C *.< : • Dear Diane: As explained to you on the telephone yesterday and also to Mr. Hank Muhich a few days ago, we are very much interested in the hearing involving Regis tered Land Survey 924 and 158, Section 6* Township 117, Range 23 as indicated above. We will be out of to%m on the date of the hearing and ask that you pleaee express our concern to the Commission. Our property is known as Tract D, Registered Land Survey 748, North Arm Bay, Lake Minnetonka. In my discussion with Mr. Muhich, he was kind enough to give a brief outline of the subdivision application and the need for the hearing. As I understand, the new owner of the Boeye Property has requested that there be six lots to be sold for development purposes. The lot contain ing the Boeye Homestead will only be retained with one acre of land which, we understand, is against the new Village Ordinance. I don't feel that an exception should be made in this case since there is adequate land available to comply with the new ordinance. There was another point that 1 feel should be strongly questioned and that is that a variance be allowed or given whereby five or six lots can have one common access to the lakeshore. As you will recall, there was an assurance by the Planning Commission to me in June when the Andersons' and Whites' filed for, and were given, a variance to have a common dock next to our property. It was my understanding that the Commission approved this variance based on the premise that there would be absolutely no dredging, channeling or any other disturbance of that end of North Arm. Further, I would like to add that even the building of a dock or walkway over the marshland in effect defeats the purpose of the intent of non-disturbance of marshland. I think that we so often forget the original reasoning or intent of much of our leg islation, and in this particular case, I believe the two acre minimum require ment for non-disturbance of marshland and 100 feet frontage per lot should be strictly adhered to. 1 hope this letter will receive your consideration and review and will help you in making your decision in this matter. Thank you. Respectfully yours. i; • • ' .. T. R. Williams, Jr. o jhts iiiwriiai fire CDc<r5Utilty C3 nidiiiH’ ci <>p<f c.3 »f •1 A * \ f i f 1 < i r . * ■. •’ .A-r -r'i A-;;-.-.

PRmJMIN/\RY SOIL AND SITE VALUATION OF THE PROPOSED VICTORIA GRAIN COiNflVXNT SUBDIVISION IN 'II n- CHY OF ORONO by James L. Anderson and Patrick N. Kennedy i r\ 'i « L/ o I. INTRODUCTION This is a preliminaiy soil and site evaluation of the proposed Victoria Grain Company Subdivision in the City of Orono. A detailed soils map for tlie area of the proposed subdivision is pro vided with this re{x>rt. This map is based on an on-site investigation and infomation contained in "Soil Survey of Hennepin County" and "Land scapes of Hennepin County". liach of the soils mapped within the area of proposed subdivision is briefly described. The favorable and unfavorable development character istics are discussed. Exjilanations for the soil map s>inbols and colors are presented in Sections II and III. Tliis is a preliminary soils evaluation and additional engineering tests should be conducted before actual construction beg'ns. The potential of each soil mapped for the disposal and treatment of septic tank effluent is discussed. Critical erosion areas are delineated and suggestions are made for methods of controlling erosion and sedimentation during construction. Tlie delineation of wetlajid areas witJiin tJie area of proposed subdivi .ion is discussed. II. HOtV TO USE THE SOIL MAP To use the soil map one needs to know what the symbols mean. The soil symbol consists of three parts arranged as follows: HbB2 = Hb (Soil)(Slope)(Erosion) The first two letters denote the soil type; the last letter is the slope of the land in percent, and the absence or presence of a number indicates the degree of erosion. Slope Legend A B C D E 0 to 2 percent 2 to 6 percent 6 to 12 percent 12 to 18 percent 18 to 55 percent Erosion Legend No Symbol - 0 to 1/3 topsoil lost. 2 - i/3 to 2/3 topsoil lost. 5 - More than 2/3 topsoil lost. III. SOIL TYPES PRESENT The soil tyj'>es found in this area were classified according to the "Soil Survey Report of Hennepin County", and tlie st;indards of the National Co operative Soil Suney. Soil t>q)cs present are: Glencoe silty clay loajn Hamel loam Kilkenny loajii I.ester loam Marsli ».i^:c J I’rol iminai*y Soil and of the Victoria Grain Co. Sulxlivision in Orono n Medium Blue Mediiin Blue Medium Red Medium Red A brief description oi each soil is jirovidcd. Mip symbols and colors are provided to facilitate locating the soil tyj'.es on the detailed soil map provided with this report. 1. Glencoe silty clav loajn: The map symbol for this soil is Gc and the map color is mediim blue. This soil is deep and very poorly drained, 'fhe soil was formed in loamy colluvium over calcareous loamy till. The soil is nearly level occupying depressions and sluggish drainageways. Site development characteristics are generally unfavorable. The watertable is above or near the surface the entire year and the soil has low soil strength. 2. Hamel loam: The map syiabol for this soil is Ha ;md the map color is medium blue. This is a deep, well-drained loam soil that occurs in short, narrow drainageways on foot slopes and in long winding drainageways between knolls and hills. During wet periods of the year there is a perclied watertable within 1 foot of the surface. These soils are often wet for a good portion of the year. They are also subject to ponding and the upper horizons are high in organic matter content giving them low bearing values. There is also a iiigh potential for frost action to roads or parking lots constructed on these soils. 3. Kilkenny loam: This is a deep well-drained soil that formed in calcareous shaly loam or clay loam till. These soils occur on convex slopes of smooth irregular hills at the highest elevations in the county. The native vegetation was mixed hardwoods and a grass understor)^ Several slope phases of this soil are mapped in the area of proposed development. Each slope phase is discussed separately. a). Kilkenny loam - 2 to 6 percent slope: Tlie map symbol for this soil is KkB and the map color is medium red. This is a gently undulating soil that occupies areas on knolls and hillsides. The rolling slopes provide building sites with scenic views. The soil is never saturated but sidehill scops :ind wet spots near the l)ase of the slope can occur and be expected to persist for a few weeks following a wet period. The soil has very slow infiltration rates. b). Kilkenny loam - 6 to 12 nercent slope: Ilie map s>*mbol for this soil is KkC and tlie map color is medium red. This is a rolling soil oceui)ying areas on knolls and hill sides. The rolling slopes offer attractiv’’c building sites. Soil strengtii is adecjuate. The soil never becomes saturated. i • « ? p.h Prol iminan’ Soil aiki S^ . of the Victoria Grain Co.

