WETLAND ALTERATION PERMIT #08-07
1. Penni1. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the City of Chanhassen
hereby grants a wetland alteration pennit for the following use:
Wetland Alteration Pennit for filling of 0.13 acres of wetland as part of the
development of the Audubon Corporate Center 1 st Addition as shown on the plans
prepared by McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc., dated February 15,2008,
revised February 29,2008 and April 4, 2008.
2. Property. The pennit is for property situated in the City of Chanhassen, Carver County,
Minnesota, and legally described as follows:
Part of the North half of the Southwest Quarter of Section 14, Township 116, Range
23, Carver County, Minnesota, described as follows:
Beginning at a point on the west line of said North half of the Southwest Quarter,
821.90 feet, measured along said west line, southerly of the northwest comer of said
North Half of the Southwest Quarter said west line assumed to bear South 2 degrees
11 minutes 01 seconds East; thence North 87 degrees 48 minutes 59 seconds East, a
distance of 550.00 feet~ thence North 2 degrees 11 minutes 01 seconds West,
parallel with said west line, a distance of 180.00 feet; thence North 32 degrees 05
minutes 05 seconds West, a distance of 662.31 feet to the southeasterly right of way
line of the Chicago, Milwaukee, S1. Paul and Pacific Railroad, as recorded in Bock
23 of Deed, page 266; thence South 55 degrees 32 minutes 41 seconds West, along
said southeasterly right of way line, a distance of 260.00 feet to said west line of the
North half of the Southwest quarter; thence South 2 degrees 11 minutes 01 seconds
East, along said west line, a distance of 615.32 feet to the point of beginning.
Subject to County Road No. 17 over the westerly 33.00 feet of the above described
parcel.
3. Conditions. The pennit is issued subject to the following conditions:
1
a. The applicant shall produce an Application for Withdrawal of Wetland Credits and
a purchase agreement for the application to be considered complete. Upon receipt
of this information, a notice of application will be sent to the required recipient list
and comments must be accepted for at least 14 days. At the end of the comment
period, a decision on the proposed impacts and mitigation can be finalized. It
appears that sequencing flexibility would be applicable to this wetland.
b. A wetland buffer 20 feet in width and a 30-foot setback from the wetland buffer
must be maintained around all wetlands on the property. Secondary structures are
allowed to encroach up to 50% of the setback. It appears that the retaining wall has
exceeded the allowed encroachment and needs to be moved out of this IS-foot
setback. Wetland buffer areas shall be preserved, surveyed and staked in
accordance with the City's wetland ordinance. The applicant must install wetland
buffer edge signs, under the direction of City staff, before construction begins and
must pay the City $20 per sign.
c. The retaining wall needs to be moved so that it is at least 15 feet from the edge of
the buffer or 35 feet from the wetland edge.
d. That portion of the wetland buffer adjacent to the proposed earthwork shall be
planted in a suitable native seed mix.
e. As the area at the toe of the retaining wall is unlikely to be mowed, a suitable
BWSR seed mix shall be used below the retaining wall within the area to be graded.
f. Approval of the subdivision in no way should convey to the applicant, the land
owner or any subsequent owners and occupants approval of the wetland impacts
indicated within Wetland 2 as shown on the conceptual grading plan or any other
wetland impacts resulting from the development of this parcel. Any grading, which
as a result of the development of Lot 2 occurs on Lot 1 (Outlot A), must provide
sediment and erosion control best management practices to protect the wetland and
the buffer area.
g. In order for any impacts to occur on the northern parcel, Lot 1 (Outlot A), a detailed
site plan and wetland application would need to be submitted. With this submittal, a
thorough discussion of sequencing considerations for wetland avoidance and/or
impact minimization is required.
h. The applicant needs to show that the wetland was avoided or provide documentation
indicating why wetland avoidance is not possible. If wetland avoidance was shown
to the satisfaction of the Local Government Unit to not be possible, the applicant
would need to show that the impacts were minimized to the greatest extent
practicable.
1. No impacts are indicated for Wetland 3 and a no net loss decision will be rendered
for this area."
2
4. Right to Proceed. No wetland impacts to any wetland on the Lot 1, Audubon Corporate
Center 15t Addition, can occur until the credits have been debited from the Minnesota Wetland
Mitigation Bank and a copy of this approval has been mailed to the regulatory authorities, including
the City of Chanhassen, the account holder and the user of the credits.
5. Termination of Permit. The City may revoke the permit following a public hearing for
violation of the terms of this permit.
6. Lapse. If within one year of the issuance of this permit the authorized construction has
not been substantially completed or the use commenced, this permit shall lapse, unless an extension
is granted in accordance with the Chanhassen Zoning Ordinance.
7. Criminal Penalty. Violation of the terms of this wetland alteration permit is a criminal
misdemeanor.
