The applicants have returned with a plat for lot line rearrangement involving the Duff property. Duff will retain two acres of dry conti^ous land for his homestead lot (Lot B) and the remaining one plus acres included in Gregory's Lot A. con.«v.tio„ Staff has approved road width deduction as shown. The Duff portion ^signating 58' of width is consistent with 55* width accepted by Coutny to imnediate south in recent torrens action by James Rivers. The toegory portion shows a maximum 66' width, consistent with maximum width approved by City in past reviews. It is still not clear as to why the b^th^ P Pl^t^^ill^for^the^^lJiStiirgMvil^SMkinriormiiStSiSid***^by the County, staff would recommend dedicating the remaining portion or the parking lot to Hennepin County. Remember the majority of the parking lot Is already located within the railroad right of way. J L William Gregory/David Duff September 16, 1982 Page 2 Per my meeting with the Highway Department concerning the road dedication issued for original #677 subdivision application, I was given to understand that the vacation of Bracketts Avenue vrould be no problem as long as the 66* width stemdard was maintained (and, of course, the parking lot deduction included). The legal question of what governmental level retains an interest in Bracketts Avenue is of no issue since both the City of Orono and Hennepin County sign-off on the plat. I have asked the Highway Department to confirm this position (see Exhibit D). The Duff's failing septic system and the encroachment of that existing drainfield into Lot A must be resolved prior to final plat approval, in Consideration of the present date, Gaffron recommends October 30, if a system is to be installed before next spring. I have asked the Gregorys to file a conditional use permit for a second residence or guest house if it is their intention to build this year. This review is covered under item #702. Riparian/dock use should be addressed in this review. The outlets must also be designated on the plat. One residential dock to serve each residential lot. The question of dock *use for the guest house will be addressed under review of #702. Staff Recommenations: To approve the subdivision of a lot line rearrangement of the David Duff property located at 1420 Shoreline Drive based on the following conditionst 1. A new septic system to be installed on Lot B, the Duff homestead by October 30, 1982 2.Plowage-conservation easement required over all designated wetlands dated August 2, 1982 to also include the following additional dedication of right of way: ; a) remainder of gravel parking lot maintained by County M b) continue dedication of Shpreline/County Road 15 right of way at northeast corner of property 4.Plat must show riparian outlots created on Bro%ms Bay side. Riparian/ dock use limited to one residential dock per residential lot. All docks to be constructed in accordance with the City of Orono and Lake Minnetonka Conservation District. 5.All future construction shall meet the standards of the LR-lA zoning district ♦ CITY OF ORONO SUBDIVISION APPLICATION FORM rc^' -Vi i ■dat«k rec*d W23BK aat«k rec’d er CITY OF OiuM\ j /3 APPLICANT Name coTelephone 473-9017 I Mailing Address ^40 Peavey Road, Wayr.ata, Minnesota 55391 IKI j INGTRUivlLNT*Wayzata, Minnesota 55391 -* Address * (Attach list of more than one) tavid J.

Planning Commission should review the following pages of the CMP Environmental Section Map 4, CMP 3-4, 3-5, 3-16, 3-17, 3-18, 3-19 (Policies 3,4,5,6 & 7) 3-23 (Policies 1 & 3) List of Exhibits Exhibit A - Engineer's letter Exhibit B - Planning Commission minutes July 19, 1982 Exhibit C - Property Owners List In rovioi/ of tho englnoor's report, tho proposed alterations c:? the wetlands will not alter the drainage characteristics of the Watershed - storage capacity will not be increased nor will it be decreased. Clearly if the wetland is converted to a wildlife pond that must contain standing water of a minimum 3* depth, there will be drastic changes in the aquatic vegetation and the assimilative rate. The CMP finds limiting urbanization of the rural areas of the watershed to be the key factor in controlling quality of water. Aquatic vegetation in wetlands or marshes has been found to function only during summer months because of the freezing winter tesqieratures, much of the filtration value of the natural marsh process is lost during the annual spring snow melt. It further notes that marshes that have dryer areas, which have water in them only interimittently, absorb a greater amount of phosphorous and have an assimilative rate of 20 Ibs/acro/year as opposed to marshes with permanent standing water with an assimilative capacity of 4 Ib/acre/year.

He added that the DNR would probably approve e wildlife pond finding them beneficial. Schultz also noted that Steve Scbimmer of the U.S. Soils Office reviews all of Region 6's wildlife pond applications - if you remember this is the same individual that I have used in the review of recent after the fact wildlife pond applications. a Option of Actions A. To deny the conditional use permit + variance application of Theron Hlneline based on specific findings noted in environmental section of the CMP and the intent and objectives of Ordinance 125 (Wetlands t Flood Plain Ordinance) To approve the conditional use permit * variance application of Theron Hlneline based on the following findings: 1) No negative affect on the existing watershed. 2V..,CNP notes marshes with standing water provide a *'habltat which is uniquely suited for certain bids A and mammals", subject to the following conditions: 1) Principal + accessory structures must meet all required setbacks plus 26* setback from wetlands. 2) Septic both principal alternate must be located 75* from wetland/pond area. If , Whether the conditional use permit is approved or not the City will require that the low grade elevation of the proposed home on Lot 12 should be above the low point on Orono Orchard Road or a detailed hydrolic analysis of the watershed should be conq>leted to determine the water elevation in the pond at the time of a 100 year storm event.