Kilkenny iocun - 12 to 18 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is KkD and the map color is dark red. This is a hilly soil occupying areas on hillsides and knolls. The soil is well-drained and soil strength is adequate. Sidehill seeps may occur during wet periods. The infiltration rates for this soil are quite slow. 4. Lester loam: This is a deep, well-drained, lo«uny soil that formed in calcareous till. These soils occur on convex areas of irregular hills and knolls. There are usually sfones and boulders near the surface. The original vegetation was mixed hardwoods. Several slope phases of this soil are mapped in the area of proposed development. Each slope phase is discussed separately. a). Lester loam - 2 to 6 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is LrB and the map color is medium green. This is a gently undulating soil that occupies areas on knolls and hilltops. This soil generally never becomes sat urated. Soil strength is adequate. Tlie rolling slopes offer attractive building sites. Hrosion is a hazard when the soil is left exjKDsed during construction. The infiltration rates for this soil are moderate to slow. b). Lester loam - 6 to 12 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is I.rC and the map color is medium green. This is a rolling soil that occupies areas on hillsides and knolls. Tlie soil generally never becomes saturated. Soil strength is adequate for constmetion. Lrosion is a hazard when the soil is left ex|)oscd during constnjction. Soil infil tration rates are moderate to slow. c). Lester loam - 12 to 18 percent slope: The map symbol for this soil is l.rf) and the map color is daik green. This is a hilly soil tliat occupies areas on hillsides and knolls. The soil generally never becomes saturated. Soil strength is adecjuate. Site planning for constniction is more complex if natural terrain features arc to be protected. Lrosion is a hazard if the soil is left exiK>sed during construction. Soil infiltration rates are moderate to slow. 1 » \ \ ‘f i V j. II f t . ■i/ Cl> \ I *1 I \) I} I ‘ ■ •! Ll I'lol iininary S*.nl aiul J .c oi* the Victoria Grain t!o.

