Mike Gassron Village of Orono Box 66 Crystal Bay, Minnesota 55323 Dear Mr. Gassron: I understand that you are in charge of the sewer project now under consideration in several parts of Orono . We have lived at 1305 Shoreline Drive (County Road 15) for 20 years . Our house was built in 1928 and, as you probably know, is situated on a rather high hill . Only two of us , Mrs . Cashin and myself have occupied this residence during all that time and the previous owners , Mr. & Mrs . Ray Bros were the only two occupants . In addition, we have, for the past 20 years , spent only six months here and the remaining six months in California. During all this time we have never, to my knowledge, had any problem with sewage or drainage or relateci problems . I would like the opportunity to meet with you in an effort � to have an exception made in our situation so that the un- necessary connection with a sewer system can be avoided . If we were situated on a small lot , we have over three acres of land, and the land was low or near the lake I ' d be more than willing to go along with this project . I will appreciate your special consideration in this important matter� Since�ely, ,� �i � % � - � .�, � ,-- , � .

If MEETING - Minnetonka significant numbers appeal, the City will reserve Bluffs, etc . Sewers the right to cancel the contract and not construct (Continued) sewers in your area. If sanitary sewers are not constructed, the City will then request residents to upgrade their present septic systems to current acceptable State standards. ' Lauren Born, 1432 Shoreline Drive: I do not live in my home year around and I do not believe municipal sewers are justified. Michael Gaffron, On-Site Systems Manager: All septic systems in the project are either not up to present code requirements or are not functioning properly. There are cases where raw sewage is discharging into the water table. Mayor Van Nest: We are here because some of you people indicated you favored municipal sewer. We do have the option of requiring all systems to be rebuilt to present code standards. The terrain, water table, and lot sizes dictate the need for sanitary sewers. Unidentified person: Are the soil types adequate for replacement of present septic systems? Mr. Gaffron: The soil types are not favorable to today ' s standards. Mary Rivers, 1442 Shoreline Drive: Do market values go up proportionately? Mayor Van Nest: The assessments would most likely exceed the increase in market values. In reviewing ways to assess a project, it appears that the fairest way to assess would be on a unit basis because parcels and units are already established. Herb Meyer, 1380 Fox Street: What are the easement procedures? Mayor Van Nest: We are hoping easements will be dedicated by the property owners. Depth of sewers determine easement width. Mrs. Gamble, 1205 Shoreline Drive : We are concerned with loss of trees and taking of land. Mayor Van Nest: We will do everything we can to minimize this problem. Mayor Van Nest closed the public information meeting at 8 : 05 P.M.

C ITY OF ORONO Page 5 MINNETONKA BLUFFS - FIEST FERNDALE - ORONO LANE - COUNTY RQAD 15 _ SANITARY SEWER PROJECT NOTICE OF MEETING The Orono City Council at their regular meeting on Monday, May 12, 1980, at 7:00 p.m, in the Orono Council Chambers, 1275 South Brown Road, plans to make a decision regarding the proposed sanitary sewer improvement of portions of County Road 15, Orono Lane, West Ferndale Road, Fox Street, Dickenson Street, Orono Orchard Road South, Barrett Avenue, Hanlon Avenue, Keene Avenue, and Russell Avenue. Any persons desiring to be heard with reference to this proposed improvement will be heard at this mee[ing, This will be the first item on the agenda. The response to the questionnaires indicates property owners are generally in favor of installation of sanitary seWers in the Minnetonka Bluffs, Orono Lane, and West Ferndale areas. In the County Road 15 (marina) area, responses indicate that pumping directly into the force main is preferable to the pressure sewer proposed in preliminary studies, and that the cost of the pressure sewer as proposed seemed excessively high, as did the gravity system. City staff concur with [his opinion and are currently working with the Metropolitan Was[e Control Commission to obtain permission to pump directly into the force main at the marina location. City staff has recommended to the council that the entire project be ordered in and final plans be prepared following the least costly alternatives. A surmnary of the queationnaire results appears below.