Opheim asked which one governs. Mabusth stated that the wetlands ordinance applies to designated and undesignated wetlands - all wetlands within the City. rv:- Goetten wanted to know the dimensions of the proposed excavation. Hineline stated about 6*000 yards of dirt from the pond would be removed. He noted that the plan and proposed is based on ONR standards. Rovegno stated that this was 4 acres of %retlands on City maps but that it wasn't designated on the plat. Applicant stated that he has owned the property for 12 years and that sometimes its wet and sometimes its not. Rovegno asked if the drain tile doesn't work and why hasn't it been repaired? Mabusth stated that this was not the City's responsibility for the old agricultural drainage tiles are located within private properties. Ophiem stated that the pond would probably fill in if man %fould leave it alone. Zn other «iords if man left it alone it would probably become dry land unless they do something to keep it wet. Applicant stated that he would be upgrading the property. ONR stated they had no problems with it. He noted that the City Council didn't determine that it was wetlands in l'>78 whsn they approved the plat. The wetlands were never designated on the plat but Council still approved it. Rovegno questioned the buildability of the two lots involving the wetlands. If they are tru wetlands than those lots are not buildable because they no longer fit the lot requireswnts of 2 acres dry buidlable land. THERON HINELINE 1565 Orono Oaka.

NoOonald stated that 6,000 yards of dirt being excavated out of there you would be ruining the natural filtration process into Lake Minnetonka. Kelley stated that it is a wetlands and that it should be enforced under the wetlands ordinances of the City. Bineline asked why they were against the wildlife Pond* Re noted that ONR and MCWD approved of this why wouldn t the City Council approve of this. Kovegno noted the only tietlands application which was approved was the Orono Schools, which was used for educational purposes. A poll was taken by the Planning CoimisaLon as whether they thought the application could be recossaended for approval. Kelley felt it was a wetlands area and should be enforced through the wetlands ordinances. Goetten stated that this was definitely a %retlands area and that excavation and alteration of wetlands is not allowed. She noted that 6,000 yards was a lot of dirt to be removed. Opheim felt the wetlands should not be disturbed. Rovegno questioned if it is a designated wetlands “ he doesn't believe that these two lots are even buildable. i • / »»« 4 * Bineline noted once again that the Council approved of the plat in 1978 and these are officially buildable lots.V- ■ No Action Required . • c , ■ 4 ■■ HC 1233 w PKOPgWTY oumew list— ORONIO k ^ OCPT OF FROPeRTY TAXAT A-009 aOVKIINIiCNT CCNTCR MINNCA^OLItk m 99487 klfT tltf m SL I CCRTIPt TM»T Tl*f PAOtt MMitfllTtO OH tillt eCRTiriCATC AAC AN AOCUNATC AND TNUC MMt> •CNTATIOM OP INPONNATION AO It APOIARO TNlO OATt ON TNt RCCOROO Of TNt NfHNtflN COUNTY flNANCI OlVIOION.

The la)ceshore improvements consisted of retaining walls, cement pad access stars and a detached, spaced, wooden, two-tier deck area. The deck required a building permit. The retaining walls and associated land alteration required conditional use patmits. If staff had had the opportunity to advise the applicant, certainly, a more environmentally acceptable construction of the access stairs would have been reconmnded. I have reviewed the site with Glenn Cook; and as before with other after the fact applications, %«e would strongly recommend that the retaining walls with stabilised plantings be allowed to stay based on negative environmental affects if required to be removed. There is no question that the walls have seemed to stabilise the steep lakeshore banks. i:&'V • /’< .-a n I--' I -',. rg^4r. ■ ■ ' « TtioMas vicker«an 8«pt«irt>er IS, 1982 F«9« 2 ; r*^"•m . > ■ :-:^v .'v;':<:-;“r^:-V ■ :■ v^--'.f: vV. ■ V :xvv;; 'r- . ■ -1^ A portion of the deck. anpe;*rs to encroach the 0*75* setback area.

He was advised by Council that they could not approve the application as proposed finding the lot severely substandard in area, drainage concerns and requiring numerous variances if built on. Council passed a resolution (Exhibit I) abating all special sewer and water assessments and, at that same meeting, advised Petersen to work with staff to see if Tract V (Exhibit L), a pending tax forfeit lot, could be purchased by Petersen and combined with the subject property. Oi. October 11, 1977, Council adopted Resolution #843 (Exhibit J) releasing Tract V for public sale with the express direction that it be combined with the Petersen lots. The DNR removed Tract V from the public auction per S.S. 282.018 (Exhibit H), as it met 50'-f lakeshore length and width of two rods. Clint's letter (Exhibit E) and the many attached exhibits confirm the applicant's many attenqpts to acquire the tax forfeit lot. Review of current application The applicant has returned with a new proposal. In comparing the original site plan for #219 with the current plan, note the house has been moved closer to shared lot line of Tract V. Applicant feels this repositioning of the house to be more acceptable now since the DNR cannot release Tract V for public sale. i in'""” ■ i V ,\ ..• Hone Builders of Wayzata Septenber 17, 1982 Page 3 J7 * ^ ■i :T „ ^ ■ i ^ V'S •*. •> V If approved, the City will as.< for a quit claim deed for that portion of the travelled road that encroaches Lot 184.

