2.A variance to permit alteration to the ponding area along hole #6 which is located in <br />a City protected wetland. <br />Hole #6 <br />a. <br />b. <br />c. <br />d. <br />e. <br />To expand the pond a total of 17,000 cubic yards of fill will be removed. <br />The fill removed for the pond expansion for U6 will be placed between the fairways on holes <br />#2 and #7. <br />The fill will remain on the site. No fill w-ill be transported off the Wayzata Country Club <br />property. <br />Hole #6 is a City protected, NWl mapped pond that has been expanded once before by <br />conditional use permit in the 1980s. The proposed plan shows it being significantly <br />expanded, and should be a benefit to the City as it would enhance water quality as its volume <br />would increase. <br />The final grading plan shall show drain tile and piping as the water shall be treated on site. <br />(Engineer Comments) <br />Hole #12 <br />b. <br />c. <br />d. <br />e. <br />To expand the pond a total of 5,500 cubic yards of fill will be removed. <br />The fill removed for the pond expansion for #12 will be placed between holes #10 and #11. <br />The fill will remain on the site. No fill will be transported off the Wayzata Country Club <br />property. <br />Reconstruction would expand the size of the pond. This pond is not within a City protected <br />wetland. No variance is required. This expansion would require MCWD, DNR, and Corps <br />of Engineer approval prior to the issuance of a land alteration permit. <br />The final grading plan shall show drain tile and piping as the water shall be treated on site. <br />(Engineer Comments) <br />Cit)’ Engineer Comments <br />Tom Kellogg, City Engineer, has reviewed the Vertical Profiles for the ponds and has indicated the <br />plans do not show a 10:1 aquatic bench at the pond normal water level as recommended earlier. The <br />purpose of the aquatic bench is to provide a margin of safety should any child enter into the pond. <br />The City has permitted ponds without aquatic benches within the Spring Hill Golf Course. Mr. <br />Kellogg has recommended approval given the pond is within a golf course and is located at 300 feet <br />from any residential neighborhood. <br />C & F Easement <br />The applicant has submitted a Conservation and Flowage easement over the ponding and wetland <br />area along hole #6 (City protected wetland). The easement will prohibit any vegetation removal <br />outside of the normal maintenance of a golf course. Staff will not record the easement until such <br />time the land alteration is complete to ensure a accurate legal description.
