Adjournment 1/18/2007 3 a) November 14, 2006 The Planning Commission held their regular monthly meeting on this date. In attendance were Chairman Chris Ness, James Malmquist, Peter Schwarz, Donnette Yehle and Kevin Nickelson. The minutes from the October 3 meeting were approved with a motion by Schwarz and a second by Malmquist. Dave & Mary Hume, Variance Mr. David Hume, 14939 Old Marine Trail N., Marine on St. Croix, 55047, presented a request to construct a 960 sq. ft. accessory structure on their property. Legal: SW '/ of SE '/, Sec. 26. PID: 26-032-20-43-0008. This would constitute a third accessory structure on their 10.29-acre parcel and requires a variance. The two existing accessory structures, a 1,800 sq. ft. barn and a 288 sq. ft. chicken coop, are used to house chickens and llamas, and are not suitable for storing vehicles, so the proposed garage is needed. A variance would not be required to attach the proposed garage to the house, but this would harm the historic character of the house, which was build in the 1850's. The total square footage would be 3,048 and 3,500 is allowed. All setbacks would be met. Peter Schwarz made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they grant the variance request of David & Amy Hume to construct a third accessory structure on the grounds that the addition of the garage is a reasonable use and that removing one of these buildings would adversely affect the historic nature of the farmstead and the garage cannot be attached to the house without detracting from the house's historic character. Conditions are the color and design of the proposed garage complements the existing historic accessory structures and the total square footage of the three accessory structures will not exceed the maximum established in the Ordinance. Findings are preserving the historic, rural character of the property is in keeping with the spirit of the Ordinance and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, and the hardship is present due to the unique circumstances of the property, its historic rural quality, not caused by the landowner. James Malmquist seconded the motion and the motion passed. Eugene & Bonnie Thielbar, Variance Eugene & Bonnie Thielbar, 19471 Manning Trail N., Scandia, requested a variance for Lot Size and Setbacks to allow a single family home and accessory structure to be built on the subject property. Town Planner representative, Barry Farrington, recommended the request be tabled until the Ordinary High Water mark can be established. Peter Schwarz made a motion to table the variance request until the location of the Ordinary High Water mark can be established. James Malmquist seconded the motion and the motion passed. Amendments to Development Code Mr. David Hebert presented Ordinance No. 89 to allow cluster/open space developments in the Shoreland overlay district if part of a planned unit development. Chainnan Ness opened the floor to public comment. Maria Hinz, 13800 l 82"d St., asked why not use this rule to be more strict with lakeshore development, like Tii Gavo, and why allow all the uses listed in the Ordinance for PUD's. The Planning Commission's response was that November 14, 2006 Planning Commission Page 2 the lake would be better served with fewer homes on the lakeshore, which the Tii Gavo development would accomplish. Mike White, 13310 188th St., likes the Tii Gavo development and sees it as better for the lake than a standard development. Donnette Yehle made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they adopt Ordinance No. 89. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and the motion passed. Mr. David Hebert presented Ordinance No. 90 to allow metal sided buildings on parcels larger than 4-acres, rather than 5-acres, and apply the requirement that the accessory buildings resemble the principal building only on parcels less than 4-acres in size. There were no public comments. James Malmquist made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they accept Ordinance No. 90. Peter Schwarz seconded the motion and the motion passed. Pamela Huberty — Swimming Pools. Amend Code Ms. Pamela Huberty, 22899 Mallard Ave. N., made a request to amend the Development Code concerning the performance standards for swimming pools. The Hubertys have an existing swimming pool that does not have a fence, but does have an "Aquamatic Safety Pool Cover." The cover completely enclosed the surface of the pool and can only be opened and closed with a key. Ms. Huberty is requesting the Development Code be changed to allow this type of pool cover to substitute for a fence. The Planning Commission recommended this request be discussed at the next Ordinance Workshop in two weeks. Tiller Corp. — Zavoral Property Minine & Reclamation Project Mike Caron, Tiller Corp., a consulting engineer, and a Zavoral family member, T.J. Connolly, presented their proposal to conduct a mining and reclamation project, over a 10 year period, on an approximately 60+ acre site located west of Highway 95 at Highway 97. The site, owned by the Zavoral family, was mined a number of years ago but never reclaimed. In recent years, permits have allowed the removal of material from existing stockpiles, but no mining. Part of the site is in the St. Croix Riverway zoning district, where mining is not an allowed use. They propose to mine the portion of the site outside the river corridor (about 42 acres) and reclaim the formerly mined area within the river corridor (about 20.6 acres.) as well as the newly mined area. A bond would ensure reclamation. Access to the site would be at the intersection of Highways 95 and 97, where the current driveway is at a skew to the intersection. The safety of this entrance will need to be addressed. Mr. Caron was asked if there was much topsoil on the site. Mr. Caron indicated that there was some close to the road in a berm and they will have to import topsoil. Mr. Nickelson commented that Abrahamson's Nursery has a large pile for sale. There was some discussion as to the depth of the mine and its proximity to the water table. Mr. Caron indicated his desire to establish an escrow account soon. The current mining permits expire February 28, 2007. November 14, 2006 Planning Commission Page 3 Emerald Acres — Scandia Development Mr. Greg Johnson presented a request to add one lot for a total of 26 lots on the cul-de- sac, in the wooded area. Mr. Johnson indicated it would be economically unfeasible for them to continue the project without this extra lot due to the soft housing market and increase in costs. Two letters of refusal for financing were submitted. They have also asked the estate to reduce the price, but have not heard from them. The Planning Commission indicated they had recommended 23 lots and the Town Board approved 25 lots. The Commission said they had accommodated the developer as much as possible and a decision such as this could not be based on economics. Mr. Johnson thanks the Commission for their time and departed. Conditional Use Permits Keith's Landscaping — Staff investigation of the sewer/water facilities found that no sewage system is required by the Building Code or Washington County sanitation regulations as the building is essentially cold storage with a dirt floor, no water supply and no office or employees working on site. However, original conditions required three paved parking spaces. Kevin Nickelson made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they require three paved parking spaces by July 31, 2007 at Keith's Landscaping in the Hawkinson Business Park. James Malmquist seconded the motion passed. Am -Tech — It was noted that the area behind the facility had been cleaned up. Peter Schwarz recommended that no further action is required. The next Planning Commission meeting is scheduled for December 5 with site visits on Sunday, December 3rd starting a noon. The January meeting has been scheduled for the 9"', due to a new city council will hold their first meeting on January 2nd and will determine the schedule of meetings for the coming year. Kevin Nickelson made a motion to adjourn and the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Colleen Firkus Planning Commission Secretary December 5, 2006 The New Scandia Planning Commission held their regular monthly meeting on this date. In attendance were Chairman Chris Ness, James Malmquist, Peter Schwarz, Donnette Yehle and Kevin Nickelson. Cingular Wireless, Conditional Use Permit Mr. Kyle Helmbright, Site Acquisition Consultants, Inc., presented a request of Cingular Wireless for a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to allow co -location of antennas on an existing cell phone tower and to construct an equipment building and additional fencing at 12160 Scandia Trail North. Township Planner Berry Farrington presented her report and recommendations. There were no public comments. Donnette Yehle requested additional screening as this building is bigger than the first building on the site. Two accessory structures are allowed, but any more would require a variance. James Malmquist made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they adopt draft Resolution No. 12-05-06-02 to grant a CUP to Cingular Wireless for co -location of antennas, construction of equipment building, and fencing installation, with the conditions and findings as drafted with the following changes. Item three was changed from a "grading permit granted by Washington County" to a "building permit issued by Scandia." An additional condition was added for a screening/landscaping plan to be submitted for approval by Scandia. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and the motion passed. David Rodquist, Variance Mr. Peter Curtis, architect for Mr. Rodquist, presented a request for two variances to construct a home, accessory structure, well and sewage treatment system on property located at 20412 Quinnell Ave. N. Variances are to allow an Alternative Sewage Treatment System with 12 inches of original soil and to allow location of an accessory structure between the house and the road. Mr. Shane Sparks, North American Wetland Engineering, presented information on the septic system. Public comments: Don Baber, Oligilvie Ave., asked why a mound system was not being used. Dave Hebert, said everyone in area has a mound system, where does the "clean " water go after it is pumped to the drainfield. Planning Commission discussed a minimum floor elevation and asked if a basement would be included. Mr. Curtis said there would not be a basement, but maybe a crawl space. The cabin on site is 10 ft. 7 in. By 10 ft. 7 in. and used as a prayer cottage, not for residential use. There is 2.6 acres of buildable land, but the proposed site has the best views and takes advantage of the best soils for a septic system. Donnette Yehle made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they adopt draft Resolution No. 12- 05-06-03 to grant variances to allow an Alternative Sewage Treatment System and building an accessory structure between the house and the road with the conditions and fmdings as drafted with the following changes. Add a condition that there will be no habitable area below grade. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and the motion passed. December 5, 2006 Planning Commission Page 2 Jon Rodgers, Variance Ms. Debbie Carpenter, a realtor representing Jon Rodgers, presented a request for a variance to allow a setback of 33.5 feet from the sewage treatment system to Bone Lake Ordinary Water level and a setback of 45 feet from the sewage treatment system to the well, located at 23409 N. Lofton Ave. Public Comment: Charles Amann, 12261 196`h St., asked about the .site of the parcel and if there was enough room to properly filter sewage. It also appeared to him the driveway would go over the septic area. Mike White, 13310 188rh St. N., said there was not enough information to see how it would affect the lake. James Malmquist made a motion to table the request until January as more information would be needed on the septic design with an approval from the County. Also, the lot lines need to be clarified and the Ordinary High Water line needs to be staked. It was suggested that the applicant look at acquiring property across the road. Kevin Nickelson seconded the motion and the motion passed. Scott & Mary Ann Andersen, Minor Subdivision Mr. Dale Heibesen, Hult Surveying, presented a request for Scott & Mary Ann Andersen for a minor subdivision and variance to create three lots from the property located at 19580 St. Croix Trail, including a variance to allow one lot to be 8.2 acres in size (where the ordinance requires between 2.0 and 4.0 acres, or 20 acres or greater.) Township Planner Berry Farrington presented her report and recommendations. Public Comments: Bob Reed, 16723 199`h St., said then had an active boundary dispute with the Andersens and opposes any decisions until the boundary line issue is resolved as it involves his garage, well and deck. Town Attorney, Dave Hebert, said the boundary dispute is between the two parties and the filing of the subdivision could be dependent on the resolution of the dispute. Mr. Heibesen said there is enough property on Parcel C to give up 2110 of an acre to cover the disputed area. Mike White asked if an easement is needed along the creek as well as the wetlands. Kevin Nickelson made a motion to recommend to the Town Board that they adopt draft Resolution No. 12-05-06-05 to approve the minor subdivision request of Scott & Mary Ann Andersen and Arthur Anderson II to divide 32.3 acres into three parcels, Parcel A of 8.2 acres, Parcel B of 3.8 acres, and Parcel C of 20.0 acres, and a variance to allow for Parcel A to be 8.2 acres with the conditions and findings therein. Donnette Yehle seconded the motion and the motion passed. The next meeting is January 9, 2007, with a site visit on Sunday, January 7. James Malmquist made a motion to adjourn and the meeting adjourned.

