(Council Member Hurr exited the meeting at this time, which was approximately 8.20 p.m.) ZONING ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (-#5) #2114 CLARK WINSLOW, 1595 BOHNS POINT ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMITA'ARUNCE - RESOLUTION #3710 Hurr moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3710. Vote; Ayes 4, Nays 0. (#6) #2115 FRANK BENNETT, 315/405 TONKAWA ROAD - CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT - RESOLUTION #3711 Dale Gustafson was present representing the applicant. Mabusth reported that the propeny is in a low area defined with type 1 and type 3 wetlands. The wetlands have not been designated. The area receives surface runoff from an 8-acre area The proposal is for an open water pond. There will be a need to remove 1900 cubic yards of spoils, some of which will be used for a new driveway to connect to the homestead parcel. The former driveway will be removed, and landscaping will be replaced. The remainder of the spoils will be removed from the site The plan calls for small bridge walkways to be placed over the narrow portions of the pond, but Gustafson said the concept was now in dispute. Goetten said she is personally opposed to such structures and asked Gustafson to discuss with the applicants whether they were necessary Gustafson asked if there was any bearing on the ordinance due to such bridges Goetten said she would prefer a nature type pond. Mabusth said Gustafson was aware of the need to stay 26' away from a wetland. However, the wetland is not protected by the DNR, nor is it on the National Inventory Map Mabusth said it becomes a concern when filling is involved. There is a need for a conditional use permit, however, for the project. Mabusth noted the benefit gained by the City ot storm water retention. MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON APRIL S, 1996 (#6 - #2115 Frank Bennett - Continued) Jabbour inquired if there would be a credit on the overall surface area of the pond for use in mitigating wetlands. Cook said an application would need to be completed prior to the beghnmg of the project. Gustafson said he has no need for the credit, and if it would improve the conditions for the City, he would assist in this manner. Jabbour s^d he was concerned with the potential of using such credits as a marketing tool. Gustafson said he would like to bank the credit for future clients but would be willing to let the City use it. He noted that the Bennetts were unaware of any wetland credit issue. Cook questioned who had the control over this issue Jabbour said the Cit> will need to take a stand on how to deal with such wetland credits in the future. It was noted that this credit was independent of the application itself. Mabusth said it was her opinion that only municipalities would be able to bank the credits and not the private citizens. Callahan said the issue will need to be investigated Jabbour moved, Goetten seconded, to approve Resolution #3711 with the elimination of the bridges. A request was made to obtain the credit for the wetland and asked the applicant to work with the Engineer to obtain the necessary permits. Vote: Ayes 3, Nays 0. Mabusth noted that Gustafson did not present the pond as a wildlife pond, only as open water.

MAYOR'COUNCIL REPORT Callahan questioned the legislative bill affeaing HAC.A and whether it would reduce the City’s per capita amount. Moorse said he would research the issue. Callahan asked Moorse about a bill providing aid to residents with private septic systems Moorse said he would obtain more intormaiion but understood it to enable cities to assist residents financially with system replacement costs Jabbour was informed that the property tax levy treeze failed in the state legislature Callahan inquired about a statf memo relating to SAC and WAC charges Moorse said the current question is what should be done with propenies that are being redeveloped and whether there should be a local charge to reflect additional usage Moorse said Staff is of the opinion that additional charges make sense as the w ater and sew er rates do not cover the future cost of replacement and rehabilitation ot sewer and water tacilities Such charges would produce a revenue flow to assist in covering these costs. Jabbour said the development of the City has changed He noted that many original homes on Lake Minnetonka are being considered tear downs and is concerned with increased sewer flows and capacity problems downstream. He questioned who will incur the cost of increasing sew er capacity Callahan agreed that the issue should be studied and directed Staff to move ahead. Jabbour reported that the Sherifl's Water Patrol will be rebuilding their facilities and would be in the situation of not having direct access to the lake during the process Jabbour said he was concerned and has offered his facilities at Tonka Bay Marina for use by the Water Patrol during the reconstruction. The time period is from September, 1996 to May, 1997 Callahan questioned a newspaper anicle regardi- g an ordinance passed by the City of Long Lake prohibiting snowmobiiing on Long Lake. Moorse indicated Orono has never entbreed snowmobile restrictions on l.ake Minnetonka or Long Lake. Callahan asked what lakes the City has authority over. Moorse said the City has authority over smaller lakes. F ^-4 MBilJTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON APRIL 8,1996 (Mayor/Council Report - Continued) Callahan questioned what has happened with the agreement with the DNR on the Maxwell Bay access. DNR has suggested providing a letter of agreemeitt to address Orono ’s issues rather than a fiill-blown cooperative agreement. Jabbour said he would look into this issue and contact Lany Killeen Goetten said she was disturbed by the memo It was her feeling that the lake use committee had obtained an agreement with the DNR and now sees a change in the plans. Callahan noted a lack of commitment to an agreement ENGINEER REPORT (#11) DESIGNATE FOX STREET AS MSA ROAD - RESOLUTION #3715 Cook asked the Council to approve the designation of a segment of Fox Street as a MS.\ road from Willow Drive to Old Crystal Bay Road Callahan received confirmation by Cook that Femdale has been designated as a MSA road. When questioned why one segment was being requested for MSA designation. Cook informed the Council that the remainder ot the road was already MSA designated. Goetten asked if the MSA tlind could be used to repair the pot holes on Fox Street by Orono Orchard Road. Cook said when the ftmds are used for improvements, the road must meet certain standards Goetten voiced her surprise with the road's MSA designation noting the difficulty with the wetland areas Jabbour moved. Goetten seconded, to adopt Resolution #3715 designating the segment of Fox Street from Old Crystal Bay Road to Willow Drive as part of the City ’s MSA street system Vote; Ayes 2, Jabbour, Callahan; Nays 1.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (#12) VOLUNTEER COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS Jabbour commented that the Council should consider changing the number of Planning Commission meetings to two meetings a month to assist the applicants in expediting their applications Mabusth said the issue was recently discussed at the Planning Commission meeting. She said ttie number of current applications does not warrant two meetings a month. Jabbour said he was not concerned with the length of the meetings but with the time of processing the aoplications c M^nJTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON APRIL 8,1996 (#12 - Volunteer Commission Appointments - Continued) Callahan said the majority of the information is requested from the applicants prior to the Planning Commission. Mabusth said delays occur due to information not being provided, new questions raised, or c^s from residents concerning an application. Callahan noted the need to adhere to the 60-day ruling. He did not teel there w'as a need to change the number of meetings as long as Staff is on top ot the situation. Callahan asked for a Staff report on the pros and cons of two meetings a month He said he was reluctant to approve such a request as a practical matter Moorse responded that all meetings require notifications. Moorse suggested one meeting for referrals back to the Commission only to eliminate the need for two sets ot notices. Mabusth said times are set aside for two meetings in the summer months. Jabbour said he feels January through April are key months for planning. Goetten said the months prior to winter are also busy times Jabbour moved. Callahan seconded, to appoint Stephen Peterson and Charles Schroeder each to an additional three year term on the Planning Commission expiring on 3/31/1999 and appointing Andrew McDermott to an additional three year term on the Park Commission expiring 12/13/1998.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Orono, Minnesota: FINDINGS 1. This applicar ’rr, was reviewed as Zoning File #2098. Page I of 6 The property is located in the LR-IB, Single Family Lakeshore Residential Zoning District, requiring 1 acre in area and 140' of lot width. j.The Orono Planning Commission reviewed this application on January 16, 1996 and further reviewed revisions to the application on April 15, 1946 and recommended approval of the proposed variances based upon the following findings: The property currently contains a small 600 s.t. house and no garage, yet the property already exceeds the 25% 75-250' hardcover limit due to the extremelv small lot area and narrowness of the lot. B.The proposed house and attached two car garage will comprise of 1,492 s.f. of structural footprint on the property, meeting the 1,500 s.f limitation for lot coverage on extremely small lots established in zoning code Section 10.03, Subdivision 14 (C). C.The proposed house is located less than the normal 30' required setback from Highwood Road in order to minimize the amount of hardcover needed for driveway. The proposed 40% hardcover in the 75-250' zone is not dissimilar from the hardcover percentages on other properties in the neighborhood. Further, no hardcover is proposed for the 0-75' zone, and overall hardcover on the property is proposed at 22.9%, within the 25% standard of the DNR. D.The west side setback of 9.5' only occurs at a midpoint comer of the proposed house, while the majority of the structure will meet the 10' west side setback requirement. Further, the proposed construction has been revised such that the setback between the proposed attached garage and the detached garage on the neighboring property exceeds the 10' minimum structure-to-structure setback requirement. F.The proposed 8' east side setback, including a 10'x2' cantilevered segment approximately 6' from the east side lot line, is necessary in order to maintain a functional house width for room layout. The house in total Page 2 of 6 i 4* is only 24' in width as proposed. The adjacent house on the property to the northeast averages 18' from the lot line, hence the separation between the stnictures will be maintained at approximately 26', greater separation than might be obtained if all houses in the neightnirhood were constructed right up to the required 10' side setbacks. G. 4. 5. While the lot at 8.550 s.f. and width of 46-50 ’ is relatively small compared to the 1 acre/140' standaru*? of the LR-IB zone, other developed lots in the neighborhood are of similar size. Further, the property has contained a single family residence for many years and has remained in single separate ownership. H.Applicant has provided a grading and drainage plan which will adequately manage the runoff from the property. Because the neighboring property to the east has recently been reconstructed, the opportunity exists for an appropriate drainageway to be developed along the common lot line. The City Council has considered this application including the findings and recommendations of the Planning Commission, reports by City stafl, comments by the applicants and the effect of the proposed variance on the health, safety and welfare of the community. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that aranting the variance would not adversely affect tralTic conditions, light, air nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate a demonstrable hardship or difficulty; is necessary to preserve a substantial property right of the applicant; and would be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the Zoning Code and Comprehensive Plan of the City. Page 3 of 6 I CONCLUSIONS, ORDER AND CONDITIONS Based upon one or more of the above findings, the Orono City Council hereby grants variances to Muiucipal Zoning Code Section 10.24, Subdivision 5 (B), granting lot area and width variances for construct on of a new residence on the property which is 8,550 s.f. in area where lot area of 43,560 s.f is normally required and where existing lot width is 50' at the shoreline and 46' at the 75' setback line where a 140’ lot width is normally required at such locations; and hereby grants ftirther variances to Section 10.24, Subdivision 5 (B) to allow the residence to be located 25’ from the front or street right-of-way line where a 30’ street or front setback is normallv required, and to allow an east side setback of 6' where a 10’ setback is normally required, and to allow a west side setback of 9.5' where a 10’ setback is normally required; and further grants a variance to Sections 10.22, Subdivision 2 and 10.56, Subdivision 16 (L) to allow hardcover in the 75-250’ zone of 1.956 s.f or 40% where only 1,220 s.f or 25% hardcover is normally allowed, subject to the following conditions: Construction of a single family residence on this property shall adhere to the site plan and construction plans per the surv'ey by Ron Krueger and Associates, Inc. dated November 19, 1995 revised April 1, 1996 (E.xhibit A attached). Any future revisions to the site plan which change the location or size of the house footprint, or which result in additional hardcover, will require additional review by the City. No hardcover shall be allowed in the 0-75' setback zone. In the 75-250' zone, hardcover shall be limited to 1,492 s.f including the house and attached garage, and 462 s.f in walkways and driveway, for a total hardcover allowance of 1,956 s.f or 40% of the 4,882 s.f 75-250’ zone. Any hardcover in addition to that noted will require variance approval by the City, and is not likely to be approved in the future unless concurrent removals of pre-existing hardcover result in no hardcover increase above the 40% allowance. 3. 4. Applicant shall work with neighboring property owner to the east and with the City to establish suitable drainageways so that the applicant ’s construction has no negative impact on the neighborhood or adjacent properties. Authorities granted by this variance run with the property not with the applicant. Page 4 of 6 I 1 but are permissive only and must be exercised by application for a building permit within one year of the date of Council approval, or this variance will expire on that date (April 22, 1997). 5.Violation cf or non-compliance vvith any of the terms and conditions of this resolution shall constitute a violation ot the zoning code, shall automatically terminate any a.'ihority granted herein, and shall be punishable as a misdemeanor. 6.The undersigned applicant has read, understood and hereby agrees to the tenns of this resolution and on behalf of herself, her heirs, successors and assigns, hereby agrees to the recording of this resolution in the chain of title of the property.

