Re : Alexander Holzer
2677 Casco Point Road
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
Our presentation on September 25, 1979 , consists of a newly
drawn two-page plan by Gordon R. Coffin Company; Alan P. Olson ' s
memo to you of September 20 , 1979; and this letter.
-� This letter is to state on behalf of the Holzers that they agree
to seed or sod all the bare earth areas on their property and
also agree to seed onto the Smerling property on the southerly
side where dirt has been unintentionally put onto the Smerling
property.
� The Holzers have further agreed to install extra vegatation along
the western embankment so as to further stablize the earth there
against slippage. They always did mean to do this and the offer
of the grass above and this offer regarding the vegetation has
been an ongoing one since the very beginning of this matter.
With regard to the slope from the garage up to the side of the
house, that slope area will be kept natural with grass.

City of Orono -2- September 25 , 1979
Regarding the drainage , we believe that the plan attached is
the best one that can be achieved on this property considering
the problems of the neighbors . The drainage plan does the
utmost to direct the water north and south on the Holzer
property as the water flows generally to the westward. It is
most desirable to keep the water from going down into the
Downey residence, or into the Downey patio, or into the Downey
boathouse. Similarly, it is desirable to avoid casting the
water onto the Smerling residence, the Smerling patio, or down
the Smerling embankment which had a landslide in 1978. There-
fore the best use has been made of gentle terracing to the west
to slow the flow of the water and spread it north and south,
but only on the Holzer property, as it makes its way westward.
This is a complete alteration from the first plan wllich proposed
a pipe system which directed the water directly to the west and
directly down the hill.
While the plan more or less speaks for itself, we do state that
in all respects it does contain all of the elements of Mr. Olson 's
letter to Mr. Holzer of August 29 , 1979, except those items
detailed above.
We would be happy to answer any questions.
We respectfully request that based on the plan, the memo , and
this letter, that appropriate conditional use permits and
variances be granted to the Holzers to complete this project.
Rest assured that if these approvals are forthcoming that the
Holzers will do their utmost to finish the project as soon as
they possibly can, but would appreciate understanding from the
Council with respect to the lateness in year when it comes to
the landscape work and other detail work required.
Respectfully submitted,

R�GULAR i4EETING OF mHE ORONO COUNCIL, 3EPTEt3B�R 2a, 1979 Page 5
Alan Olson, City Planner, entered into the record SUBDIVISION
the request for a preliminary subdivision for Brown Road & Sixth Ave.rl
F�olsfeld Lake Company, dated September 13, 1979 , #456
which states.: t�olsfeld Lake Company
In this application, P4r. Brooks is attempting
to remedy an error made when he transferred a
pcsrtion of a 40+ acre parcel to the ilature Conservanc��.
A lot of 2. 3 acres was created without Citv review �
or approval as required by State Statutes for
all subdivisions. The lot does not meet the
minimum lot width requirement of 200' , rec�uiring
a 10' variance. �311 of the other zoning standards
for the district have been r.let. rsr. IIrooks
explains in his letter of April 18, 1979 , the
���olsfeld Lake Company gave the land first to the
Ilature Conservancy who in turn gave it to the
State of P�innesota. At this point in time, it
is irnpossible to realign the mutual lot line.
The septic inspector has approved the septic
design. The County has approved direct access
of CSAH 6. The applicant has referred to some
arrangement with the DNR concerning access off
the DNR entry road to the east of the lot. In
either case both accesses �vould involve a permit
from the Hennepin County Highway Department.
The Planning Comriission recommends approval of
the ��olsfeld Lake Company Addition subject to
the following conditions:
1. Grant lot width variance of 10' - no setback
variance will be granted for new construction. �
2. Approve mound system per septic inspector' s
recommendation citing necessary design
rlodification�.
3. Direct access off CSAH 6 has been approved
by County. Applicant may arrange for access
of DP7R entry road. The use of either access
will involve a permit.
4. Payment of park dedication fee of $200. 00.
Council rseeting - September 25, 1979
tiayor Van Nest moved, Hurr seconded, to approve
the preliminary subdivision request of L�Tolsfeld
Lake Company, as submitted, and to waive the
park dedication fee of $200. 00. tiotion, Ayes (4) -