An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity German Lake Vistas Page 2 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST: The Applicant proposes a major subdivision of approximately 88.5 acres to create 8 lots. The property is located North of Scandia Trail, west of Lofton Avenue North, and directly south of 218th Street on the eastern shore of German Lake. The proposed 8 lots range in size from 7.73 acres to 14.74 acres. The Applicant requests a variance to allow Lot 5 to have a lot width of 60 feet, and to allow Lot 7 to have a lot width of 120 feet. The Scandia Zoning Ordinance requires 300 feet in each case. BACKGROUND: The subject property is used for agricultural purposes. The majority of the property is zoned Agriculture (AG). A portion of the property is zoned Agriculture Preserves (AP), located south of the boundary between the NE 1/4 - SE 1/4 and the S 1/2 - SE 1/4 (Lot 8). The entire property is within the Shoreland Overlay District because of its location on German Lake. German Lake is classified as a Natural Environment Lake and has an Ordinary High Water (OHW) level of 955.5 feet. EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST: Density and Lot Size The Applicant requests 8 single-family lots, all first -tier lots on the lake shore. The Scandia Zoning Ordinance, Shoreland District, allows a minimum lot size of 5 acres for the first tier of lots on a Natural Environment Lake. The underlying zoning district would apply to the remainder of the land within the Shoreland District. In this case, all lots are within the first tier so the 5-acre minimum lot size standard applies for density calculation purposes. The land area above the OHW for each lot ranges from 5.0 to 9.1 acres. All of the proposed lots meet the minimum lot size requirement of 5.0 acres. Setbacks The required structure setback is 200 feet, and the required sewage treatment system setback is 150 feet, from the OHW. Front yard setback of 40 feet, side yard of 20 feet, and rear yard of 50 feet, are required. Wetland setbacks must be 75 feet from the wetland OHW or 20 feet from the wetland delineation, whichever is greater. All lots meet the German Lake OHW, frontyard, rear yard, and side yard setback requirements. Wetlands are present in Lots 1. 2, 3, 5. 6, and 7, these lots meet the wetland setback requirements. Frontage and Lot Width The Scandia Shoreland District for Natural Environment lakes requires a minimum lot width of 300 feet. For lots on the cul-de-sac, the lot width is measured at the front setback line. In addition, lots on a cul de sac must have 60 feet of road frontage. German Lake Vistas Page 3 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia The Applicant requests variances for lot width for Lot 5 and Lot 7. Lot 5 is on the cul de sac and has a widtli of 60 feet measured at the front setback. Lot 5 does not meet the 300-foot lot width requirement Lot 7 has a width of 120 feet and also does not meet the 300-foot lot width requirement The Applicant states the lots are designed with lesser width in order to protect the wetlands, noting that no wetland impacts are proposed. In order to maintain lot widths that meet Ordinance standards, the cul-de-sac would need to be extended northward and through the wetlands. In reference to the variance request, the Zoning Ordinance considers hardship to mean: 1. That the property cannot be put to reasonable use under the conditions in the Ordinance. The Hardship is that strict enforcement of the lot width requirement would prevent Lots 5 and 7 from garnmg access to the cul-de-sac as designed Redesigning the cul-de-sac for wider lots would not be possible without impacting wetlands 2. That the hardship is not caused by the landowner, but is due to circumstances unique to the property. The unique circumstance is the wetlands and their location 3. That the variance would not alter the essential character of the area. Proposed Lots 5 and 7 are unusual in shape but the Planners do not find the shape of the lots to be altering the essential character of the area. The variance allows for protection of wetlands which contribute to the character of the area Buildable Land One acre of contiguous buildable land is required on each lot. The Scandia Zoning Ordinance stipulates that on a Natural Environment lake, the buildable area is the lot area outside of setbacks, but measured from 150 feet from the OHW rather than from the 200 foot setback, and land outside of any floodway, drainageway, or drainage easement. The buildable area for each lot is reported on the site plan ranging from 1.0 to 3.0 acres The 8 lots meet the contiguous buildable land requirement Lot Coverar e/Inipervious Surface The Ordinance allows a maximum impervious surface area of 25 percent for each lot. The plans report that each lot will have between .15 and .25 acres of impervious surface or 3 to 5 percent below the maximum_ impervious area allowed. Sewage Treatment System Locations The site plan shows proposed sewage treatment areas and boring locations. All proposed sewage treatment system locations are outside of the 150 foot setback from the OHW and outside of the wetland setbacks In its letter dated November 15, 2006 the Washington Conservation District has noted areas of sensitive groundwater, particularly on the south portion of the site. The Planners recommend that additional soil borings be taken for sewage treatments stems of Lots 5 and 6 the number of borin s to be determined b Waslington County Department of Health and Environment through the sewage treatments stem permitting process. German Lake Vistas Page 4 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia Streets The Applicant proposes a new City street, Leeward Court North, connecting to Scandia Trail North. Leeward Court North is a cul-de-sac 1,659 feet in length. The Scandia Development Code does not regulate the length of cul-de-sacs. Leeward Court North is located so that street connections from future development could cause the cul-de-sac to be shorter. The Applicant provided two ghost plats to illustrate options of how the surrounding property could be subdivided in the future. One option shows a possible future street off of Leeward Court North, while the second option uses Leeward Court North and Scandia Trail for access. Leeward Court North would be a new access point on State Highway 97. The Minnesota Department of Transportation provided comments in a letter dated January 18, 2007. The letter states Mn/DOT drainage and access permit requirements. The Planners recommend that approval of the preliminary plat be subject to the panting of any required Mn/DOT permits. Driveway Location Lots 1 through 4 have driveway access from 218th Street North. Lots 5 through 8 have access from the proposed cul-de-sac, Leeward Court North. The Planners find adequate site distances for proposed dnvewas on 218th Street North. Driveways are located as to avoid the wetlands Low Floor Elevation The Shoreland Ordinance requires that the lowest floor elevation must be 2 feet above the 100 year flood elevation or 3 feet above the highest known water level, whichever is greater. The German Lake highest recorded water level is 957.13 feet. All low floor elevations are 3 feet above this level, 960.13. The Preliminary Plat does not report the 100 year flood elevation. The Carnelian Marine Watershed District comments dated January 17, 2007 identify the German Lake 100 year flood elevation at 958.9 feet. Therefore, the Preliminary Plat needs to be revised so that the lowest floor elevation is 960.9 feet Park Dedication/Fee The subject property is not within the park search areas or contain the proposed trails designated in the Scandia Comprehensive Parks Plan. The park dedication fee, in lieu of land, is $1,500 per lot, with credit given for the first lot. The park fee due for the project is $10 500. Landscaping Plan The Landscaping Plan shows a mixture of 30 deciduous trees (Northwood Red Maple, River Birch, Common Hackberry, Northern Pine Oak, and Swamp White Oak) with 10 Red Pine. These tree species are listed in the recommended plant materials within the Zoning Ordinance. Five trees are required for each dwelling unit the 40 trees planned meet the minimum requirement. The tree sizes and species proposed conform to ordinance requirements. Raingardens are proposed for each lot. The notes on the Landscaping Plan indicate that the construction and vegetation of the raingardens should be approved by the Carnelian Marine Watershed District. The Planners German Lake Vistas Page 5 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia recommend that the Applicant provide background information and instructions for care and maintenance of the raingardens to the property owners. Wetlands and Waterbodies There are five wetlands on the subject property. Approval of the wetland delineation and wetland delineation report must be provided by Washington Conservation District The Shoreland Ordinance requires that vegetative buffers 50 feet in width must be maintained around wetlands Type 3, 4, and 5. Wetlands 1, 2, and 3 are Type 3 (Lots 1 and 2 and east of Leeward Court North). The shoreline of German Lake also must have a 50 foot vegetative buffer, except each lot may have a lake access corridor of up to 50 feet wide. The Planners recommend that the buffer requirement and a map showing the wetland delineation, setbacks and vegetative buffers be included in the covenants The Shoreland Ordinance regulates cutting of vegetation along the shore. The Planners recommend that the following vegetative cutting restrictions be included in the covenants The Ordinance prohibits cutting or removal of trees over 6 inches in diameter, measured two feet above ground level within the setback (200 feet from OHW). The Ordinance states that dead or diseased trees or trees posing a documented safety hazard, may be removed. A certificate of compliance must be obtained prior to removal of any trees within the building setback. Carnelian Marine Watershed District Comments The Carnelian Marine Watershed District (CMWD) provided comments in a memo dated January 17, 2007. The comments outline additional information and modifications that need to be addressed relating to drainage, erosion control, wetlands and stormwater management. Tlie Planners recommend that a condition of the Preliminary Plat approval be that a CMWD permit is obtained and comments in the letter from the CMWD dated January 17, 2007 are addressed. City of Scandia Engineer Comments The City Engineer provided comments in memos dated December 8, 2006 and December 18, 2006. The Applicant's engineer provided a written response to comments dated January 9, 2007 with the revised site plans. After reviewing the revised plans, the engineers provided comments on remaining issues to be addressed in a memo dated January 19, 2007. The Planners recommend that a condition of the Preliminary Plat approval be that the Engineer's review finds that the comments of the letter from BRA dated January 19 2007 are sully addressed. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Comments The Department of Natural Resources provided comments in an email dated December 21, 2006 and was responded to by the Applicant in an email dated December 22, 2006. One comment related to the buildable area calculation. For Natural Environment Lakes, the Scandia Ordinance uses a 150 foot distance from the OHW rather than using the setback for buildable area calculations. The second comment addressed the wetland between Lots 5 and 6 (Wetland 4). The Planners confirmed with the Washington Conservation District that Wetland 4 is above the German Lake OHW. German Lake Vistas Page 6 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia Both the DNR comments of December 21, 2006 and the Washington Conservation District comments of January 17, 2007 addressed Wetland 4. One concern is that the wetland separates Lot 6's home site from the high ground on the peninsula further west on the lot. The Planners recommend that the covenants include a note that for Lot 6, any proposed crossing of the wetland, such as a footbridge, must be approved by th Washington Conservation District. Xcel Electric Transmission Line Easement There is a power line easement crossing the subject property, Lots 1 thru 5. Xcel Energy uses the easement to access its power lines. No landscaping or structures are proposed within the easement. Lot 2 shows the sewage treatment system area partially within the easement. Xcel Energy's representative stated to the Planner that a septic drainfield in the easement may be damaged by Xcel activity within the easement, such as a truck driving over the drainfield. The Planners recommend that Lot 2's sewage treatment system be located outside of the Xcel easement. Covenants The draft covenants address land use, building type and size, fencing, and easements. The draft covenants indicate that a minimum square footage for homes will be stipulated, though is not defined in the draft. The Planners recommend that the covenants include the wetland buffer, shoreline buffer and vegetative cutting regulations discussed above. ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission can recommend: Approval 2. Approval with conditions 3. Denial with findings 4. Table the request PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planners recommend approval of the variance request for Lot 5 to have a width of 60 feet and for Lot 7 to have a width of 120 feet, as shown on the Preliminary Plat dated January 9, 2007. The Planners determine that the criteria for granting a variance have been met based on the following findings: Strict enforcement of the lot width requirement would prevent Lots 5 and 7 from gaining access to the cul-de-sac. 2. Redesigning the cul-de-sac so that Lots 5 and 7 conform to the width requirement would cause impact on wetlands. There are no wetland impacts in the preliminary plat as proposed. 3. The unique circumstance is the wetlands and their location, and is not a condition created by the landowner. German Lake Vistas Page 7 January 19, 2007 City of Scandia 4. The proposed Lots 5 and 7 are unusual in shape, but do not alter the essential character of the area. The variance allows for protection of wetlands, which contribute to the character of the area. The Planners recommend approval of the German Lake Vistas preliminary plat dated January 9, 2007 received by the City of Scandia on January 11, 2007, with the following conditions: 1. That the Final Plat is consistent with the Preliminary Plat dated January 9, 2007. 2. That the City Engineer's review finds that the comments of the letter from BRA dated January 19, 2007 are fully addressed. 3. That additional soil borings be taken for the sewage treatment systems of Lots 5 and 6, the number of borings to be detennined by Washington County Department of Health and Environment through the sewage treatment system permitting process. All sewage treatment systems must be approved by Washington County. 4. That Washington Conservation District approves the wetland delineation and wetland delineation report. 5. That all required permits from the Minnesota Department of Transportation are granted. 6.