Note: Applicants, Kari and Paul Romportl, are no longer involved with this application.

The result is that the lot coverage by structures limit ot 1,500 s.f. is met; the structure to structure" setback of 10’ between applicant's proposed garage and the existing detached garage to the west, is now met; and 75-250’ hardcover proposal is revised downwards to 40%. The proposed side setbacks are mostly conforming on the west side and still at 8 ’ (except for the section of cantilever, at 6’) as originally proposed on the east side. Tlie proposal appears to in keeping with the standards for this small size lot in this constantly redeveloping neighborhood. Also while drainage is a concern in the neighborhood (see the anonymous letter), it appears that drainage from the new construction on this propert>' can be dealt with on site, and the City will work with the propertv owner and Mr. Seran to the east to address their joint drainage needs.

MN 55331 612/474-2525 Fax 612/474-9583 TO: Mike Gaffron, City of Orono FM: Stuart Hoarn (470-2550) RE: 4101 Highwood (revision for variances applicaticn) On behalf of Eva Theobald, here is the revision for “"sjf Planning Commision. Pursuant to direction provided by the commissioners on January 16, we have: 1. Reduced "lot coverage by structures" from 1795 sf to 1492 sf, slightly under (by 8 sf) the 1500 sf target set by the Commission. 2. Increased side setback and separationsproperties by (a) narrowing the house by one foot (from 25 to 24 ) and lb; "mirror-reversing" the footprint. - While these changes don't result in ideal 10' sepacks ” pretty unrealistic on so narrow a lot -- improved separation from sur rounding structures was achieved. - Of particular concern to the Commission (as expressed 1/16/96), sep aration between the proposed garage and the garage on the ° the west was increased by an additional 3.5 feet (as a result of revers ing the footprint of proposed home). - The revised proposal increases the already generous lakefront setback by an additional eleven feet. - Note that separation from the new house to the east is 27 feet, seven feet more than would be the case if both structures were the standard current setback of 10' from the common property line. 3 Also herewith is a copy of the floor plan as revised. Elevations are not included for the smaller floor plan footprint because the exterior ap- pearance of the structure has been essentially retained only reversed and downsized. 4. We hope you and the v.ommission agree that the revisions substantially comply with the Commission's direction, and that the Commission will 9ive favorable consideration at the April 15 session. If so, we also pfj the application be put before the next regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council. Atch.: 1. Revised site plan 2. Revised floor plan (3 pp) 3.

Existing 75-250' hardcover » 29.7% or 1,452 s.f Proposed = 46% or 2,551 s.f Section 10.75, Subd. 3: "Additional heights on sloping lots. On any lot sloping downhill trom the street, which has an average ground slope on that portion of the lot to be occupied by the main building of 25% or more (measured in the general direction of the side lot lines) an additional 12' of height may be permitted in such main building and the garage or parking space may be in the required front yard provided a yard of 10’ or more is maintained.": The average slope of the northerly 1/3 of the lot is 25%, although the area to be occupied by the garage/house structure has a slope of only 20%. It can therefore be argued that this code section does not apply and a front (street) setback variance is required. (Note also that siatY has determined tliis is not a bluff situation.) Discussion Please review the applicants' statement of hardship and description of unusual property conditions, E.\hibit D. A significant number of variances are requested for construction ot a new house to replace the existing residence structure on the property. The lot area and lot width variances are not, of course, created by this specific house proposal, although the small lot area impacts the hardcover and lot coverage percentages, and the minimal lot width results in the need to construct a relatively narrow residence. The steep sloi'e dov nward trom the road clearly has a significant impact on the house location, suegestmg tb.- appropriate use of a spancrete floor garage with living space below it. The 25% slope proviJons of zoning code Section 10.75, Subd. 3 (if applicabie) would allow the garage to encroach into the 30' front (street) yard to within 10' of the street nght-of-way. In this case a 25' setback is proposed which will leave enough depth for off-street parking of two vehicles side by side in front of the garage. The proposed 8' side setback (2' variance) on the northeast side still leaves a setback of a-^proximately 25' from the adjacent residence of A1 Seran. which was recently rebuilt. However, on the southwest side, the comer of the proposed attached garage will be it Zoning File #2098 January 8, 1996 Page 3 ^proximateiy 9* from the neighboring detached garage. The City has consistently attempted to maintain a minimum 10' setback between structures, and the code requires a separation of 10' between principal and accessory structures. The proposed house will be setback approximately 22' from the neighboring hou.se to the southwest, which also encroaches its required side yard (see survey). Lot coverage by structures is proposed at 1.795 s.f. or 21.0%. When the lot coverage ordinance was developed, it was recognized that even on very' small lots the property owner should be allowed a minimum 1,500 s.f. envelope for structures including the principal structure and the garage (Section 10.03, Subd. 14(C): E.xception ). In this case 15% of lot area would be 1,282.5 s.f., so the applicants' 1,500 s.f allowance would be equivalent to 17.5% lot coverage. The proposed excess therefore is 295 s.f. or 3.5%. It can be argued that this is a variance created by attempting to construct a house of a certain size. Applicants ’ hardship statement suggests that in the conte.xt ot new construction, this house is not oversized and the footprint is not excessive. Certainly a house can be built that meets the 1,500 s.t. standard, but to do so would essentially eliminate the porch, deck, and another 50 s.t. ot house or garage. The hardcover proposal for 46% in the 75-250' zone where only 25% is allowed, might be somewhat tempered by the fact that there will be virtually no hardcover in the 0-75 ’ zone. Also note that the overall h'lrdcover on the property yields appropriately 26% where the DNR standard would be 25% of the lot in hardcover. Drainage Drainage on the property is of significant concern to the City, because this property and the Seran property adjacent are the receivers of significant amounts of runoff from Highwood Road. One chanue which staff would strongly recommend is that the bottom of the swale to the northeast be centered on the lot Ime between applicants ’ residence and the Seran residence. Staff will be discussing this drainage pla.n with the City Engineer to determine if there are additional concerns. Note that the existing catch basin, storm drain tile and rip rap spillway were apparently constructed by the neighboring property owner, and it may be appropriate to keep that storm drain in place if the rip rap spillway is moved back to the 75 ’ setback line. Issues for Discussion 1, Has adequate hardship been demonstrated to justify granting the lot area and width variances? i I Zoning File #2098 January 8, 1996 Page 4 2.Docs the narrow lot width justify the granting of side setback variances on both sides of the proposed house? Should the house be shifted or redesigned to meet a 10' separation from the neighboring garage to the southwest? j.Does the topography of the lot suggest that the requested street setback variance is appropriate? 4.Given that the existing house meets the lot coverage standards and the total house replacement* proposal would allow something new to be constructed that meets all standards, is there any justification for granting a lot coverage variance? Staff Recommendation If Planning Commission finds adequate hardship and justification tor granting of the variances requested, then a recommendation for approval would be in order. Conversely, if Planning Commission finds that certain aspects of the proposal are not justified. Planning Commission may wish to provide the applicants an opportunity to revise the proposal. Options for Action 1. Recommend ipproval as proposed, with City staff and engineer to review drainage. a. 5. Recommend partial approval. Recommend denial. 4.

DATE |2iIZ^by I t :j * • / / -----i" HARDSHIP/DESCRIPTION OF UNUSUAL PROPERTY CONDITIONS o Subject property is encumbered by several hardships: It is very small (8550 SF) ; dimensionally narrow and deep; the grade drops steeply from street-level; the condition of the obsolete existing dwelling is beyond reasonable repair; the property lacks adequate off-street parking while being located on a narrow roadway lined with narrow lots resulting in exceptionally poor on-street parking capacity. Originally constructed as a "lake cottage” with no garage, the tiny existing house is now over 73 years old. Its utility is adversely affected by deferred maintenance, areas of decay and structural failure, and functional obsolescence. Some unsafe conditions are also present. This building isn't a candidate for rehabilitation or expansion and should be replaced. Applicant therefore needs to replace the structure with modern improvements: a new dwelling which should reasonably include two-stall garage and additional off-street parking. Applicant's hardcover variance (46%) seeks to overcome the hardship of the lot's small size and steep terrain while allowing for a modest-sized modern residence, garage, and driveway for added minimum off-street parking. Applicant's proposed improvements call for a 25-foot front/street setback instead of 30 feet which (1) permits a more compact structure and building "footprint"; (2) reduces hardcover with shorter driveway than is the case with 30' setback; and (3), helps to overcome the hardship of the steep grade, while still accommodating off-street parking for four vehicles (two garaged and two in drive) . The minor side-setback and the 5' (25' vs. 30') front- setback variances seem more than offset by the fact that the proposed new structure is 15 farther back from the lakeshore than the existing house ..(which is at the 75' minimum) . The proposal maintains ample sideyard separations from neighboring buildings. With relatively modest "footprint", the overall proposed improvements represent a reasonable solution for substantially overcoming the hardships. These improvements would also enhance the neighborhood by (1) replacing the worn, outmoded building in a way that offers an attractive new home which meets the modern needs for year-round permanent residency without disproportions! "over-building" or adverse impact on adjoining properties; and (2), by providing adequate off-street parking for four vehicles (two garaged, two in 25' driveway). hakdcover calculation worksheet SETBACK ZONE: (CIRCLE ONE) (^0-7y^ MC TTARPCOVER in zone 75-250’250-500’ A.

Gerhardson Tide Public Works Director Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: Engineer Report lira Descnption: Kelly Avenue Sewer In 1995 after careful smdy of the storm water problem on Kelly Avenue staff recommended to Council to proceed with a storm water project that would have involved the installation of a lift station that would pump the storm water by force main to the Lydiard Avenue access/swimming beach. The project also included the replacement of a segment of the sanitary sewer line in Kelly Avenue. The City Council decided to not install the lift station but to raise the road approximately two feet in the low area as well as replace the sanitary sewer line in Kelly Avenue. After reviewing the televised tape of the sanitary sewer system it was determined to relocate a manhole on Kelly Avenue 50 feet to the south, replace the sanitary sewer line on Kelly Avenue and relocate a sanitary sewer line that runs east of Kelly Avenue through residential yards. This matter was presented to Council in November of 1995 and approved to acquire the easements necessary to construct the sewer line. The amount estimated for replacing the sewer line in Kelly Avenue only was $18,090, by replacing the sewer line east of Kelly Avenue the engineer’s estimate was increased to $45,000. Bid and specs were prepared and we advertised for bids with the low bid at $40,595.50. Funding ir n a The total cost of $40,000 is divided between replacing the sewer line under Kelly Avenue ($!8.000) and replacing the sewer line that is perpendicular to Kelly Avenue to move it out of the wetland area ($22,000). The $18,000 cost can be accommodated within the Sewer Operating Budget under the sewer line repair account. The replacement of the line perpendicular to Kelly Avenue requires a budget amendment to add $22,000 to the amount budgeted for Capital Outlay in the Sewer Fund for 1996. The Sewer Fund has sufficient reserves to accommodate this expenditure and these reserves have been set aside specifically tor this purpose. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to award the bid for the Kelly Avenue area sewer project to Widmer Inc. at a cost of $40 595 50 to be funded from the Sewer Fund Operating Budget ($18,000) and from the Sewer Fund Capital Outlay Budget ($22,595.50), and amending the Sewer Fund Capital Outlay Budget to include the additional $22,595.50 expenditure.

The segment of line to be replaced was televised and deierrriined to be a problem area for the maintenance staff. The construction estimate for the project vvas $45,000 and the low bid was $40,595.50. The project is in an area where the groundwater is 6 to 8 feet above to the pipeline. The cost for the improvement is quite high relative to the length of the project because of the dcwaienng necessary to replace the pipe. If you have any questions, please contact this office.

Proposed Amendmeni of 1996 Fee Schedule B. Ron Moorse Memo of April 5, 1996 At the April 8, 1996 meeting of the Council, members directed staff to proceed with developing a fee or charge for local sewer and water charges to be collected on non-residential properties located within areas already assessed and served by municipal samtary sewer or water. Current code does not allow the city to charge for additional sewer or water units where non-residential use is either intensified or a new non-residential use is established on a previously developed property, altliough additional SAC units are collected by Metro. The city has been UMble to collect fees to cover increased costs resulting from the more intensified use of its facilities. The additional fee will be referred to as a Sewer or a Water Adjustment Charge and will be based on the current Service Availability Charge established by the Metropolitan Council Wastewater Services currently at $900.00 per unit as of March I, 1996. Note - owners will receive credit for previously assessed sewer and water units against the total number of units charged for a new use installed on a previously developed property.

Because of not being able to perform a test on the equipment until late summer of 1995, we felt it would be better to complete the purchase of the equipment in early 1996 allowing for a longer warranty period that falls within the golfing season. We have received bids from two vendors as follows; MTl North Star Turf 216 Reelmaster Hydro 70 Triplex $12,088.19 $11,709.68 Budgeted amount $11,900.00 COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: To purchase one National Hydro 70 Triplex Tee mower from North Star Turf for an amount of $11,709.68.

The master plan process involves the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Needs assessment. ^ Inventory and analysis of the current parks and park facilities that serve Orono s residents. Developing a set of goals and objectives for the city’s park system. Developing a master plan for the city’s park system that achieves the established goals and objectives. Parks Intern Projects - a The needs assessment was completed using a citizen survey. Preparing an inventory and analysis of the existing city parks and park facUities includes developing site plans of each of the city’s parks showing the existing facilities and amenities in each park. It also includes an analysis of each park to determine potential uses or amenities at each park based on the size of the park and the type of park i.e. mini park, neighborhood park, community park. This information is very helpful in determining how best to use the various city parks to meet identified needs. The city does not have staff with the time or expertise to complete an inventory and analysis of the city’s park system. A very cost effective method of accomplishing this project is to hire an intern with the expertise needed. In addition to the parks inventory, there are several other projects related to the parks master plan that could be completed by the intern. These are as follows: 1.Research and analyze the issue of ball fields from a multi-city perspective. Two projects related to open space preservation a. ) Prepare an inventory of existing open space areas including an evaluation of open space areas to identify areas the city may want to make efforts to preser\'e. b. ) Prepare a report of the range of options available to the city for preservmg open space without requiring the city to purchase the property. i 1 -rST-------“TT Im'Z. .— • •> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION 1c" DATE; April 18, 1996 ITEM NO.: i Department Approval: Name: Michael P.Gaffi'on Tide; Asst. Planning A Zoning Administrator Administrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: City Administrator's Report Item Description: Administration Copier Replacement Background The Savin 7500 copier which was purchxsed in 1988 is near the end of its reliable service life and has been budgeted for replacement in 1996. During the past two months I have obtained product information and written price quotes from a number of companies for a replacement copier. Each company was requested to furnish a quote to include outright purchase of the equipment with a service contract, to include trade-in of the Savin 7500 at the bidders option. Based on our stated 30,000 copy per month average volume, we received quotes from 8 suppliers encompassing 9 copier brands and a total of 18 distinct models. In order to evaluate the suitability of each, staff devel^oed a punch list of minimum required features which included: - 4 paper sources (8.5x 11. 11 x8.5. 8.5x 14, 11x17) plus bypass - 8.5x1 1 large capacity cassette (2500 sheet minimum) - Automatic document feeder - 20-bin sorter with automatic stapler - 50-200% zoom enlargement/reduction capability - 50-sheet duplexing capability - Recycled paper capability Of the 18 models. 10 appeared to nieet the minimum criteria. These 10 exhibited a wide range in copier spc ed and features as well as in purcha.se price, trade allowance and maintenance contract cost.

Additionally, supplies would now be included in the package rather than purchased separately.

CDP Package Cost Savings and .\dditional Benefits $ .00694 (40% savings) This proposal would appear to provide substantial savings to the City over the existing program, more than $14,000 over a five-year period. Under this proposal a new Minolta 6000 would have a per copy cost over 5 years ol S .0191 per copy ($15,254 /1,800,000 = $ .0084 + $ .0107 = $ .0191), nearly comparable to the lowest bid machine. Additionally, the City would retain the Savin /500 at a maintenance cost of about 1-cent per copy, until CDP determines it is no longer feasible to maintain it at such a reasonable cost, at which time it would be retired. There would be no charge to move the 7500 to the PW location. Copier ReplacenKnt 4.18-96 Page 3 There are a number of benefits to keeping the Savin 7500 aside from the obvious cost factor: - If placed in the Public Works building, would provide that department with convenient access to copier, perhaps significant in light of the recently established Public Works information management system. Also would serve as a full-capability emergency backup to the primary copier in the Administrative office should the need arise. - If relocated somewhere within the Administrative office, would provide the same emergency backup function and further provide a convenient, full-capability, secondary copy source during times w hen it is not appropriate to interrupt a job in progress on the primary copier. New Copier Selection • Recommendation for Purchase; Minolta feOOO During the last two weeks Jamie Bosma (who is responsible for copying agenda packets and is the primary user of the copier) and I have "test driven" most of the copiers under consideration. Factors other than price which entered into our recommendation include: - First copy speed, copies-per-minute capability - Paper supply configuration and accessibility - Console size to fit available space - Intuitive operating controls - Capacity to interrupt/discontinue a sort job and return to it later - Functionality of integral stapling unit - Ease of toner replacement - Access for user maintenance, clearing jams, etc. - E.xpected productivity related to processing technology (for instance, how quickly and efficiently certain types of common copying tasks/jobs can be accomplished) We concluded that the Minolta 6(X)0 supplied by CDP offers the best combination of value and operating features for the City's needs. Further, the maintenance package offered by CDP appears to be an excellent value to the City. I would recommend that the City purchase the Minolta 6000 copier from CDP at the quoted price of SI5.254 (plus tax), and enter into a long term package maintenance agreement with CDP per their quote (see attachments ). COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to approve the purchase of the Minolta 6CKX) copier from CDP at a cost of $15,254 (plus tax) and to enter into a long-term package maintenance agreement with CDP. mm , « ~^.x^ - -^ ,— ^ - w-V*“ ^ • ' • A--*!: V - m i,-' AXi^KrT^ci^:'; ;. t-3LS»»-sf=a*r: i«-* ' •• PROPOSAL FOR nrr. i .i 1 1 I 1 i 4 ^ I ^^-♦;:..7y-4 r,v:::r- /.--. > - - 0?;-^ '‘i:•'./>• ' ^ '•’•••\ ’*•*"' -• *'^ ' . •* •"‘* .!,*•»" - * -'-r V .

INTRODUCTION This report addresses the portion of TH 12 in Hennepin County from CR 6 on the west, through Long Lake and Orono to M94 in Wayzata on the east, a distance of approximately 6.5 miles. Given the level of existing and projected traffic volumes on this roadway, plus the fact that there is insufficient right-of-way through the City of Long Lake to provide for additional lanes, the logical solution to increasing capacity of TH 12 is a bypass of the Long Lake commercial district. Until recently, the necessary right-of-way had largely been preserved in an undeveloped state to facilitate future construction of a southern bypass. Regardless of recent residential encroachment on this corridor, a southern bypass still offers the best possible long term solution for addressing the congestion on existing HW 12, from a traffic operations point of view As such, this option should be included in any subsequent analysis of alternative for the TH 12 corridor. In the event that the southern bypass is ultimately found to be infeasible for any reason, including financial constraints, the Three Component TSM option addressed in this paper should be seriously evaluated for its potential to be a viable alternative It must be acknowledged that any proposal other than either widening the existing roadway, with its resulting prohibitive and unacceptable 'mpacts. or a complete bypass, will represent a compromise in operational efficiency of TH 12. II. PROJECT HISTORY TH 12 presently has the third highest average daily traffic (ADT) for a two-lane roadway in the metropolitan area, with the leading two roadways both scheduled for major capacity increases The need for improvements in the Highway 12 corridor was identified nearly forty years ago, with the TH 12 Corridor Study first beginning in the spring of 1958 and continuing today. Fcr the growing communities south and west of the corridor. TH 12 is the primary means of access to the Twin Cities. TH 12 also extends to the South Dakota border, serving as an important link in the statewide transportation system Over the years the problem has been addressed from a number of perspectives Initial plans called for construction of a new limited-access highway south of the present faci'ity between Wayzata and the area west of Maple Plain. As planning continued, communities and interest groups raised issues about the alignment, and new alternatives were presented Efforts still centered on a four-lane highway, with a number of possible alignments. However, the southern route was generally accepted as the likely route, and the comprehensive plans of Long Lake, Maple Plain, Orono and Independence were developed accordingly. Planning in the corridor waned in the 1970s, but was reactivated in the 1980s. Corridor studies were undertaken to evaluate alternatives from Minneapolis to the South Dakota border. Expansion of the existing highway in Hennepin County was a prominent issue Several c' the alternatives were eliminated because of unacceptable impacts, engineering or other factors. The alternative using the existing alignment remained PARSONS DRINCKERHOFF w \Ionglake\repoftdoc Planning efforts Intensified in 1989 when the Minnesota Department of Transjwrtation (Mn/DOT) issued a scoping infbrmation document and began work on a study of the TH 12 romdor from Wavzata to Delano. A consultant was hired in 1990 to assist in the study, and a scoping (kximent was issued in earty 1992. This document was sut^ to public review and cornment In December 1992, Mn/DOT issued a scoping decision document The documwt descnb^^ evaluation pronsa that included numerous alternatives.

