Impacts are limited to filling of type 1 wetland basin I (.47 acres). Replacement wetland will be created on site with .48 acres of New Wetland Credit and 1.22 acres of Public Value Credit. The applicant considered the no-build option as well as the total avoidance option in sequencing discussions, however both were dismissed as infeasible. Wetland I is considered a severly de!,rraded basin due to a high level of disturbance and farming activities that have historically occurred around and through the basin. The basin is also predominately fed by surface water which wiH be cut off during the development of the site. CITY OF CHANHASSEN By:--:~ 0 - Title: Natural Resource Technician Date: 5/26/2006 .