Farrington From: Torry Kraftson [tkraftson@mfra.com] Sent: Friday, December 22, 2006 7:47 AM To: Berry E. Farrington Subject: RE: German Lake Vistas- DNR comments Berry/Travis, I have the following response to the comments. 1. The strucure setback is 200 feet from the OHW, but the ordinance requires an acre buildable and specifically allows that acre buildable to be measured to the septic setback of 150 feet from the OHW. The hatched area represents the buildable area per ordinance and demonstrates that it is greater than 1 acre on each lot. The method of determining this area has been confirmed by the County and the Township. The 200-foot building setback is also noted on the preliminary plat. 2. We have surveyed the elevation of the mouth of wetland 4 (between lots 5 and 6) and it is above the ordinary high elevation of the lake. 3. There will be no public utilities installed and no dewatering is anticipated. 4. There will be no impacts or construction below the ordinary high elevation of the lake. Additionally, there are no wetland impacts proposed. If you have any additional rnaestions or comments or would like to discuss these issues further, please feel free to give me a call. Thanks. I will be on Vacation between Christmas and New's Years. Sincerely, Torry Kraftson Hult and Associates/MFRA P.O.

Thanks - Berry -----Original Message ----- From: Travis Germundson [mailto:Travis.Germundson@dnr.state.mn.us] Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 2:34 PM To: Berry E. Farrington Subject: Fwd: German Lake Vistas I have reviewed the materials on the German Lake Vista Preliminary Plat, received December 14, 2006, located within the shoreland district of German Lake (82-56P). Based upon my review of the documents I have the following comments to offer: 1. The required structure setback for an unsewered lot on a Natural Environment Lake is 1 200'. This setback requirement should be factored into the area exclusive of setbacks as illustrated in a dotted pattern on the plat. 2. It appears that the OHWL extends into a shallow fringe wetland area between Lots 5 and 6. This could have impacts on the proposed building pads located on those lots along with the lot area. Therefore, I would recommend that a detail survey be conducted in that location to document the extend of that boundary. 3. If construction involves dewatering in excess of 10,000 gallons per day or 1 million gallons per year, a DNR appropriation permit is needed. 4. Any activity, such as placing a stormwater outfall below the OHWL, which alters the course, current, or cross-section, is under the jurisdiction of the DNR and may require a DNR permit. Thank you for submitting the preliminary plat to the DNR for review. If you have any questions, please contact me at 651-772-7914. Travis Germundson Area Hydrologist DNR Waters 1200 Warner Rd.

Control Section 8212 / Ref. Point: 007+00.600 Note: This letter is being re -issued as the previous letter, dated January 4, 2007, referred to a left turn lane that is no longer required.. Dear Ms. Peterson: The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) had reviewed the above referenced plat in compliance with Minnesota Statute 505.03, subdivision 2, Plats. Before any further development, please address the following issues: A westbound right turn lane is required. Please refer to Mn/DOT Road Design Manual (http://www.dot.state.mii.us/tecsup/rdm/), Figure 5-3.01C, for details. If you wish to coordinate with Mn/DOT's Mill and Overlay project, the construction of the turn lanes will need to be completed by 9/01/2007. That will allow Mn/DOT to overlay the entire section. The current cross section for TH 97 in this area includes 2 — 12 foot lanes and 10 foot shoulders. The cross section for TH 97 with the necessary turn lane should include a 12 foot right -turn lane and a 12 foot through lane. The developer would be, responsible for the 12 I'Ool right turn lane. Please contact Jerome Adams, of Mn/DOT's Metro Design Section, at 651-634-2162, if you have any questions regarding this issue. According to the submitted plat, all stormwater run-off is directed away from Mn/DOT right of way. However, since the proposed project includes plans for turn lanes, a drainage permit is required, to ensure proper design of the new roadside ditch, etc. Additional right of way may be needed to construct the proper sized/shaped ditch. Please contact Rusty Nereng at 651-634-2111 with any questions regarding this issue. Any use of or work within or affecting Mn/DOT right of way requires a permit. An access pernlit is required. The Permit application must include plans showing the required right turn lane and bypass lane, including signing and striping. As mentioned above, a drainage permit is also required. Permit forms are available from MnDOT's utility website at www.dot.state.nm.us/tecsup/utility . Please include one 11 x 17 plan set and one full size plan set with each permit application. An equal opportunity employer Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig (651-582- 1447) of MnDOT's Metro Permits Section. • Please send a copy of the final plat for Mn/DOT review to the following address: Brad Canaday Mn/DOT — Metro East Surveys 3485 Hadley Ave. N.

The plans were found to not meet the City's requirements and standards. Details regarding our findings and recommendations follow below. Background The development site is located north of State Highway 97 (Scandia Trail North) and south of 218th Street North, along the west side of German Lake. Currently the south portion of the site is agricultural and the north part of the site is grassland and woods. Runoff from the site drains to five on -site wetlands and to German Lake. The five wetlands ultimately drain to the lake. 4 rural residential lots are proposed along the south side of 218th Street North, and a new road, Leeward Court North is proposed off of Scandia Trail North to serve an additional 4 lots. The road extension and adjacent land are proposed to be treated by a storm water pond and two infiltration basins before discharging to German Lake. Drainage The submitted plan was reviewed for drainage. A summary of recommendations follows below. 1. A riprapped outlet should be provided for the infiltration basin. 2. A pipe should be provided under the Lot 1 driveway as an outlet for Wetland 2. 3. 2-ftof freeboard should be provided between the 100-yr HWL of ponds, wetlands, and infiltration basins and adjacent low home elevations. The 100-yr HWL of ponds, wetlands, and infiltration basins should be determined by the more conservative method of modeling them at their outlet elevations in case they fail to infiltrate. The 100-yr HWL of the pond and infiltration basins should be adjusted. Water Quantity The submitted hydraulic calculations and plans meet City requirements. Water Quality The submitted water quality calculations were reviewed. A summary of recommendations follows below.

The pond and infiltration basin should be rearranged so that the pond intercepts the majority of direct road runoff prior to discharge to the infiltration basin to prevent infiltration basin failure. 5. The City requires ponds have a mean depth (volume divided by surface area) greater than or equal to 4 feet in order to allow for proper water quality functioning. With such a small site, a mean depth of 3 feet for the pond is acceptable. Slopes below the 10:1 bench may be adjusted to a maximum of 3:1 (the City standard) to meet the 3 feet mean depth requirement. Other Concerns 6. All pond, wetland, and infiltration basin areas should be located in drainage and utility easements. The infiltration basin is not shown in an easement on the preliminary plat. 7.

