REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: July 17, 2001 Item No.: 9 Department Approval: Administrator Approval: Agenda Section: Zoning 1�1ame: Michael P.Gaffron Titie: Planning Director Item Description: John Fleischhaker, 2845 Little Orchard Way Lakeshore Vegetation Restoration - Plan Approval List of Exhibits A-Vegetation Restoration Plan B - Buckthorn Informational Materials C - Preservation Easement Excerpts D - Photos of site Existing Easement Two of the three lakeshore lots on the plat of Little Orchard are subject to a"Tree, Woodland and Vegetation Preservation Easement" �r-hich limits the removal or trimming of vegetation within certain wooded areas near the shoreline. These limitations were established as part of the original plat in 1998, intended to preserve the natural wooded view of the bluff and the shore as seen from the lake. The property at 2845 Little Orchazd Way is subject to the Preservation Easement. Easement Violation -Background Permits for construction of a new home for Roger Wikner at 2845 Little Orchard Way were issued to Kyle Hunt&Partners in June 1999. Early into the construction process,Wikner discharged Hunt and a new permit was issued in December, 1999 to Skarphol Construction to finish the home.During the fall/winter of 1999/2000, Wikner apparently asked Skarphol to do some clearing of buckthorn and other understory vegetation along the slope between the house and the lake,including areas that were protected by easement, but leaving many of the larger overstory trees in place. In the early spring of 2001, Wikner sold the residence (still under construction) to John Fleischhaker. In May 2001 Fleischhaker applied to the MCWD for a permit to rip-rap the shoreline. During her site inspection for that permit, Barb Moeller of MCWD noted the vegetation clearing and advised the City of a potential violation,since she was awaze of Orono's tree removal regulations. On May 4, City staff visited the site and concluded that there technically was a violation of the easement s s 2845 Little Orchard July 17, 2001 Page 2 conditions, specifically the Covenants, Section 10(B) including: - complete removal of understory in center 1/3 of lot - removal of understory beyond the minimum extent necessary to gain a partially obstructed view of the lake - natural vegetative groundcover has been removed in a few azeas, causing high erosion potential Construction of a stone stairway to the shore was also underway without the necessary permit. Erosion control measures were required immediately,and the new owner was advised to obtain the services of a surveyor and a landscape professional to verify the easement locations,and to establish an appropriate restoration plan. In a number of ineetings with Mr. Fleischhaker since he was advised his property was in violation of the easement, it has became clear that he is very willing to complete an understory restoration program to remedy the violations caused by his predecessor. Fleischhaker has been very cooperative, responsive to our concerns and has made every effort to comply with City requirements. Erosion control measure are currently in place. Buckthorn Removal As we have worked through the various restoration issues, removal of Buckthorn has been the most vexing problem. Buckthorn is a woody plant that grows up to 20' in height, and has been declared as a"restricted noxious weed"by the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.The declaration means that sale, transportation or movement of this non-native, invasive plant is prohibited statewide. While there is no specific state requirement that buckthorn be removed, Orono has been trying to eradicate it from City parklands, and Orono's private property maintenance ordinances do require the removal of"noxious weeds" (Section 9.55, Subd. 1). Eradication of smaller buckthorn plants (stems up to 3/8" diameter) can be accomplished by uprooting them. Anything larger will require cutting the buckthorn plant at the base, then applying herbicide to the stump. At the Little Orchard site,and on adjoining properties,the buckthorn has reached a height of 15'-20' and has trunks as large as 4-6"in diameter.At the time the Little Orchard preservation easement was established,staff did not realize that buckthorn was so well established or pervasive on the protected slopes, and at that time it had not yet been declared as a noxious weed by the MDA. Based on the remaining stumps and comparing with the adjacent wooded shore area that wasn't cut,we estimate that between 1/2 and 2/3 of the understory removed from the Fleischhaker site was buckthorn. Where it has become the dominant understory species, complete removal of buckthorn leaves the shoreline relatively bare except for overstory trees. This suggests that either an aggressive vegetation � � 2845 Little Orchard July 17, 2001 Page 3 replacement plan is necessary to retain a naturally vegetated shore, or the buckthorn must be removed gradually so its removal doesn't leave bare openings. I've discussed this program with Hennepin Pazks staff who are following a similar program at nearby Noerenberg Pazk,and they have gradually made some progress at buckthorn elimination. Proposed Restoration Plan The proposed restoration plan by Everette Parks of Talberg Lawn and Landscape is attached as Exhibit A. The intent of the plan is to take advantage of and encourage the natural regrowth that is already occurring, as well as supplement it with low ground covers for slope stability and medium height plants to help re-establish some density of vegetation. The first 15' adjacent to the shoreline is proposed to be allowed to naturally revegetate,with the new plantings on the sloped areas 15'-75'+ from the shoreline. In the area of the shoreline that has not had understory removal,buckthorn is still the dominant understory plant and needs to be removed. A gradual removal/replacement program should be followed to minimize the visual impact; it could take as much as 5 years to complete the removal under this scenario. Plantings proposed include a small variety of species, most of which appear on the DNR list of plants common to a maple-basswood forest in Minnesota, including: Common Name Mature Hei�ht Red-twig Dogwood 3' - 15' Low Bush Honeysuckle 2' - 4' "Gro-Low" Sumac 2' Wild Geranium 1' Variegated Hosta 1' Virginia Creeper Climbing vine The submitted plan does not show the locations of all existing mature trees; staff has added to the plan the locations and trunk sizes of the approximately 35-40 trees remaining in the azea of understory removal. Perhaps a half dozen of these trees are in poor