I2�GULAR tiEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTF.*4BER 25, 1979 Page 6
Alan Olson, City Planner, entered into the record SUBDIVISION
the subdivision request of H. R. Johnston, 925 �^Iillow Drive South
925 TVillow Drive South, dated September 13, 1979 , �457
which states: H.R. Johnston
t•Zr. Johnston is proposing a division of his property
into two pieces; one lot around the existing house
and the remainder to be used for construction
of his new home.
The property is complicated by having onlyo une
narrow portion abutting Willow Drive and by
intervening completely between Willow Drive and
a land locked parcel of land west of the Johnston
property on the end of a peninsula, shown as "X"
on the sketches.
The first proposal �vas for a three lot division
including a private driveway outlet. The existing
driveway outlet onto 4�illow Drive wasreviewed
by the City Engineer with the recorunendation
that it be rioved north for better safety and
sight lines. The private road was also to be
extended west to serve future development of
parcel "X" . Plan 2 ,
These concerns caused consideration of a complete
plat involving the whole peninsula including
parcel "X" and the pieces between the road and
this property. Lot 1 would expand westward to an
existing fence line. Lot 2 would _qrow onto
parcel "X" , as new lot would be created along
47illow Drive. See Plan 3. This is the ultimate
plan of the developer, if all property could be
obtained.
Unfortunately, the additional land acquisition
could not be negotiated as quickly as desired.
Pir. Johnston wishes to build his new home soon.
The ultimate plan is to accomplish the addition,
but of course, there is no guarantee of if or
when this can occur.
As a result, Mr. Johnston now proposes Plan 4,
with lot lines adjusted to accommodate the
ultir:iate Plan 3. The new house site has about
1 Z acres (of 7+ total on Lot 2) allowing for
the existing driveway would be used �vith an
easer.ient to Lot 1. Lot 1 would also be land-
locked without the drivewav outlot.
(Continued)
REGULAR rSEETING OI' THE ORONO COUNCIL, SEPTEr4BER 25, 1979 Page 7
Staff has several concerns: SUBDIVISION
925 ��,lillow Drive South
l. The existing driveway location is not adequate (Continued)
and should be relocated, especially if riore than
2 units are to use it.
2. Parcel "X" is a legal lot, ��ith an existing
easement. If requested, a building permit
would have to be issued. Therefore, three
units would be using the existing drive.
3. Even though the ultimate division is hoped for,
there is no guarantee that it will occur.
This proposal must stand on its o��n merits
with all normal safeguards for access, wetlands
and neighboring property protection.
4. The new house site on Lot 2 , without future
land from parcel "X" is effectivel�� only 1-1/2
acres even though the entire piece is 7+ acres.
P�_anning Cormmission recomrmended anproval of Plan 4
�vith norr►al final nlatting requirerients . ^_'his
would include the park fee, a private easement
f_or Lot 1 and no change in parcel "1�' s" easertent.
This would include a small variance for lot �aidth
at the proposed building site.
Staff has spent a long time reviewing the man��
proposals and PRr. Johnston' s objective of getting
an ultir.►ate subdivision design while as�urinc�
c�uick apnroval so he can start construction of
his house. With Mr. Johnston' s concurrence, �•�e
recomr.tend approval of Plan 5, a cor.►bination of
the ultimate design includin_q all of the Planning
Cor.unission' s recomr.iended features.
1. The �roposed house site on Lot 2 is fixed and
has approved septic designs. There is no
practical reason to include riore area to
neet density as the entire proposal does
average over two acres . In addition, the
desired westward expansion is still possible
in the future.
2. The lot line between Lots 1 and 2 is a practical
location along an existing fence line and
allows rec�uir_ed additional drainfield area on
Lot l. This is better than the location shown
on Plan 1 and accounts for the narrowness of
Lot 2.
(Continued)