The ripper 5 to 10 feet of tlie marsh is peaty muck or muck. This covers other layers fonned in what was formerly a glacial lake. The watertable is near or above the surface the entire year. These soils have very low bearing capacity. 'Hie develo|)mcnt characteristics of these soils are generally uiitavorablc. These areas are best used for natural water storage and as scenic open space areas of developments. IV. SOIL POTENTLM t-QR DISPQS/Vl. /\ND TRllYrNfliNT Of SfiFriC TAN’K EFFLUENT A discussion of each soils potential for the disjiosal and treatment of septic tank effluent follows: 1. Glencoe silty clay loam - Gc: This is a very poorly drained soil occuring in depressions and drain- ageways. The soil may be subject to ponding during wet periods of the year. Installation of any on-site soil absorjjtion systems on soils of this type sliould be prohibited. The presence of the seas onal watertable at or near the surlacc would interfer with the proper functioning of an on-site soil absorption system. 2. Hamel loam - Ha: This is a poorly drained soil occuring in depressions and drainageways. The maxinojm level of the seasonal perched watertable is within 1 foot of the surface. Installation of an on-site soil absorption system on this soil is miaccentab^. The presence of tliis watertable will result in the nmtunct.ion oi the soil absoi*ption system leading to the surfacing of the sewage effluent creating a public health hazard. 3. Kilkenny loam - KkB, KkC, Kkl): These soils are well-drained upland soils. The watertable is generally well below 5 feet. Kilkenny soils have higher silt and clay contents than other soils in this area. The IJSDA textural classification for the subsoil is clav Io:un. This results in ven’’ slow infiltration 0 #rates. Usually tlie norcolatjnn r.*ifT»< nn ;irp slower than the bO minutes ner inch required bv the present Minnesota Sewage (iodc. This would proiiibit the installation of conventional on-si to soAl absoiptioii systems consisting of a septic tank with absori^tion field. Kilkenny soils may in some cases be utilized for waste disix)sal and treatment if an innovative mound system is installed. The following conditions must be met: a). rat£ - The I'ercolation rate in 12 inches or more of nTiTural surlace soil shall be faster than OO minutes per inch ■VI * l‘ri'1 imiiKiiT Soil ;uKi SiJ^t the * Victoria iTain Co. SuKloTsion in Orono m ' ■ •« Medium Green Dark Green b).Dct:th to groi^dwater - The depth to groundwater shall be greater thim 5 to 4 feet if the percolation rate is 60 to 120 minutes per inch and 2 to 3 feet with a percolation rate of 30 to 60 minutes per inch. c). Flood Hazard - There shall be no hazard of flooding within the area considered for installation of the system. d). Slope - Tlie land slope in the area under consideration for in stallation of the system shall not be greater than 6%. e).Position on the landscape - The system shall be installed on level areas, on top of rises on convex slopes, on sides of rises or plane. The system shall not be installed in depressions, swales, or drainageways. Information on construction tccliniques and procedures for the mound system may be obtained from the Hennepin Soil and Water Conservation District Office in Wayzata. 4. Lester loam - LrB, LrC, LrD: a). Percolation rate - Tlie percolation rate must be faster than 60 minutes per inch. b).E)cpth to groundwater or seasonally saturated horizons - For proper functioning of this system the mihimum depth to groundwater or seasonally saturated conditions shall be more than 3 feet. c). Flooding hazard - There must be no hazard of flooding in the area where these systt'ins are installed. d). Slope - The land slope in the area proposed for the soil absorp tion field shall not be greater than IZi. e). Depth to land rock or otiicr impervious materials - the depth to impervious materials .must be moT'e” than 6 tcct. /Vnother innovative system caii be installed on Lester soils, 'fhis system, the Shallow Subsurface Soil Absorption System, improves the chances of proper functioning. The reciuirenients for this system are as follows: a). Percolation rate - TJic percolation rate must be faster than 60 iiiliiutes per inch. I)e])th to groimdwater - Depth to groundwater or seasonally sat urated area must be greater than three feet. This is a well-drained upland soil. Tlie soil is usually never saturated. , In many instances this soil is comjilctely acceptable for the install ation of the conventional on-site soil absoi*ption system. 'Hie require ments for a system of this type arc as follows: I ( ; li Trcl iminan* Soil and Site .• the t^ictoria Grain Co. Subdivision in Orono n h i, t at'**' * V , , c). Flood Hazard - There must be no floodini; hazard. d). Slope - The land slope in the area being considered for in stallation of the system must not be greater than 12"8. e).Position on the landscape - 'ITie system shall be installed on level areas, on top of rises on convex slopes, on sides of rises on plane. The systems shall not be installed in depressions, swales, or drainageways. Details on the construction procedures for these systems may be ob tained from the District Office in IVavzata. 5. Marsh - Mli: This is a collection of organic soils. There is generally water at the surface for the entire year except during exceptionally dry periods. On-site soil absorption systems may not be installed in these wet land areas. V. CRITICAL EROSION .AREAS The area of proposed subdivision lies adjacent to a wetland area on the North Arm of Lake Minnetonka. Provision should be made in any develop ment plan for the control of erosion and the resultant sedimentation. The slope of the land in this area is not e.xcessive but erosion can be a problem on these soils if they are left exposed for long periods. For this reason some guidelines for the establisliment of temix)rary and per manent vegetation are provided for areas which will be exposed during construction. h » i $ tOMBt Prel iminan* Soil and Site c^^he Vittoria Grain Co.

Snccificaticns General The seeding of herbaceous vegetation and plantings of trees, shrubs and vines and related operations shall be performed as designated in Items 1 through 8 and the tables of this specification. 1, Lime shall be applied according to a soil test. 2, Fertilizer where required, shall be a regular commercial fertilizer (including liqxiid form) meeting the requirements of applicable state laws. Fertiliser shall be spread \miformly and worked into the soil immediately after spreading. See fertilizer recommendations for maintenance of critical areas in Table 2, Preparation of Seedbed Prior to seedbed preparation, divert any ccncentraccd flow of off-site v:ater from the area. All grading and siiaping operations will bo completed and the area to be seeded shall be reasonably smooth, free of rills and gullies and shall have tlie designed cross section before seed bed preparation. At this stage of operation, tlie required lime and fertilizer shall be applied uniformly and incorporated into the top 3 inches of the soil with suitable equipment. Seedbed preparation operations shall be suspended when the soil is too wet or div* i'i •s'-: PreliniiiKuy Soil and Si*' of the Victoria Grain Co, SulxL.ision in Orono t I = \ • X h.Seed All seed or plantings applied to the areas to be vegetated shall be of good quality and meet the requirements of the I^innesota State seed law. Legume seed shall be inocu lated in accordance with the directions on the container for the inoculant used. Inoculated seed shall not be exposed to direct sunlight for periods of time exceeding one-half hour. Seed vdiich is not down withii* ei^it hours after inoculation shall be re-inoculated prior to use. Sowing Seed The seeding operatic > shall be performed immediatel after preparation of the seedbed. The seed shall be drilled or broadcast with approved types of eq\iipment that will insure unifo33B distribution of the seed. Legume and small grass seedy such as bluegrasSy shall be planted to a depth not to exceed o®®*"fourth inch. Large g^ass seedy* such as smooth bromegrassy shall not be planted deeper than one-half inch, except on sand where the seeding depth shall be one inch. On all broadcast seedings the soil shall be cultipeusked Jxxst prior to seeding and immediately following spread' ig the seed (or use a culti- packer type seeder)y except where obstructions and steepness prevent use of such equipment. Drilled seodings without press wheels shall be firmed with a cultipacker. Dormant Seedings F3requently it is impossible to make the seeding at the optimum time for seeding. In such oases y it may be desirable to make a dormant seeding. This is done late in the fell just prior to freese-up. It should bo late enough so that germination would not be expected to occur before the freeze. Mulching after seeding is essential. ^rdroseeding On sites that are too steep for reg[ular seeding equipment to operate y the use of a hydroseeder or mulch blower is optional. The prescribed procedure is to apply the seed and fertilizer in a water slurry uniformly over the surface or to broadocuit seed and fertilizer, A second trip is needed to apply the mulch over the seed. The preferred method is to use a mulch blower equipped to apply an asphalt emulsion to a long fiber mulch as it is blown on.

