An incomplete letter was sent on 11/14/24, which outlined outstanding items. <br />Based on the updated plans submitted on 01/06/25, the application has been reviewed and found to be <br />incomplete. To help ensure a complete submittal, below is a detailed summary of revisions and <br />information that will be needed in order to comply with MCWD’s Erosion & Sediment Control, <br />Stormwater Management, Wetland Protection, Waterbody Crossings & Structures, and Floodplain <br />Alteration Rules. <br /> <br />Project Understanding <br />Based on MCWD’s understanding of the project scope, Pass Family Trust is proposing to create a 5- <br />parcel subdivision at 215 North Arm Lane in Orono, MN. <br /> <br />Erosion Control Rule <br />MCWD’s Erosion Control Rule is triggered by projects that propose to disturb more than 5,000 square <br />feet or move 50 cubic yards of material. The Project proposes to disturb 7.31 acres and excavate 10,000 <br />cubic yards; therefore, the rule is triggered. <br /> <br />Current submittals meet these requirements. <br /> <br />Floodplain Alteration Rule <br />MCWD's Floodplain Alteration Rule is triggered when there is work below the 100-year flood elevation. <br />The 100-year high water elevation for Lake Minnetonka is 931.5 feet (NGVD 29). The 100-year high <br />water elevation for the tributary is unknown at this time and will need to be determined by the <br />applicant. This rule requires that compensatory storage be created to offset any proposed volume of fill. <br />The Project proposes to disturb land at or below the 100-year high-water level or proposes fill to be <br />154
