o Howard R. Green Company i WS11ME MUM S CONSULTING ENGINEERS Formerly MSA Consuiting Engineers June 5, 1998 File: 260094M -0325 Mr. Jim March, Administrator Centerville City Hall 1880 Main Street Centerville, MN 55038 RE: LAMOTTE PARK PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Dear Mr. March: As we presented at the June 3r Park and Recreation Committee meeting, we have discussed the potential wetland impacts on the Lamotte Park project with Ms. Kate Drewry, of the Rice Creek Watershed District. We reviewed aerial photographs and an affidavit with Ms. Drewry showing that a significant amount of the wetland on the Lamotte Park property was constructed in the late 1960's. This information is attached for your review. Ms. Drewry agreed with this conclusion and will allow impacts to the non - jurisdictional wetlands on the site. This will greatly reduce the amount of mitigation required on the project, and will thus reduce the cost of the project significantly. We discussed wetland credits with Mr. Gerald Rehbein on Thursday. He may be willing to donate credits for the remaining small amount of wetland mitigation the project will require. This would allow the project to be completed with no expense for the wetland mitigation work. As requested at the June 3 rd Park and Recreation Committee meeting, we will be presenting a cost estimate for preparation of plans and specifications of the Lamotte Park project at the June 10` City Council meeting. In the next few days, we will be discussing the project and cost estimate with Mr. Bruce Chamberlain, our landscape architect on the project, to quantify separate costs of the project for different design features, such as the ball fields, playground equipment, tennis courts, and basketball courts.