Attest:W^nT^^lerk-Administrator It V \- ' ORONO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 28, 1977 EXHIBIT Page 18 Mayor Van Nest stated to the City Council that he and other CounciImembers received a letter from Mr. Douglas KUnt representing Mr. Gary Petersen, 3545 Ivy Place, which states: I represent Mr. P. Gary Petersen, who has submitted an application for a variance on the above described property in the City of Orono. The property is located on Ivy Place in Casco Point. Enclosed please find a copy of a plat depicting the location of the property. Mr. Petersen acquired the property in 1976 from the estate of Arthur P. Bendel with the intention of building his home on the property. Mr. Bendel has owned the property since 1958. The property was platted in 1885 as Lot 184 of Taylor's Sub­ division of Spring Park Lots and was in compliance with all zoning and platting laws at the time it was platted. The Village of Orono subsequently accepted and approved the plat. Of the 13 lots in this subdivision, Mr. Petersen's property is the largest. The other 12 lots range in size from 10,400 square feet to 12,500 square feet. Mr. Petersen's property measures 14,271 square feet on the plat. All other lots in the subdivision have houses erected on them. Only Mr. Petersen's property is undeveloped. The prop«>rty has been assessed for sewer and water and the following special assessments remain unpaid: $225.00 sewer plant charge; $375.00 SAC charge sewer and water; and $250.00 park dedication fee. -All special assessments will be paid if Mr. Petersen- is granted authority to build on the property. The only zoning requirement from which a variance is sought is the area and width requirement. Mr. Petersen's proposed dwelling will comply with all other requirements of the zoning code; e.g. setback and use requirements. Enclosed please find a survey of the property which includes a sketch of the dwelling and the position of the lake and alley. You will notice that the travelled portion of the alley encroaches on Mr. Petersen's property. This alley was inspcectd by Alan Olson. If the City feels that they need an easement for the alley, Mr. Petersen will grant them one. In determining whether to grant or deny the variance request, the Council should be concerned with the hardship on the property owner if the variance is denied, the uniqueness of the property, and the interests of the City. ^YOR'S REPORT >^etter - Douglas Klint Re: Gary Petersen 3545 Ivy Place (Continued) [ ^NO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 28, 1977 Page 19 If the City denies Nr. Petersen's variance request, he will be stuck with a piece of property ^ich is absolutely useless to him. He cannot build on it or put it to any productive use. The property will be sterile and condemned as a practical matter. LETTER - GARY PETERSEN 3545 Ivy Place (Continued) It has been suggested that Mr. Petersen purchase the adjoining property and combine both properties into one big lot. While this may sound like a good solution, it is extremely impractical and perhaps inqpossible. The adjacent property is tax forfeited and will be auctioned off later this summer. The back taxes alone are over $10,000 and one cannot predict what will be bid for the property over and above the back taxes. Moreover, there are redemption rights to be considered, as well as the first refusal rights of the City and the problems of obtaining clear title. Mr. Petersen cannot afford an additional $10,000 plus for this land or the additional time before he can get clear title. This property is not readily available now and may never be available for purchase. As stated earlier, the property had been platted over 80 years before the zoning restrictions were adopted. The property is the largest lot in the subdivision and is the only lot which is not developed. Prior to 1967, Mr. Petersen's predecessor in title could have built a house on the property and there would have been no restrictions in the sale of the dwelling and land to Mr. Petersen. Should Mr. Petersen be penalized for the failure of his predecessor in title to build on the property? The uniqueness of the property is also demonstrated by the fact that the property has been assessed for sewer and water. Implicit in an assessment of this nature is a finding that the lot is build- able. If the lot is unbuildable, the assessment is invalid. Of primary concern in the granting or denial of any variance, aside from the hardship to the owner, is the interest of the City. Factors to consider in analyzing the City's interest are the welfare of the conommity and the City's planning objectives. The %#elfare of the community can only be enhanced by allowing Mr. Petersen his variance. To deny the variance would be to sterilize the property. Since the property would be unbuildable, taxes and special assessments would be unpaid. If the variance is granted, a dwelling would be placed on the property and the taxes and special assessments would be paid.(Continued) -*flO COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 28, 1977 Page 20 I The tax base for the City would be increased to the benefit of the community. Moreover, the house Mr* Petersen plans to build on the property is a quality house which would increase the property value of the surrounding lots. LETTER - GARY PETERSEN 3545 Ivy Place (Ocntinu^) Not only would the variance enhance the welfare of the community, but it would have no adverse effect* Since sewer and water is in, there would be no pollution or environmental concern. It obstructs no one's view of the lake* In fact, the houses across the alley all face the lake and most have their gar^'it^s and fences along the alley* Mr. Petersen has spoken with several of the neighboring propti'rty owners and none have expressed any concern or objections about his proposed house* The only legitimate concern the City has expressed is their planning objective, which, if analyzed, is not significant in this case. One must remember that this whole neighborhood was platted in 1885 and developed years before the City even envisioned a zoning code. The character of the neighborhood was set in 1885 and firmly established in the first half of this century when the homes were built on this property. While this neighborhood may not conform with contemporary planning standards of lot size and width, this is not a raodernly designed neighborhood* The character and design of this neighborhood were struck in the early 1900*s when this property was platted and developed. All the lots, except Mr. Petersen's, are 50*-foot lots. As noted earlier, Mr. Petersen's lot is the- largest of the subdivision. Unfortunately, this size lot was standard when this subdivision was platted and develped. I'm sure everyone wishes' that the lots were bigger and that the subdivision were planned differently, but that is impossible to do at this late date. It is not practical to impose 1977 planning objectives on a lot which is part of a subdivision and neighborhood which was planned and developed according to planning objectives in 1900. Refusing to allow Mr. Petersen to build on the lot or requiring him to somehow purchase additional l2uid, which may not even be available, will not aid the planning objective in that subdivision. Any larger lot would stick out like a sore thumb and not be in conformance with the character of the neighborhood. Planning objectives must be realistic and should take into consideration the average lot size and general character of the neighborhood. Mr. Petersen's lot is larger than the average lot in that sub­ division and is in conformance with the general character, use and plan of the neighborhood and should not be denied a variance.(Continued) *<0N0 COUNCIL MEETING HELD FEBRUARY 28, 1977 Page 21 m If the Council were to grant a variance in this case# it does not necessarily raean that any substa.idard lot would be entitled to a variance. cSS5id«a?iSM*'ShiSh®IIoSld^pJoSp?

