When appropriate, contracts should hold Washington County harmless and indemnify the county for any loss it may have to pay due to activities of those performing the contract. 2. Vendors are to provide insurance coverage for general liability and auto liability with minimum limits consistent with statutory liability limits, presently $300,000 per claimant and $1,000,000 per occurrence, and standard worker's compensation coverage. 3. In instances where a vendor can only provide lesser limits of coverage, the county may accept these limits, realizing there is some added risk exposure. In addition, there are occasions where the services provided by vendors expose the county to very little risk, and the insurance requirement may be waived in part or entirely. However, in cases where lower insurance limits are sought or a waiver of insurance requirements is requested, all such requests should be made in writing to the county's risk manager in Human Resources for approval. Such a request should be made prior to having the County Attorney's office sign the contract as to form.

Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • In September, Eide-Bailly, the long-time auditor for New Scandia Township, informed the City that us that they will no longer have the time or resources to retain Scandia as a client. At the September 18 meeting, the Council authorized release of an RFP for audit service for the fiscal years 2007, 2008 and 2009. • The RFP was advertised on the City's website, with the League of Minnesota Cities, and mailed to seven accounting firms that provide audit services to other municipalities. Five responses were received by the October 26, 2007 (4:00 p.m.) deadline. • The RFP requested prices for auditing the Scandia Fire Relief Association as part of the Audit. The additional cost quoted ranged from $3,000 to $3,750 per year for the first year. This is more than the Relief Association has been paying for their audit. • The proposed costs (not including the Relief Association audit) over the three-year period range from $50,564 (Smith Schafer) to $81,000 (HLB Tautges Redpath.) • All five of the firms are qualified to provide services to the City. In staffs initial review of the proposal, we were most impressed with Abdo Eick & Meyers. They submitted a good sample management report and have other valuable services available (such as assistant with capital assets.) Most of their practice consists of city government clients. They have the Banyon accounting software we use in our office. They also made a personal contact with staff to ask questions about the RFP. Even though their cost proposal was the second highest, they also proposed the highest level of effort (220 hours.) • Smith Schafer's proposal was the least expensive, but provided the least information and the lowest level of effort (155 hours.) • HLB Tautges Redpath was the highest cost proposal, even though their level of effort was lower than several others (170 hours.) Page 1 of 2 11/01/07 Their timing(field work in May, reports in mid-June) was also outside of what was requested in the RFP. For these reasons, we suggest that they could be removed from further consideration. • The Council could decide to select an audit firm based upon the proposals, or interview two or more of the firms before making a selection. If interviews are held, they should be scheduled so that a firm may be selected at the December 4 Council meeting. Recommendation: I recommend that the Council select firms for interviews. The entire Council could conduct interviews, or appoint a subcommittee. The interviews should be held when Treasurer Colleen Firkus is available, as she is the principal contact between the City and the auditing firm. We suggest one of the following dates: Monday, November 26 Tuesday, November 27 (before 3:30 p.m.) Friday, November 30 Attachments/ • Spreadsheet summarizing proposals Materials provided: • Five proposals (Abdo Eick & Meyers LLP, HLB Tautges Redpath, Ltd., KDV, LarsonAllen, Smith Schafer& Associates) Contact(s): Prepared by: Anne Hurlburt, Administrator (audit proposals) Page 2 of 2 11/01/07 Audit Service Proposals 2007 Abdo Eick&Meyers HLBTautges Redpath KDV LarsonAllen Smith Schafer 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 2007 2008 2009 Audit 24,720 25,974 27,300 18,000 18,800 19,600 17,775 18,650 19,625 19,750 20,775 21,800 15,130 16,030 17,104 Financial Statement Preparation 4,000 4,200 4,400 1 3,000 3,150 3,300 included included included Accounting Assistance 4,000 4,000 4,000 2 200 200 200 ?

