Johnson <br /> 3105 North Shore Drive <br /> Wayzata, MN 55391 <br /> Location: City of Orono, T117, R23W, Section 9, SW 1/4 <br /> Purpose: Shoreline improvement involving the installation of steel plates and anchors <br /> to stabilize the shoreline and provide erosion control. <br /> Aaqlicable Rules: Rule F - Shoreline Improvement <br /> Rule M- Shoreline Contractor's License <br /> Exhibits Reviewed: <br /> 1. Permit application number 95-129 received May 24, 1995. <br /> 2. Site location plan received May 24, 1995. <br /> 3. Letter of transmittal from applicant received May 24, 1995. <br /> 4. Typical cross section received May 24, 1995. <br /> 5. Revised application submitted to the DNR received August 17, 1995. <br /> 6. Revised cross-section submitted to MCWD received October 12, 1995. <br /> Stat�'Review and Summarv: <br /> The original application involved the installation of steel plates and anchors to provide shoreline <br /> erosion control protection along appro�cimately 1001ineal feet of shoreline on Lake Minnetonka. <br /> This is an unconventional method for shoreline stabilization, and it is the policy of the MCWD <br /> Board of Managers to "Preserve the natural appearance and alignment of shoreline areas." This <br /> application was denied at the regularly scheduled June 22, 1995 meeting of the Board of <br /> Managers. - <br /> The revised application involves the installation of only 50 lineal feet of steel plates and anchors in <br /> lieu of conventional rip rap. The revised application also includes covering the steel plates with <br /> red rock. It appears likely that the small diameter red rock will not be stable as placed on the <br /> proposed steel plates and may require significant maintenance to retain its natural appearance. <br /> The applicant has stated he will remove the plates and replace them with conventional rip rap if <br /> the project proves deleterious or unstable in its purpose. It is recommended that this experimental <br /> shoreline stabilization permit application be discussed at the Board Meeting. The applicant has <br /> submitted loading calculations as a structural analysis of the proposed design. The site is located <br /> within Subwatershed Planning Unit U-10, LM-38. The applicant also wishes to extend the <br /> shoreline erosion control appro�mately 7 feet waterward from the ordinary high water elevation <br /> (OIiW) of Lake Minnetonka. The licensed shoreline contractor doing the work is Landview <br /> Landscaping. <br /> ���t � 1996 <br />