Downey plans to construct an entirely new garage, not add an additional stall to the existing garage. Staff has advised applicant that we will require a minimum 3* side setback for the garage. In addition, he was advised that the garage could be located as close as 10* off Casco Point Road right of way if doors were to faoe away from road and a turnaround provided on the site. The existing gravel area could be used as part of that turnaround. Downey contends this would destroy his backyard as he plans to sod gravel area if the second stall and additional driveway are installed. 4 2. A rV'-? 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Charles Dovmey September 16, 1982 Page 2 Please get out to this site. Downey will argue that this is the only location for the garage to insure neighbor's continued privacy and view of the lake. Staff cannot see how moving the geurage 10* closer to the road will interfere with neighbor's privacy or block view of Carmans Bay. If the garage doors were to face onto the street, the gravel area would be needed to provide for a much needed turnaround. Staff recommendation: You must require at least the 3' side setback. If you are convinced the doors can face onto street, require at least a portion of the gravel area to remain as turnaround. To be consistent, staff must recommend that the doors face away from road. . o *■'1 • 'r ■ t-i •-/'I c‘ ■ h •11 argue that this 4-w »Oea to provide ‘lorT.n:Si “ a^east ” ^rt“S road. staff must i^j r ZONING VARIANCE APPLICATION F«fe ~^ITY OF ORONO " *fe‘wnSST- ^3^3-7351 •9MOt. tncoi^Ut^ %[UST OF EXHIBITS 2.

Mo. 2 Wetlands Issue Hydrological Headache Prescription By Jim Bokor In the Twin CitiM Metropolitan Area, poorly corweived land manage­ ment techniques over the last several decades have rMulted in a number of serious drainage conflicts among communities sharing common water­ sheds. Corrective improvements for only 11 of the more serious problems have an aggregate price tag of more than *100 mOlion. It would be impossibie to accurately estimate the untold thousands of dolars spent on legal fees and salaries of personnel involved in ritersHy years of intsrcommunity negotiations often required to solve these problems. In sddhion to these 11 ••catas trophic" repair projects, there are some 100 smaller drainage problems rtcw exit­ ing in many of the metropolitan area communitiw. CoHectiveiy, these pro­ blems are expected to cost more than anothsr 1100 million to repair. While these drainage management problems motivated the State Legis ­ lature and Metropolitan Council to enact and adopt new measures for better drainage control, neither body has yet gone far enough. A 1982 law now requires watershed planning in the Twin cities area, attd the Metropolitan Cound will provide plan­ ning guidance, but statewide Minne­ sota still lacks a cogent, modem, effective policy structure for seMirtg drainage disputes and preventing and settling conflicts in other areas of water resource management. Never­ theless, these measures constitute an important improvement in watershed policy by requiring planning which can lead to more thoughtful manage­ ment of drainage waters hy communi­ ties sharing common vwtershed bounce arias. A watershed is a tract of land whose perimeter is defii^ by an erratically circumferential ridge that is higher in elevation than any other part of the tract. Moat drainage •*rur»s off the surface of the land, flowirtg downward from the ridge throu^ a systsm of natural ••oorKluits,^' vegetated depres si ons, open channeb, marshes and wetlands, ultimately leav­ ing the watershed at the absolute lowest point, usually in a perennial stream. As drainage water flows through a watershed toward the outlet, much is held by vegetation or in upland depressions, and later evaporated, vwhile a small but crucial percentage is absorbed into the earth from where it is often later drawn for human water supply. Much is also passed along to ponds, marshes and wetlands before flowing into streams and major rivers. In a watershed whose original contours and vegetation have not been disturbed, all of the natural lattdscape features from the rim of the watershed to its outlet can be thought of as an intricate ••system.'^ all having evolved over geok>^ time r, a see-sawing balance. The surface of the land must be changed to accomodate a growing popuMon with its desires and needs . The question of how much growth a community should ertcourage or dis ­ courage is largely a furtctlon of ecoTKMnic, geographic and political considarations related to the avaU- abOity of utility networks and proximity to major business districts. Those Conti:iiMd p§g9 2 Local Standards & Water Quality Robert D. Sykes, ASIA Among the greatest obstacles to good surface water marwgemern are requirements which have been a part of moat subifvision codes sinoe World War II. They include exces sive and inappropriate road standards, mHes of unnecessary sidewalks, and over-built storm sewers and storm drainage systems. All of these standards focus on the artificial and out-dated ••fast runoff approach to storm drainage. Although thb concept has been the startdrvd since the 19th century, its benefits are minimum and its costs maximum. It is also responsiWe for the increasing amounts of down­ stream flooding and erosion that plague our nation. By re-directing our subdivision re­ quirements to focus on a ••slow runoff^ concept, everyone benefits. Homes cost less to build. Towrrs save on long term maintertance and replacement costs. The environment benefits because more water is left on-site where it belongs, reducing downstream flooding and erosion. The benefits of natural drainage can be achieved through development standards that encourage slow runoff systems ar>d discourage fast runoff systems. The first step is simply to put a ••speed limit'^ on the rates of runoff which may be generated by new develoments. A good ••speed limif for runoff is that which takes place in nature: the runoff generated Continuad page 3 Hydrologic Headache (Continued) ^ ...