4.b) Car-Mar Watershed_Amundson Comment LetterCarnelian -Marine -St. Croix Watershed District Scandia Plaza 11 • 21150 Ozark Avenue $ P.O. Box 188 s Scandia, MN 55073 *'rel 651.433.2150 October 6, 2015 Ms. Sherri Buss TKDA 444 Cedar Street, Suite 1500 St. Paul, MN 55101 re; CMSCWD Comment C15-013 Amundsen Variance Dear Ms. Buss: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the request for the variance noted above. The proposal is the construction of a 40' x 56' horse barn within the 100 foot side setback on a large lot at 20575 St. Croix Trail North in Scandia. I walked the property with the owner on Monday, October 5a'. Neither the proposal itself nor the request for variance is subject to the CMSCWD Watershed Rules and so will not require a District permit. Since the 12 acre property is a large land -locked basin, there is very little risk of stormwater runoff caring manure beyond the property itself. If the City feels the necessity to mitigate this small risk, I would suggest requirements for a vegetative buffer from the edge of the existing storm water pond to the exclusion fence line surrounding the storm water pond as well as a manure management plan. Thank you again for requesting comments from the District and do not hesitate to call if have any questions. erely, Shaver, Administrator Brenda Eklund City of Scandia Greg Amundson owner Carl Almer Emmons & Olivier Resources e-mail ?Sl aver(°C 5 4 :aa website www.CMSCWD.org
