimately is removed when construction activity is complete. <br /> Motion by Board Member Covart and seconded by Board Member Hiatt to approve the Landscape <br /> Plan, contingent upon compliance with Staffs requested revisions/corrections, and with the <br /> additional recommendation that a noise study be completed by the developer. <br /> A roll call vote was performed: <br /> Board Member Hiatt aye <br /> Board Member Fetterley aye <br /> Board Member Moore aye <br /> Board Member Covart aye <br /> Chairperson Valentine aye <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 5.02: Consider Recommendation on Ordinance#20-04 (Landscape Requirements) <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that as the EPB knows, staff is working <br /> on an ordinance amendment regarding landscaping requirements. Due to a couple of recent <br /> development proposals, staff wanted to check back in with the EPB regarding one aspect of the <br /> draft ordinance, which addresses detached townhomes and villas. <br /> Board Member Covart asked for clarification on the tree requirement. <br /> City Planner Anderson stated that two trees would be required for 80-foot lots and rural developing <br /> lots. He noted that the difference would appear in the R-1 villas. He also reviewed the <br /> requirements for R-2 and R-3. <br /> 5.03: Consider Recommendation from the Lower Rum River Water Management <br /> Organization to Provide Educational Campaign for Rum River Wild and Scenic <br /> Overlay District <br /> City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that in 1978, the State of Minnesota <br /> added the Rum River to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Program. The stretch of river through Ramsey <br /> is designated as Scenic (meaning, at the time of designation, the adjacent lands were mostly <br /> undeveloped and therefore provided a sense of natural character). When the State added the Rum <br /> River to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Program,they also developed a Management Plan and directed <br /> local municipalities and counties to adopt and enforce zoning standards in compliance with the <br /> Management Plan. The City of Ramsey officially adopted the Scenic River Protection Overlay <br /> District, which incorporated the standards outlined in Minnesota Rules 6105.1400 through <br /> 6105.1500. <br /> Environmental Policy Board/August 17, 2020 <br /> Page 3 of 5 <br />
