Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br />June 5,1997 <br />Lou Oberhauser <br />Oberhauser & Neveaux <br />1421 East Wayzata Boulevard <br />Wayzata, MN 55391 <br />Re: Wayzata Country Club - Proposed Golf Course Renovation <br />Dear Mr. Oberhauser: <br />Thank you for dropping off the preliminary plans for renovation of the Wayzata Country Club golf <br />course. The plans indicate general reconstruction of a number of bunkers, tees and greens, as well <br />as expansion or relocation of 3 ponds. <br />The above work requires a conditional use permit (CUP) from the City since it involves grading in <br />excess of 100 cubic yards of material in total, and the pond work may require additional approvals <br />as follows: <br />Enlargement of pond on Hole #6 will require a variance from Orono and approval <br />from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), since this is both a City- <br />protected wetland as well as listed on the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) and <br />subject to regulation by the Mirmesota Wetland Conservation Act. <br />b. Relocation of the pond east of the 5th fairway may require MCWD approval as well <br />as the Orono CUP. This pond is not Orono-protected, and is not on Ae NWI map. <br />a. <br />c.Enlargement of the pond NE of Hole #12 dogleg will require MCWD approval as <br />well as the Orono CUP. This is not City protected, but is on the NWI map. <br />We would like to approve the entire package of projects all as one application, even if the actual <br />construction spreads out over a few years. The intent would be that once the comprehensive package <br />of projects is approved, only staff-issued land alteration permits w’ould be required as the individual <br />projects are completed, thus avoiding the need for annual renewal review by Council or Planning <br />Commission, <br />I will close by noting that the City Engineer is in the process of developing a stormwater plan for <br />the City, and has indicated additional ponding areas may be needed in the area of Wayzata Country <br />Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 473-0510
