Re: Avienda WCA Permit Application
WSB Project No. 1694-860
On behalf of the Local Government Unit (LGU) for the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), we have
received your revised application dated February 15, 2017 for wetland impact and replacement for the
proposed Avienda project. This application was received by the City of Chanhassen on February 21,
2017. We have reviewed the application for completeness in conformance with Minnesota Rules 8420.
The application has been determined to be incomplete. The following items are needed to complete the
application:
Per 8420.0748 Subp 2 and noted in the application form, the applicant must provide
documentation indicating that they have contacted the wetland bank account owner, the owner
has credits available to sell, and the owner is willing to sell the credits .
Per the WCA checklist, the amount of replacement credit to be withdrawn needs to be in a square
feet.
Per 8420.0330 Subp A. 6, a list of all other known local, state, and federal permits and approvals
required for this activity. This should also acknowledge the necessity to complete the AUAR
Update or other environmental review process prior local approvals being provided.
These items are noted on the attached “Replacement Plan: Complete Application Checklist” which was
signed by the City of Chanhassen on March 9, 2017. This checklist was also reviewed with the
development team at a meeting between city staff and the development team on March 9, 2017.
If you would like to continue with the permit application process, please submit the necessary information
to the city and to me. If deemed complete, the permit application can be noticed to the TEP. As
discussed at our March 9 meeting and outlined in the attached checklist, review and evaluation of the
other aspects of the project in conformance with MR8420 will occur during the comment period.
If you have questions, please feel free to call me at 763-287-7196 or email me at amoffatt@wsbeng.com.