______ .K- w-«te«hed bv homelots. dead leaves, grass a^ concerns are really separate from questions of how different uses w the land, which are agreed *o “ desireble, ought to be designed. Drain­ age “improvements" have long bow recognized as one of the first Infr^ structural changes to bo installed in lar>dscspes to be newly developed or intensely farmed. The 100 or so developmont-roWod drainage conflicts in 76 metropolitan area communities, however, suggest that more thoughtful designs w needed. In fact, it is increasingly obvious that despite plenty wisdom about how a new building should look and function, how h should be located relative to other buildings and how it should be ser ­ viced vwth a network of ubiitlw and oven how its foundation should be corwtructed to properly bear w building's weight on the site's soils, one crucial consldaratlon b still often overlooked: the Integisl nature of the chosen site with the/ surroundi.»g terrain, artd the natural "Wrtetlc relationship the site has with Its surroundings. Intvsstingly. kinetic oonnectiom (the natural energy dynamics existing mong, in this case, the integral, if separately definaWo, systems of land and water) can tolerate considera^ physical disturbances before they be ­ gin to rovorborato out of control. An excellent example of natural systems with dynamic parts that are kinetically related is the landscape and Its hydrology, or drainage system. The landscape is, in fact, one wholly integrated system of land and water features. It can be thought of as a kinetic (i.e.. energy interactive) system. Tharo ora significant dliact and indirect monetary advantaf^ to be realized from maintaining Wnetic en ­ ergy balances of the earth's systems as the landscape is changed to meet physical devetopm wt nee^. Present day economic condWor» demartd tto we use our best technical skills, wisdom and thinking to minimize kinetic disruptions In our landscape systems or wie wrill continue to pay the consequences in hard cash that we don't have. Orre of the best ways rroT to minimize such dhruptione isto instafl extensive highly ertgineered systems of stonn sewers, which can efficientiy collect drainage water from a specific she. but upset the hydro- logic balance of the water^ed by increasing the volume and intensity of drainage water sped through pipes to lovirer reaches of the watershed. This short-circuiting of natural pat­ terns of flow causes downstream flooding, erosion and nonpoint source pollution. Stream banks we often the orthen features most seriously peer ­ ed by erosion when they are forced to carry more water from frequwt storms than they vrere naturally de- sigrted to carry. A common cause of nonpoint source pollution is storm sewers which dis­ charge directly into lakes or streams, having collected water from large areas of now development or farmland. CUKuroBy generated, nonpoint source pollution really has two components. The first Is a huge array of organic and mineral substances (call them "residuals") which are intentionally placed on or "fall out" onto the surfaces of the landscape. The re ­ siduals come from manufacturing, commerce, residential and recreations areas, the transportation network and farming. , The second component of nonj^ pollution is simply a mechanism which carries the re^uals directly to a lake, pond or stream. ___ Residuals, therefore, are only ^ tential" nonpoint poHutants until they are scrubbed into a drainage stream and transported to a receiving wrter. While hard-falling rain or rushing meltwster need rro assistance to pick up the residuals, extensive netwo^ of stnrm sewer dreinage pipe proviw urtintemjpted uansportaion for the pollutanu to the surface watw. Drainage tiles beneath farmland have the same effect. Over time, common nonpoint pollutants, such as elements of fertilizer (which come not only from farms, but also from homelots. dead leaves, grass and other vegetation), accumulate inthe bottom serfiments of takes and pondsi When lakes naturally turn over every year, the accumulate fertilizers Imteirabie algae "blooms." New load­ ings coming into the water each ywr add to existing loadktgs, also recycling annually. Eventually, algae blooms. In addition to other aesthetic nuisances, can kill desirsbie forms of fish that require high oxygen cortcentraiions for survival. Waters degraded in this way can cost thousands of dollars per acre to reclaim. Loft to doclirto, a water which diminishes aesthetically also diminishes both the market and tax­ able value of real properties whw original value was associated dlrecfly or indirectly with the water. Since forests, fields, moedoi^. marshes and wetlands serve as highly efficient fihers, they can help mainta|n high quality drainage waters, even in fully developed or farmed areas. Watershed knbetanco ptobtarm, ty- mg corwoquonceo Bko those described above, alirwet always occur over tinw, as many small chartges—each with storm sowers that will load more drainage water at a faster rate to lower features of the vrotaished which did not evolve to, and cannot, cany the increased airrounts-are made In disparate kjcatiorte of the watershed. The effects of the changes on the hydrology of the watershed may not be noticed until a 10 or 20 year sir, m, firrally comes alottg. Major Cj^^Jy retrofitting Is then usually re ­ quired to solve the problem. Extensive stripping, filling and grad­ ing the landscape for new physical prefect is very expensive In economic terms. It costs much more ihw natural "system seniltive development' techniques which integrate r»ew physi­ cal projects into the existing land­ scape uting the natural fearores of the terrain as furtctional design ele ­ ments of the new project. Using the natural terrain to manage drainage is a prime example of this design philosophy. It can save sub- stmtially in initial construction attd ongoing maintenance costs to the community; and results in aestheti ­ cally diverse and ecologically stable, affordable finished development.

Al have been into the fabric of our dtarking with threads of steel,, but really don t make any sense In most suburban communities. In a recent joint study by the Association of Metropolitan Commu­ nities and the Metropolitan Council (The Cost of Public Services for Housing, 1981). street pavement widths required by most Metro-area communities were found to be ex ­ cessive when compared to national aources and standards. Excessive pav ­ ing for roads and sidewalks needeaaly cuts down the area available for runoff to soak into the ground. Groundwater recharge capacity is lost and runoff is increased. The extra paving raises developmem costs and city maintenartce and replaceniont commitments need le ssly- At a time when 1/42nd of every barrel of imported oil goes for asphalt paving, extra paving adds to our nations energy problems. The decision as to whether to use curb and gutter on new streets is pivotal to the choice bet ween fast versus slow nmoff drainage systems. Curb and gutter concentrates and contains water on the road surfaM requiring storm sewers and dr^ inlets to dear runoff water from it. Storm sewers ore clearly fast runoff systems. Most communWes <k> not undersmd that curb and gutter str^ make natural drainage ^ possible to achieve. This o**^®J*° Supported in The Co« o1 Public Services for Housing (Cited earlier) where 98% of the corr«wi^««^ veyed stated that they allowed storm iwater drains where Yet, 74% these sairte cocnmunities always required curb arrd gutter, making natural drainage impractical. Apparently, the curb and gutter detail is thought to serve more than A word about non-dr atnage uses for curb and gutter: nonsense. The standard uses named indude snow plow and traffic guides, pedestrian protection, and road edge stability. The facts do not support those claims All of these functions are, at best, poorly addressed by curbing and can be much better fulfilled by good site planning and other design dements at much lower costs. 11 1 J-i - ■y . .,4 SebSykM The third major area in which wo can make changes to benefit frtw naturd drainage is to encourage the detention of vi«ter on-site through the use of ponds and ponding sys­ tems.

How Not to Manage Water By Larry Whittakar Administrator City of Laka Elmo Lake Elmo is a rural city of 5,300 people in the middle of the Valley Branch Watershed District, in central WasNrtgton County. The watershed runs from the urban fringes of White Bear Lake, Oakdale, North St. Paul, and Mahtomedi on the northeast side of St. Paul, to very rural area of West Lakeland Township atHf Afton, on the St. Croix River. Within the watershed, there are two large landlocked basins which receive most of the run-off from the urban frirrge and large agricultural areas. Or>e of these subwatersheds eiKls in Lake Jane, within the City of Lake BnK>. It is a 180 acre lake surrounded by homes. Lake Jane would have to rise 20 to 30 feet above the basement floor elevatiora of these homes to reach Hs “natural" outlet. The other subwatershed winds its way from Oakdale through Eagle Point Lake into Elmo Lake. Aftw the high wate' levels threaten septic systems aruJ homes on Lake Elmo, it witKis its way through an under­ sized culvert into Tartan Park, the 3M recreation cemer, where it has flooded large parts of a golf course, threaterted tennis courts, and pilled up in end around Horseshoe Lake. It flows out of Horseshoe Leke end the City of Lake Brno into a small pond in West Lakeland. That pond is the last "safe" resting place: and it is six miles from the St. Croix River, the only netural outlet for run-off and floodwaters in the Valley Branch Watershed District. Since 1968, when the Wetershed District was formed, the city has spent over $100,000 trying to control flooding on Lake Jerw. We have instelied temporary dams, weB^, ar>d pumps, and we have twice petitioned tiw Watershed District for a solution. The first petition resulted in a plan that was found to be not cost- effective. The second resulted in a permanent pump being placed on Lake Jene, wAiich pumps the floodweters into e pond in a City Park. It, too, is not a permanent solution to the Cit/s water problems which stem from increasing nsvoff generated by urbart- ization in the upstream portkMts of this subwatershed. The City has built holding ponds, iratalled control structures on ponds, built dams on Eagle Point Lake, arnf also twice petitioned the Watershed DiMrict for a solution to the flooding problems on Lake Brno, Hbrseshoe Lake and the West Lakeland pond. Each time we have petitioned, we have decided to withdraw from the protect after preliminary engineering and cost estimates have been pre­ pared by the Watershed District be­ cause the proposed solutions were, basically, too expensive to finance with the preasnt largely niral tax base. Now, after al thaaa City investments end 13 years of planning by the Watershed District stkI the affected communities, we are rtot much closer to a compr^ensive solution to the problems than we were in 1968. We have not been able to control the run-off from upstream communities nor create an outlet through down- streem communities. We have not reached a greemem with the Water ­ shed District or affected communities on how to solve the preasnt problems nor how much we can afford to build to deal with future development in the watershed. Most of our petitions to the Water ­ shed District have resulted in proposals to solve the "dtimats" problem in the watershed. But most of the work that has been done has been piece­ meal and temporary: and almost all of it has been paid for by the property owners in Lake Brno, even though much of the rurt-off comes from outside Lake Brno and eventually flows away from Lake Elmo. Where have we gorte wrong? What have we learned? You cannot ignore surface water management no matter how rural you are. You must watch your neigh­ boring commuttities as wM as your own. You cannot hope they win limit or control surface water unlese you have a dear idea of the pioblenns it wkl cause your community, the opportunities they have to coii^ it upstream, and your limits for accept­ ing additional run-off. Despite the years we have been fighting this, the City still does not have a plan to control our own surface water. You have to conskfer surflsoe water in an land use control activities-plan- ning, zoning, subdivision, variartces, conditional use permits, and building permits. You have to adopt and enforce shoreland and floodplain man ­ agement ordinances, inventory artd control the development of wetlands aruJ poor soils, and encourage neigh­ boring communities to do the same. When you petition a Watershed District for a solution, you have to define the problem very dearly. We tended to ask for "a solution to the flooding on..." We did rwt defirte our ability to pay. We were often not clear if the "solution" we sought was for existing problems, ultimate d^ velopment, or simple planned growth. Most of the convnunities in this Watershed District and, I suspect, in your watershed did rtot think about the effect of devdopmem or agricultural practices on rurt-off utttil flooding be^n to occur. Ail com­ munities issued permits and variartces to build homes on virtually every attractive oond or lake in the dty lintHs. We did not preserve all of our martagement options. You must pro­ tect yours. You must protect your wetlartds, ponds, lakes, and water ­ ways as th^ are esserttial for surface water martagemertt. You should also rementber that the manic reactive approach to surface water management equates to tinker­ ing with the natural surface water system, which does not gatteraHy solve the over-all management pro­ blem: it relocates it aruf it's very expensive. Plan first and buRd later. Realistic comprehensive plannktg for surface water management must involve your Watershed District (if one exisM) and all affected consnurti- ties particularly for any capital improve­ ment projects within the watershed. Any p^ion to a Watershed District should include: a strict defirtition of the area it will serve, the planrted