CITY OF LONG LAKE CHARACTERISTICS The city of Long Lake is a historic community whose local government and residents are concerned with maintaining the character and viability of their dty. As transportation alternatives in the TH 12 corridor are developed and evaluated. Long Lake will work to ensure that the following unique characteristics are addressed. A Fixed Boundaries The downtown area of Long Lake was platted over 125 years ago. and its boundanes have changed very little since that time. The majority of the residential areas were annexed in the 1950's \Mhen sewer and water service was made available. The city has fixed municipal boundaries, being completely surrounded by the lake and ottier communities. Most of the land in the city is developed, and a majority of the available parcels were annexed from the City of Orono and have covenants permitting single-family residential uses only. The result is a situation where new or relocated development can occur only at the expense of existing residences or businesses. Expansion of the business district is also limited by the lake and the Department of Natural Resources Shoreline Ordinance. B. Commercial District Borders TH 12 Long Lake ’s commercial district borders TH 12. The business district has continued to develop, in recent years, in the same location where the area's first businesses were located. This development not only carries on the history of the area, it also follows the pattern established in the city's comprehensive plan, which was based on a highway alternative passing south of Long Lake. Since the earliest settlements on the shores of Long Lake, the town's businesses have served the region, and not just the residents of the town Development of a viable commercial center in Long Lake has left adjacent communities to develop as residential areas. The size and vitality of the commercial district indicate that it is not supported just by Long Lake ’s population. Shoppers and clients travel to Long Lake ’s commercial center from locations outside the city. In many cases, the businesses lie at the edge of the present TH 12 right-of-way. with no room for widening of the highway Most businesses have-and need-driveway access onto the highway. C. Community Character Long Lake is a small city with a strong sense of community and history. Residents identify with the town and participate in its activities. The town has served as a focus of life in the area since its founding. Its businesses, churches and recreation areas have drawn people from surrounding areas, and the presence of Long Lake as a commercial center has shaped the development of adjacent communities. Long Lake is more diverse in age. income and residence type than surrounding communities, in addition to providing the majority of businesses and services in the area. There is more moderately priced housing in Long Lake, and more multi-unit dwellings. Long Lake ’s businesses and residences lie on both sides of TH 12. The highway presently bisects the community However, the existing highway consisting generally of two lanes with frequent access for cross-streets and dnveways. permits circulation on and across the highway. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w:Mongtake\repart.doc IV. MNmOT PROCESS A. Recent Changes in Process On November 28, 1995 Mn/DOT announced a change in the decision making process for the TH 12 corridor. The process was changed, in part to address new requirements and processes developed by U.S. Department of Transportation. In a follow-up letter, Mn/DOT stated that the new process is intended to eliminate infeasible alternatives earlier in the process than would be possible by preparing an Environmental Impact Statement. Mn/DOT intends to make use of a new project evaluation process know as a Major Investment Study (MIS). In a publication issued to explain the difference between the MIS and EIS processes, Mn/DOT emphasized the use of fiscal feasibility analysis as a means of eliminating project alternatives. The document states that by using the MIS process Mn/DOT will reduce infeasible alternatives from further consideration at an earlier point in time. Those alternatives would then be the subject of environmental evaluation. At the November 28, 1995 meeting Mn/DOTs project manager said that changes in the funding situation for highway projects has resulted in an Mn/DOT policy to emphasize preservation of existing facilities, leaving insufficient me nies for consta'ction of large new highway projects like many of the TH 12 corridor alternatives As a consequence, Mn/DOT is including Transportation System Management (TSM) altjmative* in the TH 12 corridor. These are alternatives that would make use, where possible, of existing facilities. A new highway in the corridor could cost $300- 400 million, while TSM alternatives fall in the $80-100 million range. Mn/DOT does not intend to conduct a full MIS. The agency is not required to do so as the environmental evaluation process for TH 12 was formally under way at the time the regulations went into effect. Instead, Mn/DOT is applying some of the MIS evaluation tools. Mn/DOT’s is currently working to define what evaluauon process will be used to complete the study and to reduce the number of options under consideration. At a meeting on January 18, 1996 Mn/DOTs project manager announced that a decision was expected by mid-April on the elimination of infeasible alternatives, and the process for subsequent evaluation. That process could entail completion of the EIS already under way, termination of the current EIS and start-up of another EIS or Environmental Assessment (a less comprehensive process, used for less complex projects such as TSM alternatives), or amendment of the 1992 Scoping Decision Document. B. MIS Process The MIS process is intended by U.S. Department of Transportation to improve selection of transportation projects. The intent is to provide earlier, more comprehensive information to the decision making process. An MIS is intended to identify; a range of alternatives to meet a defined transportation problem benefits costs impacts financing issues and strategies The public is to be involved in the development of alternatives and selection of evaluation criteria. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w:\longiake\report.doc Evaluation criteria include; effectiveness • the extent to which alternatives meet defined project goals, as well as local, state and national goals (transportation and other) cost effectiveness • the direct and indirect costs of the project financial feasibility, within a realistic framework of funding availability equity • feir distribution of costs and benefits across economic, geographical, ethnic and other subgroups Social, economic and environmental impacts are to be assessed. The MIS process is intended to evaluate the full range of impacts of various transportation alternatives. No single criterion takes precedence over the others, and the public is to be involved in the decision on how to apply the evaluation criteria. Alternatives which survive the MIS process are still subject to environmental evaluation following the EIS or Environmental Assessment process. C. Financial Framework Mn/DOT staff have indicated that the cost effectiveness and financial feasibility criteria will be emphasized for the TH 12 project. A formal cost/benefit analysis will be done for all alternatives, with each alternative assigned a rating. Only direct, quantifiable costs and benefits will be used to calculate the rating. This would include capital and operating costs, including right-of-way acquisition costs, but not the cost of the lost commercial tax base, for example. Quantifiable benefits would also include travel time savings and reduced accidents throughout the length of the corridor Mn/DOT also is emphasizing the financial feasibility of the alternatives, in light of reduced funding for highways. Alternatives making use of existing right-of-way and entailing minimum new construction are likely to fare well. As noted above, TSM alternatives have costs ranging from $80-100 million, as compared with costs for new four-lane highways that fall in the $300-400 million range. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w:\longlake\report.doc V. CITY OF LONG LAKE ISSUES A. Equity of Impacts Alternatives focusing on significant capacity expansion of existing TH 12 disproportionately affect Long Lake. Long Lake is concerned that the equity of impacts within communities in the corridor be evaluated for each alternative. In keeping with the MIS process, the social, economic and environmental impacts of the alternatives on economic and geographic subgroups should be compared. The selected alternative should provide equitable distribution of any negative impacts. As such, the corridor must be viewed as a collection of communities, as well as a whole While dispersion of traffic-related impacts is important the equity of negative impacts is particularly critical with respect to the effects of the project on economic activities and social cohesion. B. Community impacts The environmental « alysis process provides specific requirements for evaluation of social impacts. While the MIS process is flexible, the importance of evaluating land use. economic development, social, recreational and cultural impacts is not lessened under an MIS It is important that the socioeconomic impacts of the vanous alternatives be given appropnate weight in the evaluation process. Federal metropolitan planning regulations require that a Major Investment Study consider direct and indirect costs of alternatives, and such factors as mobility improvements; social, economic and environmental effects; safety: operating efficiencies: and land use and urban development impacts, historical, cultural and parkland impacts, and secondary and cumulative impacts Socioeconomic impact evaluation under an EIS must look at the total positive and negative effects a project would have on a community. This includes the effect of the project on taxes and property values, as well as community cohesion, availability of public services, and employment. Socioeconomic evaluation must look at the project’s impacts in terms of changes in quality of life; income distribution; community character, cohesion and segmentation; major employment centers; and housing stock, ownership and tenure While MIS regulations do not specify this level of detail in the socioeconomic analysis, these factors will ultimately have to be considered for the preferred alternative, and should be a factor in selecting that alternative and in particularly eliminating others C. Evaluation Methodology 1. Cost/Benefit Analysis Long Lake is concerned that the evaluation methodology be technically sound and in keeping with the spirit of the MIS process. To that end, a full range of costs and benefits must be evaluated. Quantifiable costs and benefits should be included wherever possible and appropnate. including the verifiable tax base impacts of relocations (this would be a requirement of the EIS process) However, the evaluation process must not be reduced to comparison of a single-digit cost/benefit ratio for each alternative. Professional planning practice over the past several decades has demonstrated that non- quantifiable costs and benefits have equal importance with quantifiable ones, and that a valid project selection process must consider both. Two difficulties confront planners evaluating the costs and benefits of public investment. The first is the complexity of quantifying the costs and bene^ts of elements such as historic preservation, quality of life issues, and environmental impacts to natural resources such as Long Lake. The second difficulty is in assessing who experiences the costs (negative impacts or direct financial costs), as compared to who benefits. This raises the issue of equity of impacts. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w;Vlongtake\report.doc One commentary on cost/benefit analysis stated, ”Benefit/cost analyses of most public policy decisions have been both much needed and frequently wrong....There are huge, almost always insurmountable, problems in identifying and measuring the benefits and costs. Thus it is that the value is in the concept, rather than in using it as a rigid and narrow decision rule. It is most valuable as a way of thinking and most dangerous as a formula to replace judgment in decision making...(t)here remain enormous problems in identifying and then measuring benefits and costs. The best aids are careful thinking, experience with similar projects, and recognition that the benefits and costs can be only partly quantified and that tenefit/cost analysis thus provides background for judgment- not a replacement for judgment'' 2. Traffic Analysis Procedure Forecasted traffic data is an important factor in Mn/DOTs evaluation and design of the alternatives. However, there are significant unresolved issues pertaining to the underling principles used by Mn/DOT in their traffic analysis procedure. These issues relate to the assigned roadway links and their hourly design capacity. Primary issues relating to previous TH 12 traffic forecasting include; • The traffic forecast did not include the new (1993) County Road 6/I-494 interchange in Plymouth for either the existing (1994) or future (2015) analysis. • The existing and future traffic forecast did not include the 1.4 mile upgrade of County Road 6 between TH 101 and 1-494 CR 6 was expanded from a 2-lane to a 5 lane cross-section in this area • TH 101 is a four-lane roadway running north/south connecting TH 12 and CR6 in Wayzata and Plymouth. It has previously been modeled under two-lane capacities (850 vph) • Under the Mn/DOT TSM alternative, existing and relocated Watertown Road were assigned the same roadway capacity (650 vph). The new facility, with less driveway interference, shoulders, and better roadway geometries can be expected to have a greater volume capacity and attract a greater number of vehicles. • TH 55 in Plymouth is a four-lane divided highway located approximately 3 miles north of TH 12 TH 55 was modeled under existing 1994 conditions with an average, daily traffic volume of 11.120 vehicles. Year 1994 traffic counts on the facility near 1-494 show an ADT of 46,000 vehicles This severe discrepancy suggests the traffic forecasting results may require further refinement and validation Based on the factors outlined above, it appears that past traffic forecasting may not have permitted evaluating the effectiveness of all alternatives. Previous analyses may have underestimated the capacity of CR 6 and Watertown Road to provide local access relief, resulting in possible overestimation of projected traffic volumes on TH 12. The effects of combining these new model inputs with the TH 12 alternatives have yet to be studied.

