He also would like to oontitwe with the wild life aspect of the property. In fact, he is requesting approval of a wetlands variance for dredging of a duck pond which he feels will improve conditions for wildlife purposes. His request consists of approval for dredging of an area of about 5/8 acres to a depth of fran 4' to S'. His proposal also requires approval of grading of the excess excavated material slang the edge of the wetlands area adjoining Lake Clasen . This would require approval of e. qd Whtershed District also. PLA1 N ING C(I MISS ION MELTING - Decem e r 20, 1976 Mr. Ledstram was Present. lie reflected his concern for the safety of the horses in this pasture. A horse barn is currently located only 50' from this proposed duck pond. The soil in this area is very soft and mucky, and therefore a hazard to the horses. :'! pond would eliminate the Lazard and also provide a pond for ducks. His proposal includes using the dred!Yed material for fillinn and Pradinp; of a steep grade to the east between the proposed pond and Lake Cl ass en . M i s } i e contends would eliminate the hazardmis steep slope. Ile then Proposes to plant various grasses on the freshly graded slope to provide a feedinc ground for the natural animal hab i tat in the area. The Planning Commission instructed the applicant to review the proposal with the Watershed District to verify the location in relation to the proposed location of the Designated storm water storage area. If he wished to pursue with the proposal, he would be expected to submit a certified topog of the land with existing and proposed elevations shown on the map. 3 t Pqe 2 A condii of r"a canditii wit. i Permit I the pret two adj4 docks we We sigjil PLANNIN Showed one res, house a of infr AttoYne) t3ie P1 ar ting the 1.

The increased traffic alooig old Crystal Bay Road which fronts the Orono Schools will add to the existing traffic hazard along the road and at the intersection of Old Crystal Bav Road and I iighway 12 and thus result adversely on the safety and welfare of Orono residents. 2 . Additional mimic ipa 1 services would be required from Orono if the Vo -Tech is located along Orrono's boundary. 71iis would result in an added financial burden to the res i dents of Orono. a. Police - Traffic control and security. b . Sewer - !Municipal trunk line servicing school c. Streets - Preserve and maintain. 3. Me urban nature of a school would he :n conflict with. our comprehensive plan which designates this area as rural. Also conflicts with our rural residen- tial zoning of this district. 4. Our cannrehens ive sewer plan has been designed to service existing problem areas for the health, safety and welfare of the public - not for the purpose of increasing deve 1 opment . S. The installation of sewer interceptors on tarok lines in this area will lend to a more dense development which will result in a higher degree of hardcover, thereby increasing the rate of flow of storm water runoff. The increased nm- off ratio will acid to the pollution of the lake and ground water storage thus affecting the health, safety and welfare of the general public. 6. Urbanization of this area will have a deleterious effect on the environment and ecology of the Village and once again affect the health, safety and wel- fare of the general public. 7. 11iis sore urbanization will result in pollution and the requirement of muni- cipal sewer systems - a financial burden to the residents of Orono. 8. Increased traffic from the proposed site will only complicate existing traffic hazards along local, County and State corridors. yet we've never been able to obtain a f i nn conrii ment from the County or State departments for future improvements. 9. Increased municipal services that would be required for the proposed develop- ment would deny Orono residents share of these services. 100 The irmortance of maintaining a rural aspect in this area was determined by the Village after extensive review and expeTL%e. Reports from various groups and agencies indicate the need for control of develorxnent to protect and preserve the natural amenities of the district and maintain the duality of lake water and water storage in Orcxlo. is N a To: FRMI • DA , SUBACt: PL,A:.

Ferndale Road Lot Rearrangement Mr. Skarp is requesting approval of a lot rearrangement to regain 4-6' of the Rovick property which was originally his. fie lost this through torrensing procedures by Hr, McCaffrey at the time Council approved the division of RLS 013720 At the time Council approved this subdivision, they did not insist on mylars and ha.rdshells so we had no certified property descriptions - only sketches. However, once Council approved this subdivision as described, Mr. McCaffrey tor rensed the property. �fr. Skarp missed the court hearing notice of publica- tion relating to the torrE-ns ing of the adjoining property. Little did he know that the new property description was moved eastward from 4 to 6 feet. His west lot line now nuts right through his house. Mr. Skarp has been ve fortunate in having such a cooperative new neighbor Mr. Mrs. Odd Rovickhowever,, They have agreed to convey this strip of property back to Mr. Skarp. The Rovick's attorney, John Carroll, has assured nee he would submit a statement from the R+ovick's agreeing to convey the property as described in the letter. I am enclosing a copy of an earlier memo I sent to Council in regards to the WCaffrey property at 1065 W. Ferndale Pbad. I don't think this error would have occurred if the proper documents were submitted at the time the applica- tion for the subdivision of RI,S # 1372 was made.

I am well aware that Orono is in the forefront of communities with effective comprehensive planning. The Metro System Statement process provides a means for all of the 189 municipalities in the region and the Metro Council to get their plans in step with one another, so I �7 j hope you will patiently bear with us in a process that may be repetitive of some of your past involvements with the Council. At the conclusion of this process the Development Framework's urban service area will be adjusted to be con- sistent with local planning. t As to your specific concerns: r 1. I will instruct the staff to send you a copy of the preliminary System State- ment for Minnetonka Beach when it is completed. Your comments on it will be welcome, 2. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act directs that System Statements include not only information about the four metropolitan system plans, sewers, transportation, airports, and parks, but also "population, employment, and housing need projections which have been used by the Council as a ;. basis for its metropolitan system plans." The housing need projections are given quantitatively as household projections in the table on page 1 i of your preliminary System Statement. Our housing need projections also have a qualitative dimension, namely a mix of housing types and prices ' i to accommodate a broad socio-economic spectrum of the population. That qualitative dimension is the reason for the discussion of housing for s low and moderate incomo people. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act requires communities to include a housing element in their comprehensive plans. See Section 9, subdivision 2 for the specific requirement. 197b Mr. Bol Page T� Deceml 3.-6.

The Council has asked me to make this reply informal, in keeping with the request of the metro Council Staff indications at the recent area meeting in Medina. Orono is a supporter of Metro Council goals involving the need for consistency between local plans and Metro systems. As your staff is probably well aware have devoted considerable time, money and effort to make Orono's .-omprutiensive Plan a reasonable one in relation to areawide plans. It is because of this involvement that the following inconsisten- cies give us considerable concern: 1. Orono and .Long Lake are logically put in one System Statement but Minnetonka Beach is left out. Since Minnetonka Beach is like Long bake, a municipality completely .encircled by Orono, it's difficult to see how it's systems statement can be dealt with separately. Is this an oversight? 2 e Your letter of the l 2 nd specifically limits the systems statement to the four Metro Systems cited. Then the statement, itself, expands the area of mandatory planning to housing, On which statement do we place reliance? 3. In this specific area of development, the statement says, "The Council's major aim is for the sum total of local plans to accommodate the region's urban growth in a manner that can be served by existing and planned metropolitan systems without overloading them." • 4. 5. 6.

CITY of ORONO hold l fftcr litm titi • C'rystal Hay, Minnesota 5.5 23 • Municipal Offiew Uri the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka Three paragraphs later, there is a requirement to provide new low and moderate income housing. In a rural community, like Orono, this can only mean expansion of Metro systems, Which policy do we follow? (Incidentally, Orono has a relatively large amount of low to moderate income housing which has been served with sewer, w water or both in the past 13 years.) The basic direction is unclear in this regard and the covering letter of November 22nd is in direct contradiction with the Systems Statement itself. y 4. The Metro Urban Service Line through Orono is very inconsistent with: a. Orono's Comprehensive Plan b. The Metro Council's own Rural Service Area Line (See Agricultural Planning Handbook, July, 1976) . c. Your personal assurances that this rural - urban line is largely a local decision. Orono has placed great reliance in all it's planning on this agreement regarding the line between t een urban and rural service areas. Has the person drawing the Systems Statement been part of recent planning y p g efforts? (See first paragraph of page 1 of Statement.) 5. The Planning Considerations paragraph (Page 6) indicates the author is usinga Trunk Highway g 9 ay �# 12 planning cut-off at 1990. This implies possible programs for freewayex- tension through and beyond Orono after this date . The fact is, the MHD has no plans at all for the next 25 years for such a program. This realization puts light,, other land use plans in a different 6. The Orono -Long Lake Interceptor function (See first paragraph, page 19) refers to serving the entire Corpor- ate area of Orono.

The roadway curve, the earth bank, power p ion his sightHowever, tof and roadway signs all contribute to this distance problem. es he closer to the intersect the motorist gets the clearer the visibility becomes ands at a point within about 100fetothe p f h intersection, the sight distance opens up so that an approaching spotted vehicle from the west can be s d 425 feet away. At prevailing speeds, this left 1 turn to o south, or allows tree motorist ample time to either proceed with a 9 vehicle i s close enough to present a hazard. our field crews stop i f an approaching have been instructed to adjust the signs in order to provide as great a sight � receive this distance as possible.

The re „ion ale for the traffic control change in the first place was, of course, to convert the intersection tersection into a standard "T", traffic operationwise, where only the south approach to the intersection would be stopped and the right turns permitted i el d sin cbntrol . Eastbound CSAH 19 traffic which previously to operate under y 9 was stopped now flows freely through the intersection yielding onl y' i f making a right turn.