Deadline/ Timeline: Staffing should be completed by December 1; tentative opening date for the rink is December 15. Background: • Each year the warming house is staffed by seasonal Ice Rink (Park) Attendants. Skating Manager John Beattie typically recruits and selects the part-time employees. Some of last year's staff is expected to return, but we should advertise in order to ensure we have enough workers for the season. • In preparation for the upcoming season, we updated the position description for the Ice Rink Attendant in the same format as other city job descriptions. The draft is attached for your review and approval. • For the 2006-2007 season, the starting pay rate for Park Attendant was set at $8.59 per hour. We believe that this is adequate for the 2007-2008 season.

Fabian dated October 31, 2007, (Attachment J) Letter to Anne Hurlburt from Tim Pratt undated (Attachment K) • 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 is being proposed as a major subdivision so that the subdivision can An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 2 October 31, 2007 Scandia, Minnesota be created through the platting procedures 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 (3) lots, one of which already has a house on it. The Camp Lakamaga Girl Scout Camp shares the subject property's southeasterly boundary. 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 has been 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. Jyneen Thatcher of the Washington Conservation District, has reviewed the wetland delineation, and she recommends that the City accept the delineation as surveyed. The plans as presented by the applicant show four proposed raingardens on the property. The Carnelian Marine St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD) in correspondence dated October 31, 2007, addresses issues related to drainage computations, design of raingardens and additional detail for erosion and sediment control plans. See letter from CMSCWD. These issues must be addressed by the Applicant. 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 10 feet, front yard of 40 feet, and rear yard of 50 feet. Bluff setbacks are 30 feet and 100 feet from the Ordinary High Water Level. There is adequate space for dwelling units on Lots 2 and 3 that can meet appropriate setbacks. 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. In her letter of October 8, 2007, Ms. Thatcher states that the proposed plat adequately depicts the setback zones of 75 feet from the permanently flooded zone (OHW) of the Type 3 wetland and 20 feet from the delineated edge of both wetlands. She states that "notes and graphics indicate a 50-foot buffer around the Type 3 wetland which is consistent with County standards."The Applicant should consult with the Watershed District regarding Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 3 October 31, 2007 Scandia, Minnesota permit requirements, and to determine the Watershed District's buffer requirements based upon the draft Watershed Management Plan. Wetland No. 2 is a category 2 wetland with a minimum 50-foot natural buffer. The proposed buffer needs to be identified on the plans. Big Marine Lake is a recreational development lake and has a minimum 50-foot natural buffer requirement. The proposed buffer for Big Marine Lake needs to be identified on the Plans,. Buffers need to be delineated on the plans and a declaration recorded on the property deed for each lot. Ms. Thatcher goes on to point out that the wetland on Lot 3 is crossed by horses in the shallow areas along the property line. A condition of this plat should be that no wetland fill be allowed on this wetland. The Plans also indicate 400 square feet of wetland impact,but do not show where that impact will occur. The CMSCWD does not recognize a deminimus exemption. The Applicant must identify the potential impact and work with the CMSCWD to protect the wetland. The Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the Preliminary Plat, and has no comments on the subdivision. Maximum Lot Coverage/Buildable Land The Scandia Zoning Ordinance sets limits on the maximum percentage of lot coverage (impervious surface) per lot (25%). It is not specifically called out on the information provided by the surveyor. However, for Lots 2 and 3, the surveyor shows 9,800 square feet of disturbed area for house, garage, and shared driveway for each lot. The gross size of Lot 2 is 164,090 square feet and the size for Lot 3 is 193,923 square feet. Based on this information, the impervious surface would be 5.9% and 5% respectively, well within the 25% limits set by the City. The ordinance also requires at least one acre of buildable land. Lot 1 has 2.9 acres buildable; Lot 2 has 1.18 acres buildable, and Lot 3 has 1.2 acres buildable. All lots meet the buildable area requirements. Woodland Preservation The aerial photograph of the subject property shows that there are some woods on the site. A Woodland Preservation plan was prepared as required by the Scandia Zoning Ordinance. This plan shows that 98 trees will be removed,primarily from the joint driveway area. Some of these trees, mostly white pine, will be relocated onto Lots 2 and 3. This will leave a net loss of 73 trees. From the information provided, it is