condition and will ultimately need to be removed or expertly trimmed to save them. Additionally, the natural regrowth that has occurred this spring and summer suggests that there may be some merit in the suggestion of the City's consulting landscape planner, Wally Case, who felt that the species that want to thrive on these slopes will grow back quickly where the ground has not been disturbed. This appears to be happening,and the additional plantings to supplement the natural growth should provide significant low understory in a few seasons. The plan notes indicate that shrub plantings will be in rock or wood chip lined mulch beds underlaid with weed barrier. In general, our goal would be to avoid weed barrier fabric or plastic within 75' . R 2845 Little Orchard July 17, 2001 Page 4 of the lake except where absolutely necessary to stabilize slopes; and where planting areas need to be mulched,wood chips rather than rock will provide a more natural look. The City's goal is to have the site restored to a natural looking shoreline landscape, not for it to become a manicured garden or lawn. Additional Topics for Discussion In November 1998 Council approved a slight revision to the easement which relocated the boundary of the"Protected Area"and granted the ability to have manicured lawn within the northeaster1y10' of the Protected Area. The proposed restoration plan indicates a relatively small portion of lawn, perhaps 40-50' in length, will be within the northeasterly 15' of the Protected Area, i.e. an encroachment of perhaps 5' x 50' or 250 s.f. This lawn area is relatively flat and will be well screened from lake view by the proposed shrubs bordering the lawn, and is still about 70' from the shoreline. To balance this, additional area along the westerly lot line is being kept in natural groundcovers and not manicured. Staff has no problem with this trade-off. The uniform 3:1 slope just west of the house near the pool is perhaps 20'x 70' in length. While the plan shows the potential for two interim retaining walls in this area, the owner believes this slope can be maintained in natural ground cover (primarily bush honeysuckle) without the need for the walls.Those walls would be within the bluff setback and would be no more than 1'-2'in height each, if they aze constructed. In the event the owner decides to add these walls,staff has no problem with them provided that they are screened with plantings. The existing well house located underground about 30' from the shoreline has been discussed at length. It was not required to be removed when the property was subdivided;however, its removal would require extensive regrading and the owner has concluded that he will leave it in place. The proposed stairway to the lake is allowed under the terms of the easement and by Orono code. The design at a slight angle will allow it to be screened from lake view, and it is following the existing contours. Staff has no problem with this stairway as shown on the plan. A prior proposal for a second stairway was dropped based on staff advising the applicant that only one stairway could be allowed under the ordinances. 2845 Little Orchard July 17, 2001 Page 5 Staff Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the restoration plan subject to the following: 1. Approval of the proposed plant species and locations as presented. 2. Avoid use of weed barrier fabric/plastic except where needed to stabilize the slope for planting, since the City considers fabric/plastic as hardcover. 3. Where mulch beds are needed, use wood chips rather than rock to maintain a more natural look. 4. Approval of the gradual removal of buckthorn along the remaining shoreline areas, with concurrent replacement plantings to avoid the appearance of clear-cutting. 5. Any non-buckthorn tree or understory removals must be approved by City s*aff. There are a small number of existing trees on the site which should be removed or trimmed, and this activity is acceptable subject to staff review and approval for each individual tree. 6. Proposed lawn areas approved as shown on the plan. 7. Proposed stairway approved as shown on the plan. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to approve the lakeshore understory vegetation restoration plan as presented by John Fleischhaker for the property at 2845 Little Orchard Road,subject to the conditions contained in the staff recommendation. � T F ND NO c- � _� r � ��.

Dwarf Alder, R. alnifolia, is native from northern Minnesota to the Twin Cities. It is small, about four feet by four feet and is found in tamarack swamps and wet meadows. It is not invasive in its natural range. . Glossy Buckthorn, R. frangula, is from Europe. It grows to about 20 feet, has alternate buds, red fruit that turns dark at maturity and is irregular in shape. It aggressively invades wetlands and moist woodlands. Columnar forms in the nursery trade are narrow and upright, growing to 12 feet high. . Common or European buckthorn, R. cathartica, is extremely aggressive on lowland and upland sites. It grows to 20 feet with a spreading irregular crown. The bark is rough gray/brown. The fruit is glossy black and the leaves are finely toothed, pointed and a glossy, dark green. Diagnostic characteristics include prolific berry clusters and leaves that stay dark green well into winter. Common buckthorn is widely distributed in Minnesota and is very common in the understory of urban and rural woodlots. CONTROL Buckthorn control is labor intensive. Strategies include one or more of the following: . Mechanical removal where plants are sparse is the most expedient and environmentally friendly method. Dig, pull or chop the plants out of the ground. Buckthorn pulls out most easily up to 3/8 inch caliper or diameter. Buckthorn doesn't re-sprout from underground roots. . Crown removal without chemical treatment eliminates fruit, however, stumps re- sprout. Re-sprouting stumps can be treated with foliar sprays or with fire for several growing seasons. . Fire is most effective against seedlings and small saplings. Be aware of local and state fire codes and local permits and ordinances. CHEMICAL CONTROL . Cut stumps can be chemically treated. Cut the buckthorn trunk as low to the ground as possible before treating. Several products, including Tordon RTU, Garlon and Roundup can be purchased without a special license. ALWAYS READ THE LABEL AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS when applying any chemical. . Basal bark treatment allows application of chemical to the lower bark of the tree without cutting the top. Garlon 4 is the preferred herbicide for basal bark treatment.

