Page 3 <br />• • <br />The proposed vinyl siding shall be replaced with a concrete board lap siding. <br />o We have looked into upgrading from vinyl to concrete lap and found <br />the cost to be significant. Our other Applewood Pointe in Roseville <br />has vinyl siding, which is designed to be a maintenance free product <br />that will last many years. We would like to discuss upgraded or <br />heavier duty vinyl as a compromise. <br />The plan shall include the proposed path from Brenner Ave to the path along <br />the north side of the access road. <br />o The plan does include this section of path and the view window on the <br />site plan sheet has been expanded to show this. <br />■ The City has not completed a building code review of the subinitted plans, <br />which review may require modifications to the building's design. <br />o We understand this condition. <br />Wetland setbacks for some of the proposed trails may need to be increased to <br />meet the 30-foot requirement. <br />o Where possible we have pulled back the path to maintain this required <br />distance. In locations such as where the southern path nears the <br />wetland we are not able to meet the desired distance. Far the specific <br />section where the path shoots between the pond and the wetland, the <br />reasoning for the reduction in distance between the path and wetland <br />are as follows. One, that we are required to supply a 10-foot wide path <br />for city maintenance access to the storm structures. Two, we wind the <br />path around a few trees that are significant and desirable to keep. <br />Three, the grades are best to accommodate a path. In the section where <br />the path is offsite and runs down the east side of the southern wetland, <br />the path is placed to require minimal disturbance to the existing <br />topography and vegetation. In an effort to increase the buffer <br />effectiveness with the reduction in desired distance. We are proposing <br />to introduce native vegetation between the path and wetland in all <br />locations that the distance requirement is not met. <br />If you have any questions or comments regarding the above information, please <br />contact me at 763-746-1612. <br />Sincerely, <br />l '� �` <br />Zachary R.
