Background: • The development agreement for Wild Bush Acres required the
Developer to submit a financial guarantee in the form of a letter of
credit for the public improvements (streets, drainage, etc.)in the total
amount of$350,000.00.
• The Council approved a$175,290.87 reduction in January of 2006.
A second reduction in the amount of$76,288.73 was approved on
November 21, 2006.
• The developer has requested a further reduction of$39,240.40 to a

Re: Acceptance of Roadways and reduction in Letter of Credit for One Year Warranty Period
Dear Mrs. Hurlburt:
We have completed the final lift of Blacktop and Limestone Shouldering on August 8, 2007.
We will bring a request on August 8, 2008, that the Town of New Scandia accept the roads,
which is the end of the One Year Warranty Period.
We request a reduction in the Letter of Credit to $60,000.00 for the Warranty Period.
If this reduction is approved by the Town Board I will provide a New Letter of Credit for that
amount.
Please call me with any information regarding this Request and the date of the Town Board
Meeting..
Sincerely,
Mark A. Woolston
President

City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209th St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Discuss issues with the office/community center telephone system,
and give direction to staff regarding next steps.
Deadline/ Timeline: N/A
Background: • The telephone system in the Community Center was installed
when the building was built over 20 years ago. I have come to the
conclusion that the system needs replacement soon for the
following reasons:
➢ The equipment (an AT&T"Merlin" system with two incoming
lines and five telephone stations) is obsolete and no longer
supported or has parts (including telephones) available. It is
not possible to purchase off-the-shelf phones to replace worn-
out equipment because they are proprietary to the system.
➢ The current system is not expandable beyond two lines. As
new lines have been needed (the fax machine, a line for the
building inspector) new dedicated lines have been required.
There are currently four lines into the building,but only two
are usable for voice calls from the office and the kitchen. It is
not possible to transfer calls between the main phone line and
the building official's line. Callers must be directed to hang up
and dial a different number.
➢ The voice mail system is rudimentary at best. We have
Frontier's voice mail on the main line, with boxes set up for
individuals. However, there is no notification of messages
waiting, nor any way to tell which mailbox they are in without
dialing into the Frontier system multiple times. There is no
way to transfer a caller to voice-mail if they want to leave a
message.
➢ Modern phone features (such as caller ID, transferring calls to
outside lines or cell phones) are not available to us with the
current system.
➢ Security and privacy are compromised with the current system
because the kitchen phone (which has access to both office
voice lines) cannot be restricted to only local calls, and
Page 1 of 3
09/27/07
someone in the kitchen can listen to or interrupt calls.
• My first step in investigating possible solutions was to contact
Frontier Communication's small business customer service
department. I asked them for possible no- or low-cost solutions
using the equipment we have, and also for recommendations on
how we might be able to improve and possibly save some money
on our phone services (we have discussed eliminating the line to
the warming house, for example.) They submitted a quote for a
new Nortel phone system that would retain the current outside
lines.
• I also sought consultations and quotes from other providers of
small business telephone systems, and received quotes from
several companies representing equipment by a number of
different manufacturers (such as Nortel, ESI, Toshiba and Avaya.)
I also received a quote from a company that sells VOIP (voice
over internet protocol)phone systems, which do not rely on local
phone lines at all,but route phone calls over the internet.
• The systems all offer a wide variety of features and equipment,
expansion capabilities and costs. The levels of service and
responsiveness of each company, and the ease of use of the
various systems, also appear to vary significantly, making apples-
to-apples comparisons difficult.
• Initial cost & installation quotes ranged from $1,260 to $4,493.
Some systems would have additional monthly costs and others
would not. Some companies offer lease or lease/purchase options.
• One of the companies presented a plan to reduce our costs for
outside phone lines by connecting the warming house to the
community center phone lines and eliminating one of our outside
lines, while still increasing the capacity for voice calls.
• Based on my investigation so far, I would eliminate the VOIP
system from further consideration. This is a relatively inexpensive
option to start (primarily just the cost for telephones)but has a
continuing monthly subscription fee. In the future, it is likely a lot
of phone traffic will use the internet; however, at our location we
may not have sufficient bandwidth or reliability in our internet
connection to go with an exclusively internet-based phone system
at this time. Local service may also be limited. Wiring upgrades
not required with a digital system may also be necessary, and the
phones could not be used on a digital system if the VOIP did not
work out. Some of the other systems supply hybrid equipment
that allows for that option in the future, which may be a better way
for us to go.
• Purchase of a new phone system is not in the 2007 budget, nor was
it proposed in the 2008 budget. The problems with the current
system did not reach a "critical" level until August, when we
realized the difficulties it was causing in communications with and
Page 2 of 3
09/27/07
for the Building Official.
• It is possible that a new phone system would not be a major
change to the budget or require a significant capital expenditure.
Lease plans are available with a monthly cost approximating the
savings that could be realized by eliminating just one of the
outside lines. A leases may also have the advantage of allowing us
to change systems sooner if we are dissatisfied. (Not all
companies offer leases for a system as small as what we are
looking for, however.)
Recommendation: After reviewing this information, I request that the Council give some
direction regarding how staff should proceed. Council members could
be involved in evaluating the different options or participating in any
demonstrations if you wish. Or, you could delegate this to staff based
on some parameters (total expenditure, funding source.) Quotes
received are generally good for 30 days so once a decision is made on
the general direction we should proceed fairly quickly.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST:
The Applicant has submitted an application for a Major Subdivision located at 11980 Lakamaga Trail. The
proposed subdivision is unique in that it qualifies as a minor subdivision (3 or fewer lots)but a preliminary
plat has been prepared rather than a metes and bounds survey. The property consists of approximately 13.9
acres with lakeshore frontage on Big Marine Lake. The subdivision would create three lots, one of which
already has a house on it. The Camp Lakamaga Girl Scout Camp shares the subject property's southeasterly
boundary.

Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 2 September 25, 2007
Scandia, Minnesota
EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST:
Lot Size
Big Marine Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake. The Scandia Development Code requires
a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres for the first tier of lots within the Shoreland District. The proposed lots are
5.31 acres, 3.77 acres and 4.45 acres in size. The remaining .39 acres is part of Lakamaga Trail.
Lot Width and Frontage
The minimum lot width for lots on a Recreational Development Lake is 150 feet. The Shoreland Ordinance
requires the minimum lot width of 150 feet at the shoreline. The proposed lots meet these minimum
requirements. However, Lots 2 and 3 have the appearance of flag lots. The Subdivision Ordinance, Chapter
3, Section 10.7 (1), specifies that lot lines must be substantially at right angles to straight streets or radial to
curved streets. The lot configuration and proposed shared driveway for Lots 2 and 3 are a response to
topographic conditions, and provide access to the lots while avoiding impacts to the adjacent wetlands.
Wetlands
Three wetlands are shown on the subject property. The Applicant has submitted a Wetland Delineation
Report. The report will be reviewed by the Washington Conservation District (WCD). A vegetative buffer
will be required around the wetlands, and the required buffer width will depend on the types of the wetlands.
The applicant is proposing a shared driveway to serve Lots 2 and 3 to avoid impacts to the wetlands.
Potential road impacts to the required wetland buffers need to be determined and mitigated. Approval of the
subdivision should be contingent upon approval of the delineation by the WCD and implementation of
recommendations of the WCD, including appropriate buffers.
Setbacks and Wetland Buffers
All setback requirements and vegetative buffer requirements must be met. The setback from the Big Marine
Ordinary High Water Level (942.2 feet) is 75 feet. The yard setbacks are: side yard of 20 feet, front yard of
40 feet, and rear yard of 50 feet. There is adequate space for a dwelling unit on parcels 2 and 3. Lot 1 already
has a house, which infringes slightly on the lake setback.
The subject property is located within the Carnelian-Marine Watershed District's jurisdiction. The Applicant
should consult with the Watershed District regarding permit requirements, and to determine the Watershed
District's buffer requirements.
Woodland Preservation
There are some woods on the site, including in the area of the proposed shared driveway. A Woodland
Preservation Plan is required if any Significant Trees, as defined by the Scandia Zoning Ordinance, are
present in the proposed construction zone.
Lakamaga Trail
Lakamaga Trail is a paved city street, with a turn-around located just north of the driveway to the existing
home. No road improvements are proposed or necessitated by the proposed subdivision.

