B) The two ditch projects were merely maintenance of existing ditchs. C) The proposed 0.08 acre pond was not in a designated wetland area. D) The proposed projects had no significant impa;-t on the quality or quantity of run-off to Lake Minnetonka. 5. Discussions with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distict subsequently indicated that the Watershed District had no concerns or problems with the work that had been completed in 1985. 6. The Orono Planning Commission reviewed Application #k1325 on September 19, 1988 and recommended approval of the proposed conditional use permit for grading projects, including a new tee box and three small pond areas, based upon the following findings: A) None of the proposed excavation/fill sites are within a designated wetland area. B) The pones are proposed for aesthetic purposes and to create a more interesting and challenginq golf outing, while potentially eliminating on -going maintenance problems in wet areas. C) Construction of the new tee box is partially the result of a request by the neighboring property owner to move the tee further away from his residence where he is occasionally bothered ',y golfer:, near his hcuse. The new tee box location will also potentially reduce the number of golf balls interfering with traffic on County Road 19. D ) The ponds will be 4' in depth with 3:1 side slopes and the bank areas left as grassed area. E) The project will leave a net spoil amount of approximately 1,600 cubic yards. The spoil disposal site is located on higher ground south of the northern most proposed pond and will yield a fill area approximately 50' wide, 275' long and about 2V deep, which will blend in with the existing hill contours of that area. F) The proposed projects will have no significant impact on the quality or quanitity of runoff enterin.; Lake Minnetonka. A minor amount of additional upper watershed storage capacity will be created. Page 2 of 5