Torry Kraftson, P.E. P.O. Box 37 Forest Lake, MN 55025 (651) 484-3130 Project Completion Date: Fall 2007 RECOMMENDATION: Withhold permit approval until the Buffer, Grading Drainage and Erosion Control Plans and Plat have been revised to address the following comments to the satisfaction of the CMWD board and Engineer. COMMENTS: A. General Comments and Drainage Plan Sheet: I . Applicant has paid the $700.00 permit application fee but still needs to submit the $2,800.00 cash surety. The cash surety (less expense related to any non-compliance with permit) is refundable once the project is completed and approved by CMWD engineer. 2. This project is located adjacent to German Lake. German Lake is a high quality resource that is a landlocked basin. Proposed development is an 8-lot rural residential subdivision. Project will variances from the City subdivision ordinance for road frontage and lot width on some lots. 3. Drainage plan and plat sheets are incomplete and do not include all of the required submittal information. a. Plat will also need to identify 100-yr flood elevation for each storage basin (natural or manmade) and lowest allowable floor elevation for each building site. The 100-yr Flood Elevation for German Lake is 958.9 ft. Low floor elevations need to be a minimum of 3-ft above this elevation. b. The drainage easements also need to be shown and need to encompass the 100-yr flood elevations for all basins, including those that are typically dry. Managers John Bower Richard Bohrer Richard Caldecott Victoria Dupre Steve Kronmiller 430-2793 433-5461 439-7385 439-8266 433-4042 CMWD - (CMWD Permit Application No. 07-002) 01 /17/2007 Page 3 B. Erosion Control Plan: 1. Erosion control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer and Washington Conservation District. 2. More detail is needed on protection of infiltration basin capacity during construction activities. 3. Developer's agreement with City should include requirement for home builders to implement erosion and sediment control plans for construction of individual homes and driveways. Protection of the open space area and infiltration capacity of the landlocked depression and wetlands needs to be a priority. Erosion Control Plans for individual lots, need to be approved by Washington Conservation District and/or City Engineer. 4. If applicant is proposing to use the proposed infiltration basin as a temporary sediment basin, then the erosion control plan must include grading of the temporary sediment basin which shall restrict grading to no closer that 2-ft above the proposed final grade of the infiltration basin until the site is stabilized with permanent vegetation. C. Wetlands: 1. The road and several driveways encroach on wetland buffers and possibly the wetland itself D. Stormwater Management Facility Maintenance Agreements, and Recordation and Easement Declaration: When a developer proposes to construct a wet detention basin, outlet structure, culvert, outfall structure, or other stormwater management facilities (buffers, natural or constructed infiltration basins, stormwater ponds, treatment swales or other stormwater management BMP's) the developer must submit a maintenance agreement. The maintenance agreement shall specify the methods, schedule, and responsible parties for maintenance. The agreement must provide that the maintenance activities will be performed by either the property owner or the local government. The executed maintenance agreement must be recorded with the County within 10 days of the issuance date of the permit. CMWD - (CMWD Permit Application No. 07-002) 01/17/2007 Page 2 c. Native vegetation buffers in accordance with CMWD requirements need to be established around the existing wetlands and proposed basins. Buffers are measured from the delineated edge of wetland. d. Drainage Plan sheets need to be included with the rest of the construction plans and need to identify the subwatershed divides, the elevation, discharge and live storage information for each basin for the 2-yr, 10-yr and 100-yr storm events. Dead storage volumes provided to meet the CMWD's volume control requirement also needs to be identified on the drainage plan sheet. e. Provide on -going maintenance plans for the proposed, infiltration, treatment and storage basins and identify party responsible (and documentation) for implementation of plan. If it is the City provide a letter from City that they will be maintained as part of their road or other maintenance program and provide them with a copy of the maintenance plan. If a homeowners group will be responsible for the maintenance provide a review copy of the declarations / homeowners agreement that makes that responsibility legally binding on the homeowners for CMWD approval prior to filing with the County. f. A plan Sheet delineating the buffers is needed. Several of the proposed driveways, road and a couple structures appear to be located within the buffer areas. This needs to be corrected. Information on CMWD minimum buffer widths was previously provided to Developers Engineer. g. Strawbales should not be used for ditch checks. B. Drainage Computations: 1. Expand on the narrative provided describing methods and assumptions include supporting documentation. For example, what assumptions were used to determine the infiltration rates, siting of infiltration basins and raingardens? Lots should be assumed fully developed to the amount allowed by City and County zoning requirements. 2. Drainage computations need to include the entire property, including areas draining directly to German Lake and offsite areas draining to the property. 100-yr Flood Elevations for landlocked basins need to use the 100-yr 10-day Snowmelt event as the minimum design event for determining allowable low floor elevations for landlocked basins. If the landlocked basin is located in the easement area then it is acceptable to assume the positive overflow elevation of the basin as the 100- yr flood elevation for that basin. 3. The discharges to German Lake which is a landlocked basin. Therefore both rate and volume for the 2-yr, 10-yr, and 100-yr 24-hr storm events must be must be restricted to predevelopment conditions. More information on design of proposed infiltration basins and raingardens including supporting documentation, soil borings, separation from groundwater etc. The proposed infiltration at the end of the road appears to encroach on the wetland and probably doesn't meet the separation from groundwater requirement. 4. Determination of curve numbers for existing conditions must be based on the soil types for each subwatershed. Information submitted indicates that the site is a mix of type A, B, C, D soils as assumed in the drainage computations. Pre -development conditions need to assume a pre - agricultural land use. Assumption of ungrazed meadow is acceptable. For developed conditions lawns should be assumed as type B soils even if type A soils are existing, based upon the assumption that the owner will import black dirt to make a lawn. 5. A boring is needed for the proposed infiltration basin to prove soils are conducive to infiltration at the rates included in the design.

Redesigning the cul-de-sac so that Lots 5 and 7 conform to the width requirement would cause impact on wetlands. There are no wetland impacts in the preliminary plat as proposed. 3. The unique circumstance is the wetlands and their location, and is not a condition created by the landowner. 4. The proposed Lots 5 and 7 are unusual in shape, but do not alter the essential character of the area. The variance allows for protection of wetlands, which contribute to the character of the area. FURTHER BE IT RESOLVED, that the following conditions of approval shall be met: 1. That the Final- Plat is consistent with the Preliminary Plat dated January 9, 2007. 2. That the City Engineer's review finds that that the comments of the letter from BRA dated January 19, 2007 are fully addressed. 3. That additional soil borings be taken for the sewage treatment systems of Lots 5 and 6, the number of borings to be determined by Washington County Department of Health and Environment through the sewage treatment system permitting process. All sewage treatment systems must be approved by Washington County. 4. That Washington Conservation District approves the wetland delineation and wetland delineation report. 5. That all required permits from the Minnesota Department of Transportation are granted. 6. That the Carnelian Marine Watershed District permit is obtained and comments in the letter from the Carnelian Marine Watershed District dated January 17, 2007 are addressed.

County of Washington ) I, the undersigned, being the duly qualified and appointed Clerk of the City of Scandia, Minnesota do hereby certify that I have carefully compared the foregoing resolution adopted at a meeting of the Scandia City Council on , 2007 with the original thereof on file in my office and the same is a full, true and complete transcript thereof. Witness my hand as such City Clerk and the corporate seal of the City of Scandia, Washington County, Minnesota this day of , 2007. Anne Hurlburt Administrator/ Clerk City of Scandia January 19, 2007 Mayor and City Council of Scandia Scandia Planning Commission 14727 2091h Street North P.O. Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 7 � Sad RECEIVED JAN 2 Z Z007 CITY OF SCANDIA This letter is in response to the proposal for development of property near German Lake that is being proposed by German Lake Ventures, LLC to be considered by the City of Scandia on January 23, 2007. In consideration of this proposal, the City of Scandia should be aware of the policies and guidance provided by the Governor and the Minnesota State Legislature. The Minnesota Legislature has long recognized the important value of the state's water resources and has taken action to preserve and protect these waters and their adjacent lands. The Legislature has adopted Statewide Standards for Management of Shoreland Areas which are codified in Minn. Rules Chapter 6120. The Minnesota DNR has also developed a Guide for Buying and Managing Shoreland which states that: Water is one of Minnesota's most valuable resources. Lakes, rivers, and wetlands are important assets to Minnesotans. The "Land of 10,000 Lakes" actually has 11,842 lakes over 10 acres in size and more than 63,000 miles of natural streams and rivers. An adequate supply of clear fresh water is vital to life, agriculture, commerce, and industry. Recreational use of waters provides enjoyment and contributes to the state's economy. Water provides many benefits to Minnesotans, and it is important to protect and manage it. High -quality water is essential for a healthy state economy. Managing public waters and adjacent shorelands helps maintain and improve water quality. Careful management also protects and improves visual and scenic values -- qualities not easily measured until they are lost. Water and near shore areas are critical to health and well being of fish, wildlife, and native plants. Fish and wildlife are highly dependent on vegetated shorelines to provide healthy spawning areas, as well as habitat for feeding, resting, and mating life stages. Fishing and hunting are benefits of good shoreline management practices. Wildlife observation is best along riparian areas with healthy vegetation. Education, legislation, and good environmental practices by Minnesotans are important to maintaining and improving water quality and scenic resources in Minnesota. In light of the State's policies on the protection of waters, Scandia Government should consider the proposal being presented by German Lake Ventures and the harm that the condensed development will bring with their proposal. Granting variances for this project would be contrary to the State's policies on water protection. I will be attending the public hearing on this matter before the Scandia Council and Planning Commission and intend to provide further comments at that time to clarify what I believe are errors and omissions on the proposal being presented to Scandia Government. Thank you for your consideration. r� ` John Lindell A111� Fe 4 co g � F � - K 00 ns�� t!tj 8 ao m m 8; V O W N to ? rD t0 a nC � V A cc to O N JF J W O MI > FWt + H• FFFF F FHF H_ FNF to 8 0 00 c00 z�� m p mmp� D O c oc0 1 m�0 fiT �oo�vc . r orc� N11o0 O g m av w- 'MW AVE y Omm py z> Ir D ZDaZ z g ;;u c�'izai 0 X�am -nM �ip>3m y F� H� 2 rD D m CSc In D p Opp C70 Gl N ;u 2 O.. �8 > O �' �OwO (n0 m 84— tmn�D ��Az l:�-i1 '+Omo o y I N Cll �1 "W OR m Fi ti o�000 �m �� 1p c z z N�_ m OpITI imm < y --- F Dri _n �+00 05 a >3 m m� � " y m o� z ; z M Fri Z o m m-fo Zmr fA 3 Cy) 9Do m�2-0 zo KE xu mas7. =N Nyyy 2 y a m m �SaiDa 'n O p �_ O SD-o �%� V557 1 D � " O CT p D m f� _i I Ci.

Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: . While there has been a practice of holding public hearings for minor subdivisions, the Development Code does not technically require a hearing. • At a workshop meeting with the Town Board and Planning Commission on November 28, 2006, Attorney Hebert recommended that the ordinance be amended. The Board and Commission agreed that a hearing should be scheduled at the January Planning Commission meeting. • The draft ordinance, prepared by the City Attorney, would require a public hearing by the Planning Commission or Council, with a published notice and mailed notice to property owners within 500 feet, for all minor subdivisions. Recommendation: I recommend that the Planning Commission hold the public hearing and make a recommendation to the Council whether or not to adopt the ordinance. Attachments/ .

Notice of the purpose, time and place of such public hearing shall be published in the official newspaper at least 10 days prior to the day of hearing. Mailed notice of the hearing shall be made to each of the owners of all property located within a minimum of 500 feet of the property being subdivided and such other persons as the City Council or Planning Commission may direct. The hearing shall be held within sixty (60) days of the date the request for subdivision is presented to the Clerk/Administrator unless approval of the Commissioner of Transportation and/or the County Highway Engineer is required, in which event final action on the subdivision request shall not be taken until after the comments and recommendations of the Commissioner of -Transportation and/or County Highway Commissioner have been received or until the 60 day review period has elapsed. Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Scandia this 23rd day of January, 2007. Dennis D. Seefeldt, Mayor ATTEST: Anne Hurlburt, Clerk/Administrator 2007002 Meeting Date: Agenda Item: 7/23/07 PG �/ c� C G S-C Planning Commission/City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209th St. North, P.O. Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Conduct a hearing and take comments from the public on the amendment to the Scandia Development Code regarding Open Space and Conservation Subdivisions. Following testimony and discussion, approve the amendment and adopt as part of the Scandia Development Code. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Over the last few years, as Scandia has received more open space subdivision requests, it has become apparent that the ordinance was in need of revision. The major issue was the matter of density bonuses. As the ordinance is currently written, it is very easy to make an argument for 100 percent bonuses. Thus developers come in to the community with concept plans based upon 100 percent bonuses. (Often, the developers have either purchased or optioned land based upon maximum bonus density.) The community has found itself in the position of having to argue against the full bonus. • There are a number of factors that make a project eligible for bonuses, including historic preservation, affordable housing, community sewage and water systems, preservation of woodlands etc. The planning commission has revised the list of eligible bonus activities, assigned new values, and determined that the maximum bonus allowed is 100 percent. • A key difference in the new Open Space Conservation Ordinance is that a potential applicant must demonstrate that he or she is meeting one or a combination of eligible criteria in order to claim a bonus. Without demonstrating addressing criteria, an applicant will not receive the bonuses. • This ordinance amendment will change the name of these subdivisions from Open Space Development to Open Space Conservation Subdivision. Page 1 of 2 01/19/07 Recommendation: • That the Planning Commission and City Council hear and consider testimony from the public regarding the proposed changes in the ordinance. • That taking into account those comments, the Planning Commission and Council either modify the ordinance or adopt the changes to the Open Space Conservation Subdivisions Sections of the Scandia Development Code.

Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Conduct a hearing and take comments from the public on Ordinance Number 98, Woodland and Tree Preservation. Following testimony and discussion, approve the amendment and adopt as part of the Scandia Development Code. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Last spring the Town Board, Planning Commission and Rural Landscape Preservation Committee began discussion about the need for regulating tree removal as part of the subdivision review process. • In the fall of 2006 the Town Board and Planning Commission held several workshops to develop the draft Woodland and Tree Preservation regulations. • The Woodland and Tree Preservation regulations state that applicants must submit a Woodland Preservation Plan if requesting: 1. major subdivision, 2. minor subdivision, and 3. all requests that require a Landscaping Plan, when significant trees or significant woodlands exist in the proposed construction zone. • The Woodland Preservation Plan identifies existing significant trees and woodlands on the site, identifies those woods and trees proposed to be removed, and shows the proposed planting of the required replacement trees and woodlands. • The regulations define the required number and size of replacement trees, species requirements for replacement trees, and required and recommended tree protective measures. Required warranties and performance guarantees are also addressed. • The Woodland and Tree Preservation regulations would be inserted as Section 9.11 into the Development Standards, Chapter 2 of the Scandia Development Code. The portions of Section 9 which follow would be renumbered accordingly.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE REQUEST: The Applicant requests a variance to allow a new septic system that does not meet the New Scandia Development Code setback requirements. The variance would be to allow a setback of 33.5 feet from the sewage treatment system to the Bone Lake Ordinary High Water level and a setback of 45 feet from the sewage treatment system to the well. The property is at 23409 Lofton Avenue North on the west shore of Bone Lake (Attachment 1). It is approximately a quarter of an acre and is a nonconforming lot. There is an existing 1,076 square foot house on the property with an existing well and septic system. The Applicant is not proposing a new building on the site but repairs would be made to the existing structure. A new well is also proposed. The application states that the existing septic system is believed to be an open -bottomed wood tank. An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity Rodgers Variance Page 2 City of Scandia November 30, 2006 REVISED January 16, 2007 BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission tabled the request on December 5, 2006 so that additional information could be obtained from the Applicant. The Planners sent a letter listing the information needed (Attachment 2). The subject property is zoned Agriculture District, Shoreland Overlay. The property is located on Bone Lake, a Recreational Development Lake. The Ordinary High Water (OHW) level of Bone Lake is 909.1 feet. The Scandia Development Code allows the issuance of a variance, "where it is determined that, by reason of exceptional circumstances, the strict enforcement of the Zoning Regulations would cause unnecessary hardship." The Zoning Ordinance considers hardship to mean; 1.) that the property cannot be put to reasonable use under the conditions in the Ordinance, 2.) that the hardship is not caused by the landowner, but is due to circumstances unique to the property, and 3.) that the variance would not alter the essential character of the area. EVALUATION OF THE REQUEST: Additional Information Provided by the Applicant The Applicant sent a letter in response to the request for additional information (Attachment 3). Below is a list of the comments from the Planners' letter with a description of the additional information provided by the Applicant. 1. Detailed septic system design, including dimensions of the proposed septic area and demonstration that this area is adequate for the sewage treatment system. The Applicant provided the system design by Larson Plumbing and Heating (Attachment 4). The system is a peat biofilter treatment system. The overall dimensions of the septic tanks, lift station and biofilter are 30 feet by 10 feet. The proposed septic area shown on the site plan is also 30 by 10 feet. 2. A letter from Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment indicating that the proposed sewage treatment system design is acceptable for this location. Pete Ganzel, Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment provided a letter describing the system (Attachment 5). The letter states that the proposed treatment is appropriate for the requested reduced setback from Bone Lake. The letter also states that the system will be subject to an annually renewed monitoring and mitigation plan. Washington County continues to be the government body responsible for Individual Sewage Treatment System permitting and monitoring. 3. The area in square feet that is in question regarding the title issues described on the survey. The Applicant's letter (Attachment 3) states that the area in question cannot be determined based on the existing legal description. Washington County tax data report that the subject property is a quarter acre. Based on the configuration of the adjacent parcels, the road and the lake, the Planners expect that the area in question would not be so large as to alter the nature of the sewage treatment system design and location. Rodgers Variance Page 3 November 30, 2006 City of Scandia REVISED January 16, 2007 4. Determination whether land may be available for purchase or if an easement may be obtained from adjoining property owners, including across the street, for the sewage treatment system. The Applicant's letter (Attachment 3) states that the adjacent properties are not large enough to accommodate a septic system for the subject property. The Applicant states he has been unable to contact the property owner across Lofton Avenue, and has indicated to the Planner that he has tried to make contact. 5. Staking of the location of Bone Lake Ordinary High Water level. The Applicant's letter states that he requested that the surveyor stake the OHW. The Planners' site visit on January 5, 2007 found that the OHW was not staked. The Planners measured 33.5 feet from the sewage treatment system location to the edge of the lake. Additional information: The Department of Natural Resources provided comment that the variance request appears reasonable given the site constraints (Attachment 6). Sewage Treatment System The Applicant proposes a septic tank and drainfield to replace the existing system on this nonconforming lot. The Applicant wishes to sell the property which necessitates an upgraded sewage treatment system. The type of the existing system is not known but thought to be an open -bottomed wood tank. There is not adequate space on the parcel for a secondary sewage treatment area. The Applicant is seeking an ISTS permit from the Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment. The Planners recommend that if the variance is granted that a condition of approval be a detennination from Washington County Department of Public Health that the proposed sewage treatment system can safely provide for long-tenn sewage disposal needs will not Jeopardize the water quality of Bone Lake or groundwater qualm, and that a permit is granted. Setbacks The subject property is an existing nonconforming lot that is smaller than would be allowed in a standard subdivision today. Due to its small size of .25 acres, the parcel is not big enough to allow for the proposed septic system to meet setback requirements. The Shoreland Ordinance requires a 75-foot setback from the OHW for sewage treatment systems. A 100-foot separation between the well and drainfield are also required, The setback requirements are in place to provide for public health and safety by preventing contamination of surface water and groundwater. A variance to the OHW setback and the well setback would be required in order to replace the existing septic system. The Applicant requests a setback of 33.5 feet from the QHW and a setback of approximately 45 feet from the proposed replacement well. Strict enforcement of the setback requirements would prevent construction of the sewage treatment system and therefore prevent the sale of the property for residential use. Construction of a new sewage treatment system that meets Washington County Department of Public Health standards would better safeguard the environment than use of the current system. Rodgers Variance Page 4 City of Scandia November 30, 2006 REVISED January 16, 2007 Nonconforming Structure The New Scandia Zoning Ordinance, Section 12, addresses nonconformities. The existing house is a nonconforming structure. The Ordinance allows repairs costing up to 50% of the appraised value to be made to nonconforming structures without a variance. Improvements worth more than 50% of the home's appraised value would require multiple variances in this case, such as lot size, buildable area, OHW and front yard setbacks, and maximum impervious surface requirements. Construction of a new structure on the subject property would also require variances. Therefore, future improvements to the existing house may not exceed 50% of its appraised value. The Applicant should understand that if the variance is granted, that it applies only to replacement of the sewage treatment system. The granting of a variance for the sewage treatment system does not imply the granting of any future variance requests, such as to construct a new home on the site or to make improvements to the existing structure worth more than 50% of the appraised value of the existing structure. Potential Title Issues The survey notes that there are potential title issues. The surveyor indicated that because the legal description includes "half of a Government Lot" the southern property line is ambiguous. However, the ambiguity results in a potential gap between the subject property and the neighboring property to the south - not an overlap and property line dispute. Also, the legal description includes "East of the Public Highway" which could be interpreted as east of the centerline or east of the edge of the right-of-way. The Applicant's December 20, 2006 letter reports that the title issues will be resolved within 90 days. Because the variance request is for the sewage treatment system and not for changes close to the property line such as a fence, the planners find that consideration of the variance request would not need to wait for resolution of the potcntial title issues. ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission can recommend: 1. Approval 2. Approval with conditions 3. Denial with findings 4. Table the request PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: The Planners recommend approval, with conditions, of the variance at 23409 North Lofton Avenue to allow a setback of 33.5 feet from the sewage treatment system to Bone Lake Ordinary High Water level and a setback of 45 feet from the sewage treatment system to the well. The Planners determine that the criteria for granting a variance have been met based on the following findings: 1. Strict enforcement of the setback requirements would prevent construction of the sewage treatment system, which is required in order for the Applicant to sell the property for residential use. Rodgers Variance Page 5 November 30, 2006 City of Scandia REVISED January 16, 2007 2. Construction of a new sewage treatment system that meets Washington County Department of Public Health standards would better safeguard the environment than use of the current system. 3. The hardship is caused by the unique features of the lot, that it is an existing quarter acre lot created before the Ordinance standards were in place. 4. If the Washington County Department of Health and Environment finds that the proposed sewage treatment system can safely provide for long-term sewage disposal needs, and will not jeopardize the water quality of Bone Lake or groundwater quality (a recommended condition of approval), the variance would not alter the essential character of the area. The replacement sewage treatment system allows for use of the existing nonconforming structure. The Planners recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. That the sewage treatment system is located as shown on the site plan dated November 10, 2006, and that the setback of 33.5feet from the OHW is verified. 2. That the title issue is satisfactorily resolved and has no impact upon location of the new septic system. 3. That Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment finds that the proposed sewage treatment system can safely provide for longterm sewage disposal needs, will not jeopardize the water quality of Bone Lake or groundwater quality, and that a permit is granted. 4. That the applicant understands that the granting of the setback variance applies only to replacement of the sewage treatment system, and does not imply the granting of any future variance requests, such as to construct a new home on the site or to make improvements to the existing structure worth more than 50% of the appraised value of the existing structure. 5. That the effluent is monitored and meets a strict standard for nitrate nitrogen and phosphorous content. The standard will be to drinking water quality standards or as close to it as is feasible as determined by the Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment. Monitoring frequency will be determined by the Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment. 6. That the monitoring reports be prepared and certified by a licensed septic system designer experienced with the proposed system. 7. That all fees are paid. 11/12/2006 17:33 3606974755 JON RODGERS rwac ot.iuo Jon Rodgers Box 308, Port Gamble, WA 98364 (360) 697-4755 hm (776) 536-0970 fax Dear Sirs, Enclosed is a variance application, checklist, site plan(16 copies), and copy of certificate of survey(14 originals being mailed seperately) and a check for $150. 1 am applying for a variance for a new septic system to replace the existing system (believed to be an open -bottomed wood tank).

