No Date Edina Correction Issues
1. Edina Development shall provide the City a survey of the mitigation
sites for Albert Villas Phases 1-6 which identifies the location of those
sites in relation to existing easements of the City including, but not
limited to, wetland mitigation, drainage, and utility easements. The
purpose of this condition is to allow the City to identify which
mitigation sites are currently within City controlled easements and
which sites are located on private property.
2. Mitigation areas 1m through 4m shall be surveyed in their current
state to accurately identify the proposed construction limits. The
wetland delineation, as identified prior to construction, shall also be
staked in the field. These surveys will be evaluated by the LGU
and/or TEP panel members to determine if corrective action has been
completed as proposed. Previous surveys shall be abandoned.
3. As-built plans shall be provided on mitigation areas 1m through 4m.
As-built drawings shall also be provided for all wetland mitigation
sites and upland buffers areas used for Public Value Credit on Phases
3, 4, and 6. Mitigation and/or buffer deficiencies in Phases 3, 4, and
6, if present, must also be compensated for, either with corrective
action or replacement at 4: 1.
4. Following construction, any areas determined to be deficient, either
due to inadequate construction or inability to gain access to complete
construction, will be included in the mitigation plan to be replaced at a
4: 1 replacement ratio. This is specifically referenced to the east side
of site 2m, but may apply to additional areas.
5. The additional wetland impact located between areas 7f and 8f shall
be replaced at 4: 1 rather than the proposed 2: 1.
6. Mitigation areas 1m through 4m shall be reseeded with a wetland seed
mixture and will be disk anchored with clean straw. The tag (list of
species and quantities provided from vendor) from the wetland seed
mixture used in the mitigation areas must be provided to the City of
Albertville.
7. The area between mitigation areas 3m and 4m must also be reseeded
and regraded if the survey referenced in Item 1 identifies this area as
being filled wetland. This area can also be mitigated off-site at a 4: 1
ratio if restoration cannot be completed.
8. Mitigation site 3m shall have the sod removed from the bottom of the
open water. The removed material must be removed from the
property and disposed of properly. Any exposed bare ground will be
seeded and mulched as per Item 6.
9. Damage to private property resulting from corrective action shall be
restored immediately following construction activities. This may
include, but is not limited to, replacement of sod damaged by
construction vehicles.
lO.Signage as proposed in the Response is acceptable, however, an
example to scale must be provided to the City of Albertville for
approval prior to installation. A plan sheet identifying the proposed
placement locations must also be submitted for approval prior to
installation.
11.Edina Development Corporation shall be responsible for obtaining
any necessary permanent or temporary easements and/or rights-of-
entry on private property for the purpose of accessing, repairing, and
maintaining mitigation sites and for sign placement. All such
easements and rights-of-entry are subject to approval by the City.
12.The City of Albertville shall receive evidence of title and proof of
recording of the deed of restrictions and covenants for all newly
proposed wetland areas and adjacent buffers prior to any lot sales.
These items shall also be supplied for the mitigation areas associated
with Phases 3,4, and 6.
13. The City of Albertville shall be provided a ghost plat of Phase 7 so it
can be determined that the anticipated land uses and layouts will be
acceptable with the proposed mitigation areas.
14.Monitoring for all of the mitigation areas within all phases of Albert
Villas shall be reset to year one status. Monitoring reports shall be
submitted by August 15 of each year, starting in 2005, to allow for
field verification within the growing season.
15.The City of Albertville shall receive a letter of credit for $50,000 for
the new wetland mitigation areas, plus an additional $10,000 cash
escrow for wetland monitoring. These funds may be drawn upon by
the City of Albertville if Edina Development does not willfully
comply with the conditions of this order.
16.Edina Development must prepare education materials that describe the
benefits of wetlands and buffers, and identifies the land uses allowed,
or not allowed in these areas. These materials must be provided to all
residences within all current and future phases of Albert Villas, and
shall include figures that identify the wetlands and buffers present in
all phases of the Albert Villas development. Examples of similar
materials may be obtained from the Board of Water and Soil
Resources.
17. The large earthen mounds currently located in the vicinity of the new
mitigation areas in Phase 7 must be removed.