3. Lot 3 was originallv proposed and also has SUBDI�IISION
approved se�tic designs. 925 T�]illow Drive South
(Continued)
4. Outlot B would provide for f_uture combination
into a buildable site along [4illow Drive.
5. Outlot A would allow ultimate drive��av location
to serve all lots including Parcel "X" , �aith
good access onto �•7illow Drive.
6. The existinc� driveway could be used until a
third house was built, either on Lot 3 or
Parcel "X" .
Staff recomr.►end prelininary plat approval as f_ollows:
1. Final record plat for three lots with wetlands
outlots, road outlot, and Outlot B per nlan 5.
2. Flowage and Conservation Easements over �aetlands
outlots.
3. Allow use of existing driveway until construction
of a third unit, either on Lot 3 or Parcel "X" .
4 . Payment of normal development and park fees.
5. Special consideration to allo�a construction
start, but no Certificate of Occupanc__y before
final plat approval.
Council rieeting - September 25, 1979
Pir. Jim Johnston discussed proposal.
�ouncilmer.iber r'Iassengale: Our concerns are creating

for H. R. ,7ohnston, 925 ��illow Drive South, to allow
applicant to proceed with subdivision recoqnizing
Plan 5 as possible future subdivision, su biect to

a revised building plan review for the First 2465 Shadywood Road
National Bank of Pdavarre, 2465 Shadlnaood Road, �491
c3ated September 19 , 1979 , which states: First rdational Bank
We have no�a received a prelir.►inary redesign of
the hank building airted at correcting your concerns
of August 14 , 1979. The plan is very sl�etchy and
is somewhat explained by P�r. Pope's letter of_
September 17, 1979. Apparently, more detailed
drawings are to be available at the meeting.
The principal changes include building relocation
(closer to 19) and redesign, with a result beinc�
that all parking and developr.lent is now accorimodated
within the 250' deep cor.unercial zone.
The building size increased fror_1 the original
10, 000 sq. ft. to 11, 664 sq. ft. net, 14 ,580 scx.
ft. gross, larger than the previous plan including
the alternate. Parking spaces decreased fror.i
62 to 59 (? only 52 shown on plan) . At 11,664 sq_.
ft. , 58 space�s are required. (Continued)

Note that no rear setback is provided between BUILDING PLAN ?2EVIELa
the parking and the zoning boundary and some 2465 Shadywood Road
landscaping of the parking lot has been eliminated. (Continued)
A future connection is shown for internal access
to neighboring pr�perties, but cooperation of_
the neighbors at this tir,ie appears doubtful.
All drainage is to be directed east to County
Road 19. Site hardcover as drawn is approximate.
At this time, assuming more complete dra�aings
arrive, the Council could either refer ther.m back
to the Planning Comr.iission to review the chanc�es,
or could approve the building and site desic�n
as presented. �ae have checked all previous
comments and concerns and this proposal does
conform in all respects.
Approval would be for design and site improvement

Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
SOUTHWEST ARER STUDY
ANALYSIS OF COMMUNITY FLOWS
FACT SHEET
The i�etropolitan Y7aste Control Commission (MV;CC) has under-
taken a series of separate but coordinated studies to develop
a comprehensive wastewater management plan for municipal water
pollution control. One of these studies addresses the South-
west Area which consists of P�I�r'CC Service Areas 4 and 5 encom-
passing 27 communities. The results of the study for the
Southwest Area will be presented as a "Facilities Plan" ,
prepared in accordance with U. S. EPA regulations and guidelines
as the first step toward implementing actions required for
water pollution control.
Preparation of the Facilities Plan begins with inventory and
analysis of the existing MWCC facilities. Based on projected
wastewater flows for the 20 year planning period, each facility
is evaluated to identify needed improvements. For each problem
identified, alternative actions are developed and evaluated to
enable selection of the most cost-effective action. The
Facilities Plan will present a description of the problems and
the rationale followed to select courses of action.
Assessment of present conditions is required to evaluate
immediate needs as well as to establish a basis for projecting
future conditions_ One task of this assessr,ient that has been
completed is the analysis of the wastewater f low,s from each
community in the study area. Based on reported water use data
and metered wastewater flow data, the components of eacn communi-
ties ' wastewater were estimated. Of particular interest is the
Page 17.
amount of clear water component (infiltration and inflow) that
enters a community' s sewer system. The infiltration and inflow
consist of unpolluted water which wastewater facilities must
convey and treat with the sewage. The additional cost of
treating infiltration and/or inflow is high enough in some
cases tfiat it is cheaper to reduce the amount of infiltration
and/or inflow entering the sewers. Other pertinent components
. are the residential, industrial, commercial, and institutional
� contributions of sewage.
P�astewater flows from 27 communities were analyzed for the
Southwest Study Area. Characterization of the infiltration/
inflow (I/I) component of these flows indicated that further
analysis of I/I was warranted for 15 communities. (For the
other 12 communities the available data indicated the I/I is
not excessive and further analysis was not warranted. ) Sub-
sequent analyses for these 15 communities are part of the
preparation of the "Facilities Plan" and are to be presented
in the final report.
Results of the analysis of community flows were used to
estimate future wastewater flows from projected population and
employment increases. The interim report which presents a
discussion of each corununity' s wastewater flows is on file
with the MWCC.

' WASTEWATER PROJECTIONS
FACT SHEET
The Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) has under-
taken a series of separate but coordinated studies to develop
a comprehensive wastewater management plan for municipal water
pollution control. One of these studies addresses the Southwes,t
Area which consists of MWCC Service Areas 4 and 5 encompassing
27 communities. The results of the study for the Southwest
Area will be presented as a "Facilities Plan" , prepared in
accordance with U. S. EPA regulations and guidelines as the
first step toward implementing actions required for water pol-
lution control.
Preparation of the Facilities Plan involves inventory and
analysis of the existing Mj�CC facilities. Based on projected
wastewater flows for the 20 year planning period,. each facility
is evaluated to identify needed improvements. For each problem
identified, alternative actions are developed and evaluated to
enable selection of the most cost-effective action. The Faci-
lities Plan will present a description of the problems and the
rationale followed to select courses of action.
Projection of future wastewater flows and strength is re-
quired to determine when existing facilities will be overloaded
and to estimate the flow for which new facilities should be de-
signed. Future flows from each community were projected for
the Southwest Study Area. Because the flow from several communi-
ties enters the 2•iWCC interceptor system at more than one location,
the present and projected flows were also estimated for portions
of many of the 27 communities.
� Page 19
The projected flows were estimated by adding an incremental
flow to the existing base flow. The incremental flow was es-
timated by summing projected increases in residential , commercial,
industrial, and institutional conponents of the flow. Residen-
tial per capita flow rates were projected on the basis of
results reported in an interim report, "Analysis of Community
Flows" . Similarly, future commercial per employee flow rates
were estimated. The future incremental flows were estimated
based on population and employment forecasts by the D�etropolitan
Council.
Residential per capita flows in the study area range from �
45 to 135 gallons per capita per day (gpcd) . Most communities
are estimated to generate 65 gpcd of wastewater by 1990. Future
infiltration rates are estimated to generate about 10 gpcd of
clear water from residential growth.
Results of the wastewater projections are on file with the
r�cacc.

