The property is 22.66 acres in size and is located in the General Rural (GR) District and the Shoreland District of German Lake, a Natural Environment Lake. DETAILED EVALUATION OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST: Washington County granted an access permit for the driveway on the Olson property in October 2017, and the driveway was constructed and inspected by the County in December, 2017. The Comfort Lake -Forest Lake Watershed District approved a permit for construction of the driveway access in November 2017. However, the applicants did not obtain the required city driveway and erosion control permits for the driveway construction. Prior to the construction of the driveway, the City Administrator met with the property owners' realtor at the site, and informed him that the owners needed to contact the Washington Conservation District (WCD) to get a wetland determination or delineation to identify the wetland boundary and required 75' setback, and noted that the driveway would require a City driveway and grading permit. The property owners did not obtain the required City driveway and grading permits needed to construct the driveway. The City Administrator would have identified the need for a wetland delineation again at the time the permit application was submitted. The City Administrator saw the driveway after it was constructed while on a site visit to the Scandia Mine, and determined that the driveway location was within the required 75' setback from a wetland. He noted that the material from the berm that was located adjacent to Manning Trail was removed to construct the driveway, and the fill was placed within the wetland setback area. The applicant and owners are seeking a variance to permit the driveway to remain in its current location. The applicant's rationale for the location of the driveway includes the following: • The driveway access at Manning Trail meets sight -distance requirements from the curves on Manning to the north and south of the driveway. County staff stated that if the driveway were required to be moved to the south (farther from the wetland), the County would have required a shared driveway with the neighboring property. The City discourages shared driveways. • The location preserves trees along the berm abutting Manning Trail. • The location is on higher ground than adjacent areas and will minimize the fill that would be needed if the driveway were placed in the adjacent area. The City Administrator has visited and photographed the site, and noted the following: • There are only a few trees on the berm, and none in the area behind the berm. • The road access location is good but the driveway could have been constructed to avoid the wetland. There are close to 200' between the wetland setback and the property line, and Jay Riggs of the Washington Conservation District determined that there are no wetlands in that area. 7 JOlson Variance Request Scandia Planning Commission Page 3 April 3, 2018 The sections that follow analyze the Variance request based on the criteria for granting a variance. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan states that the General Rural (GR) District is a residential area of mixed lot sizes. The intent of the district is to establish a rural residential area that meets the Metropolitan Council requirement for rural communities that overall densities shall not exceed 1 housing unit per 10 acres. Residential accessory structures, including driveways, are a permitted use in the GR District, and a driveway access is required for a residential use. The Comprehensive Plan also includes goals to protect wetlands, mature woodlands, and other natural resources. The Comprehensive Plan includes a Transportation Strategy to identify areas where driveway access may interfere with safe operation of traffic on arterial roadways such as Manning Trail North, and work with property owners to find a safe access alternative. The proposed variance is requested to permit the location of driveway with a 29' setback (rather than the required 75) from a wetland. While the access meets county requirements, the location of the driveway within the parcel does not meet the setback requirement from the wetlands, and the construction of the driveway placed wetland fill within the setback. There are no mature woodlands on the parcel on the location where the driveway was constructed or in other areas where it could have been constructed to comply with the required wetland setback. The proposed use and variance request for the driveway location are not consistent with the goals of the Comprehensive Plan to protect wetlands and other natural resources. The driveway access location can remain at the current location and there is sufficient area on the parcel to permit the driveway to be moved to the south to avoid the wetland setback area. The fill material that was placed within the setback can be moved to another location on the parcel. Lot Size and Setbacks The applicants' lot is approximately 22.7acres in size, and exceeds the minimum 2.0 -acre lot size permitted in the GR District. The required structure setbacks from property lines in the GR District include the following: • Front: 40 feet • Side: 20 feet • Rear: 50 feet • Unclassified water bodies: 75 feet • Driveways require a 5' setback from property lines The driveway requires a variance from the required setback from unclassified water bodies. Accessory Structures There are no existing residential accessory structures on the parcel. 