not clear how the Applicant will replace the trees. The tree replacement schedule in Chapter Two, Section 9.11(4),provides the needed size and type of replacement trees. In the event that land area is not available for replacement trees, the ordinance allows a tree replacement payment of$100 for each net tree lost. The Applicant must either show where the remaining trees will be replaced on a reforestation plan or pay the City $100 for each tree lost. Accessory Structure From the aerial photo it appears that there is an accessory structure on Lot 1 between the existing house and the lake. The structure must meet the setback requirements, or must be removed. Lakamaga Trail From the aerial photo it appears that the Lakamaga Trail right-of-way extends to the subject property, but that the roadway surface stops north of the property. The proposed dead-end road would be approximately 1,800 feet long, or about a third of a mile. Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 4 October 31, 2007 Scandia, Minnesota The Planners find that creation of a dead-end at the end of Lakamaga Trail is appropriate in that there are no opportunities for future street connections in the area. In the event of changes in land use at the Girl Scout Camp property, roadway access would be provided north of the proposed subdivision. Since the last meeting the surveryor provided additional information regarding the existing hammerhed turnaround on the Swanson property. The Preliminary Plat now shows a small boxed-off area at he south end of Lakamaga Trail. The Detail of Southwest End, Lakamaga Trail shows the bituminous surface turn around but not the box. The intention for this area is not clear from the information provided. Since this will be a public turn around, land dedication to the City should be made for the area shown boxed off on the Preliminary Plat and included in the right of way for Lakamaga Trail. The area should be enlarged (20-30 feet) to allow for snow removal. 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. Drainage Easements The Preliminary Plat shows a drainage area passing through Lots 2 and 3. This drainage area must be shown as a drainage easement to the City on the final plat. Septic Systems The Applicant has 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 aggregate. This shared driveway 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 determined by 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 three(3) feet above the ordinary high water mark, whichever is greater." Lowest floor elevation will be verified at the time of issuance of the building permits. Neighbor Letter A letter form Tim Pratt received October 30, 2007 to the northwest of the proposed develop has raised questions about use of the shoreline, structure heights and raingardens. The first concern is access to the lake from the blufftops. The neighbors are requesting that the City provide information regarding erosion control and aquatic vegetation and its benefits and penalties for removal. While providing that information to prospective home buyers is a good idea, it would be difficult to provide this information to prospective buyers. At the time of the building permit application, the building inspector will provide information to the builder regarding vegetation removal and erosion control. Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 5 October 31, 2007 Scandia, Minnesota Regarding height of the houses, sometimes the maximum height allowed is reduced if the Applicant requires a setback variance from the lake. The rationale for this action is that if someone is placing a home closer to the water, in order to mitigate the visual effect of the structure, a greater height restriction is imposed. In this case, no variances will be required. Height restrictions can also be increased as they were in the Ti Gavo development, which was a Planned Unit Development (PUD). The nature of a PUD is that some negotiating can take place on various requirements; there is give and take between the City and the landowner/developer, this is the nature of a PUD. Again, the subdivision proposed is not a PUD, and negotiation for height is not part of an ordinary subdivision without need for variances. In this case there is no variance requested and it is not a PUD, therefore increasing the height limitation is not possible. Because this proposal meets code requirements, an attempt to place greater height limitations on the two houses that could be placed on these lots could be viewed as arbitrary. Of course, the landowner could decide on his own to reduce the heights allowed, but this cannot be required. On the issue of flooding as water drains from the wetland into the lake. The Carnelian Marine Watershed District will recommend a raingarden, or some other feature to collect the water before it floods onto the Pratt's property. As noted above, the plans do include sites for four raingardens already. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends approval of the Preliminary Plat for Old Marine Estates with the following conditions: 1) That the wetland on Lot 3 not be filled or disturbed and that the Applicant work with the Carnelian Marine St. Croix Watershed District on any other potential impacts to the wetlands. 2) That the Applicant consult with the Carnelian Marine Watershed District regarding wetland rules and setbacks and other issues associated with this proposal and obtain a watershed permit. That the Applicant delineate buffers around the wetlands and Big Marine Lake and address these issues as outlined in the Letter from Dan Fabian dated October 31, 2007. 3) That the Applicant obtain approval by the City Engineer of the erosion and sediment control plan with additional detail before final plat approval. That the Applicant design and construct a raingarden or other feature to prevent flooding onto the neighbor's property. 4) That the Applicant address issues related to drainage computations, design of raingardens, and additional detail for erosion and sediment control plans, as mentioned in the October 31, 2007, correspondence from the CMSCWD. 5) That the Woodland Preservation Plan be amended to include additional replacement trees or payment of$100 to the City if adequate space does not exist on the proposed lots for replacement trees. 6) That the preliminary plat meet all requirements of the City Engineer, including road design, driveway design, drainage, etc. That the Applicant dedicates land for the turn-around shown boxed off on the Old Marine Estates Preliminary Plat Page 6 October 31, 2007 Scandia, Minnesota Preliminary Plat and included in the right-of-way of Lakamaga Trail. The area should be enlarged (20-30 feet) to allow for snow removal, 7) Cash in lieu of land dedication should be required. 8) That drainage areas are protected through easements provided to the City. 9) That areas for septic systems and drainfields be approved by Washington County. 10) That all fees are paid, and that any escrow fees needed (i.e. reforestation, water features) be paid to the City prior to final plat approval.

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 Methodoloj v 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 rule. 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. 2 PEMB 2 56,760 ft2 Located on the easterly portion of the site. _ PEMC 3 29,969 ft2 Wetland fringe to Big Marine Lake Wetland 1 is a 17,129 ft2 square foot, Palustrine Emergent, Seasonally Flooded, Ditched (PEMCd, Type 3)basin located at the end of Lakamaga Trail on the east side of the road in the center of the site. The basin consisted of Common Cattails, Broad-Leaf Arrowhead, Lady Tear Thumb, Goldenrod and Reed Canary Grass. The soil consisted of 10YR 2/1 muck to a depth greater than 24 inches. Standing water and saturated soils were observed at a depth of 8 inches. The adjacent uplands were marked by a topographic and vegetation break consisting of Kentucky Blue Grass, Creeping Charlie, Canada Thistle and Common Dandelion, Virginia Creeper, Downey Bromegrass and Easter Red Cedar. Wetland 2 is a 56,760 ft2 (on-site) square foot, Palustrine Emergent, Saturated (PEMB, Type 2) sedge meadow located on the easterly portion of the site. The basin consisted of Lady Tear Thumb, Goldenrod, Blue Vervain, Boneset, Sedges, Red Osier Dogwood and 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 stonmwater 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.

The delineation flagging appears to adequately capture the wetlands on the site,and appropriately identify the wetland type.Based on my site review, the delineation documents submitted to date,and the preliminary plat map,I would recommend the City accept the delineation as surveyed. Regarding the preliminary plat for the minor subdivision,I would offer the following comments.. 1. The proposed plat adequately depicts the set-back zones of 75 feet from the permanently flooded 'one(ohw)of the Type 3 wetland and 20 feet from the delineated edge of both wetlands. 2. The notes and graphic indicate a 50-foot buffer around the Type 3 wetland,which is consistent with County standards.However,the Carnelian Marine on St Croix Watershed District has a draft wetland inanagernent plan that categorizes wetlands and applies buffers relating to the specifics of the individual wetlands.That agency should be consulted as to the management class assigned to these wetlands,and the recommended buffer distance. 3. Lot 3 is an L-shaped parcel,which is split by Wetland#2.Currently, the wetland is crossed by the resident horses in the shallow area along the property line.On parcels like this,we frequently receive requests from owners requesting wetland fill to improve the crossing path. While this subdivision proposes for Lot 3 to share the access drive with Lot 2,I would urge the City to consider the potential for future wetland impacts to Lot 3.„ 4. The shoreline wetland is slightly above the Ordinary High Water Level of the lake.Any alterations to the shoreline could impact this wetland fringe.Traditional lakeshore improvements(such as sand beach blankets,tiprap,or retaining walls)ate subject to regulation under the Wetland Conservation Act(WCA)if they impact/fill the wetland above the OHWI... Temporary docks are usually considered not a regulated impact,under the WCA. Overall,this preliminary plat could lead to some wetland impacts that could be avoided with some additional planning and review at this stage. Feel tree to call if you have questions about these comments,or need more information.

