Re: Revised Joint Application Form
Revised USACE Jurisdictional Impacts
AVIENDA VILLAGE, CHANHASSEN, MN (MVP-2015-03075-RMM)
This memo provides a revised project grading plan and an updated summary of proposed
wetland impacts along with the jurisdictional status of impacted wetlands. The revised joint
application form is attached.
This memo also provides an avoidance and minimization discussion for proposed impacts to
Wetland 6.
Project Description
Level 7 Development, LLC is proposing to develop a 119.88-acre site in the City of Chanhassen
as Avienda Village, a mixed use Regional/Lifestyle Center Planned Unit Development (PUD)
that will include a retail hub of specialty shops and restaurants, anchor retail, local supporting
retail, hospitality, medical and professional offices, and townhomes and apartments to service an
existing trade area population of more than 400,000 residents within and surrounding the City of
Chanhassen.
A wetland permit application was submitted to the USACE on January 12, 2017, and
supplemental supporting information was provided to the USACE on June 5, 2017. Those
materials contain all requested information regarding the project purpose and need, a detailed
project description, and proposed compensatory mitigation.
On September 1, 2017 the USACE issued a joint Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination and
Approved Jurisdictional Determination for onsite water resources. According to the approval,
Wetlands 1, 1/2, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 as well as the north tributary were determined to be isolated
and not regulated under Section 404. Wetlands 4, 6, and 10 and the south tributary were
determined to be non-isolated and regulated under Section 404.
Revised Avienda Project Plan
A revised project layout is shown on Figure A. A close-up of the only USACE regulated
wetland impact is shown on Figure B. The revised grading plan is provided on Sheet C3.3.
Proposed wetland impacts and jurisdictional status for each impacted wetland is provided in
Table 1 below.
Former proposed impact to Wetland 4 has been eliminated, and the entire area of Wetland 4 will
now be avoided.
Impact to Wetland 6 has been significantly (nearly 50%) reduced by removing the previously
proposed stormwater pond and incorporating its treatment function within other stormwater
BMPs in the updated Draft Stormwater management Plan. Impact reduction for Wetland 6 was
feasible because it is located along the periphery of the project limits and within a natural low
spot that was originally proposed to be used entirely for stormwater treatment purposes. This
situation does not apply for the remaining wetlands proposed for impact (Wetlands 1, 1/2, 2, 5, 7,
8, and 9). The reduced impact to Wetland 6 has resulted in significant modification to the
previously submitted Draft Stormwater Management Plan. A revised Draft Stormwater
Management Plan has been submitted to the LGU.

Total 0.4986
With the revised project plan, total proposed USACE jurisdiction wetland impacts total 0.4986
acres for fill for site grading reconciliation within the east half of Wetland 6.
Wetland 6 Avoidance & Minimization Discussion
Impacts to Wetland 6 could be completely avoided by moving the alignment of Aveinda
Parkway to the southeast, and eliminating development in the northwest one-fourth of the site.
Wetland 6 is a sloping/swale wetland. Its eastern boundary elevation is 896-ft, and its western
boundary elevation is 886-ft. The elevation of Avienda Parkway will sit at or close to 921-ft (25
feet higher than the east wetland boundary). Therefore, in order to completely avoid impact to
Wetland 6 and tie into the elevation of Avienda Parkway, a large area upslope of Wetland 6
would also need to be avoided to allow space for this extensive grading transition zone.
Relocating Avienda Parkway to the southeast would eliminate the “ring-road” alignment and
compromise the circulating traffic system. Elimination of office/housing/retail in the northwest
one-fourth of the site would not meet the project purpose and need as described in previous
submittals. Compete avoidance of Wetland 6 would therefore not meet the project purpose, and
was therefore rejected.
Impact to Wetland 6 has been minimized to the extent practicable by constructing 4:1 to 5:1
grade (approx. 25%) side slopes outside of the footprint of developed area. This is the steepest
slope possible that will allow the slope to be maintained and provide vehicle access to the base
of the slope for periodic maintenance of culverts, etc.
A wetland buffer of 40-feet width surrounding Wetland 6 is required by the Watershed District.
Fill within this buffer area is included in the 0.4986-acre of wetland impact number, even though
fill within portions of wetland “converted” to buffer may not actually occur.
The remaining portion of Wetland 6 sits at the base of topography. According to the engineer’s
stormwater calculations, the remaining portion of Wetland 6 will receive equal or increased
discharge runoff volumes post development. Because Wetland 6 is a flow-through wetland, and
because the wetland’s outlet will not be altered, no changes to the remaining portion of Wetland
6 post-development are predicted.
Compensatory Mitigation
To mitigate for USACE regulated wetland impacts (0.4986-ac), the applicant will purchase
0.9972 acres of credit from a USACE certified wetland bank within the same Bank Service Area
as the project (i.e., BSA9). The wetland banks and credit types listed Attachment D of the joint
application form are the only banks and credit types available for purchase in BSA9.
With submission of the revised grading plan and joint application form, we are requesting that
the USACE review this project for qualification for a nationwide permit.
Thank you.