Scandia, Minnesota
Park Dedication
The subject property is not shown within a park search area in the Comprehensive Parks, Trails, Open Space,
and Recreation Plan. Cash in lieu of park land dedication should be required.
Other Ordinance Requirements
The preliminary plat application must demonstrate that all applicable standards are met, such as one acre of
buildable land per lot, and that the impervious surface of each lot does not exceed 25%. The table on the face
of the preliminary plat shows that each lot has more than one acre of buildable area.
Drainage Easements
The preliminary plat shows drainage area passing through lots 2 and 3. The final plat should show drainage
easements over these drainage areas.
Septic Systems
The applicants have provided soil tests for proposed septic systems to serve lots 2 and 3. Approval of the
preliminary plat is conditioned upon approval of the septic areas and drainfields by Washington County.
Shared Driveway
The applicant is proposing to provide a shared driveway to serve lots 2 and 3. The shared driveway is
necessary to avoid filling a large wetland on lot 3. The proposal is for a 33 foot driveway easement with a 16
foot driveway made of Class 5. This road must be designed and built to meet the requirements of the Fire
Chief to allow emergency vehicle access. Maintenance of the shared driveway will be the responsibility of
the future landowners of these lots.
Lowest Floor Elevation
The preliminary plat states that"All lots abutting a lake...The lowest floor elevation shall be no lower than
two feet above the regulatory flood protection elevation. The lowest floor elevation...shall be a minimum of
three feet above the 100 year flood elevation or 3 feet above the ordinary high water mark, whichever is
greater. While this is accurate information, the information can no longer be placed on the face of the final
plat.
All of the lots appear to have building sites meeting the elevation requirements. Minimum floor elevations
will be verified at the time building permits are issued.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The exact location of the wetlands, required wetland buffers, and the locations of any Significant Trees may
affect the final design of the proposed subdivision. The city is awaiting comments from the DNR, Carnelian
Marine St. Croix Watershed District and Washington County Conservation Service regarding these issues.
Since responses have not been received regarding these matters, the planners recommend tabling this matter
pending comments from each of the agencies. As allowed by state law, the applicant has been notified that
the City has extended the review period by 60 days to December 19, 2007.

SUBJECT: Wetland Delineation Report
New Scandia Township, MN
Hult # 07072
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Swanson:
Hult & Associates, Inc. has prepared this wetland report to assist you with the
development of your site in New Scandia Township and to provide wetland-permitting
documentation in order to comply with the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA)
and the Clean Water Act Section 404. The site is located at the end of Lakamaga Trail.
The site is part of Government Lots 1 & 2, Section 29, T32N, R2OW, Three (3) wetlands
were delineated. The site is located in the St. Croix River Watershed (#37), in New
Scandia Township in Washington County, Minnesota. This report describes the
characteristics of the wetland basins and documents their status under the various wetland
regulations. If your project will not impact the wetlands, or is below the threshold limits
outlined below, this report can be submitted to the Local Units of Government to
document compliance with the various wetland regulations.
Wetland Delineation Methodoloj1y
As part of our wetland delineation, Hult& Associates, Inc., reviewed the available
background wetland information on this site. This information included:
➢ National Wetlands Inventory Map (NWI);
➢ Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Protected Waters Map;
➢ Washington County Soil Survey;;
➢ U.S.G.S. 7.5 min. Quadrangle Map; and
➢ Some aerial photographs.
The basin were field delineated (on-site) July 26, 2007 using the principles of the 1987
Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual including adopted modifications,
guidance letters and memorandum of agreement. The routine delineation method was
generally used and dominant vegetation was evaluated by estimated area cover and the
50/20 nile. Wetlands were classified according to the methodologies in Wetland and
Deepwater Habitats of the United States(FWS/OBS Publication 79/31; Cowardin et. al.
1979) and Wetlands of the United States(USFWS Circular 39; Shaw and Fredin 1971).
The wetland boundaries and observation points were staked with pink metal pin flags and
orange flagging. The location of the staked basins were surveyed by Hult & Associates,
Inc. and incorporated into the site plans. The size of the basins reported here is based on
that survey.
Basin Characteristics
Table 1. Summary of Wetland Characteristics
Wetland Class Type On-site Size Comments
1 PEMCd 3 17,129 ft2 Located in the center of the site.

Reed Canary Grass. The soil consisted of 10YR 2/1 muck over a 10YR 3/1 loam to a
depth greater than 24 inches. Standing water and saturated soils were not observed in the
extremely dry conditions. The adjacent uplands were marked by a topographic and
vegetation break consisting of Kentucky Blue Grass, Common Mullein, Canada Thistle
and Common Dandelion, Virginia Creeper, Downey Bromegrass and Easter Red Cedar.
Wetland 3 is a 29,969 ft2 fringe wetland adjacent to Big Marine Lake. The basin
consisted of Reed Canary Grass and Cattails The adjacent uplands were marked by a
severe topographic and vegetation break consisting of Kentucky Blue Grass, Common
Mullein, Canada Thistle and Common Dandelion, Virginia Creeper, Downey Bromegrass
and Easter Red Cedar.
Wetland Jurisdiction
Clean Water Act, Section 404
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) regulates dredge and fill activities in
navigable waters, wetlands adjacent, tributary, or with significant nexus to
navigable waters and isolated wetlands important to interstate commerce. A 2001
Supreme Court ruling has limited the COE jurisdiction over isolated wetlands, but
the COE has not yet finalized guidance for implementing this ruling under Section
404 of the Clean Water Act. In most cases, if the proposed impacts are less than
400 square feet, the COE does not require notification of the project. If proposed
impacts are between 400 square feet and 2.0 acres, the COE requires notification
and approval (letter of permission) prior to beginning the project. If the wetland
impacts occur in or adjacent to "special waters" and/or exceed 10,000 square feet,
the COE review will include a 30-day public/interagency notice. If the proposed
impacts exceed the WCA deminimus limits (see below), the COE will require
mitigation for the full amount of the impacts regardless of the WCA exemption. If
more than two acres of wetland impacts are proposed, an individual permit will
automatically be required which includes sequencing (providing there are no
alternatives) review by other environmental agencies, a public comment period,
and compensatory mitigation. The COE contact person for Chisago County is Dan
Seemon (651-290-5380).
Minnesota Protected Waters Act
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has jurisdiction over waters of the
state that are generally Wetland Type 3, 4, and 5, and are larger than 2.5 acres in
incorporated areas or 10 acres in unincorporated areas. There is one DNR
protected wetland listed on this site, wetland # 3 (Big Marine Lake) with an
Ordinary High Water(OHW) level of 942.2 established. The OHW for a lake or
wetland is determined by the DNR as the elevation at which the vegetation
changes from aquatic to terrestrial. For a watercourse the OHW is the average
elevation of the top of the channel banks at any given location. The DNR has
jurisdiction over areas below the OHW. No impacts are allowed below the OHW
which would have the effect of converting protected waters to upland. Although
some activities such as vegetation clearing, sand blankets, docks, etc. may be
allowed by the DNR, they may require a permit and the DNR should be consulted
as to limitation on any activity below the OHW. The DNR contact is Travis
Germundson (651) 772-7977,
Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA)
A Local Unit of Government (LGU) will have jurisdiction over the wetlands on
the site, based on the WCA as amended through 2000. The LGU for this site is the
Washington Conservation District (Jyneen Thatcher, 651-275-1136). There is a
WCA deminimis exemption for the project for the first 2,000 square feet of
wetland impacts to Type 1, 2, and 6 wetlands outside of a shoreland protection
zone. Within a shoreland protection zone (1,000 feet for a lake and 300 feet from
a river) and for other types of wetlands the deminimus exemption is limited to 400
square feet. This site is within the shoreland district and will be limited to 400
square feet. If the site plans include wetland impacts, which exceed the
exemption limits, a WCA permit will be required from the County. Under the
WCA rules, an applicant must demonstrate that wetland impacts have been
avoided and unavoidable impacts minimized before the activity would be
permitted. These rules also require a 2:1 mitigation ratio for filling or draining in
any wetland, or excavation in semi permanently to permantely flooded wetlands.
Projects with proposed wetland impacts must also develop a 5-year monitoring
plan to determine if the mitigation plan is successful. Permanent deed restrictions
will be required over the mitigation area.
Clean Water Act Section 402
Under Section 402(P) of the Clean Water Act, the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency is required to develop regulations for stormwater discharges. The
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPCA) has the authority to regulate the
stormwater program under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) program. The MPCA has written a general permit for construction sites,
which grade more than 1 acre. As of July 1, 2003, a permit application and fee of
$400 (no plans or specifications) must be sent to the MPCA at least 48 hours prior
to commencement of land disturbance activities. The permit application required
the site owner and contractor to certify the provision of the general permit,
including developing and implementing temporary and permanent erosion and
sediment control plans, will be followed. The general permit requires that
stormwater discharges be preponded before discharge to waters of the state
(including wetlands). The general permit also requires inspection and
maintenance of the erosion and sediment control facilities on a weekly basis. If
site grading exceeds one-acre, this permit will have to be obtained from the
MPCA.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me. Hult &
Associates, Inc. appreciates the opportunity to provide you with wetland delineation
services. If you have additional needs for our services on permitting, planning, surveying,
or engineering for this or other projects in the future, please give us a call.