DESCRIPTION OF TH 12 THREE-COMPONENT PROPOSAL The three-component TSM proposal involves a combination of improvements to existing roadways as a substitute to relocating or significantly upgrading the existing TH 12 conidor. The alternative addresses the portion of the corridor study from approximately CR 6 in western Orono to 1-494 in Wayzata/Plymouth. Specific roadways included in the alternative are; • Tnjnk Highway 12 • County Road 6 • Watertown Road The scope of the proposal Is to study the effects of upgrading TH 12. CR 6 and Watertown Road to operate as a coordinated roadway system. For the three-component TSM proposal to operate efficiently, the proposal must be considered together as a complete package. Trunk Highway 12 • TH 12 would remain on its current right-of-way through Long Lake and Orono. as well as remaining the principal route for both regional vehicle and truck traffic TH 12 would continue to provide one through lane in each direction, with separate turning lanes at primary intersections through downtown Long Lake. Minor system enhancements at local intersections, including elimination of some residential or commercial access, would be studied. County Road 6 • CR 6 is located approximately a mile north of and parallel to TH 12. It is a two- lane rural roadway from its intersection with TH 12 on the west to TH 101. Between TH 101 and I- 494 it has recently been upgraded to a 5-lane urban section No expansion of mainline capacity is proposed. Minor intersection improvements between Femdale Road and TH 12 would be studied. The intersection of CR 6 and TH 12 in west Orono would be reconstructed, but remain as an ag grade intersection. Similar to Mn/DOTs previous TSM proposal, a new access ramp between Ferndale Road and TH 12 would be studied to facilitate access to CR 6 Watertown Road - Watertown Road is currently an east/'west local access road located south of TH 12 in Long Lake and Orono. Eastern access to TH 12 from Watertown Road is hindered by a sub-standard railway underpass and intersection layout. West of its intersection with TH 12. Watertown Road winds through a residential area of Long Lake for approximately one mile before intersecting Willow Road West of the intersection, Watertown Road is a two-lane rural roadway providing access to adjacent farming properties in Orono and Long Lake. Under this TSM proposal, Watertown Road would be reconstructed on existing alignment to provide a two-lane local access roadway from CR 6 to Glendale Drive. Roadway shoulders would be provided throughout its length, and turning lanes where required. Minor alignment and roadway elevation changes would be incorporated to provide for adequate sight distances. From Glendale Drive to Orono Orchard Road. Watertown Road would be relocated on new alignment along the Long Lake/Orono border for approximately 1.1 miles East of Orono Orchard Road Watertown Road would connect to TH 12 as a two-lane roadway on new alignment similar to the Mn/DOT TSM proposal. The roadway would proceed east along the railroad tracks for approximately 1.2 miles, tunneling under both the rail line and the Luce Line Trail. The alignment would connect to TH 12 by ramps utilizing a westbound badge and an eastbound access lane (Figure 3). The western terminus of upgraded Watertown Road is proposed at its intersection with CR 6. which is scheduled for possible surface improvements in the near future to the City of Watertown. A western connection between Watertown Road and TH 12 would initially be accomplished using the existing roadways. If future growth required a connection to TH 12. upgrades to the existing roadway system or new alignment options would be investigated at that time.

JUSTIFICATION FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE THREE-COMPONENT PROPOSAL Additional studies are necessary to determine whether the three-component proposal alternative can be effective in providing sufficient operational capacity for the area. These studies are justified given the following inherent advantages of the three-component TSM alternative. Providing local communities with long-term, safe access to/from TH 12 Minimizing property acquisition in the study area Promoting the use of existing transportation infrastructure Balancing TH 12 local access and regional significance issues Minimizing the cost of the TH 12 project Minimizing environmental issues These issues are discussed under the group headings of traffic system management project costs, community issues, and environmental issues. A. Traffic System Management Until the traffic forecasts are re-run with the corrected input vanables, the direct traffic impacts of each alternative remain unknown. However, justification for the three-component alternative to be included with the reforecasted traffic analysis revolves around its potential for meeting both the mobility needs of the local residents and the capacity needs of the region. Mn/DOTs preliminary traffic forecasts predict only a 30% increase in daily traffic on TH 12 through Long Lake between the years 1994 and 2015 Since Long Lake has few undeveloped parcels of land remaining, a majority of the traffic increase can be assumed to be from communities outside Long Lake. This assumption is confirmed by examining the local and county roadways that feed TH 12. Under the no-build alternative, between the years 1994 and 2015, daily traffic is expected to increase by 45% on County Road 6, by 95% on County Road 110, and by 690% on Watertown Road in Orono. TABLE 1 - TH 12 ROADWAY CORRIDOR FORECASTED TRAFFIC VOLUMES Roadway Percent Increase in Traffic 1995-2015 Trunk Highway 12 30% County Road 6 45% County Road 110 95% Watertown Road 690% The three-component TSM alternative addresses the increasing local development surrounding TH 12 by providing locally generated traffic with increased access to the existing freeway portion of TH 12. and the two nearby interstate highways (1-394 and 1-494). Regional demand is proposed to be met through a combination of reducing demand on TH 12 and minor capacity upgrades along the three corridors. By relocating a portion of local traffic to Watertown Road and CR 6. in combination with minor upgrading of intersection capacity and access along TH 12. regional traffic may operate with an adequate level-of-service. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w \longtake\report.doc B. Project Cost The proposed three-component TSM altemadve minimizes costs over previous build alternatives by limiting the right-of-way requirements in the study area. CR 6 and TH 12 would remain on existing right-of-way and require only minor intersection modifications. The most significant improvements under this proposal are summarized below: TABLE 2. REQUIRED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS FOR PROPOSED TSM ALTERNATIVE Roadway Section Proposed Improvement County Road 6 • System management/intersection improvements throughout • At-grade intersection with Trunk Highway 12 Trunk Highway 12 • System management/intersection improvements throughout • Ramp connection at Femdale Road (further examination) Watertown Road • Add shoulders and geometric improvements from CR 6 to Glendale Drive. • New connector road from approximately Glendale Drive to Orono Orchard Road • Direct connection from Orono Orchard Road to TH 12 via a tunnel and new alignment • New half-interchange at TH 12 No cost data has been developed for this proposal; however, based on the minimal right-of-way requirements and reduced scope, the expected cost of the proposed TSM alignment will be significantly less than the estimated $80-100 million cost of the Mn/DOT TSM alternative, or the proposed $100-400 million alternatives on new alignment C. Community Issues Measunng the community impacts for each alternative involves, among other tasks, quantifying the required residential and commercial taking, and the degree to which neighborhood and commercial areas have access affected. 1. Decreased Residential and Commercial Taking The proposed three-component TSM alternative would result in a significant avoidance of residential and commercial properties compared to previous alternatives TABLE 3. RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL IMPACTS Previous Comdor Alternatives Impact Criteria Residential Properties Commercial Properties in the Corridor in the Corridor Upgrade existing TH 12 (Alignment F)78 31 Southern Bypass (Alignment B)61 0 Northern Bypass (Alignment G)47 1 TSM Alternative (Alignment D)97 0 Source: TH 12 Scoping Decision Document December. 1992 PARSONS 11 w;Mongfake\report.doc BRtNCKERHOFF Along TH 12. no residentiai or commercial structures would be required. Four residential homes are potentially required along the proposed Watertown Road connection in addition to minor property taking and easements.2. Improved Residential AccessThe three^mponent alternative is designed to alleviate the existing condition which requires area residents to travel through the congested portion of TH 12 in downtown Long Lake for both local and regional trips.For residents in Long Lake and Orono, a direct connection from HW 12 to Watertown Road vrould likely provide a more convenient and reliable means of access than either the existing Watertown Road or TH 12. Residences along TH 12 may experience some reduction in traffic under the proposal, resulting in increased residential traffic mobility and access. 3. improved Commercial Access Access for commercial properties along the south shore of Long Lake could be potentially enhanced with the reduction in traffic. More importantly, the proposal does not eliminate current businesses in Long Lake or Orono, nor does it significantly remove a large proportion of pass-by trips the businesses rely on. 4. Decreased Tax Base Impacts As a consequence of the city's built-up and landlocked location, any businesses or residences taken for expansion of the highway will have to be relocated outside Long Lake. This would adversely affect Long Lake’s tax base and well as its socioeconomic environment. Studies by Long Lake indicate that a four-lane highway on the TH 12 alignment could result in the loss of $11.7 million in properties, at 1993 market rates, and $471,000 (1991 dollars) in lost tax revenue. This property and revenue, approximately 23% of total tax revenues coming to the city, could not be replaced. The three-component TSM alternative will have significantly less tax-base impacts on the area as a result of its substantially reduced property taking. 5. Police/Emergency Response The proposed TSM alternative may enhance police and emergency access to communities within the study area without severely limiting or closing existing access. Enhanced response may result from the improved conditions along Watertown Road. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w:\Jonglake\report.doc alin:hrnmle Jl. lly te je or ig lie lid ax M its D. Environmental IssuesThe reduced scope of the project may result in reduced environmental impacts when compared to the other TSM alternatives.1. WetlandsWetland impacts may be significantly reduced by staying on existing roadway alignment for a majority of the construction. The proposed alternative avoids impacting Long Lake. Morris T. Baker County Park, or the significant areas of wetlands in Orono. Along the proposed Watertown Road connection, avoidance of any degradation to Long Lake Creek and associated wetlands would be required.2.

