Office (612) 826-6764; (Fax) 826-6767. <br />April 15,1999 <br />City of Orono <br />Paul Weinberger <br />PO Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Dear Mr. Weinberger, <br />This letter addresses concerns regarding application #2477 submitted by George Stickney to the City <br />of Orono Planning Commission for a Class III subdivision for property located at 250 and 340 Old <br />Crystal Bay Road South Please include this letter in the project file documenting the state’s <br />concerns. <br />The proposed subdivision will create 8 building sites on 20.5 acres. The State of Minnesota, <br />Department of Natural Resources, Trails & Waterways Unit manages the Luce Line State Trail on <br />the south side and the Wakefield-Conry Rest Area on the east side of the Stickney property. <br />There are several major concerns regarding this application. One, that the proposed development <br />dc -s not adversely effect the water drainage along the state trail or adjoining state property. In the <br />letter dated April 5,1999, firom Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik & Associates Engineers referring to this <br />project, it is noted that “The SWMP [Storm Water Management Plan) indicates that water quantity <br />may be a problem downstream firom this site and recommends restricting this outlet to 27 inches in <br />diameter. Reducing the size of the wetland ou*let pipe will reduce the rate of storm water <br />downstream but will increase the high water level (HWL) of the wetland to an elevation of <br />approximately 966.” The outlet referred to in this letter is the pipe currently under the state trail. <br />The existing elevation at this site is not given. There is the potential for a higher water level along <br />the trail. Currently there aie no requests made to our office for permission to change this outlet. <br />A second concern is that the standard setbacks be adhered to in planning for this development. This <br />would apply to septic systems, retention ponds, and buildings. This includes outbuilding as well, <br />and should be clearly disclosed to future landowners. <br />DNR Information: 612-296-6157. 1-800-766-6000 • TTY: 612-296-5484. 1-800-657-3929 <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />Values Divefsiiy <br />Printed on Revycled Paper Containing a <br />Minimum of HKr Po%t*ConNumer Waste <br />. <br />1 <br />i