The peat filter module provides additional treatment for reduction of nutrients, pathogens and organic loading prior to discharge to the ground. This treatment is appropriate for the reduced setback distance to Bone Lake being requested. The system is also subject to an annually renewed monitoring and mitigation plan which will ensure treatment and protection of the lake. As a requirement of the permit, the old non compliant sewage system will be properly abandoned. The old shallow well will be sealed and replaced with a new well that meets current well code requirements.

Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Consider request of Pamela Huberty to schedule a public hearing to amend the Development Code concerning the performance standards for swimming pools (Section 10.31 (2) (I)). Deadline/ Timeline: A hearing could be scheduled no earlier than the March Planning Commission meeting. Background: . The development code requires a 6-foot safety fence around swimming pools (see code section, attached.) • The Hubertys, who live at 22899 Mallard Ave. N., have an existing swimming pool that does not have a fence. This came to light after an unrelated approval of variances for an accessory building on their property in September of 2006. • Instead of a fence, the Hubertys have installed an "Aquamatic Safety Pool Cover." The cover completely encloses the surface of the pool when not in use. Information about the cover is attached. • Some communities accept such covers as an alternative to a fence. For example, Stillwater's code requires pools to be secured with a "cover, fencing. screening, or other enclosure or any combination thereof of sufficient density and strength as to be impenetrable." The Scandia Township code does not have this flexibility. • The Hubertys have submitted a letter from their insurance company indicating they accept this cover as an alternative to a fence. They also submitted testing data for the pool cover which indicates it would meet a standard such as that written into Stillwater's ordinance. • An amendment to the Scandia Township Development Code would be needed to allow this pool cover to substitute for a fence. If the ordinance is not amended, the Huberty's will need to install a fence to comply with the current code. • This request was discussed briefly by the Planning Commission and Town Board at the November 14, 2006 meeting and again at a Page 1 of 2 O1/17/07 workshop meeting on November 28, 2006. A poll of the Planning Commission and Board members present found the group to be split almost evenly on whether or not a code amendment should be considered. It was decided to place the issue on the January 9, 2007 Planning Commission agenda for discussion. Staff was directed to research the building code requirements for pools fencing. In researching the building code question, I found that the state building code does NOT contain any requirements for fencing around pools. There is an appendix chapter of the Uniforni Residential Code that does contain pool fencing requirements; however, Minnesota communities are not allowed to adopt this chapter, and are instead advised to place their pool fencing requirements in their city codes/ local ordinances. Recommendation: If the Planning Commission believes there is merit in considering an ordinance amendment, you may schedule the public hearing. Staff would draft the ordinance for your consideration at that time.

New Scandia Township Development Code 85 9/25/06 Dear Anne Hurlburt, Several weeks ago, I spoke to you about amending the township ordinance regarding the acceptance of the Aquamatic Safety Pool Covers. Enclosed you will find the certification from the ASTM(American Society for Testing and Material Standard). This states that the safety pool cover had been tested independently by two testing agencies, and exceeds the ASTM requirements. You will find a copy of the City of Stillwater's ordinance allowing the covers instead of a fence. I also spoke with Sheryl, from the city of Oakdale, regarding their ordinances. She said they would be allowed if the safety issues could be proved. She asked me to fax the ASTM certification so she could have it on file for future reference. Also enclosed is a letter from my State Farm insurance agent allowing the cover to be used instead of a fence. I hope you will consider amending this pool ordinance. We have five children, and safety is our priority. I would encourage you to come to our house, and view how safe the cover is.

Connolly, presented their proposal to conduct a mining and reclamation project, over a 10 year period, on an approximately 60+ acre site located west of Highway 95 at Highway 97. The site, owned by the Zavoral family, was mined a number of years ago but never reclaimed. In recent years, permits have allowed the removal of material from existing stockpiles, but no mining. Part of the site is in the St. Croix Riverway zoning district, where mining is not an allowed use. They propose to mine the portion of the site outside the river corridor (about 42 acres) and reclaim the formerly mined area within the river corridor (about 20.6 acres.) as well as the newly mined area. A bond would ensure reclamation. Access to the site would be at the intersection of Highways 95 and 97, where the current driveway is at a skew to the intersection. The safety of this entrance will need to be addressed. Mr. Caron was asked if there was much topsoil on the site. Mr. Caron indicated that there was some close to the road in a berm and they will have to import topsoil. Mr. Nickelson commented that Abrahamson's Nursery has a large pile for sale. There was some discussion as to the depth of the mine and its proximity to the water table. Mr. Caron indicated his desire to establish an escrow account soon. The current mining permits expire February 28, 2007. Performance Standards for Swimming Pools The request by Pam Huberty that the township amend the development code to allow certain types of pools covers to substitute for the requirement for a fence. If the ordinance is not amended, the Hubertys will be required to install a fence for their pool. After some discussion, Chair Ness asked for a show of hands of those commissioners and board members willing to consider an amendment. Five were in favor, four were opposed. It was decided to place the item on the January 9, 2007 Planning Commission agenda for discussion. Staff was asked to research the building code requirements for pools. Definition of "Agricultural Building" Kevin Nickelson explained the issue, which is how the zoning regulations for the number and square footage of accessory buildings and agricultural buildings apply to parcels between 20 and 80 acres, for true agricultural uses as opposed to personal storage uses. Attorney Hebert was asked to research how the state law applies, prior to the next meeting. Additions to the Agenda Attorney Hebert reported that an ordinance amendment will be needed to require public hearings for minor subdivisions. While the township has been holding hearings, the ordinance does not technically require a hearing. It was agreed that a public hearing would be held at the January 9, 2007 Planning Commission meeting. Next Meeting The date for a meeting to discuss a draft mining ordinance, and discuss regulations for agricultural buildings, will be chosen at the January 9, 2007 Planning Commission meeting. The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Anne Hurlburt Administrator Meeting Date: Agenda Item: Planning Commission/City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209" St. North, P.O. Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 7/23/2007 /0'� CO C) 0—,L 5- -f) Action Requested: Discuss letter from Willowbrook Community Church re: plans for a church on property on Highway 97 know as German Lake Estates. Church representatives are seeking feedback on whether to pursue an amendment to the city's shoreland regulations and other applications that would be needed for their project. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Representatives of Willowbrook Community Church appeared at the 9/5/06 Planning Commission meeting and at the 9/19/06 Town Board meeting to discuss their plans. The main issue for this project is that the shoreland regulations would need to be amended to allow churches before a conditional use permit application, and any other permits needed to construct a church, could proceed. • Prior to the incorporation of the city, Washington County had jurisdiction over the shoreland regulations. The County was not willing to consider any amendment. The City of Scandia now has the authority to adopt and amend its own shoreland regulations, with review and approval by the DNR (Department of Natural Resources). DNR Area Hydrologist Travis Germundson was contacted to determine whether or not the DNR would review a minor amendment to the shoreland regulations at this time, or if they would require a more complete update. He indicated that the DNR would review a "simple" amendment to add a "place of worship" as a conditional use in the shoreland district. The DNR also indicated that Scandia should work on a complete update of the shoreland regulations in the next six months. As part of the update, the DNR will require that some previously unclassified wetlands be classified as Natural Environment lakes. (They will be sending a list of these basins.) Page 1 of 2 O1/18/07 Recommendation: • I recommend that the Commission and Council discuss the church's proposal and give them feedback, recognizing that no comments would be binding or would commit the city to any future action. • If you wish to encourage the church to continue with their plans, the logical first step would be for them to apply to amendment the shoreland regulations. A hearing could be scheduled as early as the March 6 Planning Commission meeting, depending on how quickly the application is submitted. It is unknown how long the DNR review would take before the amendment could be put into effect. But if the amendment were passed at that time, the church could proceed (at their own risk) with preparing their conditional use permit application.