Pumping SUtion . . ^ ^u ^ The Metropolitan Council operates a lift station near Long Lake Creek and Orono Orchard Road Other TSM alternatives would have required the station to be relocated. Preliminary results indicate the three-component TSM alternative will avoid impacting the lift station. 4. Level of Documentation r B6C3US6 B majority of th© threo-component TSM alignments make use of existing ngnt- of-way. it is likely that this TSM alternative could be evaluated through preparation of an Environmental Assessment, a far quicker and less cumbersome process than an EIS. This speedier process would benefit both Mn/DOT and the citizens of the area, by potentially providing an improved transportation facility in a much shorter time-frame and at less cost for the evaluation than for other alternatives. IS. PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w;\longlaKe\repoft.doc VIII. CONCLUSION Historically, the TH 12 Southern Bypass alternative has been preferred alternative for handling the expanding traffic requirements of the study area. The alignment and design characteristics permit the Southern Bypass to be the only alternative meeting the project objective of reducing congestion alorrg existing TH 12 while still operating at an acceptable level-of-service. As documented in this proposal, the three-component TSM alternative (CR 6. TH 12. Watertown Road) should be included with previously identified options for further analysis for the following reasons: • It offers the potential to be an economical alternative. • It involves minimal adverse environmental impacts. • It involves minimal 'jdverse social and econcmic impacts. All alternatives must be evaluated for the extent of lost tax base in Long Lake. This is a critical issue for that community and one which is provided for in the MIS/EIS/EA process under equity consideration. • Existing traffic forecasts are flawed or incomplete and therefore do not facilitate a quantifiable assessment the potential for auxiliary roadways to contribute to congestion reduction on existing TH 12. • The scope of work would likely not require a full EIS, thereby expediting the remaining evaluation and a,oproval process. • The combined effect o the three facilities (TH 12. CR 6 and Watertown Road) has not been previously considered. The inclusion of the three-component TSM alternative follows the spirit and context of the MIS process by expanding the scope of an individual corridor study into a transportation system study. The quantifiable benefits of the proposal, combined with the incomplete past traffic analysis basis of previous proposals, offers the potential for considerably advancing the TH 12 decision implementation For these reasons the City of Long Lake request MN/DOT to include the three-component TSM alternative in the updated TH 12 traffic forecasts and the upcoming MIS/EIS decision document i, -.**J PARSONS BRINCKERHOFF w:\longlake\feporl.doc ss..:r ; •: •;. • •• :• ■■•:, / • ' ' ■*.’ - > • NEWSLETTER Femdale Road Residents Committee ■ . - ■>. ■ Stay informed and make your voice heard On April 22 MnDOT will be announcing Hw>' 12 expansion plan alternatives selected for further study, design and analysis A 30 day public comment period and informational meetings will follow At these meetings MnDOT will provide informa tion on the selected alternatives This is an op portunity for you to make your voice heard, whether you are a resident or business owner in the affected areas We strongly urge you to at tend these meetings Orono meeting • Monday, April 29, 6:30 pm Orono High School Cafeteria (Old Crystal Ba> Kd just south of County Rd 6 and nonh of Hu> 12) Wavzata meeting • Tuesday, May 7, 4:00-6:30 pm St. Ban's Catholic Church and School (Corner of Way/^ita BKd and Broadway) Acc niplishments since last newsletter MnDOT Meeting On Friday, April 5, the Femdale Road Residents Committee and Plymouth Council member Chris tian Preus met with MnDOT officials to make all management levels at MnDOT aw are of our op position to the proposed interchange at Hwy 12 April 17, 1996 and Femdale Rd as a part of the TSM (Transportation Systems Management) alterna tive We spoke as representatives of the residents and also told them of strong opposition to this pro posed interchange by the city Councils of Wayzata and Plymouth.

Nearly 40 years later, MnDOT managers appear to be leaning toward a specific proposal, one that has people in Orono, Plymouth and Wayzata hopping mad It's called Transportation System Management (TSM), and it is designed as an alterna- live to expanding existing roads Irom two to four lanes. MnDCJT’s Tom O’Keefe, appearing at a public city council workshop at Wayzata City Hall last Wednes day, said TSM is one of 10 op- iions under consideration. FERNDALE: To Page llA From Page lA“Eight of the alternatives are four- lane alternatives," he said. “One is TSM, and one is no-build." O’Keefe said MnDOT planned to pare down its list of options April 22. What he left*unsaid is that TSM appears to be the only option under serious consideration. “The four-lane alternatives face two obstacles," O’Keefe said. “One, lack of funding in the metro area, and two. Met Council doesn’t favor four-lane expansion outside of the Metropolitan Urban Ser vices (Area)." O’Keefe said the department is always required to add “no-build" to its list of op tions, but that choice has received little attention. The TSM proposal would make more minor improvements to existing roads in an attempt to disperse traffic more even ly along east-west roadways, including County Road 6 and Watertown Road as well as Highway 12 Part of the plan calls for an interchange connecting Highway 12 to Ferndale Road. O’Keefe said I'SM was a late entry in MnDOT’S plans, growing out of media tion between Orono and Long Lake. “Early on in that process, it was rec ognized that perhaps four lanes were not needed," said O’Keefe, who added that the proposal should reduce usage of Fer ndale Road. Wayzata City Councilmember Andrew Humphrey then asked O’Keefe, if that was the case, why the ferndale inter change was needed O’Keefe answered that it hud been drawn into the plan based on tralTic forecasts that attempt to predict road usage for the next 20 years. When asked by a member of the audience how accurate those forecasts are, O’Keefe said, “We do need to do more work on them.” * If being calm, cool and collected gets us an interchange, maybe we should go for wild, hot and random! * — Tim Wold Plymouth City Councilmember The workshop was later opened for questions from the audience, but O'Keefe heard more angry rhetoric than inquiry. “We’ve been here for 46 years," said Phil Harder of 127 S. Femdale Road in Wayzata. “I just can ’t understand the jus tification for this. I think it’s an unwise move for the city." Councilmember Chris Morrison then reminded the citizens in attendance that they should st>k to asking questions, cit ing the "uniqv! opportunit)r" of having a MnDOT repres .mtative appear at the pub lic meeting. Bu. more posturing followed. Julie Streetei Dallin, president of the Greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Con»- merce, voiced her organization ’s opposi tion to the proposal. "This option would bo detrimental to the business community," she said, “par ticularly retail." Her remarks were greeted with ap plause from the assembly. Plymouth City Councilmember Tim Wold then stepped to the podium, delivering a short but pas sionate speech that drew another chorus of applause. Wold prefaced his remarks by an nouncing that he was appearing at the meeting in his official capacity os Ply mouth’s Ward 2 councilmember. He added that the Plymouth Council has al ready voted unanimously to oppose ai.y interchange at Ferndale Road. “We are very concerned about the safe ty of our streets," he said. “What we are talking about in my mind’s eye is turning Femdale into a four-lane road. This just doesn’t make common sense." Wold said that if the interchange were built and traffic grew to meet MnDOT projections, his city would be forced to ex pand the road to four lanes. He also ques tioned the compromise that begat TSM. “I ’ve got more constituents in Ward 2 than in the entire city of Long Lake," Wold said. I implore you, when you elim inate alternatives, eliminate anything that includes an interchange at Ferndale Road. “We’ve been calm, cool and collected. But if being calm, cool and collected gets us an interchange, maybe we should go for wild, hot and random! “My resolve is rock solid.” Wold was just part of a highly visible Plymouth contingent at the meeting. Also speaking were Councilmember Christian Preus and Mayor Joy Tierney. Both spoke in opposition of the inter change, although Preus commended O’ Keefe on his handling of the situation. Preus also said he believed that either the interchange would not generate the anticipated traffic, or ho said, “the pro jections will come true and the inter change is just a band-aid approach to a much bigger problem." O’Keefe said he is not convinced that the interchange is not necessary, saying that the Twin Cities saw population in crease by 20 percent from 1970-1990, while vehicle miles traveled increased 230 percent during that same period. He went on to say that MnDOT has earmarked $39 million for the Highway 12 project beginning in 2001. He said the department will narrow its options April 22 and announce a final decision on ex pansion plans in October 1997.

His remarks were made dur ing a workshop session with the Wayzata Qty Council prior to its regular meeting on April 3. The session was attended by a group of residents from Wayzata, Orono and Plymouth who are fighting the idea of an inter change access to Highway 12 off North Femdale Road. Ramps off Femdale Road are part of the conceptual plans for the management system and would be mcluded as possibili ties tor future study. MnDOT officials hop>e to have final deci sions on which elements of the management system would be constructed bv October 1997. O'Keefe said he was sending "as clear a message as I'm able to give" while explairung that there are two magir obstacles to a four- lane highway altemabve: a lack of highway construction fundii^ in the metro area and the fact that the Metropolitan Council does not favor such an expan sion past the dty of Lxing Lake. He also said that the traffic man agement system alternative grew out of mediation proceed ings between the department. Long Lake and Orono. Under the management sys tem option, Femdale Road North would serve as a collector route for tra ffic off County Road 6. Although w'Keete told the audience that tbt* road could remain a two-lar thoroughfare, Plynmouth Counalmember Tim Wold said the dty would install a four-lane road if traffic became heavy. Femdale Road North lies half in PlvTnouth and half in Orono. The two cities would have to agree on that matter before any expansion took place. The Plymouth City Council opposes any Highwav 12 access off of Femdale Road North. Wold told O'Keefe he felt MnDOT was trying to shift the problem of expanding the high way through Long Lake onto the neighborhoods in the Femdale Road area. julie Streeter Dallin read a statement from the board o directors of the Wayzata Chamber of Commerce oppos ing the interchange option because it would cause traffic to bypass the Wayzata business district. Several citizens urged the Wayzata City Coundl to oppiose ’.he idea, although Mary Himes requested that the council remain neutral until ail the facts are in. "It would be criminal to change the character of that street," said Nancy Curry. O'Keefe responded to objec tions by stating, "You folks are convinced that we don't need an interchange but 1 am not con vinced of that. At this time I would not recommend that we eliminate any elements of the TMS." At the regular coundl meet ing, after OKeefe left, the coun dl voted 4-0 to draft a position paper opposing an interchange at the site. Mayor Bob Gisvold was absent. Prior to the vote, dty traffic consultant Charlene Zimmer of SRF Consulting, told the coundl, "Our feeling is that ramps at Femdale don't make much dif- fererKe (to the TMS) at all." ^ yt • April 11. 1996 Femdale Road Residents Committee Mr. C.A. Siggerud, P.E. Division Engineer Minnesots Depertment of Transportation Metropolitan Division Waters Edge 1500 West County Road B-2 Roseville, MN 55113 (.PR 15 1996 Dear Chuck: On behalf of the Ferndale Road Residents Committee and Christian Preus, Plymouth Councilman, we would like to thank you and your staff for meeting with us last Friday, April 5 1996, regarding our concerns with the proposed interchange at Highway 12 and Ferndale Road in Wayzata. This lener summarizes our community’s strong opposition to the interchange and reflects our understanding of MnDOT's position at this time. The Committee’s Position - Remove the interchange from the TSM Alternative The Committee, composed of residents from the three impacted cities of Wayzata, Plymouth, and Orono, and representing the majority of residents (approx. 450 homes) living adjacent to Ferndale Road, strongly oppose the installation of an interchange as part of TSM. We request that MnDOT discontinue any further study of this interchange and remove it from the TSM plan. To date, no tangible evidence has been provided to show that the interchange is necessary for TSM to work efficiently. • his was not disputed at our meeting. To expend additional resources attempting to establish a positive cost/benefit appears to be a waste of taxpayers money. The Community's Position - Strong opposition to the interchange On March 7th, a straw vote of 211 area residents indicated a 94% opposition to the interchange. The Cities of Wayzata and Plymouth have recently passed resolutions strongly opposing the interchange. The Wayzata Chamber of Commerce believes the interchange would be detrimental to area businesses. The Wayzata Community Church and Redeemer Lutheran Church, both of which have daily church schools and are adjacent to the proposed ramps, oppose the interchange. Both churches have proposed expansion plans. Statements from these groups .^re attached for your reference. t/t Factors For Opposition The following are key factors for the opposition: 1. The interchange does not add significant value to the goals of TSM. A traffic consultant has stated its value to be minimal to none. 2. The vast majority of traffic on Ferndaie Road is short trips to nearby churches, schools and Wayzata shopping by Ferndaie residents. Very little is through traffic. 3. This area of Ferndaie road is a fully developed residential neighborhood. Traffic from the west headed east toward the Twin Cities on County Road 6, can utilize Highway 101 or 494. 4. Increased traffic will negatively impact the environment of this residential neighborhood through increased safety hazards (higher speeds), noise, crime (open access), and reduced recreational use (Luce Line, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on Ferndaie Road). MnDOT Position Due to funding restrictions and the Met Council ’s desire to limit four lane highway construction further west, we understand the TSM wilt likely move forward after the April 22 decision by Commissioner Denn. Division Engineering is currently unwilling to remove the interchange from the TSM alternative before making its recommendation to Commissioner Denn. However, there is a possibility of quickly dropping the interchange component of TSM if the traffic studies cannot establish a positive cost/benefit relationship to the overall plan. We understand that these studies will occur within the next 3 months. You indicated that your office will inform us of the ongoing status and results of these studies. Again, we thank you for your willingness to work cooperatively with our community to achieve our mutual goals.