7 JOlson Variance Request Scandia Planning Commission Page 4 April 3, 2018 Lot Coverage The GR District allows up to 25% lot coverage by impervious surfaces. The Planner calculated the lot coverage with the driveway to be approximately 1 % of the parcel. The lot coverage meets the Code requirement. Structure Height Not applicable. Wastewater Treatment Not applicable. Stormwater Management and Wetlands A wetland delineation was completed on the Olson property and approved by the Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP). The delineation found that the wetland near the driveway is a Seasonally -Flooded basin dominated by Reed Canary grass. Staff requested a comment from Jay Riggs of the Washington Conservation District regarding potential impacts to the wetland and wetland quality. No comments have been received at this time. The Planner sent the application to the Comfort Lake -Forest lake Watershed District for review. District staff indicated that the required District permit was approved for the driveway construction, and the district has no other comments on the variance request. Driveway/Access The driveway access is from Manning Trail North, a County roadway. The County approved an access permit for the driveway. The location meets sight -distance requirements from the curves on Manning to the north and south of the driveway. County staff stated that if the driveway access at Manning Trail North were required to be moved to the south, it would not meet the sight -distance requirements, and the County would have required a shared driveway with the neighboring property. The City's policies discourage shared driveways unless there is no other option to provide access to a parcel. DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE VARIANCE REQUEST Chapter 1, Section 6.0 of the Development Code includes the criteria and required process for considering variance requests. Variances may only be granted when the terms of the variance are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the development code. The variance criteria include: 1. The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Development Code. 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. 7 JOlson Variance Request Scandia Planning Commission Page 5 April 3, 2018 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. 4. Economic conditions alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. 5. The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. 6. The required variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. 7. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Applicant's Rationale for the Variance The applicant identified the following practical difficulties related to the request for a variance to permit the driveway to remain in its current location: • The location meets sight -distance requirements from the curves on Manning to the north and south of the driveway and other locations to the south that would meet the wetland setback requirement do not meet the site distance requirements. • The location preserves trees along the berm abutting Manning Trail. • The location is on higher ground than adjacent areas and will minimize the fill and disturbance that would be needed if the driveway were placed in the adjacent area, and therefore minimizing grading and potential erosion and sedimentation. Findings The following bullets present the Planner's findings related to the Jon Olson request for a variance, based on the statutory criteria for granting a variance. Each of the criteria is shown in italics: • Variances shall only be permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the official control. Granting the requested variance for the driveway location is not in harmony with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code based on the following: o The residential use is permitted in the General Rural District, and a driveway is required to support that use. o The driveway access is consistent with the goals and policies in the Comprehensive plan because it meets the sight -distance requirements for Manning Avenue to protect traveler. o The driveway location and placement of fill during construction were not in harmony with the purposes and intent of the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The driveway location violates the wetland setback requirements designed to protect the wetland area on the parcel. o There are locations on the parcel where the driveway can be constructed and the fill can be relocated that would meet the wetland setback requirement. • The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner under the conditions allowed by official control(s). 7 JOlson Variance Request Scandia Planning Commission Page 6 April 3, 2018 Single-family residences and driveways are reasonable uses in the GR District. The residential use could not be developed without a driveway. The practical difficulties are not caused by the landowner, and are unique to the property. There are no practical difficulties that require the placement of the driveway within the wetland setback area. The issues were created by the property owner, who placed the driveway and construction fill within the required setback area. Other locations are available on the parcel for the driveway and the fill material that would comply with the wetland setback requirement. • The variance would not alter the essential character of the area. Granting the variance would not alter the essential character of the area. The applicants' property is adjacent to other parcels with single-family residences with driveways. • Economic conditions alone shall not constitute practical difficulties. There are no practical difficulties that require the placement of the driveway within the wetland setback area. The issues were created by the property owner, who placed the driveway within the required setback area. Other locations are available for the driveway on the parcel that would comply with the wetland setback requirement, and the costs for moving the driveway and fill are not a practical difficulty. • The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. