1If impacts are temporary; enter the duration of the impacts in days next to the “T”.  For example, a project with a temporary access fill that  would be removed after 220 days would be entered “T (220)”.  2Impacts less than 0.01 acre should be reported in square feet.  Impacts 0.01 acre or greater should be reported as acres and rounded to the  nearest 0.01 acre.  Tributary impacts must be reported in linear feet of impact and an area of impact by indicating first the linear feet of impact  along the flowline of the stream followed by the area impact in parentheses).  For example, a project that impacts 50 feet of a stream that is 6  feet wide would be reported as 50 ft (300 square feet).  3This is generally only applicable if you are applying for a de minimis exemption under MN Rules 8420.0420 Subp. 8, otherwise enter “N/A”.

5Refer to Major Watershed and Bank Service Area maps in MN Rules 8420.0522 Subp. 7.  If any of the above identified impacts have already occurred, identify which impacts they are and the circumstances associated  with each:                     1 The term “impact” as used in this joint application form is a generic term used for disclosure purposes to identify  activities that may require approval from one or more regulatory agencies.  For purposes of this form it is not meant to  indicate whether or not those activities may require mitigation/replacement.       Project Name:  Parkwood Estates, Prior Lake  Attachment C  Avoidance and Minimization  and Additional Information  Project Purpose, Need, and Requirements. Clearly state the purpose of your project and need for your project.  Also include a  description of any specific requirements of the project as they relate to project location, project footprint, water management,  and any other applicable requirements. Attach an overhead plan sheet showing all relevant features of the project (buildings,  roads, etc.), aquatic resource features (impact areas noted) and construction details (grading plans, storm water management  plans, etc.), referencing these as necessary:  CNC Development is proposing a new single‐family residential development called Parkwood Estates in the City of  Prior Lake. This proposed development will be located northwest of Mushtown Road in the southern part of the City  (Figure 1). The Parkwood Estates development will include 55 single‐family lots with associated roads, site amenities,  and storm water facilities as well as preserved higher‐quality deciduous woodlands and wetlands.   The site itself covers approximately forty‐six acres of land that consists of a single residence with outbuildings,  deciduous woodlands, areas of mixed native and non‐native grassland, agricultural land currently in hay production,  and ten wetland areas (Figure 2). Access for the site is planned via the extension of Fish Point Road from the north  of the property to the southwest where it will connect to Mushtown Road. The project‘s construction will consist of  site grading for infrastructure including: roads, utilities, three storm water facilities, and building pads. Construction  is expected to begin in 2021 and will continue until fully built. Project plans that include the preliminary plat exhibits  for the proposed Parkwood Estates development are included in Appendix A.  The need for this project is based on the expanding residential housing market in the City of Prior Lake as well as  availability to public infrastructure. Expected housing market growth in this part of Prior Lake will be met with new  residential development including the proposed Parkwood Estates development. The City of Prior Lake has planned  for expanded growth in this part of the City.  Existing Wetland Resources On‐Site  Wetlands within the proposed Parkwood Estates development (formerly known as the Radanke Property) were  delineated and documented in a report submitted by Midwest Natural Resources, Inc. on August 14th (updated  October 21st),, 2020 (Appendix C). The wetlands were reviewed by the LGU (City of Prior Lake and their wetland  consultant WSB) and approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel in the attached Notice of Decision dated October  26th, 2020 (Appendix D). Ten wetlands were delineated within the Parkwood Estates site and are designated as  Wetlands A‐I. The following is a description of Wetlands C and E, the two wetlands proposed to be permanently  impacted for the project.  Wetland C  Wetland C is a Type 1 (PEMA; Seasonally Flooded Basin) wetland located in the southcentral part of the Parkwood  Estates site and is 0.0808 acre (3520 sq. ft.) in area. Half or more of this wetland had been hayed this year with most  years it being farmed through or around. Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland C  includes reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), bald spikerush (Eleocharis erythropoda), and American water  plantain (Alisma subcordatum).   One wetland impact is being proposed directly to Wetland C that includes permanently filling the whole wetland  (0.0808 ac./3,520 sq. ft.). This impact will be the result of grading associated with construction of Street C as well as  site grading in this part of the site.     Wetland E  Wetland E is a Type 1 (PEMA; Seasonally Flooded Basin) wetland located just north of Wetland D and is 0.0117 acre  (511 sq. ft.) in area. All of this wetland had been hayed this year and in previous years has been farmed through with  row crops. Plant species documented at the wetland sample point for Wetland E includes lady’s‐thumb (Persicaria  maculosa), bald spikerush (Eleocharis erythropoda), and fox sedge (Carex vulpinoidea).   One wetland impact is being proposed directly to Wetland E that includes permanently filling the whole wetland  (0.0117 ac./511 sq. ft.). This impact will be the result of grading associated with Fish Point Road, the sidewalk  associated with this road, and site grading in this part of the proposed development.   Avoidance. Both the CWA and the WCA require that impacts to aquatic resources be avoided if practicable alternatives exist.   Clearly describe all on‐site measures considered to avoid impacts to aquatic resources and discuss at least two project alternatives  that avoid all impacts to aquatic resources on the site. These alternatives may include alternative site plans, alternate sites, and/or  not doing the project. Alternatives should be feasible and prudent (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 2 C). Applicants are encouraged  to attach drawings and plans to support their analysis:  In general, a total avoidance alternative would result in the failure to meet the demand for this type of residential  development in this part of the City of Prior Lake by reducing or eliminating the usability and accessibility of the site.  