CITY OF SHAKOPEE
Memorandum CO'~SfrfT
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Joe Swentek, Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Approval of a Wetland Replacement Plan for the Whitebox Commodities Site
DATE: April 6, 2010
INTRODUCTION:
Whitebox Commodities Holding Corporation has submitted a complete wetland replacement
plan application. Staff along with a Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) has reviewed the
application and determined the requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act (WCA) have been
met by this plan. The replacement plan must be acted upon by the City Council in their roll as
the Local Governing Unit (LGU) for the WCA of 1991. Attached for Council consideration is
Resolution No. 7002, a resolution approving a Wetland Replacement Plan for the Whitebox
Commodities Site.
BACKGROUND:
The wetland replacement plan, as proposed by Whitebox Commodities Holding Corporation,
would fill approximately 360 square feet of wetland. The impacted wetland is proposed to be
replaced by purchasing 720 square feet of wetland credits from an approved wetland bank within
the same watershed.
Staff requested a site visit and review of the plan by the TEP, which consists of a City staff
member, a representative from the Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) and a
representative from the Board of Soil and Water Resources (BWSR). The TEP, established by
the WCA, provides professional, technical review of wetland issues to the LGU. The TEP,
which met on Thursday, November 19,2009, has reviewed the site and the replacement plan and
is recommending approval of the plan. City staff and the TEP consider the application complete.
The wetland replacement plan is being proposed to accommodate site access to a new grain
storage facility, which has received conditional use permit approval. The alignment of the access
was designed so as to minimize the amount of impact to the existing wetland. Please see the
attached wetland application, withdrawal application and site plan for reference.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 7002.
2. Deny Resolution No. 7002.
3. Table for additional information from staff.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Alternative No.1.
ACTION REOUESTED:
Offer Resolution No. 7002, a resolution approving a Wetland Replacement Plan for the
Whitebox Commodities Site and move its adoption.