Box 188,Scandia,MN 55073 October 31, 2007 Anne Hurlburt, Administrator City of Scandia 15727 209th Street No. Scandia, Minnesota, 55073 Re: CMSCWD Review Comments#2 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 November 6, 2007, meeting. 1. Comments are based on a copy of the proposed preliminary plat and plans prepared by Hult & Associates, dated 10-23-07. 2. Proposed project is a minor-subdivision and requires a permit from the CMSCWD. Please include requirement to obtain Watershed District permit prior to start of construction. 3. 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. The plan sheets identify some requirements for low floor elevations but it is not clear what is the lowest allowable floor elevation for each building site. Based on the location of the proposed building pads the 100- yr flood elevations of Wetland#2 probably controls low floor elevations. 4. Wetlands: a. A copy of the wetlands delineation report and comment letter from Jyneen Thatcher, WCD (City Wetlands Administrator) was received. Jyneen's specific recommendations should be sought and implemented prior to approval. Lakamaga Trail is platted over a portion of Wetland#1. Is there filling/grading or any other impacts proposed for either of the wetlands? The plans identify up to 400 ft^2 of wetland impact but do not identify where this is located. The Watershed District does not allow the deminus exemption identified on the plan sheets. b. District Management Standards identify Wetland No. 1 as a category 3 wetland with a required minimum 25-ft natural buffer. Proposed average buffer for wetland No. 1 meets this requirement. Wetland No. 2 is a category 2 wetland with a minimum 50-ft natural buffer. Proposed buffer needs to be identified on the plans. Big Marine Lake is a recreational development lake and has a minimum 50-ft natural buffer requirement. Proposed buffer for Big Marine Lake needs to be identified on the plans. Buffers need to be delineated on the plans and a declaration recorded on the property deed for each 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. Drainage Computations: a. Subwatershed divides need to include off-site areas that drain to the site. Based on our review of contour mapping for the adjacent properties there appears to be a significant contributing drainage area SE of Wetland#2. Also the Lakmaga Trail culvert is included in the model but the drainage area NE of the culvert is not included in the model. b. Runoff curve number computations assume 100%of pervious area consists of Woods with "A" soils. The soil survey identifies some of the soils as "B" soils and the wetland areas would have "C: or"D"soils. The lawn portion of the property where the new homes will be should be assumed to be lawn with "B" soils. c. Drainage Model is needed for both undeveloped and developed conditions. Rates should not be increased from undeveloped to developed conditions, for the 2-yr, 10-yr or 100-yr 24-hr storm event. (The District has heard concerns from neighboring properties that the road in this area is frequently overtopped causing drainage issues and that the additional impervious of this development will increase those problems). d. Wetland #1 and Wetland #2 are landlocked basins. Determination of the 100-yr flood elevation needs to use the 100-yr 10-day snowmelt event (frozen ground no infiltration) as the design storm. 7. Additional details are needed for the 4-proposed raingardens. At a minimum area, volume and typical construction detail should be included. How will the developer ensure that the new home owners construct the raingardens as designed? a. We suggest that the City require the raingardens to be constructed by the developer at the same time that the shared driveways are constructed. b. We also suggest relocating the four proposed raingardens to place one at the upstream end of the proposed culverts for the individual driveways. The remaining two should be combined to a larger raingarden/ infiltration basin (if soils are appropriate) located at the intersection of the proposed driveway and Lakamaga Trail. This basin could also provide storage to help reduce flows from the site and address concerns of neighbors. We anticipate this basin would be similar to what the City installed by the Shaw property to address a similar drainage issue. Except in this case rather than having to redo-fit the project could be included in the initial driveway construction and shaped to fit more naturally into the topography. CMSCWD - (Old Marine Estates Comments to Scandia) 10/31/2007 Page 3 8. The proposed erosion and sediment control plan needs additional construction details. If construction is proposed for this winter then erosion control for winter construction needs to be included in the plan. Driveway ditches should probably be blanketed with rock checks to help stabilize. Erosion and sediment control plan should be approved by the City Engineer.