use of larKf in that area for the time period you expect the project to serve, and life of the project (you cannot build the ultimate system urfoss you have ultimate davalopmant or unlimited resources), the preferred method of ssseeament (as you may want to protect certain clssees of land —agricullural land —or find a spe- ■e* 6 > % Intent of New Water Act By Conni* L*vi 8tat« RaprMMUativ* Surface water rnanegemem has hMtoricaNv been a politically volatile issue. The Minnesota Watershed Act (1954) has been only intermittentiy successful at facHitati^ peaceful re> solutions to water-related disputes betw een local govertMnents in the nnetropolitan areas. The act has also been much criticised for being vague and ambiguous. Further, its place ­ ment of power in the hands of a few appointed watershed district offi­ cials had. in some cases, tended to exacerbate political problems as much » facilitate resolution of hydrologic ones. Until passage of the Metropolitan Area Surface Water Management Act of 1982, (Chapter 509, Minnesota Sessions Laws, 1982, known also as the Levi-Merriam bill) the Watershed Management Act was the only device available to those faced with a need for water planning in a watershed which transcertded local government boundaries. The new act, however, provides some ahemativee vrfiich ought to provide surface water management options w4tich are both less expensive and less controversial than manage ­ ment by a watershed district. Despite some perceived dissatisfac­ tion the Wdtershed Management Act, the rww law ntakes only minor changes for existing metropolitan area vatershed districts. Each will be re ­ structured to accomodate a larger board of managers, and each will assume a mandate to carry out watershed planning in a manner con­ sistent with the intent of the law. Minor watersheds not currently re ­ gulated by a planning body now must also have comprehertsive plans devel ­ oped which provide for the unique characteristics of the indmdual water ­ shed. Ultimate responsibility for de ­ velopment of this plan lies with the several metropolitan counties, but this responsibaity may also be assumed with a maximum of local flexibility, the law authorias counties to delegate planning authority to the County Soil arKf Water Conservation Disthct, to petition for the formation of a watershed district, or to faciiitate the execution of a joint powers agre e mwit between munidpelities located wholly or partly within the watershed. The plan itself involves pt similar to those followed by other governmental entities in planning for land use. These include formulation of management objectives unique to each watershed; assimilation of in­ formation relating to water quality, hydrology, and soils: and development of an implemontatim program to be used in meeting management ob­ jectives. i . \ Connie l#vl Following adoption of a plan by an individual watershed management or- ganizaticn, the plan must be submitted to the Metropolitan Cound, the Minn­ esota Pollution Control Agency (PCA), and the Minnesota DepartnMnt of Natural Resources (DNR) for review and comment on the conformity of the plan with state law and consistancy with metropolitan systems. Rrtally, the plan will be for^rded to local units of government wHMn the watershed. These units will thm be obliged to sdjust existing plans or prepare a specific water manage ­ ment plan which will be in confo^ artce with the plan developed by the governing water management or­ ganization. Funding for the planning process may be derived from a number of sources depending on the type of water management organization select ­ ed to govern the watershed. Water ­ shed districts will retain the capa­ bility to levy ad valorem taxM and special levies within the boundaries of an identified watershed. Joint powers organizations will also derive revenue from those parties residing witNn the watershed, but through a slightly different process. Rather than mtaking a direct assess­ ment. tite joint powers board will require contribution from munidpalities party to die agreement. The muni­ cipalities, which have been given authority to create special taxing districts and exceed levy limits for this purpose, will be required to contribute according to a pro rate formula based on the relative water ­ shed area contained within the muni­ cipality. Funding for surface water manage ­ ment projects undertaken by water ­ shed districts has created a great deal of controversy in the past. Voter dissatisfaction with what has been perceived as "taxation without representation" was a major motivat­ ing force in my search for alternative systems for surface water manage ­ ment in the metropolitan area. I am convinced that joint powers entities are one viable solution to the problem, principally because the funding for a given project would be raised by the municipalities involved rather than through the management organization itself. This localized control on finan­ cial resources should insure a height ­ ened political sensitivity, reducing the chances that major projects will be undertaken unless such a project is consistent with a general community philosophy of surface water manage ­ ment. This same feature ought to increase the likelihood that management prac­ tices will be followed that are ^oth environmentally sound and inexpen ­ sive to maintain. That is to say. it makes precious little sense to spend millions on stormwater construction projects when wetland preservation, floodplain management, and other stomsMter ret e ntion mechanisms can be used at a much lower cost. Further, if a community values these latter types of stormwater con­ trol methods, then they ought to at least have the opportunity to be governed by a planning organization that is sensitive to those values. Surface water management through the use of joint powers entities pro­ vides such an opportunity.

