Board Member Fetterley commented that the developer has done a nice job attempting to minimize <br />impacts and encroachment to the wetlands. She stated that she would like it made clear as to the <br />maximum area that can be impacted so that is not questioned down the road. She stated that they <br />would be comfortable with the additional condition if the Board desires. <br />Kendra Lindal, Landform, stated that she was present to answer any questions. She thanked staff <br />for doing a great job of presenting the request. She stated that they do not want to fill wetland to <br />create additional setback, which is why they requested the variance. <br />Motion by Board Member Fetterley and seconded by Board Member Little to recommend approval <br />of the requested variance to deviate from the wetland setback requirement on Lots 3 — 5, Block 1, <br />Williams Woods with the additional condition that the maximum driveway width would be ten <br />feet through the encroachment area. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chairperson Covart, Board Member Fetterley, Little, Hiatt, and <br />Moore. Voting No: None. Absent: Board Member Bernard and Valentine. <br />5.03: Consider Landscape Plan for Knoll Properties 2nd Addition <br />City Planner Anderson presented the staff report. He stated that the City has received an <br />application for Site Plan and Plat review for Knoll Properties 2'd Addition. The proposed project <br />is located at the northeast corner of Ramsey Boulevard and Sunwood Drive. Anderson Dahlen, <br />the applicant, is an existing Ramsey business and is expanding. This site allows the business to <br />continue operating in Ramsey. The applicant proposes construction of a roughly 64,000 square <br />foot building with the potential for a future addition of another 52,000 square feet. <br />Board Member Moore referenced the landscape plan shown with comments noting that there is a <br />pond shown and asked if that is located on the subject property. <br />City Planner Anderson confirmed that pond on the east side of the lot would be part of this <br />property. He stated that the proposed subdivision would have a few outlots and provided additional <br />input on those outlots. <br />Board Member Moore asked if the seeding shown in the pond area would be within the pond or <br />around the pond. <br />City Planner Anderson confirmed that the basin and edges of the pond would be seeded. <br />Chairperson Covart asked if staff ran the proposal on the old standards for comparison. <br />City Planner Anderson commented that this would meet the old standards. He stated that if the <br />new standard is not met, some species could be changed in order to comply if necessary. <br />Motion by Board Member Little and seconded by Board Member Fetterley to recommend approval <br />of the Landscape Plan and Tree Inventory and Preservation Plan, contingent upon compliance with <br />Staff comments in Projectdox. <br />Environmental Policy Board / July 19, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />
