RE: Albertville, Minnesota
Towne Lakes Phase II
SEH No. A-ALBEV0301.00
Honorable Mayor and Council Members
City of Albertville
5975 Main Avenue
P. O. Box 9
Albertville, MN 55301
Dear Honorable Mayor and Council Members:
The Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) has reviewed the Wetland Replacement Plan application for
the Towne Lakes Phase II Development as required under the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act
(WCA). The original application was submitted on February 12, 2003 and the TEP had additional
comments on the development and replacement plan. A subsequent addendum to Wetland
Replacement Plan application was submitted on March 17, 2003. This addendum was reviewed and
moved through the approval process by the TEP.
Upon TEP review, several issues still needed to be addressed including the following conditions for
City Council approval of the Replacement Plan. The TEP has reviewed the revisions and approves
the Replacement Plan application with the following conditions:
1. That an NPDES permit for construction sites be obtained and BMPs be implemented on the
site.
2. That a performance bond or other surety in the amount of not less than $30,000 be held by the
City and reserved specifically to guarantee the successful completion of the wetland
replacement as is now required under WCA (8420.0530, Subpart B2).
3. A Contractor's Responsibility and Landowner's Statement Form be completed and copied to
the TEP (8420.02990, Subpart 6).
4. A Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for the Replacement Wetlands be completed and
copied to the TEP (8420.0530, Subpart D6).
5. That Mitigation Area M1 be constructed to provide water depths no more that 2 to 3 feet during
normal precipitation conditions.
6. That signage stating "Wetland Mitigation Area" or similar to keep wetland buffer areas of
mitigation sites natural as required under WCA be posted.