Purpose To afford rapid cover for the control of accelerated runoff ar.d erosion during periods of construction on disturbed areas and until permanent vegetation or other stabilization material can be established. This practice is expected to give protection for a period of 6 to 12 months. Conditions Where Practice Applies On areas of land that are being converted from agricultural or related uses to urban develoiment and when the period of exi>08ure will be at least 60 days but generally less than 12 months. Specifications 1, Apply 500 lbs. per acre of 20-10-10 or equivalent fertilizer, 2, Incoirporate fertilizer into the top U feet of surface soil by disking or other suitable means, 3* Seed one of the following mixtures at the rate shown i)er acre: July 1 to September 15-2 bu, of rye (small grain) April 1 to July 1 - 3 bu, of oats May 20 to July 1 - 30 lbs, grain sorghum 30 lbs, Sudan grass Broadcast or drill seed uniformly and cover to a depth of ^ inch to approximately 2 inches, depending on the seeding mixture. Seed can be covered and seedbed firmed by the use of a corrugated cultipacker or other suitable equipment, 5, Temporary vegetative cover can be satisfactorily established on subsoils of the hif^er producing soils without the use of mulch, A mulch is recommended for use on adverse soil conditions, 6, On areas where permanent seodings are planned, temporary stabilization may be obtained by the use of anchored straw or hay mulch. The mulch material sliDu].d be spread uniformly at a rate of 3|000 to 1»,000 lbs, per acre and anchored with either asphalt, netting, mulch a.nchoring tool or a straigii disc, Permrjiont, seeding mi?:.ures may be overseeded on this I M mulch at a later date.

Also present were Mayor Van Nest and Councilman Walter Massengale. ATTENDANCE - 7:33 P.M. Councilman ^feissengale brou^t the Planning Commission up to date on this matter. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, by petition of the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District, held a public hearing concerning this project. They have a rather sizable plan to acquire large land areas in the Watershed District. They feel that damning some of the large land and releasing it at a controlled rate would help to stabilize the lake level and control the amount of flooding into Minndiaha Creek. Because data had not been provided to municipalities affected, Orono requested that the records of the public hearing remain open until January 20, 1977, to provide more time to state our position regarding this matter. Mr. Massengale requested the Planning Comnission to review the material and prepare for the Council any ccmnents they may find in their investigation. Chairwoman appointed a conmittee of Gloria McDonald and Paul Pesek to review this project and report their findings by January 3, 1977. UPPER WATERSHED STORAGE AND RETENTION PROJECT I ^licant was not present. The Zoning Administrator pre- smted the plan submitted by Jim DeSplinter. The plan con sisted of a dwelling and detached garage. A variance would be required for the right of way setback. Mr. DeSplinter is now considering an attached garage idiere no setback variances would be r^uired. Some regrading of the right of way would be required, but letters of no objection would be required from affected adjoining neighbors. Bill Carlson and John Geihardson of the Public Works Department inspected the site and reviewed Mr. DeSplinter's proposal. They both agreed with the proposal of regrading of the right of way to two feet providing culverts are installed to provide natur^ dra^ge and manhole extensions be added by Mr. DeSplinter if the road grade is raised (subject to no objection from neighbors). Mr. Richard Tiegen, neighbor to the north, was present. He had no objection to the pr^sal, but was concerned about the drainage. The Zoning Administrator informed him that the applicant had agreed to install a 12" culvert to main tain the natural flow of the runoff as directed by John Cieihardson.