Wayzata, MN. 55391 Position Statement on Hwy 12 Proposal 4/3/96 The Board of Directors of the Greater Wayzata Area Chamber of Commerce has approved the following position statement: The Wayzata Chamber opposes the Hwy 12 option to build an interchange at the intersection of Hwy 12 end Ferndcle Road. From the perspective of Wayzata businesses, this option would be detrimental to the business community. The proposal would cause traffic that may otherwise use the Hwy 12/101 and Hwyl2/County Rd 15 interchanges to bypass Wayzata which would have an impact on Wayzata businesses, particularly retail.

The purpose of this lener is to state our Church Council’s opposition to the proposed entrance and exit ramps to and from present Highway 394 Two ot our church members attended an informational meeting at Redeemer Lutheran Church last week at which a representative from MnDoi discussed the alternative plans they have for upgrading and/or expanding 394 to the west. We have the sketches that were distributed at that meeting. Our opposition is for at least two reasons First, the plans indicate a taking of either Redeemer property involving their parking lot or a taking of certain Wayata Community Church propertv We cannot and do not want to give up any property as we are already cramped both for parking and for future building needs. Fortunately, as you know, we have a long term lease viith the school system to use some of their property for parking. As our church cows, and it is growing dramatically, we will be needing facilities, primarily for school rooms and~meeting rooms. We cannot give up any land that we wiU need in the future. The second reason we are opposed is the significant increase in traffic that would be generated by an interchange. Femdale is predominately residential in nature. We not only already find it difficult with the growth of our church to use the existing roads, but we have concerns regarding the increased traffic around the area's schools. We have been and intend to be good citizens as it relates to our involvement in the community The City Council has been very good to work with which we very much appreciate But we are verv concerned about the proposal(s) that are under consideration and felt it necessary to come fonh with our strong opposition to the proposals. If we can be of any service to you in this matter regarding further information, please do not hesitate to call. We appreciate you attention to this matter. Sincerelv, / Kathy Smim.

This is >f—Redeemer currently utilizes ail of its land to operate the church end school and to fulfill its obligations to its members, students sad community. Clearly, the loss of any land would be a severe hardship on Redeemer which will prevent it firom meeting these obligations and fulfilling its mission as a church and school. Redeemer certainly hopes that the City of Wayzata will help to prevent this from happening. Second, Redeemer also opposes any improvements to Femdaie Road since these improvements would cause an increase in the volume and speed of the traffic along Femdaie Road which would create a cremendous physical hazard for the children at Rnfeemer. this is an important considemhon since most of the children at Redeemer are 10 years of age or younger. Consider, for instance, the harm that would be caused should only one child be hurt due to the increased volume and speed of the traffic on Femdaie Road. I hope rh«f this letter has been helpful in outlining Redeemer's positica regarding the improvements currently being for I-394/Highway 12 and Femdaie Road. Finally, although 1 hope to be in attendance. 1 would appreciate it if this letter would be read into the minutes of the City Council meetmg on April 3, 1996.

Planning & Zoning Administrator Date:April 18. 1996 Subject: Pending Septic System Ordinance Updates On-Site Systems Manager Steve Weekman is preparing for your May 13 meeting an ordinance to update Orono's septic system ordinances. The revisions will include the following: Deleting Sections 5.37 and 5.38 regarding licensing of septic system installers and site evaluators. The .MPCA now licenses these professions, and individual cities are prohibited from also licensing them. Revising the wording of a number of definitions, section references and terminology to conform with recent changes in the State Rules Chapter 7080. Clarifying when on-site systems must be inspected, repaired, or alternate sites designated before improvements to a property are permitted, or in conjunction with CUP and variance applications. More accurately defining what constitutes a 'maintenance pumpout’ and requiring pumping contractors to report on the conformity of tanks at the time they are pumped out. For systems outside the Shoreland which are found to be non-conforming ("non- compliant") only due to the lack of 3'separation. establishes a period of 5 years for completion of repairs. The current code allows two years regardless of whether a property is in the Shoreland (Note that the State code now requires that all inspections include a 3'separation determination; although that means we must identify the non-Shoreland nonconformities, we do have the ability to define any period of time we choose for their upgrade. Five years seems like a good balance: not so immediate that we will have to add staff to deal with all the upgrades, but not so far in the future that it gets forgotten...) These code changes are part of Chapter 12: Construction Licensing, Permits and Regulation which is not part of the zoning code. Becau.se of this they can be adopted without a public hearing unless Council chooses to have one. Steve and I believe the impact of the changes is minor, and generally of benefit to our residents. An ordinance making these changes will be presented for adoption at your May 13 meeting. Please feel free to call us if you have questions. I To: From: Date: Jeanne Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & 2^ning Administrator April 17,1996 Subject: Determination of EAW/EIS Applicability - Orono Ice Arena Project Summa ry: The Orono Ice Arena project is EXEMPT from EAW/EIS regulations. Reference Documents: 1. "Minnesota Rules 1991, Chapter 4410 - Minnesota Environmental Quality Board" (including amendments through Feb. 8, 1993). 2. ""EAW Guidelines - Guidance and Information for the Preparation of Environmental Assessment Worksheets"', Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, June 1990. 3. "Guide to the Rules of the Minnesota Environmental Review Program. 1989 Edition ", Minnesota Environmental Quality Board, June 1989. Note: I am advised by Greg Downing of the EQB that these are the current documents in effect. EAW/EIS Status of Orono Ice Arena You indicated that at a recent Planning Commission meeeting a citizen had threatened to petition for an EIS on this project. You then requested that I determine whether an EAW/EIS is required under the Environmental Quality Board Rules (for an overview of the E.^W/EIS program see E,\hibit C). The Orono Ice Arena falls under the 'Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Facilities' category. It is not within the scope of the Recreational Development" category. It does fall into the "Air Pollution - Parking Facilities' category. It does not fall into any of the other listed categories. (Ref. 3). Within the Industrial/Commercial/Insiitutional Facilities' and "Air Pollution - Parking Facilities' categories: - Orono is a city of the fourth class based on a population of 7,444 (Met Council est. 4/1/94.) - The IceArena site is not within a "Water-related land use management district" as defined in 4410.0200 Subp. 92a. The City of Orono has adopted Shoreland Regulations as required bv the DNR. The Ice Arena site is not within the Shoreland District and the project involves no riparian frontage (See Exhibit A). - The Ice Arena may be considered either a Commercial or Institutional facility. - The Gross Floor Space of the Ice Arena is approximately 40,900 square feet (25rxl63 ’ measured on the plans) - Proposed new parking facility is for 87 standard spaces plus 4 HC spaces for a total of 91 vehicles. Based on the above information, the Ice Arena does not fall into either of the mandatory EAW or EIS categories. Further, the Ice Arena project as proposed is EXEMPT from the EAW/EIS process under 4410.4600. Subp. 10 (See Exhibit B). No citizen petition for an EAW/EIS can be honored. ! rjlandaiory EAW Category Mandatory EIS Category Exemption Industrial Commercial ■ Institutional Facilities /Vm Ite cf Umm rypu tmy abo fii ^anoiar oUmr sptafic iMkuaiai caugengt or tht categcrms for: air poilatioa, y^Mr appropnatiom ami jiyuJuijAncJitt. sP^amm diwrstoa, wttiamis ami protacsad <«af«rr. airtcaUioa and foresuy, muurai araaa, ktmcne piacas, fmxad Lumamfriai spang or gmanaamm/u factitnai, or commmtcatioa tabors 4410.

(PCA) 42 EXHIBIT C Overview of EAW/EIS Process The Minnesota Environmental Review Program authorized by Minn. Stat. section 1 16D.04 and 1 16D.045 was created to avoid and minimize damage to Minnesota's environmental resources caused by public and privare development. It does this by requiring that proposed actions which have or may have the potential for significant environmental effects undergo a special review process intended to disclose information so that those effects can be assessed, and ways to minimize or avoid any significant impacts can be identified. The two review procedures used by this program are the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EA.W is intended to screen projects which "may have the potential for significant environmental effects" to determ.ne if they actually do. If the answer turns out to be ’yes", then an EIS must also be prepared. The rules establish Mandatory EAW\ Mandatory EIS and Exemption categories for the various types of projects. These categories are often distinguished by thresholds or levels of construction or expansion, such that a small project of a certain type may be exempt from review but a large project of the same type may fall into a "mandatory" category. Projects which fit neither a mandatory or exemption category can be subjected to a 'Discretionary EAW” which may be initiated by action of the responsible governmental unit absent a citizen petition, or shall be initiated upon citizen petition pursuant to the Rules. Citizens can only petition for an EAW, they cannot petition for an EIS. A project that falls into an exempt' category shall not be subject to an EAW or EIS, nor to a discretionary EAW. even if the RGU or citizen petition requests it. To;Mayor Callahan City Council Members Ron Moorse. City Administrator From:Michael P. Gaffron, Asst. Planning & 2Joning Administrator Date;April 16, 1996 Subject:Builders Association Study - Urban Land Supply The news media in the last few days have been reporting on a study sponsored by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities entitled "The High Cost of Sprawl: A Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Urban Land Supply Analysis and Recommendations for Managing Grow th". Orono was one of 23 metro area urban fringe’ cities studied bv a team that included, among others. Dahleren. Shardlow & Uban and Bonestroo & Associates. The study makes a number of conclusions, among them the following: Within the 23 cities that make up the metro development fringe, there is insufficient undeveloped land within the current MUSA to accomodate projected growth over the next 25 years, and in fact it will be exhausted in 3 years. Infill development and redevelopment within the already developed urban core will not accomodate the expected growth, even with substantial local government efforts toward redevelopment. Met Council should expand the MUSA now and should adopt flexible, simplified procedures for approving MUSA expansions. 'Urban Transition Areas* , defined as urban reserve areas within the planned sewer service area, should be defined and preserved for future urbanization, i.e. for future development densities of 2 units per acre or greater. Unsewered large-lot development (similar to what we have in Orono and which is common at the current urban fringe) should be approved only in conjunction with a 'ghost plat' of future urban overlay to allow its future conversion to urban densities. The study seems to come to the same conclusion that we have experienced from Met Council staff, that Orono's 2-acre and 5-acre low density development is an inefficient use of land. It concludes that over 130,CKX) acres of land in the metro fringe between the current MUSA and the "Ultimate MUSA" (the area which can be served by existing or planned wastewater facilities) has been developed at low densities which will accomodate far fewer houses than if it had been developed at urban densities (2.5 units per acre). This has. per the report, "already added between $650 million and $1.33 billion to the cost of developing the remaining portions of the Ultimate MUSA." Attached is a copy of the Executive Summary of the report. I have the entire ISO-t* page report available if you would like to see it. A j>k..