I +I' kL --q lw 12.26.06 To: Scandia City Council Members & Planning Commission From: Brad Reis — Pastor of Willowbrook Community Church Dear Scandia City Council and Planning Commission, WCC a great place for a fresh start I want to begin by congratulating you on becoming a new city (hurrah) and I'm very excited about the future of Scandia and for all of the citizens that you represent. I wanted to reconnect with you as we move into the new year (2007) and to let you know that we are still pursuing the opportunity to purchase and to build our new church on the sight formally known as, German Lake Estates. Just prior to the Scandia Elections, we had met with you to discuss the steps that are needed to make this purchase possible. We presented to the City Council and Planning Commission (on two occasions) our plans and followed the outline that you presented to us. We were advised to wait until the Township of Scandia became a City and to revisit this opportunity in the New Year. Now that the elections have been held, and that the new positions have been filled, I believe that the next important step is to file an amendment that would allow us to build on the German Lake Estates. We've made some preliminary steps by getting the approval from MN/DOT for gaining access to the property from highway 97. In addition, we received direction and legal advice from the local Watershed Council. We also hired a company to perform an environmental study on the 38 acres listed and the study concluded that the land is suitable for construction. And finally, we received a letter from a professional sanitation designer who demonstrated that the building of a church (that we submitted) would have far less environmental impact on the land than the construction of four homes built on the same property. We have met with the owners of German Lake Estates and are now trying to nail down a closing date (they have been waiting patiently). Our Church has completed a successful financial campaign and is now poised to purchase the land, pending on the outcome and timing of the amendment. We have hired an architect and builder that will oversee this project from start to finish and they, too, are anxiously awaiting direction from you in this matter. It goes without saying that we are very excited about advancing forward and eagerly are looking forward to working with you to build a strong and dynamic community in the new city of Scandia. Once again, congratulations on becoming a City and we will now wait to hear back from you. Serving Him with You in Mind, ` r \ Brad Reis Pastor of Willowbrook Community Church P.O Box 864 Forest Lake MN 55025 651.982.6361 www.willowbrookchurch.org September 5, 2006 Planning Commission Page 3 Willowbrook Community Church — Concept of a Church Pastor Brad Reis and architect Chris Dorman presented a concept to build a church on the plat of German Lake Estates. MNDOT has granted access to Highway 97. County and Township Zoning does not allow for a church within a Shoreland Overlay District. Special zoning or a permit would be needed for a church in an AG/Shoreland District. Also, the Ordinance requires a 1,000-foot setback from the lake. Pastor Reis has proposed a 700-foot setback with the church and parking lot placed near Hwy. 97. They could meet the 1,000 foot setback, but would have to grade a lot of dirt and the proposed location is the best use of the land and further from Manning Ave. Mr. Nickelson asked the rationale for the 1,000 foot setback. Church size is proposed to be 25,000 square feet, plus the parking lot. All water runoff would drain away from the lake. Mr. Nickelson said this church being so far from the lake would have no more, if less, impact on the lake than four homes, as two would be on the lake. Other issues to consider will be traffic and impact on neighbors. The church currently has 380 adults with children bringing attendance to 500 using about 130 vehicles. According to Pastor Reis, the County is waiting for a township response and believes a variance or a zoning amendment would be required. The County also has a formula to address well and septic needs. The Planning Commission instructed Pastor Reis to obtain the planning information and minutes on the church in Cambridge, and to contact the Carnelian -Marine Watershed District (CMWD) as a permit may be needed and return with that information. Steve Lombritto — Variance Mr. Steve Lombritto, 18633 Langly Court, purchased a home on a peninsula three years ago. There is 940 square feet of living space, a two -car attached garage and a carport. There is a deck on the lakeside. Mr. Lombritto would like to add a second story to enlarge the three bedrooms. The home is on the 201 system. Many variances and a Watershed permit would be required. Donnette Yehle made a motion to adjourn and the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, Colleen Firkus Planning Commission Secretary New Scandia Town Board September 19, 2006 Page 5 Winter Recreation Facilities Mike White was present to report on the status of the ice rink and equipment for the winter season. Mr. White is in the process of replacing five sheets of plastic along the rink wall and preparing the surface for flooding. Supervisor Harnetty observed that the use of plastic on the boards appears to be a problem. Mr. White was directed to gather proposals for the replacement of the boards, possibly with a plastic laminate. A suggestion was also made to install netting along the east edge of the rink to protect the free -skate rink from stray pucks. WILLOV6BROOK COMMUNITY CHURCH Pastor Brad Reis, Willowbrook Community Church, was present to update the Board on the concept of constructing a church on the parcel known as German Lake Estates; forty acres on the south end of German Lake. This would require a variance, as the building lies within 1000 feet of the lake that Washington County has in place for Shoreland Overlay. Additionally, Washington County does not allow places of worship in any shoreland district. Pastor Reis had met with the Carnelian -Marine Watershed at their September 11, 2006 Board meeting. Comments from the Watershed indicated that a permit from CMWD would be required. In addition, the Town should consider conditions in which the proposed church development has less environmental impact on the area than the already approved development known as German Lake Estates. Discussion among the Board considered the possibility of amending the land use code to list a church as an approved use within the shoreland overlay. A study of the current rationale of omitting a church from the shoreland overlay would need to be done. Administrator Hurlburt will address this issue with Washington County Land Management when Ms. Hurlburt meets with the department later in the week. Following Ms. Hurlburt's meeting, this issue will be further discussed with the Planning Commission. Nancy Madden made a motion to adjourn the meeting and the meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Brenda Eklund New Scandia Township Deputy Clerk Meeting Date: Agenda Item: Town Board Agenda Report Town of New Scandia 14727 209' St. North, P.O. Box 128 Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 9/19/2006 7 Action Requested: Receive update on concept of construction of the Willowbrook Community Church on the parcel known as German Lake Estates. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Representatives of the church appeared at the 9/5/2006 Planning Commission and Town Board meeting to present their concept. • The church was advised to obtain additional information, and to contact the Carnelian Marine Watershed District, and return with that information. • Addition information received since the 9/5/2006 meeting include a letter from the watershed, information comparing the potential impact of a septic system for a church with single family homes, and information on the builder that the church proposes to use for their project. • The site is in the Agricultural zoning district, which allows places of worship by conditional use permit. • Most of the site is also in the shoreland overlay district for German Lake (1,000 feet from the lake.) The Washington County shoreland regulations, adopted by reference by the Township, do not allow churches or places of worship in any shoreland district. • The shoreland regulations would need to be amended to allow churches before a conditional use permit application, and any other permits needed to construct a church, could proceed. Based on the church's contacts with County staff, it's not clear whether the County would be willing to amend!i the ordinance. Another contact will be made prior to the Board meeting to clarify their position on this issue. Recommendation: I recommend that the Board review the additional information provided by Willowbrook Church, and provide feedback on: 1) whether you might support amending the shoreland regulations; and Page 1 of 2 09/15/06 on 2), the suitability of the site for the proposed use and any other comments to help them determine whether to pursue the project.

First, on September 11th we met with the Watershed Committee and gave our proposal to each of the committee members. The Committee found our proposal favorable and made several comments and suggestions, one of them being that at the planning or development stage, just prior to construction, that we would meet with them to make sure that the Watershed Codes are all upheld. In addition, they commented that the location of the church building and parking lot on the blueprint (being over 700 feet from German Lake) would not, in their opinion, directly influence German Lake. A Committee Member did inquire about the comparison between several homes on the German Lake Estates and a church building. Fortunately, we were able to hand to them a letter prepared by Fredrick Weck, IV, Septic Inspector for the town of Wyoming. Upon the review of this letter, the Watershed Committee found his opinion helpful and insightful. Secondly, (as mentioned above) we met with Fredrick Weck, IV and he prepared the letter that you have before you. His summary (found in the fourth paragraph) states, "...it (the church) should have less of an impact than the three homes that could be built on the same parcel." As a Church Committee, we found his opinion informative. Fredrick was recently involved with Maranatha Church in Wyoming, a church of about one thousand attenders, setting up their present septic system. It is also interesting to note that a church septic system is constantly being monitored by the Minnesota Department of Health, whereas home wells would not be monitored as such. Result: Far safer management and protection for the land and community. Thirdly, I have been in contact with Larry Fredlund, the Chief Building Designer of New Hope Community Church in Cambridge Minnesota. As mentioned at our last meeting, New Hope Church will begin construction on a parcel of land that is located near Lake Skogman in Isanti County. Isanti County has given their approval of this plan and we are now anxiously waiting the minutes of their meetings with the County so that we can gain additional insight for Willowbrook's Special Use Permit for our location. Enclosed is a brochure of their plans and layout. You will notice on the bottom right picture that the lake is near the building (I was told 450 feet). And finally, our Willowbrook Council has narrowed our building search to the selection of Anderson Builders. Anderson Builders is a highly reputable builder that has built and designed many churches throughout the metro area. We have met with Greg Anderson, the President of Anderson Builders, and he has suggested joining us at our October meeting with you to get more insight as to what is needed to advance us forward. We believe that you will enjoy getting to know Greg and his expertise in church design. (A sample of his work/credentials has been included). Again, I'm personally looking forward to my time with you on the 19th and have no doubt that our time will be profitable. If there is anything you need from me prior to our meeting, please feel free to contact me at 651.210.1131.