Adjoining neighbors objected to any side yard variances. Planning Canmission felt that house could be designed to meet setback requirements as no hardship was demonstrated. Some of the Planning Coranission Members felt that remodel ing of the existing structure migiit solve the problem. The Zoning Administrator informed the Commission and the j^plicant that an addition of more than 50% of the value of the house would constitute a new structure and, there fore, must meet zoning requirements or obtain necessary variances. After a brief discussion, McDonald moved, Pesek seconded, to table this matter until the December 20th meeting to ^able applicant to decide which plan he wanted to submit. Motion - Ayes (6), Nays (0). Chairwoman Dunlap informed everyone present that she had received a phone call fran Mrs. Gasch saying that she would be late for the meeting and requesting that her item be delayed until later in the evening. Two adjoining property owners, Mrs. Ward Parten and Mrs. Harry Larson, were present. Mrs. Gasch also requested that the letters she sent to the Comnission be read to the neighbors present at this meeting. Chairwoman Dunlap read these letters vdiich contained the chain of events v^hich led to the request to ^ild a 12* fence. One such event was the location and positioning of Mrs. Parten*s house. Mrs. Gasdi had the understanding that vdien the permit was issued for the new house it was to be built on the same location as the one that was burned dom. Mrs. Gasch feels that the house is located closer to the lake and is positioned in such a way as to overlook her property v4ien viewing the lake, ^!rs. Parten *s response to this was that she felt her house was in line with the neighbors if you followed the shoreline. She also explained that her house was positioned as such to utilize the sun for heat and light. Several Planning Comnission Members did feel that the Parten licuse was built peculiar to the lot and did, in fact, use the neighbor's lot for view of the lake. Mrs. Parten*s proposal was approved as submitted by Council on July 26, 1976. The ^ggestion was made that some greenery be planted to provide the necessary privacy whicli Mrs. Gasch is requesting. The Comnission felt this would be more appealing than the proposed fence. Mrs. Parten stated that she would be willing to work out some arrangement with Mrs. Gasch. After all the comments were heard, Qiairwoman IXmlap stated that this matter would be continued when tlie applicant arrived. WARREN ORTENBLAD (Continued) #195 MRS.

Once again, Mrs. Gasch expressed ner teelings concerning the events iddch led to the evasion ot her privacy and her request to build a 12' fence. She conc^ed about the location and pc'ition of Mrs. Parten's nwe. The Commission informed Mrs. Ga‘ n of the explanation Offered by Mrs. Parten concerning this.

STAFF - Noveni>er 24, 1976 New applicant, Mr. Jim DeSplinter, has come in with some revised plans, but they weren’t complete (all potential problems were not resolved). If proper material is submitted in time for mailing, we can consider application. STAFF - Noveirt^er 30, 1976 The applicant has submitted one plan of his proposal. The plan is too large for Staff to duplicate oi our machines, so I'll present this single copy at the meeting so we can consider the proposal. I believe we should treat this as a work session item only as all problems have not been resolved as yet. We could suggest a few dianges if necessary and instruct the applicant to detain statements of no objections from tlie surrounding neighbors.

Baker Park Reserve, and, specifically, that portion of Baker Park which lies within the boundaries of the City of Orono. As to acquisition, the District's long-range plans have been, and still are, to acquire all properties lying north of Highway 12 and County Road 6. However, the timetable for these acquisitions is highly flexible. The District's policy is not to take an agressive initiative in purchasing the properties, but rather to wait until a property comes on the market at the owner's convenience. Closely associated with this is the avail ability of District funds for acquisition In these areas. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the time necessary to complete the purchase of all the properties potentially involved. The development plans for Baker Park Reserve presently indicate that the major portion of the park lying within the City of Orono will be maintained as open space and in a natural state with a snowmobile and horse trail adjacent to Highways 12 and County Road 6. The develop ment which is planned will involve either the establishment of hiking trails or the realignment of the existing horse trail to take better advantage of the physiographic features of the area. In addition, with a proposed campground in the vicinity of the southeastern area of Lake Katrina, an access route from County Road 6 will be needed. However, the exact locations of each of these developments cannot be determined as the development plans are in the concept stage at this point in time. It should be noted, as was Indicated in the Superintendent's letter of September 1, 1976, that should there be a change in the District's Development Concept Plan, the District will inform the Zoning Department of same.

PUBLIC HEARING - 7:46 Pil. / / ■ ( . • Mr. Sidwell pleaded hardships of land erosion along the existing drainage which would be rectified by a new builder, the visual appeal of a new chilling instead of an unattended lot, OGapaxison of the propos^ lot widths to existing lots in Saga Hill (he presented a chart showing all Forest Lake lot frontages), and payment of two sewer assessments. Hie Planning Gaainission discussed precedence in approval of a new subdivision where both parcels )rauld be below 801 of the required lot width and Just above 80t of the required lot area* Also hdtdd was Uiat the Oak Street vacation was meant to cUt dbkh oh lot splits and sub standard lot useagb, hot to Mcourage tnis.

The IHiblic Hearing was closed at 8:11 p.m. After continued discussion, Guthrie moved, Pesek seconded, recoBnendation of approval of this subdivision because the lot area meets 801 of the requirement and because the pro- mm 'w' w w m mm mmmm^ ^ w mm ■ ■« v ■ ^ ^ ^ — argued that the only hardship he could area. was economic and not of the land; that the owner could correct the existing erosion problem and could maintain the property without a subdivision.

What is the effect on the marshes if the normal water flow is interrupted? sttle A\ Conclusion The report assumes that these actions are needed and does not "sell'* the concept. It concentrates on the mechanics and the analysis v^hich we are not qualified to judge. I reconniend that a supplemental statement be presented on the justification for the project. The project is compatible with Orono's Statement of Policy (31.800), Sections (f) and (g) referring to providing ponding to orevent rapid runoff, and provide natural land area for storm water runoff. It is in conflict with Section (i) which Vopposes the development of artificial obstructions which restrict the flow of water.

