This request is made on behalf of Wayzata Country <br /> Club, who owns and operates the facilities, which includes an 18-hole golf course. <br /> The Wayzata Country Club is located at the intersection of Wayzata Boulevard and Old Long Lake <br /> Road. This parcel is bordered on three sides by low density residential neighborhoods and on the <br /> south by Highway 12. We aze forwarding the applications and supporting documents for city <br /> review and consideration of the following actions: � <br /> 1. Conditional Use Permit for Grading � <br /> 2. Conditional Use Permit for Wetland Alteration <br /> The purpose of this letter is to provide a narrative description of the requested actions. <br /> Within the golf course are a number of drainage ditches that provide drainage of the golf course and <br /> neighboring properties. The major drainage ditch,which is located within the central portion of the <br /> property, drains into Peavey Lake and eventually Lake Minnetonka via ditches, pipes, and culverts. <br /> The applicant is proposing to construct a stormwater pond within the existing drainage ditch by <br /> widening, deepening, and installing a weir structure at the southern end to manage water levels <br /> during the year. The existing drainage patterns at the golf course are being maintained and no <br /> impervious surfaces will be created. <br /> The drainage ditch of the proposed proj ect e�ibits fairly steep sideslopes and a dominance of non- <br /> native, invasive vegetation such as reed canary grass. A MNRAM assessment of the existing <br /> drainage ditch indicates that the ditch has low to medium wetland functions and values. The <br /> proposed stormwater pond is the last opportunity to treat stormwater prior to reaching Lake <br /> 14800 28th Avenue North,Suite 140 • Pfymouth,Minnesota • 55447 <br /> phone 763/476-6010 • fax 763/476-8532 • website mfra.com <br />
