The pond is approximately 0.4 acres in area and was created when the golf course was built, and was designated by the City as a protected wetland in 1975. The pond sustains no emergent wetland vegetation and is acting simply as a decorative pond area and sediment/nutrient trap. It has filled in over the years and probably has about 2' of muck to be removed. The ditches to be cleaned include approximately 300 yards in length between holes 10, 11, and 12, and about 450 yards in length between holes 15 and 18. The cleaning is intended to consist of scraping the existing banks and bed and resodding to the water line. Groundskeeper, Jim Lindblad, notes that all spoils from the pond will be removed and placed on Wayzata Country Club property in the City of Wayzata. The ditch spoils will be used as fill adjacent to the ditch area and seeded immediately to create low berms. City Engineer, Glenn Cook, has reviewed the sites and recommends approval of the projects subject to spoils being immediately seeded where they are left on the site? a silt fence be provided at the pond outlet to catch silt and debris that may be stirred up during the muck removal process; and that the MCWD be contacted by applicant to determine whether they will require a separate permit. Cook noted the pond and ditches discharge to a series of wetlands approximately 1-1.5 miles in length before reaching Lake Minnetonka, hence no detrimental environmental effect is anticipated. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval per the City Engineer's recommendation. 1 i