Mr. John Boland, Chairman Metro Council 300 Metro Square St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 Dear John: • This letter is in response to your letter of November 22, 1976, forwarding the preliminary draft of the Metro System Statement for Orono. 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, we have devoted considerable time, money and effort to make Orono*s Comprehensive 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 Lake, a municipality completely encirclc^d by Orono, it's difficult to see how it's systems statement can be dealt with separately. Is this an oversight? 2. Your letter of the 22nd 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." * u I j 7:ii7 >fTice» CITY OF ORONO CITY of ORONO post OfficM* Box tMS*Crystal Bay, MinnesoUi Municipal Offices On the North Sh<)re of Lake Minnetonka ■ -i i ■J 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, 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. The Metro Urban Service Line through Orono vory 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 urban and rural service areas. Has the person drawing the Systems Statement been part of recent planning efforts? (See first paragraph of page 1 of Statement.) The Planning Considerations paragraph (Page 6) indicates the author is using a Trunk Highway #12 planning cut-off at 1990. This implies possible programs for freeway ex 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 other land use plans in a different light. The Orono-Long Lake Interceptor function (See first paragraph, page 19) refers to serving the entire Corpor ate area of Orono. This is not the original purpose of ■^j^0 interceptor which was to remove existing effluent from the Lake Minnetonka area. Adopting such an expan- purpose (and sizing the interceptor for such an area) is directly contrary to Metro Council goals of controlling urban sprawl, is directly contrary to Orono (Page 2) ■ i"/ i ce» i \ CITY OF ORONO n 'I • ii ph'ifi*: 1 < J ^ CITY of ORONO Fust Office Box <W)«(Tysial Hay, MinncKota r>r).'12.'l*Municipal Offices On the North Shore of Lake Minnetonka (6) Plans and guarantees near-term pressures for urban density land use in the rural area of Orono. We understand that the Metro Systems Statement is just a beginning point in planning discussions. Since Orono has, in recent years, gone extensively into the plan ning process with the Metro staff, we are somewhat dissappointed to find that so little of Orono and Metro planning agreements appear in the first draft. We stand ready to go over once more, the basic land use factors with which all of us dealt in 1974, The Council has read and approved this letter and looks forward to working with the Metro Council to solve our problems.

The proposed addition, however, is on the opposit side so the proposed addition has no effect on the required setbacks. I would recoimend waiving the customary work session review ^ j the proposal.

Femdale Variance - Additioi to Non-Conformity Lot Area and Width - Side Setback - Lake Setback and Hardcover Percentage Within 75' and 250' of Lake The Ritz's are requesting approval for a second floor addition above the existing garage. The lot is substandard in both area and width. Lot area requirement in this district is 87,120 sq. ft. The lot width requirement is 200'. Tlie variances on these two requirements would l>e approximately 69,560 sq. ft. for area and 138* for lot width. The location of the existing dwelling is also non-conforming. Side yard setback requirement is 50' and this house is zero feet from lot line. The structure must be no closer than 75* from the shoreline. This house is 48' from shoreline. Variance of 27* required. Permitted hardcover is zero up to 75* from shoreline. Here we have approximately 500 sq. ft. witliin the 75' setback. Permitted hard cover from 75* to 250* from shoreline is 251. I never received actual figures from applicant, but it appears to exceed the 25%. We have a somewhat odd situation here. The Ritz's informed the Planning Conmission that they are leasing the property to the east frcmi Woodhill Country Club. Tax records show the Woo^ill Country Club as owners of the small triangle surrounded by platted right-of-ways. Woodhill also owns the narrow shoreline strip of Lot 8. The records do not show that IVoodhill owns the platted streets, nor do our records show if these streets had ever been vacated. We might consider som additional action to eliminate the potential problem in this area. Tlie Ritz's would like to have this resolved as soon as possible, but we should try tc resolve what appears to be a problem next door. <( i aj ! ] t 3 ♦ » r / V. ^ cmr OF QRCNO, MHWES0TA Conditional Use and Variance Application I/XIATICN OF PROPOSAL M Address /( o ^‘.V..“ C r^i O /\ L- Kz K I > r-\ ♦‘'•r Legal Description "TjC t\ ■ r APPLICAOT Name A-;c .>iK / I K L.. > N, JsJ.