A� tnis time tnat interest raLe woula be 7% per �nnum (the state ceiling for municipal bonds) . The bonds would be due within three years , but pern�anent financing should be establisl-ied as soon as possible. The maximur� amount we could borrow would be that �,-nount which would not be neeaed for debt service reauirements tiithin the three vear term o� the tem�rary bond issue. At this time I estimate tl-�at we have �ror,�� $500, 000 to $550, 000 o� mon�es available for loan purposes. , iiowever, I must advise extreme caution at this time i� we consider this approach. It must be remembered that tne issue coula run onl;- tnree t-ears, and bezore the end o� the three years� period per,��anent fin�ncing �aoula have to be ob�aine�. Mr . Chenoweth stated t'r�at the market has been saturatea with temporary issues and that means there will be man�� issues requiring permanent financing at the same time as ours. If permar�ent financing were available now, we could issue special assessment improvement bonds and assess that portion of the costs b�% w'tiich the various proper-ties were benefited. 'I`his would reQuire an appraisal of t]-ie property before �nd after tne project_ �ne b�lance or the costs, if any, could be put on a general �� levy. �he City levies about $22, 000 annually =or bonded debt now. 7`'tie per capi�a le�� li.mit (based on the latest iederal census) ior bonded debt is $54. 00 generally. �•�ith a popula�ior_ of 6, 787 in 1970, tris means we could levy up Lo $366,�95 =or payment of bond principal and interest.

The object of the meeting was to encourage participation of the various agencies in lowering a culvert at the Town Line Road. The 24" culvert was installed by Medina five years ago when sanitary sewer was installed in the area. The culvert was placed on top of another 18 " culvert which has caused what used to be pasture land to be converted into a large holding pond. This has created odor problems, flooding problems and has generated complaints from residents in the area demanding the plant be shut down. (Continued) REGULAR MEETING OF THE ORONO COUNCIL, MAY 12 , 1980 Page 15 Medina, Independence, and Maple Plain are involved INFILTRATION/INFLOW* because of their town lines being in the affected area.

The results of the meeting was that Medina and Maple ' Plain will work together and lower the culvert to its original grade . Orono will furnish a water jet to assist in the project, if needed. To further complicate matters, the DNR might require a permit because of draining of a wetlands. Determining if this is a wetlands, which is defined by the ordinary high water mark maintaining a level of water over a period of time, will be debated by the DNR and MWCC.

The rearing of muskellunge, as practiced in f�1innesota, involves several distinct stages. Muskellunge eggs are taken from wild fish and hatched at two hatcheries. Upon hatching from the egg the fry have a large yolk-sac and are not yet free-swimming. I�Ihen the fry have become free swimming (called swim-up fry), they are stocked into shallow nursery ponds. These ponds have been previously flooded and where necessary fertilized to produce a plankton bloom. For the first few days in the nursery pond the plankton form the muskies diet. At this time newly hatched sucker fry are stocked to provide forage when the muskies are past the plankton stage. The muskies are fed suckers until they reach approximately 12 to 2 inches. At this time they are harvested from the nursery ponds and stocked into expansion ponds. These expansion ponds have been stocked with minnows to provide forage. The muskies are grown in these ponds until fall when the ponds are harvested. The muskellunge, now 8 to 12 inches long, are stocked iynto various lakes and streams. - � The typical procedure for rearing muskies in the expansion ponds is to haul minnows to feed the muskies on a weekly basis. This procedure is both tirne consuming and costly. Here in the Metro Region we have spent the last several years working on a slightly different technique. Instead of putting the muskies in drainable expansion ponds and hauling minnows to them, we have used natural ponds with a substantial minnow population present and relied the natural supply of minnows to feed them. As you can see this is far less expensive. To harvest the muskies we have used a winter rescue pump station similar to that used to rescue northern pike. At this point we feel ure have a viable supplementary technique for rearing muskies. flur major requirement now is that we need good nursery ponds in this region. As of this time we must obtain our small muskie fingerlings from Hinckley. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER � ;0;,, . P�ir. Di ck Benson � � April 18, 1980 Page 19 Page Two , The sewage treatment ponds in Orono appear to have the potential, at this time, for fulfilling this need. Because these ponds will no longer be needed for sewage treatment in the near future, we would like the City of Orono to consider this use of them. Please take this consideration under - advisement. - I might add here that we have been working on this project with Muskies, Inc. who have provided us aid in both manpower and equipment. Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have further questions concerning this matter. Thank you for your time and attention in this matter. Sincerely, � ��Gn� Edward L.
