. . . Final Plat Review: Sweetbay Ridge July 21, 2006 50f6 . Lots 1-4 Block 4 . Lots 1-5 Bl,ock 5 . Lotsl-7Blbck6 F or lots that will be custom graded, at the time of building permit application, a detailed inventory of trees that indicates trees to be pre~erved and removed will be required, including species, size, and condition. Based on that information, landscaping requirements for those individual lots may be reduced. Please submit a revised plan. Tree Preservation Plan: The site contains a large number of trees with a variety species, including several species of oak and pine, black cherry, aspen, hackberry and American elm, all of which are desirable trees. Some of the denser areas are proposed to be custom graded which provides a greater opportunity to preserve quality trees. Even in areas that are to be mass graded, there may be opportunities to preserve clusters of trees. Tree save fencing is required around all trees or groups of trees to be preserved. The fencing . shall include, at a minimum, the entire area beneath the tree canopy. No construction activity whatsoever may occur within these areas and moreover, no construction shall begin until this fencing has been installed and approved by the City. Existing trees should be taken into consideration when determining the actual location of the trail, especially along Variolite 81. These trees can act as a buffer for the new lots against the noise and dust generated from traffic. Meandering of the trail to avoid quality trees is strongly encouraged. Site Contamination: The subject property for this developm~nt is the site of the St. Anthony Gun Club, which has b~en documented to have contamination from lead shot and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAR's). Council granted preliminary plat approval with certain conditions. One of the conditions restricted application for fInal plat approval prior to NfPCA issuing a Certificate of Completion for the site clean up. On June 13, 2006, the City Council agreed that in the interest of time, application for final plat approval could be accepted by the City and processed concurrently with MPCA consideration of the CertifIcate of Completion. It was noted that final plat approval, as well as preliminary plat approval, remains to be contingent upon MPCA issuance of the Certificate of Completion. Stormwater Management Fee: A storm water management fee must be paid for the new lots being created. The 2006 rate is $397.00 per unit; the rate in effect at the time of fmal plat approval will be collected. ' '-. -255-
