Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 <br />VILLAGE OE ORONQ <br />Re:Colpepper Land Company <br />40 Orono Orchard Road North <br />Subdivision (Preliminary) <br />Dear Mr. Muhich: <br />I have reviewed the information you sent by letter of <br />September 15, 1977 regarding the subject subdivision. <br />It is not clear from this data what the proposed desig­ <br />nated wetlands area would be. In our evaluation of the <br />previous proposal for this area by Centurion Company and <br />Cheyenne Land Company in 1974 the two major wetland areas <br />Cin Lots 1, 2 and 6, Block 2 and in Lots 4 and 5, Block <br />3) were to be preserved and we found this to be adequate <br />with certain conditions. <br />The current plat appears to delete one of these wetlands <br />and would, therefore, be undesirable in our opinion for <br />lack of flood storage and filtration capacity in spite of <br />the reduction in number of lots proposed relative to the <br />1974 plat. <br />Regarding on-site sewage disposal, our soils map shows this <br />to be generally an unfavorable area. Percolation tests <br />would, of course, have to precede any specific installation <br />but it %)ould be helpful to conduct these as early as possible <br />to determine whether some other alternative to on-site dis­ <br />posal would be advisable. <br />--v <br />w <br />Mr. H.