Dear Mr. Benson:
This letter is in response to your letter of August 31 , 1979 transmitting
a copy of the preliminary engineering report for the Medina-Morningside
area sanitary sewer and a copy of a draft agreement between the Cities
of Orono and Medina for the joint use of the Orono sanitary sewer system
and a cost sharing for the construction of a by-pass sewer within the
City of Long Lake.
The Corr�nission realizes that the interim comprehensive sewer plan for
Orono has been at our office for some time, but without the information
on intercommunity flows as previously requested, the Commission is unable
to complete its review. In contacting the City of Medina it has been
indicated that the draft agreement between the Cities of Orono and Medina,
that you submitted, has not been formally agreed upon at this time. Until
this issue has been resolved, the Commission is unable to complete its
review of your interim CSP. In reviewing the draft agreement, it has
been found that the agreement does not include the City of Long Lake or
address the issue of intercorrmunity service to the Hackberry Hills area.
It is necessary that the original agreement, between the Cities of Long
Lake and Orono that call for the disconnection of the Hackberry Hills
area from the Long Lake system with the completion of the Orono-Long Lake
Interceptor, be updated to accommodate the continued use of the Long Lake
system. This agreement is also needed before the Corr�nission can complete
its review of your interim CSP.
If you have any questions in this regard, please call.
Very truly yours,

Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323
Dear Mr. Benson:
Thank you for your efforts in arranging the "inforraation meeting"
last evening, which was interesting and of value to me, as a resi-
dent of Orono .
This is ny first complaint in nearly 20 years and briefly repeatin
myself , I am quite concerned with the apparent lack of interest by
our City in the "work" being done to ins�all the sewer lines , es-
pecially along Shoreline Drive where our home is located.
The excavation or trenching work began in early May causing our
main entrance an d driveway, along with culvert under our driveway
entrance to be dug up. It has remained in that condition ever
since. Our mail box was removed so that we have had to go to the
post office in Wayzata to receive our mail. The postal carrier
will not drive in mud and the mail box must be exactly 40 inches
above ground level . Our entrance is a continuing sea of mud sinc�
the culvert was removed and it may never be replaced. The bank
along our driveway was dug into so far as to destroy a number of
trees . We were notified to remove two very large trees at my ex-
pense, that were da�aged by this project. The unsightly piles of
debris left along our road and partial dumping of unneeded fill
into the nearby lowlands has disfigured this area severely and if
I as a resident were to dump one yard of fill in this wetland are
I'd be fined for doing so, yet someone permits all this to go on.
As you can gather, I am very annoyed by all this and I repeat no
one there seems to care. I am on the verge of deciding to commen
a class action suit in order to determine exactly who is responsi
fo� this boondoggle operation, who permits whoever it is to ob°dc
our City codes and what can be done to correct it, get the j
and get these clowns out of there. Someone is going to pay me tc
Te�o my driveway when this job is done as it is a muddy mess and
has been all su�er. Thanks.. for listening ,

Dear Dick: j
�
Our patience and persistenoe concerning the Arcola Bridge reconstruction,
planned for 1980, appear to have been rewarded. Art J. Lee, Associate
Cotmty Ac�ninistrator and chief hig�aay engineer has verbally assured me
that at least one lane of traffic will be maintained.
Co�mty staff has been properly con�erned about safety, engineering, and
expense/tax aspects of this needed reconstruction and had persuac7ed ire of
the validity of their positi�. Efforts and time e�ended by officials
from the cities of Or�no and Minnetr�nka Beach, especially those of Mayors
Van Nest and Jahnson, Cotmcilman Bearg, and yourself, were esse.ntial and
persuasive. °Zt2ose of us close to this project are well aware of the
arg�rents, oonsiderations, and trade�ffs inwlved in this decision. I
hape events will justify our c�clusions.
Hennepin Cotmty will att�t to co�lete reoonstniction during the 1980
�nstructicai seasan. Zb cb so, extended wr�rk hours probably will be re-
quired and we sho�ald anticipate ooarQlaints about noise. Further, no �tt�r
how well we plan, one lane of traffic will cause c3elays and frustrati�s for
our constituents, and aonstruction requirerrents probably will.occasion tAtal
closure for a few days at a time (i.e. tr� awid vibratioa�s d�ing concrete
pouring setting �) . These matters and others will be detailed to you by our
pmfessional �staff in ensuing w�eks.
If you have further questions, kindly let me ]Qx7w.
