HomeMy WebLinkAboutWINDTRAIL TOWNHOMES PUD FIRST REPLAT MINOR SUBDIVISION - 66 93F - CORRESPONDENCE - STORMWATER-RELATED DOCUMENTS (3)6..A conceptual/preliminary wetland restoration/stormwater
management plan needs to be provided to the City Natural
Resource, Stormwater Utility, and Planning departments for
review prior to finalizing engineering plans. These plans will
also need to be reviewed by neighborhood groups for their
approval.
7. The City will lift the stop work order for the area of
construction related to the first nine (9) building permits as
noted in the development agreement, so long as construction
activities do not impact wetland areas. However, the stop work
order will remain in effect for the area encompassed by the
drainage facilities. If additional work needs to be done in this
area prior to completion of stormwater design in order to
temporarily prevent property damages related to stormwater
management, such work must be approved in the field by
representatives of both the City's Stormwater Utility and the
Natural Resources Department.

Dear Mr. McCoy
This is a follow-up letter to our meeting on Thursday, May 25,
1995 regarding .the wetland disturbance at Windtrail P.U.D. The
following is a summary of staff's position regarding remedial
actions which need to be pursued:
1. In order to determine more accurately the extent of remedial
activities which are appropriate, the developer needs to survey
the area to clearly establish the size of the area of wetland
disturbed.
2. Since we are looking at the replacement of wetlands lost through
disturbance, a formula of replacement at 1.5 times the area of
disturbance is requested.
3. The design concept should be naturalistic in appearance. Instead
of a narrow trapazoidal channel, a broader, sheet -flow dependent
design with native wetland vegetation should be the goal.
4. The design should also reflect existing groundwater conditions
and utilize existing subdrains to support the creation of
wetlands where possible.
5. The design and construction of detention facilities will be
governed as follows:
a. Detention facilities should be constructed
outside of the current boundaries of existing natural
wetlands.
b. If an existing wetland area is to serve a detention
function, the project should be designed to assure that all
proposed grading (e.g. berming) will occur outside the
boundary of natural wetlands.
c. Proposed grading should blend with existing topography in
such a manner as to lend a natural appearance to the graded
area.
d. All disturbed and constructed areas should be planted with
native. wetland vegetation, grasses, trees, and shrubs.
Please have your Landscape Architect prepare an amended
landscape plan.
