SUMMARY OF REQUEST: Wetland Alteration Permit in conjunction with the reconstruction of Audubon Road from a two -lane urban section with dedicated turn lanes and construction of a mixed -use recreational trail and storm sewer infrastructure. LOCATION: Bluff Creek — a public water between properties 8900 and 8950 Audubon Road (PIDs 25- 8250010 and 25- 8090020) in Carver County, Minnesota. APPLICANT: City of Chanhassen Attn: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager 7700 Market Boulevard, P.O. Box 147 Chanhassen, MN 55317 PRESENT ZONING: Rural Residential 2020 LAND USE PLAN: Rural Residential LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION - MAKING: The City has limited discretion in approving or denying wetland alteration permits, based on whether or not the proposal meets the wetland alteration permit standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If the City finds that all the applicable wetland alteration permit standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision. Notice of this public hearing has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PROPOSAL SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND The City of Chanhassen is proposing to reconstruct Audubon Road from Lyman Boulevard to Lake Drive West. The project will involve upgrading a rural road section to an urban road section. This will incorporate the construction of dedicated turn lanes, the installation of a storm sewer conveyance system, the construction of a mixed -use recreational trail, and other Audubon Wetland Alteration Permit 2010 -07 May 18, 2010 Page 2 of 4 appurtenant facilities. This project is needed to meet the existing and anticipated average daily trips generated on this road. In order to accommodate the trail extension, 560 square feet of wetland will be permanently impacted when the box culvert which conveys Bluff Creek is extended eight feet westward. Compensatory mitigation for the impacted wetlands will be accomplished through the withdrawal of wetland credits from the Minnesota Wetland Bank Account #127 owned by the City of Chanhassen. Because the trail is not considered a necessary safety upgrade for the road, it is not eligible for the BWSR Road Replacement program. The Joint Notification Application (see attachment 4) was submitted to the Carver County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), the Minnesota Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR), the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the United States Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers for review and comment on April 22, 2010 as required by state and federal law. The public comment period ends on May 17, 2010. As of the time of this report, no comments had been received from the reviewing agencies. Any comments received will be provided to the Planning Commission in a timely manner. The City has taken efforts to minimize the proposed wetland impacts. These modifications included narrowing the boulevard to seven feet, shortening the culvert extension by four feet, and maintaining 3:1 slopes from the shoulder to the wetland. Consideration was also given to using retaining walls or further narrowing the boulevard. In both cases it was found to be impractical to do so. Upon review of these plan revisions, it has been determined that impacts have been minimized to the greatest extent practicable. The replacement wetland must be located within the same watershed and replace similar functions and values. If it does not, an increased mitigation ratio may be required. The wetland bank is of the same wetland type and is located within the City of Chanhassen. Therefore the replacement only requires a 2:1 ratio. APPLICABLE REGUATIONS The Wetland Protection Ordinance requires that development must first try to avoid any wetland impacts. In it is determined that avoidance is not a reasonably attainable option, then every reasonable effort must be made to minimize these impacts to the greatest extent practicable. Any unavoidable impacts must be mitigated for at a ratio consistent with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act: in this instance that ratio is 2:1. ANALYSIS It has been determined that there is no way to construct the mixed -use recreational trail along the west side of Audubon Road without extending the existing box culvert to Bluff Creek. It is this extension that results in the wetland impact. City staff has shortened the extension as much as possible to minimize impact to the wetland as required by ordinance. These minimization techniques included: Audubon Wetland Alteration Permit 2010 -07 May 18, 2010 Page 3 of 4 • Using four -foot box culvert pieces rather than six -foot pieces. • Narrowing the boulevard from eight (8) feet to seven (7) feet. • Maintaining a 3: slope down to the wetland. The mitigation will occur at a 2:1 ratio. The compensatory mitigation involves the withdrawal of 0.0257 acres of wetland credit from Account #127 in Carver County. This account is located within the City of Chanhassen and is managed by the City of Chanhassen. FINDINGS The Technical Evaluation Panel has met and reviewed the proposed project and found the following to be true: 1. The impacts associated with this project have been avoided and minimized to the greatest extent practicable. 2. The road reconstruction portion of the project is necessary to meet State design and safety guidelines. 3. The proposed mitigation is appropriately sized, situated and is of the same wetland type. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt the following motion: "The ' ., ... _ . _ Chanhassen City Council approves Wetland Alteration Permit #2010 -07 for the reconstruction of Audubon Road and appurtenant facilities with the following conditions: 1. The applicant shall submit the Application for Withdrawal of Wetland Credits from the Minnesota Wetland Bank to the Board of Water and Soil Resources Wetland Bank Administrator, and no impacts to wetland shall occur prior to the local authorities, the account holder and the user of the credits having received a letter of approval from the Wetland Bank Administrator stating that these credits have been debited. 2. A letter of permission (LOP) or other approval from the United States Army Corps of Engineers shall be received prior to any impacts to this wetland. 3. A DNR Waters permit shall be received from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources prior to any work within the wetland or Bluff Creek. 4. Per DNR rules, no activity affecting the bed of Bluff Creek may occur between April 1 and June 30 to minimize the probability of impacts to fish spawning and migration. Audubon Wetland Alteration Permit 2010 -07 May 18, 2010 Page 4 of 4 5. Every reasonable effort shall be made to insure that no sediment or sediment -laden waters are discharged to this wetland. 6.