Executive Summnry mI 1 1 j I i a 1 I I I I • 1 <4 « > > « > a I > Guiding Principles BATC believes that there are a number of guiding principles which should serve as the cornerstones of the regional growth management system: First, the region must strive to use its land resources and exi ting infirasructure efficiently, avoiding wasteful duplication wherever possible. Second, in order to provide an adequate supply of affordable housing for our growing population and to foster reinvestment in the core of the region, market forces must be given primary consideration. If there isn’t a solid market demand for the types, location and cost of housing to be built, no amount of subsidy will be able to produce a desirable regional system. Third, governmental regulations, from minimum lot and house sizes, park dedication, street standards, public facility exactions, and wetland, woodland and other environmental protection requirements, all increase the amount of required land and the costs of housing construction. The fourth guiding principle is that an adequate and diverse housing stock is a prerequisite to the sustained economic prosperity of the region. Simply stated, if housing is not available for the area’s diverse labor force, business growth, job creation, and a healthy regional economy will not be sustained. Exet ~utive Summary How Much Land Is Needed to Accommodate Projected Household Growth to the Year 2020? The Metropolitan Council expects 80% of the projected new households (264,000) will be located at the developing edges of the region. This will require 132,000 acres of land at a net density of 2 units per acre.

One of the first attempts to define an ultimate service boundary was in 1968. That boundary was based primarily on planned facilities, new service areas, and estimated populations. In subsequent years, facilities were constructed to serve this estimated increase in population. This BATC study cites the UtliMUSA in Figure 2, as the area which could be reasonably served by the existing Metropolitan Wastewater Treatment System. Areas beyond the boundary’ could be served by new regional systems - separate from the Metro System in place today. The UltiMUSA is based on the following general criteria and assumptions, □ The UltiMUSA boundary follows watershed boundaries. □ If the majority of a community is within the major watershed and regional service area, the remainder of the community will also be included in the UltiMUSA. □ Communities currently served outside major watersheds via lift stations and force mains will continue to be served. □ The capacity of the metropolitan sew age disposal system is defined by critical components or “bottlenecks”. A bottleneck is considered to be an incorrectable obstruction. Examples would include a required treatment plant expansion or a major interceptor reconstruction. The former may be a bottleneck because of regulation constraints and the latter because of economic constraints. i Executive Summary li 1 t I i % r# i n I i i i 9 > > 9 t t ♦ # f j i Barriers to Urban Development Utilizing the UldMUSA defined above, we analyzed the feasibility of extending the existing MUSA out to the UltiMUSA. This area of potential MUSA service between the existing MUSA and the UltiMUSA became the ‘study area ’ (Figure 3). First obstacles to the orderly extension of the current system into this study area were identified. Obstacles were defined as land uses that would remain undeveloped or would substantially add to the cost to extend municipal services through or around. The first obstacle identified was parks (Figure 4), ne.xt industrial and public lands “non-residential ” (Figure 5), then wetlands (Figure 6), and finally large lots (Figure 7). The composite of all of these barriers is shown on Figure 8.

Housing is a major component of the regional economy and the availability of an adequate and diverse supply of housing is a prcreqmsiu continued economic development, job creation and prosperity. 2. One of the main reasons why the region experienced the success that it did over the past 20 years was that the original MUSA included a substantial urban land supply. Communities in the path of growth were required to prepare and adopt plans for full urbanization- As a result, the majority of the growth in the region up until 1990 occurred at urban densities. 3. The existing urban land supply is inadequate to accommodate the projected growth of 330,000 households to the year 2020. The limited remaining land supply within the MUSA line has caused a significant increase in land prices which directly adds to the cost of housing. 4. Unsew'ered large lots subdivisions have already consumed 130.486 acres of land that could have been economically served by the regional wastewater treatment system and developed at urban densities. If this area had been developed at a density of 2.5 units per acre, it could have accommodated 326,215 households, an amount roughly equivalent to the Metro areas ’ projected growth to the year 2020. 5. Instead, this 130,486 acres will accommodate only 21,747 households when all of the large lots are built upon. This large lots pattern has created both physical and social barriers to the orderly and economical extension of urban services. The failure to provide and protect urban reserves Has already added between $650 million and $1.33 billion to the cost of developing the remainin g portions of the UtliMUSA. Immediate strategic action is needed to successfully accommodate the growth projected for this area. 6. The Twin Cities Metropolitan .Area is no longer limited to the original seven counties. The Metro Region extends at least into the 13 County MSA, and beyond if one considers commuter patterns. This change must be recognized to arrive at a successful growth management strategy for the coming decades. 7. Non-.MUSA related plaiming issues delay and obstruct the MUSA expansion process.

Past failures to maintain an adequate urban land supply, protect urban reserv es and properly control rural development, has contributed to explosive growth in not only the areas outside the MUSA line within the seven county area and around free-standing growth centers, but also in the counties that surround the seven counties and beyond. 9. The region must take immediate action to economically serve areas that can be physically connected to the regional wastewater treatment system. Recommendations 1. Expand MUSA Now. Based on assumptions in the Regional Growth Options Report, approximately 264,000 households have to be accommodated in the cities on the edges of the developed portion of the Metro Area in the next 25 years. The information contained in this report demonstrates that if 50% of the area within the Ultimate MUSA boundary is developed at urban densities, only approximately 176,450 households can be accommodated. This urban land shortage is growing daily. Prompt rc-nedial action is needed. The effect of the development patterns that have been allowed in some portions of the UltiMUSA area make it unlikely that it will be cost effective to extend sewers to serve them. Where it is still possible to extend sewers and facilitate development at urban densities, the Metropolitan Council should extend the MUSA line to the UltiMUSA as soon as possible. Rather th.^n attempting to parcel out incremental MUSA expansions, the Metropolitan Council should take bold action to achieve sewered densities in as much of the remaining UltiMUSA area as possible. 2. Facilitate and Support .Market Based Infill and Redevelopment in the Core. The Growth Options Report assumes that 66,000 households can be accommodated through either infill or redevelopment, within the developed portion of the region. It is impossible to know whether this number is realistic. What is clear is that the Area should work very hard to clean up polluted land, facilitate redevelopment, and work with core communities to prepare and implement market focused infill and redevelopment programs. Absent these activities, it is very unlilrely that the projected infi ll will occur. Government ’s role in this process should be to create an environment for private industry and market forces to operate effectively.

Local initiatives should be rewarded on a project specific basis, as the diversity of opportunities and resources available to local communities are better understood. 3. Adopt Flexible, Simplified MUSA Expansion Process Even if the Metropolitan Council expands to the recommended UltiMUSA boundaiy now, it is inevitable that additional urban area expansions will be necessary in the future. The Metropolitan Land Planning Act and the MUSA were intended to guide and accommodate growth in a rational and economical manner. .A new process for accomplishing MUSA expansions must be developed. This process should be fact based, understanding that an ample urban land supply is an essential component of a healthy regional economy. Non-MUS A related planning issues should be dealt with separately. 4. Delineate and Preserve Urban Transition Areas One of the key parts of the upcoming round of comprehensive plan amendments should be the identification of urban reserve areas within the planned sewer service area. Similar to the Urban Transition .Areas in the recently approved Scott County comprehensive plan, these areas must include strong measures to preserve them for future urbanization. Counties and townships with Jurisdiction over these areas should prepare and adopt plans for future urban streets and these plans must be coordinated with adjacent mumcipalities to insure the dedication of necessary future utility easements. If large lots are allowed in these areas, clustering should be strongly encouraged, but all large lot development must be approved along with a future urban overlay, or “ghost plat” to facilitate future urban development. 5. Adopt Restrictive Rural Density Standards to Protect Urban Transition Areas B ATC supports a general rural land density of 1 unit per 40 acres. If clustering is required then densities up to a raa.\imum of 4 units per 40 acres may be allowed (subject to urban overlay planing described above). Rural land that is located within urban reserve areas should be preserved for future urban development. Therefore, BATC does not support the practice of permanent open space dedication within urban growth corridors. Executive Summary f }► 6. Develop Transportation Standards and Planning Mechanisms to Allow Continued Growth In Core Areas In Spite of Existing Traffic Congestion. Several MUSA expansion requests have been delayed because of congested levels of service on adjacent roadways. This problem will also affect the redevelopment of many areas within the Twin Cities area. Such a single-minded view of transportation, which focuses only on the number of cars entering and exiting a site on a given roadway often results in limiting development opportunities, contrary to regional planning objectives. 7. Examine Local Regulatory Controls and Provide Incentives to Create Value/Cost Housing Opportunities at the local leveL 8. Develop Innovative Approaches to Financing Needed Infrastructure Expansions and Improvements to Encourage the Use of Existing Infrastructure. 9. Establish Adequate urban land supply as the 5th metropolitan system (the current systems are transportation, wastewater treatment, aviation, and parks). 10. Examples of other ideas that merit further consideration: • Congestion pricing • Developer installed infrastructure • Land use board of adj ustment • Tax policy Conclusion The findings of the BATC study confirm that there is a serious shortage of urban land to accommodate the region's future housing needs. This shortage is causing sharply rising land prices, which in turn lead to incre.ased housing cost. Currently, this increase in urban residential land cost is causing more people to look outside the MUSA for their housing needs. The result is urban sprawl on the edges of the Metro Arex This sprawl causes higher costs to the region and individuals over the long term by limiting housing choices, and increasing the cost for roads, sewers, water and other urban services. Without a new plan for growth, these costs will continue to increase unnecessarily into the billions of dollars. Executive Summary i o permits issued/fees collected MARCH 19%RBPORT NBR. BPRMTISS*!

Nothing of much significance did. The property' tax freeze favored by citizens but opposed by local government officials didn’t become law. The 1995-96 Legislative Session was over when the Senate adjourned "sine die" Wednes'^y, and legislators went their separate ways for recevery and reflection. While many will prepare for the election in November, a significar.i number are choosing different courses for t' eir lives. Others may have that choice made for them November Jth. This is to say that the 199 / Legislature w'ill clearly be a different legislature. The 1997 Legislature will face many challenges. V-’hile efforts were made to address some of them this year, the pall cast by assorted ethical violations contributed to an unwillingness by the DFL leadership to risk aggravatmg anyone with major policy changes. The citizen resistance to tax increases and cries for property tax reform/relief are reiniorcing the need for major tax and spending policy changes. People are not willing tC have an increasing percentage of their income taken by government at any level. A scientific poll of registered voters revealc'i a 79 ‘l'o level of support for the property tax freeze and 77% belie\ing local government could manage for a year without prop^ tax increases. I share that information because it conveys a strong message of need for deeding with rapidly increasing property ta,\es. I. personally, bclic^■e we need major change in how local serv'ices are funded. This issue must be tackled in the 1997 Legislative Session. The challenges ahead are great if've are to mee'. gro’ving demwds effectively with the same or fewer resources throughout the aieas ol go\'errmcr.t vervice. I look forward to attending a council meeting in the weeks ahead. Please call me (296-1282) if you prefer that I attend a particular meeting. If I don't hear from you, I'll call to arrange an appropriate time. !it€yci£d JJ% Cavnamer Hhar COMMITTEES • Educijon • Envircnmcnt Jk Narural Rc.^curcfs • Rules and Adimm^s*acion • Taw and Tax Laws SERVING: Delano.