The drainage of wedartds speeds runoff, increases fkwdkig and reduces water quality; limits the land's capadtr iui water recharge; and destroys prime habitat in one of the most rroductive waterfowl areas in the naJon. Opposing the ecological conse­ quences of drainage is the increased demand for good agricultural land. Wsiland cMn^ has created some of Minnesota's richest farmland. World demand for iicraased food production and the high cost of farming has in­ creased farm land needs. In addition, a growing metropolitan population re­ sults in urban expansion and increased land demands for housing, commerciA davalopmem, and recreational areas. There is controversy over the extent and location of the loss of wetlands. There are many estimates regarding the amount of wetlands drained, but they uaualy are baaed on speculation. The lack of knowHedge about the resource only perpetuates the contro ­ versy. Ifie Physical Planning Division of the Department of Energy. Ptarwiing. and Development ex»nined data col ­ lection programs which provide infor­ mation on the size and location of Minnesota's wetlands. A pilot study was conducted to determine how this data could be used to monitor wet- larxfs. The study reviewed information from the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI), the Western Minnesota Wet­ land Inventory, assessor's records, and govemmem acquisition and easement programs. Dovre Towsiahip in KarxCyohi County was chosen for the pilot study be- ccuse it is located in an area where wetland drainage was determined to be critical by both the DNR and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. In addition. National Wetland Inventory information had been digitized (corv verted to numerals) and entered into the Minnesota Land Management Irt- formation System (MLMIS). The MLMIS aOowsd for quick and accurate statistical tabulation of wetland t/pes, acreage arKf shoreline, arKi ih« de­ tailed mapping of wetlands. The study showed that the com ­ parison of existing wetland inventoriea is of limitad usefulnesB. The dispersed pattern, small size, and fluctuating water levels of wetlarufs ntade accu ­ rate comparison of acreage figures impossible. These difficulties were compounded by inconsistent defini­ tions, criteria, and data collection procedures. Future monitoring efforo deperKf on development of stand ­ ardized or compatible deflnitkms arKf the trend toward computerized rather than manual storage of information. The pilot study also examined the extent to which Dovre Township wetlarKfs are protected by goverrt- mem programs. The study concluded government ^ulations/oweiership pro­ grams are highly effective in protect­ ing total wetlands acreage (83%), but have only limited coverage of the total number of wetland basins (33%). represent a majority of the total protected acres, while smaller wat- larKfs are not protected. Further, the DNR Protected Waters Program applies to most, but not all of the t)^ 3, 4. and 5 wetlands in Dovre Township. Wetland typM 1. 2. 6, arKf 7 have littia or rw protection. As a result, tabulating arKf mapping tha DNR Protected Waters arKf the government owned wetland does not provide a complete picture of Dovre Township's wetlands. The pilot stud-/ concludes Dovre Township wetlands are relatively well protected under a currem umbrella of government programs. The Wet­ lands Tax Credk Program is espedaRy important, protecting % of the pri­ vately owned wetlarKfs. The development of a procedure to accurately monitor Minnesota's chang ­ ing wetlands will require a compre­ hensive aiKf detailed inventory. Such an inventory (the National WetlarKfs Inventory) is in the procMS of being completed. The pilot study concludes that the national wetlands inventory should be entered into the Minnesota Land Managarnent Information System. Pu­ blic decision-makers would then be able to see the impacts of exsisting or proposed policies in both statistical and map form.

Slide Tape Show Now Available "Partnerships in Water Managemem: Minnesota's Challenge of the 80's," a Aide-tape show recently completed by the Minnesota Water Ptortning Board, is avalable on a first come first served basis for use by interested groups. The 23-minute presentation high­ lights Minnesota's water arKf related land resources problems and oppoitu- nitias. Erosion, flooring, water quality arKf land use problems are examined and subsequently discuned by con ­ cerned local leaden. The show features the Water Planning Board's recom­ mendations in the "Spedal Study on Local Water Management" as steps toward solving aiKf preventing these problems.

It continues to be such until it reaches a well defined channel in which it is accustomed to flow with other waters so as to become the running water of a stream, when it ceases to be surface water. Minnesota common law for surface water says that an individual land- owner can (iipoee of his own surface water up to the point of unneceasariy or unreesortably injuring Ns neighbor; it is evaluated based on "reasonable- ness." The state courts have been the aibittr, deciding the "reasonableness" of land ups/weier use decisions. Their decisions have been the basis for local land uss decisions. The problem with this law is that "reasoreblaneas" is a subiective deter­ mination subject to ch^ng inter­ pretation with time. What was reason­ able 20 or 30 years ago may not be today. In many instances we are feeling the collective impact of what is preceived as "reasortable" drairtage of hundreds of private residential lots into grossly overburdened watershed districts wNch have not planned or made provisions for these increased surface waters. w The enabing legWsdon giving com- - munities the power to do compre­ hensive surface water planning has been on the books for years, but \^it hasn't been untii recently that ^case law has upheld these powers. ^^^({f^^Sahl vs. MiSe WBe Cre* Water- f shed District, the court upheld the designation and enforcement of a floodplain district and its floodplain encroachment regulations, and it fbuTKl that the exercise of such zoning powers was not, constitutionsily, a » 283 NW 538 (1979) In County of Ramsey vs. Stevens, the Supremo Court indicated that it was "right and proper" to do a flood martagement pkm and agreed with the dseWon of e lower court ordering the City Council to adopt regulations. 283 NW2d 918 (1979) if With this case law precedent established, communitiM can do the rteeded water management planning with little risk of being sued by aggrieved landowners provided that the plans are wed thought out and are adopted pursuant to statutory authority. When a community develops a comprehensive water management plan that will stand the test of the courts, it must: 1) establish facts; 21 determine the problem which is to be solved; 3) plan based on statutory/ legal authority; 4) plan on a watershed basis; 5) cooperate with other com- munitim: 6) educate the people con­ cerned and affected—they are part of the problem and do iK>t realize h; i.e. the person who lives on the top of the hill; 7) take advantage of existing porufs, marshes, flood- plains, etc; 8) protect the process,, document all the way through and keep everyone involved, reach out and bring in especiaily those who will be impacted by the decision; 9) plan on a total s^em vs. benefits to irtdividual landowners; 10) use good technical people; 11) plan and regulate on facts, not on emotions. Community officials have to stay ahead of water problems. With a plan as prescribed above, problerra that could become extremely costly in terms of property damage, project costs and expertsive litigation can be entirely avoicM.
