(plastic) fibers. Review mulch products and do not allow materials with synthetic <br />(plastic) fiber additives in areas that drains into Public Waters. <br />• Construction areas should be thoroughly checked for turtles before the use of heavy <br />equipment or any ground disturbance. If turtles are in imminent danger, they should <br />be moved out of harm's way. Otherwise, they should be left undisturbed. <br />A Blanding's turtle fact sheet that describes the habitat use and life history of the species <br />along with two lists of recommendations for avoiding and minimizing impacts to the turtles <br />is included in Appendix C. <br />If tree clearing or structure demolition is anticipated, it is recommended to occur from <br />November 1"-March 315t, which is outside of the active bat season. <br />Wildlife Habitat and Sensitive Ecological Resources <br />The developer will prepare a tree replacement plan to meet city code as site planning <br />progresses. <br />15. Historic Properties <br />Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties <br />on or in close proximity to the site. Include 1) historic designations; 2) known artifact <br />areas; and 3) architectural features. Attach letter received from the State Historic <br />Preservation Office (SHPO). Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during <br />project construction and operation. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, <br />minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties. <br />A search of the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office's (SHPO) Statewide Inventory was <br />requested to identify known historic properties and archaeological sites in the vicinity of the <br />project (see Appendix C). Within Section 25, Township 32, Range 25 three archaeological records <br />and one historic property record was identified. The historic property, District No. 28 School, is <br />listed on the National Register of Historic places and is within a half -mile of the project site. <br />None of the sites or property will be impacted by the development. <br />It is not anticipated that unknown archaeological sites will be uncovered during the construction <br />of this project as the site has been previously disturbed. However, if cultural materials are <br />encountered during construction, unanticipated discovery protocols will be followed. <br />1 6.Visual <br />Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related <br />visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual <br />effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual <br />effects. <br />The site includes existing institutional and residential land that is not near any unique designated <br />scenic views or vistas. Future development would conform with the zoning regulations for <br />building height, building form, landscape screening, and lighting would be in conformance with <br />city ordinances. Adverse visual effects are not anticipated. <br />Haviland Fields EAW 22 July 2023 <br />