Inner bark yellow. Twigs often tipped with a �� spine. Small black fruits up to 1/4" (0.6cm) diameter containing 3-4 seeds. Leaves broadly elliptic, rounded to pointed at the tip, and toothed. Upper and lower leaf surfaces smooth. Upper leaf surface dark glossy green. Leaves stay green late � into fall, after all other leaves have fallen. �;,' ��::: �, Concern: R. cathartica was introduced to North America as an ornamental shrub. It is native to Eurasia. The fruit causes a severe laxative effect, quickly distributing the seeds through birds. Common buckthorn invades mainly woodlands and savannas, although it may also be found in prairies an open ields. Once estab is e uckthorn crowds or shades out native shrubs and herbs, often completely obliterating them. European buckthorn control is also of interest to small grain producers: the shrub is an alternate host of the crown rust of oats. MN Interagency Exotic Species Task Force 1991 future threat ranking of SEVERE, current threat SEVERE. Controls: Late March to Earl�• May: Prescribed fire is one method proposed for controlling buckthorn in natural areas. In the upper Midwest conduct burns as soon as leaf litter is dry; resprouts will be less ��igorous due to low carbohydrate levels. Burning every year or every other year in established stands may be required for 5-6 years or more. Unfortunately buckthorn seedings often grow in low litter areas, unsuitable for prescribed fire more often than once every 3-4 ��ears. In dense stands seedlings and saplings may be cut and dropped on site, creating fuel for future fires. Buckthorn seedlings appeaz to be very vulnerable to fire, perhaps due to their poorly established root structure. Fire will top kill a mature plant, but resprouting does occur. Uprooting of smaller seedlings with a weed wrench is another non- chemical control. May to October: Excellent results are reported using lpart Garlon 3A(44.4%triclopyr) in 1 part water with dye on cut stumps. MN DNR Region V State Parks found a 1:4 dilution of the above also effecti�-e. Product label suggests avoiding the spring sap flow. Gazlon 3A undiluted applied to cut stumps between first budding in May, through summer, to hard freeze in fall was 95% effective in preventing resprouting (Boudreau and Willson). Hennepin Co. MN parks report 1:1 Garlon 3A:water with antifreeze solution controls buckthorn during winter application. http://www.dnr.state.mn.us,'tish_and_wildlife/exotics/buck.html 5/14/O 1 ivlinnesota DNR- The Truth About Exotic Species:European(Common) Buckthorn Page 2 of 2 . Mid-August to October: NIN DNR Region V State Parks Resource Management has been using a fall cut with immediate stump application of a 1 part Roundup (41% glyphosate) with 5 parts water solution using a hand sprayer. Initial checks indicate a>85%control overall. Kline, 1983 in Wisconsin, used a 1:1 water:Roundup solution on cut stumps in August/September with 100%control. Winter: 1 part Gazlon 4 (61.6%triclopyr)with 4 parts of an oil, such as Penevator, and dye on cut stumps was reported as very effective by Region V State Parks staff. Frill application is also effective. Experiments at the University of Wisconsin Arboretum report good results using a 12.5%active ingredient solution on cut stumps, or a 6%active ingredient solution basal bark treatment to stems<3 inches dbh. Pathfinder, a ready to use formula with 13.6% triclopyr also works.

Woodland and Veeetation Preservation Easeinent(i.e. "�he Easement")granted within the covenants (Document#6939561) for Little Orchard. The amendment approved includes: 1. Revision of the description of the uphill boundary of the Protected Area per the"Line B" Alternate as presented to Council and as depicted in the attached sketch. 2. Revision of the language of Section 10 by adding Subsection(I)to read as follows: "(I). With respect to those portions of the Land contained within Lot 5 only, no manicured lawn shall be allowed except�vithin the northeasterly 10'of the 'Protected Area'." The Builder Proposed version of"top of bluff' and "30' bluff setback line" have been accepted for ' defining the required bluff setback line in the small area that is outside the Easement but still subject to the 30'bluff�setback. This setback azea is depicted as the'hashed' area on the attached drawing, and is approximately 10' deep and 30' in length. - Per the Shoreland Ordinance, zonin;code section 10.56, Subd. 16(C)2,no structures may be placed w-ithin 30' of the top of bluff. This means that no structures may be placed in the hashed area. � The hashed area falls outside the bluff impact zone as defined by code,hence the entire hashed area ' can be graded.