The reduction or elimination of potential residential development of the site is in conflict with the current zoning of  the property. As less land is available within the City to build this type of development, the ability to avoid Wetland  C and E became difficult when faced with extending Fish Point Road through the development to an allowable touch‐ down point that meets road spacing requirements along Mushtown Road.  Wetland C  Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative   Due to the location of Wetland C within the Parkwood Estates site, the proposed location and elevations of Street  C, site grading, and overall site topography, a total wetland avoidance alternative was not possible. Street C is  proposed to be constructed in order to provide reasonable access to the homes in this part of the development from  Fish Point Road as well as to provide a future road connection to the property located south of the site for if and  when future development may take place.  To avoid direct impacts to Wetland C, an alternative site design was considered that shifted Street C to the north  and not developing Lots 4 and 5, Block 4. Although this alternative may avoid direct impacts to Wetland C, indirect  impacts would still take place by reducing much of the wetland’s watershed. Grading would be proposed around  three of the four sides of the wetland and stormwater runoff that typically would flow into this wetland would be  redirected to storm water facilities instead. This alternative results in the lots north of Street C to shift further to the  north which would either reduce the volume of the proposed storm water pond to a level that would not meet the  site’s storm water volume requirements or would end up shifting the pond to the west and into Wetland G, a higher  quality wetland than Wetland C.   Wetland E  Total Wetland Avoidance Build Alternative   Due to the location of Wetland E within the Parkwood Estates site, the proposed alignment of Fish Point Road  through the site to Mushtown Road, site grading, and overall site topography, a total wetland avoidance alternative  was not possible. Fish Point Road is a collector street that will be extended from its current location through the site  to where it will connect to Mushtown Road. In order for safe road curvatures to be maintained for this collector  street as well as the predetermined location of the touch down point along Mushtown Road, all of Wetland E will  need to be permanently impacted. Wetland E is being directly impacted by the construction of Fish Point Road, the  sidewalk along the north side of this proposed road, and site grading in this part of the development. The City is  requiring that Fish Point Road be extended through the site to Mushtown Road to provide safe traffic flow within  this part of Prior Lake and the proposed Parkwood Estates development. The proposed location of the touch down  point for the Fish Point Road connection to Mushtown Road is being planned in its current location in order to be in  compliance with the road spacing requirements along Mushtown Road.  To avoid direct impacts to Wetland E, an alternative site design was considered that terminated Fish Point Road with  two cul‐de‐sacs located on both sides of this wetland as well as not developing Lots 4, 5 & 6, Block 2. Although this  alternative may avoid direct impacts to Wetland E, it would not be allowed by the City since Fish Point Road is  required to be extended through the site as a collector street and not constructed with cul‐de‐sacs. In addition to  this, in order for site drainage for Fish Point Road and the surrounding area of Wetland E to work across the site,  approximately four feet of fill needs to be placed where Wetland E is located. The fill is needed in this part of the  site for site grading to direct stormwater runoff to the storm water pond that is going to be located in the central  part of the site along the southern edge of Fish Point Road.    No Action Alternative   The no action alternative would result in a failure to meet the purpose and need of the proposed project. The  applicant considers this alternative infeasible since the proposed land use in this part of Prior Lake is being planned  for residential growth and would not be reasonable for the investment‐backed expectations of the applicant or  meeting the growing demand for single‐family residential housing in Prior Lake.  Therefore, the no action alternative  is not a viable consideration.  Minimization. Both the CWA and the WCA require that all unavoidable impacts to aquatic resources be minimized to the greatest  extent practicable.  Discuss all features of the proposed project that have been modified to minimize the impacts to water  resources (see MN Rules 8420.0520 Subp. 4):  The Applicant has considered minimizing wetland impacts to the degree possible, given the constraints posed by the  proposed  alignment  and  extension  of  Fish  Point  Road  through  the  development  to  where  it  will  connect  to  Mushtown Road as well as existing and proposed site grades. Efforts to minimize impacts to wetland resources on‐ site focused on avoiding impacts to any of the larger wetland areas as well as not developing all of the eastern part  of the site. In Appendix B, a Site Impact Exhibit shows the far eastern part of the property being developed which  would result in a wetland impact to the wetland area between Wetlands G and H. The current proposed site plan no  longer shows developing this part of the site and as a result, will not be impacting that wetland area.    Another effort to minimize wetland impact across the site was the decision to construct a shared driveway for two  lots (Lots 10 & 11, Block 3) in the far eastern part of the proposed development. In order to plat two lots in this part  of the site, a shared driveway is being proposed to avoid wetland impact to Wetland H. If each of these two lots had  their own driveway, the driveway for Lot 10 would result in impacting part of the southern edge of Wetland H.  Additional Information  BMP’s.    Wetland areas not being impacted on‐site will be protected by erosion control fence during the construction phase  of the development. All disturbed areas will be seeded and mulched. Slopes over 3:1 will be seeded and blanketed.    Other Permits or Approvals Required:  MPCA General Stormwater Permit