Scandia,MN 55073 CITY OF SCANDIA Dear Ms. Hurlburt, I'm writing on behalf of the Pratt Family Big Marine LLC to let you know our thoughts about the subdivision proposal submitted by our neighbors John and Sandra Swanson, 11980 Lakamaga Trail. We are concerned the subdivision, if not done properly,has the potential to harm the water quality of Big Marine Lake, diminish the esthetics of the lake and create flooding on our property and adjacent properties. We want to share our concerns now so that they can be addressed before construction activities commence. Water Quality We realize the new owners will want to access the lake. However, the two proposed lots will have steep, sandy slopes from the bluff line to the lake shore. Even minimal action has the potential to create significant damage to this fragile area. We believe it is imperative that new owners receive information from the Washington County Code on Shoreline Management as to how best to access the shoreline from the bluff while causing minimal damage and erosion. While the City does not typically present this information to an owner until after the lot has been purchased and a building plan presented,we believe the City should make it a condition of the subdivision that potential purchasers be given this information before closing on the lots. If erosion of the slope occurs, as would be likely with virtually any development of this fragile area, the impact on lake water quality can be minimized by the aquatic vegetation that is currently near shoreline. We are concerned that the new owners may not realize the benefits of the cattails,reeds and other plants and they may try to remove them. The new owners also may not be aware of the shallow depths of that portion of the lake. Further,we ask that the new owners be made aware of the limited need to construct a beach type environment because just 50 feet or so out from the shore is an extensive, sandy,shallow and vegetation-free area that is ideal for swimming.We believe the City should make a further stipulation of the subdivision to require that potential purchasers be given information from either the DNR or the Watershed District regarding the benefits of the aquatic vegetation and the potential penalties for removing the aquatic vegetation. We also urge the Swansons to let potential purchasers know about the lake depths so that the new owners can determine the best way to enjoy the lake while having minimal impact on the natural environment. Esthetics The bluff where the new lots will be located is a high elevation point on the lakeshore. We are concerned that if the new owners attempt to put the tallest home allowed by code as close as permitted to the shoreline that it would have a negative impact on the esthetic experience of other lake users. We encourage the City protect the lakeshore viewshed by requiring lower heights for the homes that would go on the new lots. Flooding The wetland on the Swanson property just east of Lakamaga Trail drains westward into Big Marine Lake. For many years we and our neighbors have had problems with localized flooding as runoff from the wetland drains through our properties. We are concerned that increased impervious surface in the wetland watershed would mean higher flows during snowmelt and large rainfall events, to the detriment of our property. We feel it would be reasonable to require a rain garden infiltration area large enough to capture the increased flow from the rooftops, driveways, and other impervious surfaces built on the development. Thank you for this opportunity to express our concerns about the proposed subdivision. We will attend the November 6 meeting and can answer any questions at that time. Or you may call me ahead of time at 651-792-7027. Sincerely, Tim Pratt Treasurer Pratt Family Big Marine,LLC