The Council has discussed the idea of reducing the size of seven meiriiers instead of the present nine. We also have been discussing to speed’up tlie Comnission meetings and shorten the t^ our ^^ed wait for a variance, conditional use permit or subdivision. One idea Presented was to establish several committees from t^e emission ^ meet each week with the authority to approve certain cation falls within a set of standards established by the full Commission. The Council would like any comnents in ^^rriting pertaining to organization of the Comnission that would help to make our system more efficic . The Council would also like to have each Commission interest, commitment and qualifications for continued participation. In making this evaluation, each Member should consider tlieir ability to: 1. Serve on an active sub-comnittee. 2. Possibility of attending one shorter meeting each week. 3. Ability to investigate properties before meetings. 4. Read and have a good working knowledge of the Zoning Code and the Comprehensive Plans of the Village. We ask ead) of vou to please send us a short note by January 4th as to your desire and corsmOTts about the future of the rianninn Conmissicn. *#!• oo December 12, 1976 To; VI. B. Van Nest, Mayor From: C. P. Pesek Subject: nr»nn Planning rnmmission Organizational and Procedural ReconirendatiW A. Goals 1. Reduce length of meetings to less than 2 1/2 hours (to benefit both members and the public in attendance. 2. Accelerate action on.all items (reduce time from application to council decision). 3. Eliminate redundant discussion. B. Organization 1. Reduce Commission to Five members. 2. Choose members based upon the following criteria. a. Decision-making ability. ^ _b. Conscientiousness - ability and desire to attend meetings, prepare for meetings, and take on projects for Coitmission. c Objectivity - has no special interest to promote, d*. Familiarity with and interest in planning and zoning. Because the Commission functions as an "expert" advisory Council it should not be organized on the basis of an evenly dis tributed location, sex, and income mix. Orono should seek to obtain the most qualified persons available, noj^ the most representative. Automatically remove a member who misses 6 meetings in any six-month' period.3. 4. 5. Extend the term of chairmen to 24 months. Have the mayor appoint the chairman and vice-chairman. C. Procedures 1.

Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Dear Mayor Van Nest: . I understand that there may be at least one or two vacancies occurring on the Orono Planning Commission. I want to indi cate my interest in the Planning Commission and my willingness to work as one of its members should this prove to be appropri ate. I settled in Orono after arriving from Boston, Massachusetts, via Rye, New York. My wife and I selected Orono because we thought it provided a good environment for raising children, a good balance of suburban homes and open space, and a fine school system. It is our intent to remain in Orono. My interest in Orono government is motivated by my desire to see Orono retain its advantages. I realize there are many pressures on a community, such as Orono, and sometimes the changes made due to this pressure turn out to be disastrous to a community. I am interested in seeing Orono preserve its character in the face of this pressure to change. My luuCiest has been demonstrated by past conversations with Council members and Planning Commission as well as correspondence to the Council and Planning Commission. This is to say my interest is a sincere and continuing one. If I can serve the City in a useful way, I hope you will call on me. Sincerely, JCB/hh Milling Addf*»» P. O Bo« lll3.Minn«apol.».

The Clerk advised me that the Court was waiting for me to make a motion to dismiss the charge. The matter had been set for a reappearance on December 1, 1976. I advised the Court that the city was still waiting for further information from Mr. Solie and therefore had been un able to act upon his request. Accordinglyr I requested the Court to reset the matter for January 1, 1977. Please advise me as soon as a decision has been made on this matter so that I can similarly clear up the proceeding with the Clerk of Hennepin County Municipal Court. Also, I am enclosing for your reference a copy of the Prosecution Summary reflecting the disposition of the Richard Primus charges.