PAUL DISTRICT, CORPS OF ENGINEERS 180 FIFTH STREET EAST, SUITE 700 ST. PAUL, MN 55101-1678 SEPTEMBER 3, 2020 Regulatory File No. MVP-2020-01505-DCR CNC Development VII, LLC c/o Bill Ryan 3000 County Rd 42, Suite 200 Burnsville, MN 55337 Dear Mr. Ryan: This letter regards an approved jurisdictional determination for the Radanke Property. The project site is in Section 11 & 12, Township 114 North, Range 22 West, Scott County, Minnesota. The review area for our jurisdictional determination is identified as Wetlands A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J on the enclosed figures labeled MVP-2020-01505-DCR Page 1 of 2 through 2 of 2. The review area, Wetlands A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and J, contains no waters of the United States subject to Corps of Engineers (Corps) jurisdiction. Therefore, you are not required to obtain Department of the Army authorization to discharge dredged or fill material within this area. The rationale for this determination is provided in the enclosed Approved Jurisdictional Determination form. This determination is only valid for the review area described. You are also cautioned that the area of waters described on the enclosed Jurisdictional Determination form is approximate and is not based on a precise delineation of aquatic resources. If you object to this approved jurisdictional determination, you may request an administrative appeal under Corps regulations at 33 CFR 331. Enclosed you will find a Notification of Appeal Process (NAP) fact sheet and Request for Appeal (RFA) form. If you request to appeal this determination, you must submit a completed RFA form to the Mississippi Valley Division Office at the address shown on the form. In order for an RFA to be accepted by the Corps, the Corps must determine that it is complete, that it meets the criteria for appeal under 33 CFR 331.5, and that it has been received by the Division Office within 60 days of the date of the enclosed NAP. It is not necessary to submit an RFA form to the division office if you do not object to the determination in this letter This approved jurisdictional determination may be relied upon for five years from the date of this letter. However, the Corps reserves the right to review and revise the determination in response to changing site conditions, information that was not considered during our initial review, or off-site activities that could indirectly alter the extent of wetlands and other resources on-site. This determination may be renewed at the end of the five year period provided you submit a written request and our staff are able to verify that the limits established during the original determination are still accurate. Regulatory Branch (File No. MVP-2020-01505-DCR) Page 2 of 2 If you have any questions, please contact me in our La Crescent office at (651) 290-5900 or daniel.c.reburn@usace.army.mil.

The District must continue to follow the procedure outlined in 33 CFR part 329.14 to make a Rivers and Harbors Act Section 10 navigability determination. 3 A stand-alone TNW determination is completed independently of a request for an AJD. A stand-alone TNW determination is conducted for a specific segment of river or stream or other type of waterbody, such as a lake, where upstream or downstream limits or lake borders are established. A stand- alone TNW determination should be completed following applicable guidance and should NOT be documented on the AJD Form.

SUPPORTING INFORMATION A. Select/enter all resources that were used to aid in this determination and attach data/maps to this document and/or references/citations in the administrative record, as appropriate. ܈ Information submitted by, or on behalf of, the applicant/consultant: Wetland Delineation Report: Radanke Property dated August 14, 2020 This information is sufficient for purposes of this AJD. Rationale: N/A ܆ Data sheets prepared by the Corps: Title(s) and/or date(s). ܈ Photographs: Aerial: Google Earth accessed September 1, 2020 ܆ Corps site visit(s) conducted on: Date(s). ܆ Previous Jurisdictional Determinations (AJDs or PJDs): ORM Number(s) and date(s). ܆ Antecedent Precipitation Tool: provide detailed discussion in Section III.B. ܆ USDA NRCS Soil Survey: Title(s) and/or date(s). ܈ USFWS NWI maps: NWI accessed via ORM on September 1, 2020 ܈ USGS topographic maps: 1:24K Prior Lake Other data sources used to aid in this determination: Data Source (select) Name and/or date and other relevant information USGS Sources N/A.

Additional comments to support AJD: N/A 4 Some excluded waters, such as (b)(2) and (b)(4), may not be specifically identified on the AJD form unless a requestor specifically asks a Corps district to do so. Corps districts may, in case-by-case instances, choose to identify some or all of these waters within the review area. 5 Because of the broad nature of the (b)(1) exclusion and in an effort to collect data on specific types of waters that would be covered by the (b)(1) exclusion, four sub-categories of (b)(1) exclusions were administratively created for the purposes of the AJD Form. These four sub-categories are not new exclusions, but are simply administrative distinctions and remain (b)(1) exclusions as defined by the NWPR.
