No known northern long-eared bat hibernacula or maternity roost trees are located in the project area. c. Discuss how the identified fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features, and ecosystems may be affected by the project. Include a discussion on introduction and spread of invasive species from the project construction and operation. Separately discuss effects to known threatened and endangered species. No impacts to fish, wildlife, plant communities, rare features, or ecosystems are anticipated. Invasive species are plants and animals that are not native to an area and area capable of causing harm. Certain measures can be taken to limit the likelihood of introducing invasive species, such as securing local materials to avoid the long-range movement of goods or washing vehicles prior to accessing the project site. Additionally, landscape design would include native, non-invasive plants. d. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to fish, wildlife, plant communities, and sensitive ecological resources No adverse effects to fish, wildlife, plan communities, or sensitive ecological resources are anticipated as a result of redevelopment of this site. 14. Historic Properties Describe any historic structures, archeological sites, and/or traditional cultural properties on or in close proximity to the site. Include 1) historic designations; 2) known artifact areas; and 3) architectural features. Attach letter received from the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Discuss any anticipated effects to historic properties during project construction and operation. Identify measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize, or mitigate adverse effects to historic properties. The Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) database was reviewed to determine whether any known cultural resources have been previously identified within the project area. The SHPO database response noted that no known resources have been identified in the project area (see Attachment B). It is not anticipated that archaeological sites will be uncovered during the construction of this project. However, if cultural materials are encountered during the construction, Unanticipated Discoveries protocols will be followed. 15. Visual Describe any scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Describe any project related visual effects such as vapor plumes or glare from intense lights. Discuss the potential visual effects from the project. Identify any measures to avoid, minimize, or mitigate visual effects. The proposed development would include two four-story residential buildings, one five-story residential building, and seven one-story commercial buildings. The residential buildings would be taller than the surrounding buildings. There are no scenic views or vistas on or near the project site. Views from County Road C and Herschel Street would be similar to those Twin Lakes Station 16 March 2020