These interceptors have a profound effect on the demand for land development at densities required to pay for the supporting local trunk and lateral sewer systems which result in a level of urbanization that Lake Minnetonka cannot tolerate; and WHEREAS, Orono in making this consideration of the Vo-Tech request of November 8, 1976 must assess all the urban services required and that total impact on its comprehensive planning in the following areas: 1. 2. Sewers: Orono*s Comprehensive Sewer Plan dated October, 1976 IS based on the fact that Orono is partly urban and partly rural. The basis for the decision to maintain parts of Orono within the rural service area is the need to maintain the quality of storm water runoff to Lake Minnetonka. The quality of the storm water runoff degenerates as the land use densities would have to be increased to pay for the sewers. The resultant degeneration of Lake Minnetonka resulting from the urbanization, would exceed a level that the lake could tolerate. Orono*s Comprehensive Sewer Plan supports the design of the Long Lake interceptor to include capacity for existing lands in Orono presently sewered through the Long Lake sewer system. These include the Orono School, the Orono Industrial Park, twenty (20) Units for the Gagne property, and the Hackberry Hill Subdivision. Orono also has requested interceptor capacity for the existing Morningside Subdivision in Medina that can be sewered by joint cooperation through Long Lake to the interceptor, Orono foresees no future capacity to serve any other land located within the rural service areas of Medina or Orono through the Long Lake interceptor for at least 25 years. Transportation: The Orono transportation plan contained in the ComprehensiveGuide plan is based on the contention that the existing streets within the rural service area can facilitate the planned 2% growth rate within Orono and allow traffic cenerated from communities to the west passage through Orono for the next 25 years with only minor modifications. The Ring Route concept would require modification to County Roads #110, north from Mound, County Road #19, north from Spring Park and Navarre, and County Road #6, east from #110 and #19 to State Highway #12, so that the heavy commuter traffic load on County Road #15 along the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka can be re-routed north along Highway #12 and County Road #6. The Orono School complex located at the intersection of Highway #12 and Old Crystal Bay Road has already caused this intersection to be ^l^ssified by Orono as a hazardous intersection requiring a traffic light to be installed. The increased traffic load from * ^ , i \ \ j?. ! « * Rt*:5olut ion #737 #1 School District No. 287 Page 3 the lakeshore areas, the future requirements from the rural service area together with the existing traffic make County Road #6, Old Crystal Bay Road and Highway #12 incapable for the traffic load of the proposed Vo-Tech School until such time as the new Highway #12 is constructed. The State Highway Department has informed us that the planning stage of new Highway #12 is a minimum of 20 years in the future. Orono foresees no capacity in the present road system for the Vo-Tech School for at least 25 years. 3.Police, Fire and Other Urban Municipal Services: The stated policy of maintaining a slow steady growth rate and the 6% mill rate levy limitation imposes restrictions on Orono that prevent the level of municipal services required by the Vo-Tech School by 1980. Orono foresees that the level of municipal services required by the Vo-Tech School and the resulting impact of sewer availability within Orono could not be provided during the next 25 year period; and WHEREAS, Orono contends that the construction of the Vo- Tech School within the rural service area would so completely absorb the present and projected level of municipal services that Orono residents could be denied their share of the services; and WHEREAS, the original justification for the Vo-Tech location was based on needs and conditions during the late 1960*s. Many of these conditions and projections have changed since that time. Orono itself has spent much time and considerable monies in the planning process to insure a balancing of complex needs in this environmental sensitive area contiguous to Lake Minnetonka. Some of the major decisions that have been rrtade in Orono since the time the proposed Vo-Tech School was justified are: 1.The determination of rural and urban service areas within Orono which shows that the areas adjacent to the Vo-Tech location as a rural service area. 2.The development of a Comprehensive Guide Plan which was adopted by the Metropolitan Council November 7, 1974 which shows the areas adjacent to the Vo-Tech School site as as rural service area for at least the next 25 year planning cycle. 3.The adopting of a Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance implementing the Comprehensive Guide Plan that places the adjacent lands to the Vo-Tech School site as two (2) acre minimum lot size rural residential land use for on site sewer systems for at least the next 25 year period. 4.The adopting of a Surface Water Management Plan developed in conjunction with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District Board of Governors. r fi * i r f \ ,I i Resolution #737 School District No. 287 Page 4 4 ast rd u.•i • hi 5. The strengthening of the Wetlands Preservation Ordinance No. 125, 6. The imposition of the 6% mill rate levy limitation by the State of Minnesota. 7. The continuing effort with the Hennepin County Highway Department over our established policy to preserve the roads on the Minnetonka shoreline as scenic parkways and to be consistent with the ecology of the lake, rather than tu nty's desire to pave the shoreline of Minnetonka into a massive transpor tation network. 8. The completion of a new Comprehensive Sewer Plan that establishes the sewer service area of Orono consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan and zoning code. This Plan shows the Orono land adjacent to the Vo-Tech site as.rural service unsewered area with no need for municipal sewer service for at least 25 yea^ period. 9. The reduction of population projections for Orono by the Metropolitan Council from 35,500 to 12,900 and a saturation population projection by Orono from 23,000 to 12,871, Orono feels strongly that the introduction of the proposed Vo-Tech School by 1980 negates the determination of basic land use planning, including policies for the preservation of Lake Minnetonka that have been established by Orono in the past five years; and to be adverse to the health, saftey and welfare of Orono residents; and WHEREAS, the recognized existence of overbuilt facilities in all of the area school systems today coupled with the realization that the reduction of population projections will add to the under use of present educational facilities to even a greater extent in the future, makes Orono wonder if there are not other alternatives to the construction of new facilities for the Vo-Tech West Campus that did not exist at the time the project was justified in the late 1960*s; and WHEREAS, in 1976 Orono granted the Vo-Tech School a one year conditional use permit for the temporaty use of land in Orono, just south of the proposed site of the West Campus in Medina, for agriculture purposes. This one year conditional use permit was granted only after determining that this temporary usage was consistent with the rural service area of Orono and would not require urban services such as sewer, fire and police, and that the additional traffice load to support this limited and temporary agriculture usage would be minimal causing no additonal hardship to Orono residents. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the proposed construc tion of the Vo-Tech School West Campus and the requirement for urban services in the year 1980 is inconsistent with Orono*s Comprehensive Guide Plan, Orono, Comprehensive Sower Plan, and the Metropolitan Council's Development Framework; and Resolution # 737 School District Mo, 287 Page 5 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that Orono cannot afford the expensive costs of municipal services required to support an urban facility the magnitude of the 2,400 student Vo-Tech West Ccunpus, particularily in light of the 6% mill rate levy limitation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that because of the inconsistency of this proposal with the comprehensive planning of Orono and the Hetropolitan Council, Orono will not request capacity for the Vo-Tech School West Campus in the design of the Orono-Long Lake interceptor; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that because of the many developments that required changes in comprehensive planning and future projections since 1970, that the entire Vo-Tech School West Campus as proposed at the Medina site be re-evaluatod and rejustified considering other alternatives than the present proposal. One such proposal should consist of using excess space within the present school systems of west Hennepin County for Vo-Tech classes; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution be transmitted to: The Metropolitan Council City of Medina City of Long Lake Metropolitan Waste Control Commission Metropolitan Transit Commission Hennepin County Board of Commissioners Joint Independent School District No, 287 Hennepin County Park Reserve District State Senator George S, Pillsbury State Representative Robert L, Searles Adopted by the City Council of the City of Orono, Minnesota at a regular meeting held December 13, 1976, t I ' t Attest T '■ ; .. ^ : W, , '■■.;*• ■