Re: CMSCWD Comments on Old Marine Estates Minor Subdivision
Big Marine Lake Subwatershed Management Area
CMSCWD Comment No. 07-018
Dear Ms. Hurlburt:
The following are the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (District) for the proposed
subdivision referenced above. Please provide copies of CMSCWD comments to the City
Council/Planning Commission for consideration at their October 2, 2007, meeting.
1. Comments are based on a copy of the proposed preliminary plat provided by Hult &
Associates, dated 8-21-07. Grading, drainage, erosion/sediment control plans were not
provided so our comments do not include those aspects of the design.
2. Proposed project is a minor-subdivision and requires a permit from the CMSCWD.
3. 100-yr flood elevations need to be determined and identified on plan sheets for the lake and
wetlands located on this property. Low floor elevations for each lot need to be identified on
plan sheet and must be set a minimum of 2-ft above the 100-yr flood elevation.
4. Wetlands:
a. A copy of the wetlands delineation report and approval letter from Jyneen Thatcher,
WCD (City Wetlands Administrator)will need to be submitted with the permit
application to the District. Lakamaga Trail is platted over a portion of Wetland #1. Is
there filling/grading or any other impacts proposed for either of the wetlands?
b. District Management Standards identify Wetland No. 1 as a category 3 wetland with a
required minimum 25-ft natural buffer. Wetland No. 2 is a category 2 wetland with a
minimum 50-ft natural buffer. Big Marine Lake is a recreational development lake and
has a minimum 50-ft natural buffer requirement. Buffers will need to be delineated on
the plans and recorded on the property title for each lot. Wetland buffers are measured
from the delineated edge of wetland and lake buffers are measured from the OHW of the
lake.
5. The bluff line for Lot 1 does not continue along the west side of the lot? City may want to
require the developer to clarify on the plans or in the developers agreement what type of
access is allowed down the bluff to the lake. Something to inform potential lot buyers as to
what is allowed before they purchase the property.

6. Grading, drainage and erosion/sediment control plans are needed for this development.
Infiltration practices, raingardens or other Best Management Practices should be used to limit
the additional concentrated discharge onto the steep bluff slopes. Some technical assistance
through the Washington Conservation District may be available to the applicant.
7. Individual home sites will need erosion and sediment control plans.
Please feel free to contact me at(651) 770-8448 if you have any questions on this comment
letter.

City of Scandia
14727 209th St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Review a first draft of revised Shoreland Management Regulations.
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • Scandia's Shoreland Regulations are those of Washington County,
adopted by reference and modified by language in Chapter 2, Section
11.2 of the Development Code.
• When the city amended its regulations in the spring of 2007 (to allow
places of worship as a conditional use), Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources (DNR) staff commented that the city needed to
adopt its own shoreland regulations as soon as possible. They gave the
city a list of public waters that need to be listed in the regulations in
addition to those in the county's ordinance. Informally, they indicated
that there were not other significant changes needed at this time.
• While Scandia needs to adopt its own ordinance soon, it may be best to
keep the update as simple as possible and to not make major
substantive changes at this time. The entire Development Code should
be reviewed after the Comprehensive Plan update is complete.
• A draft of a new Chapter 5 of the Scandia Development Code has been
prepared. The starting point was the current county ordinance, edited
to change references from the county to the city. Most of those minor
changes are not highlighted in the draft; only those additions
(underlined) and deletions (crossed out) that are more substantive are
marked in the draft.
• Notes summarizing the changes that have been made to the county
ordinance in the draft are listed on the next two pages.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Commission and City Council discuss the draft
ordinance and give direction regarding any changes. Unless there are
substantive issues that require further discussion, a possible next step
would be to schedule a public hearing.

Shoreland Regulations Update
Notes on September 26, 2007 Draft
Current Code Section/Topic: Comments:
Section 2, Scope and Applicability • Paragraph 2.4—clarified language stating that more
restrictive standards of Dev. Code apply, except for lot size,
lot width and permitted uses in shoreland overlay.
• Added language stating that undefined terms shall have the
same meaning as definitions found in other chapters of the
development code.
• Deleted definitions found elsewhere in development code
(hardship, height of building, setback, variance)
• Deleted definitions not relevant to Scandia(lake—general
development, river—transition, and river—tributary)
• Clarified definition of shoreland to make clear that only Tier
One and Tier Two lots within 1,000 feet of the public water
are subject to the regulations.
• Re-wrote definition of Tier Two Lot for consistency with
shoreland definition.
Section 4, Administration • Moved sections on notices to DNR (former Section 21) and
conditional uses (former Section 14) so that administrative
language is in one place.
Section 5, Shoreland Classification • Added new water bodies as required by DNR (see map,
System attached.)
• Deleted waterbody types not present in Scandia.
• Referenced Washington County regulations for Lower St.
Croix River Bluffland and Shoreland Management
Regulations (which will continue to apply until Scandia
adopts its own ordinance.)