Box 128 Scandia, Minnesota, 55073 Re: CMWD Comments on Willow Brook Church Requested Variance to Shoreland Ordinance German Lake Subwatershed Management Area CMWD Comment No. 06-015 Dear Ms. Eklund: The proposed variance is to construct a Church (a non-residential structure) within the 1000-ft Shoreland Zone of German Lake. Church Pastor Brad Reis presented the concept plan for the proposed development at the CMWD's Monday, September 11, regular board meeting. Detailed design documents have not been provided to date. The following Carnelian Marine Watershed District (CMWD) comments pertain to the referenced variance request and the concept presented by Pastor Reis. The CMWD's primary concern is for the protection of German Lake and potential for weakening protections provided by the shoreland ordinance. Please provide copies of CMWD comments to the Town board and Planning Commission for consideration at their next meeting. 1. The property in question involves the entire property of the German Lakes Estates major subdivision, which was approved and permitted (without variances) by CMWD this year. It is our understanding that this plat has not yet been filed. This should be clarified. Enclosed is the information on the CMWD's Natural Resource Inventory that was provided to the German Lakes Estates Developer. Additional information such as wetlands delineations and undeveloped conditions drainage models that were produced as part of the German Lakes Estates Development could be used for the church development. This information should also be reviewed during the concept phase when sighting proposed church facilities. 2. German Lake is Priority Lake 7.5 in the CMWD, with a water quality rating of `B", and an overall management of "Maintenance". The lake is landlocked and has some very high value resources associated with it. Proposed project requires a permit from the CMWD as it is located in the Shoreland Zone of German Lake, and requires a variance from the shoreland ordinance. The project will need to meet or exceed CMWD requirements. The CMWD would expect a level of detail for the plans similar to the plans prepared for the German Lakes Estates Development. Please make a CMWD Permit a requirement of any variance you may grant for this property.

If the Township decides to allow the requested variance they should consider requiring the following stipulations to mitigate the variance, with the design goal that the proposed church development have less environmental impact than the already approved residential development: a. Set a minimum structure (including future buildings, parking lots and roads) of 725-ft +/- from the OHW of the lake and be clear that no future variances will be granted. b. Recommend the development to be a low impact / conservation type of development. Encourage innovative stormwater management techniques; refer to Minnesota Stormwater Manual for additional information. c. Require that the area included in the lake setback be covered by a conservation / openspace easement with specific identified uses, and protection of the native vegetation lake buffer, similar to what is provided in a cluster development. d. No further subdivision of the land. e. Any future change in use of the property due to sale or transfer of ownership should be restricted to a church or other residential use. The CMWD Managers did raise a concern about the possibility of the property being converted to commercial or industrial use as a result of a future sale (This topic maybe best handled by the CUP). Please feel free to contact me at (651) 770-8448 if you have any questions on this letter. Sincerely, Daniel A. Fabian, P.E.

It is my understanding that the proposed church is approximately 20,000 square feet in size and will be located on a thirty-eight acre parcel. It is also my understanding that if the parcel were to be subdivided under current zoning that: three homes could be built on the subdivided land. In my experience septic systems for new homes are typically designed for a minimum of 4 bedrooms, or 600 gallons of septage per day (150 gallons per bedroom). With water use of 600 gallons per day, per home, the three homes septic systems would be designed to treat a total of 1,800 gallons of septage per day. The University of Minnesota's Onsite Sewage Treatment Program Professional Workshop Manual estimates that a church will use 0.14 gallons of water per day per member. The manual also estimates an additional 0.14 gallons of water per day per Sunday school student, and an additional 1-gallon of water per day for each kitchen meal served at the church. In order to reach 1,800 gallons per day the church would need to serve 1,000 meals, have 2,857 members, and 2,857 Sunday school students. It has also been my experience that the Manual tends to underestimate church water use. If the Manual's estimates were quadrupled it would result in 250 meals served, 714 members, and 714 Sunday school students per day. On a daily basis the church and the three homes will probably not reach the estimated design capacities. The design estimates do provide a valid comparison between the uses though. Although I do not know how large the Willowbrook Churches congregation is, nor how they intend to use the facility, until they begin to use the facility at its maximum daily septic system capacity it should have less of an impact then the three homes that could be built on the same parcel. Other considerations include the maintenance of one septic system versus three septic systems owned by three different individuals, and that the well for the church will be monitored by the Minnesota Department of Health as a public water supply, whereas the homes wells will not be monitored as such. If you have any questions I can be reached at (651) 462-4947 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. & 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Sincerely, Frederick E.

IV i I I owb roo k Community Church a great place for a fresh start 8.23.06 From Pastor Brad Lead Pastor of Willowbrook Dear Members of the Council, On behalf of Willowbrook we appreciate the opportunity to appear before you on September 51h to present an exciting opportunity for our church, as well as New Scandia. I have written to you in order to debrief you on what has taken place over the past few months in hopes that it might help our time together. Enclosed is a preliminary drawing from Doehrmann Architect that lays out a potential plan for a church building on the current property of Kevin and Sue Nickelson. This parcel of land was brought to our attention several months ago by a member our Search Committee. Since this time we have completed several steps to advance our interest in this property. First, we completed a Phase I Environmental Study (enclosed) that turned up no issues with the land as it pertains to building. Secondly, MN/DOT has met with us to determine access to the property from 97. As noted in their letter (enclosed), they have agreed access to the land and have even commented to us that in May of 07 Hwy 97 will be resurfaced from Forest Lake (35 W) into New Scandia. They spoke to us about coordinating our efforts at that time for a left hand turn lane. Thirdly, Willowbrook completed a successful Financial Campaign in which we raised enough money to fund the purchase of this land. Willowbrook started six years ago with a total of 27 adults. Today, over 500 people are calling Willowbrook their home, many who live in the Scandia - New Scandia area. Obviously, there is great excitement among those at Willowbrook and they are anxiously awaiting the results. And finally, we have been in contact with Washington County and have reviewed with them the Shoreland Management Codes to determine what is allowed or permitted on this particular piece of parcel since it borders German Lake. In our discussions together, there has been no ruling on their end as of yet because of the general nature of how to classify a church. Namely, every church in Minnesota that has ever been built (residential, commercial, agricultural, etc.), always builds under a "special use permit." In other words, the State of Minnesota does not view a church as a commercial building - but instead they allow it to operate in residential, commercial, and agricultural surroundings. In fact, over 70 percent of all churches today are built in residential areas — with a special use permit. This is what makes this particular piece of property (Nickelson) interesting because of the setback (1000 feet) code for all of those "outside" of residential, with several exceptions listed. The case that we would be making is that our church would continue to pursue a special use permit toward this "residential" piece of land because of the nature of how all churches in Minnesota are defined by the State. Interesting enough, Isanti County (which has the same 1000 foot setback) just allowed New Hope Church of Cambridge to begin construction of their church 450 feet from Skogland Lake based on the same review of churches and how they are defined and zoned. A special variance was given by the City and County and construction is soon to begin. Our meeting together on the 5th will be extremely helpful and insightful to all of us involved because it does represent some important landmarks as to how New Scandia defines churches — especially as it relates to a special use permit in a residential zone — which includes this parcel of land. We have enclosed a preliminary drawing of a "potential" placement of the church based on the elevations and natural water flow levels. The distance from the lake to the back side of the building, which includes parking lot, is approximately 750 feet. It is our belief that such a distance would give adequate protection to the lake while affording a great sense of open space and aesthetic appeal to the community. As a church we are very excited about the potential opportunity to have our church reside in the New Scandia area. While naming our church, we intentionally placed the word, "community," into our title to convey to those around us that we desire nothing more than to partner a strong community together that we all can be proud of for years to come. Again, I want to personally thank you for your time in this matter. We are looking forward to meeting with you on the 5th and on hearing your thoughts or insights on this potential opportunity.

The purpose of the Phase I ESA was to evaluate the potential for contamination to have occurred on the site. The results of the Phase I ESA showed no evidence of recognized environmental conditions, as defined by ASTM, in connection with this property. In addition, no off -site environmental sites with potential to impact the project site were identified. We appreciate having the opportunity to be of assistance to you on this project.

DOC Minnesota Department of Transportation Metropolitan District Waters Edge 1500 West County Road B-2 Roseville MN 55113-3174 July 24, 2006 Brad Reis 5018 200th Street N Forest Lake, MN 55025 SUBJECT: German Lake Estates, Mn/DOT Review PRE06-009 N of TH 97, East of Manning Trail New Scandia Township, Washington County Control Section: 8212 Dear Mr. Reis: Wayne Lemaniak and I appreciated the opportunity to meet with you on July 13th to discuss access for the proposed church. Per our discussion, this letter is intended to document the comments made at the meeting. This letter is preliminary and does not constitute an official review from our agency. When this development progresses further though the planning process an official Mn/DOT review, which evaluates all aspects of the development from drainage to plat review, will be required. It is our understanding that the proposed roadway connection from Manning Trail to the German Lake Estates will not be constructed with the current proposal. Therefore, with no access options to the local roadwav system, the access onto TH 97 (Scandia Trail) would be allowed. If the roadway connection from Manning Trail were to extend to this parcel in the future, then access for the church should be relocated to the local road. For safety reasons, both right and left turn lanes are required. As discussed, it makes sense to coordinate the construction of the turn lanes with our TH 97 mill and overlay project. The estimated letting date for the mill and overlay project is May, 2007. Thank you for your early involvement with our agency. Please feel free to contact me with any questions at (651) 582-1548. Sincerely, Tod. Sherman, Planning Supervisor Memo To: New Scandia Township Board New Scandia Planning Commission From: Anne Hurlburt, Administrator. \" Date: 9/25/2006 Re: Willowbrook Community Church Concept Plan-- Update Representatives of Willowbrook Community Church appeared at the 9/5/2006 Planning Commission Meeting, and at the 9/19/2006 Town Board meeting, to discuss their plans for a church on property on Highway 97 known as German Lake Estates. The main issue for this project is that that the shoreland regulations would need to be amended to allow churches before a conditional use permit application, and any other permits needed to construct a church, could proceed. After the Board meeting, I met with Dennis O'Donnell, Washington County Staff, to discuss the County's position regarding such an amendment. Mr. O'Donnell indicated that the County will not entertain an amendment. A similar proposal to add a currently prohibited use had been brought forward in another community and rejected, so there appears to be a precedent for their position. Given the County's response, the Church has indicated that they will not be attending the upcoming Planning Commission and/or Board meeting. They will consider whether to look for another site, or wait to make a proposal next year. If and when the Township is incorporated, the new City could consider an amendment to allow places of worship in the shoreland overlay district. 0 Page 1
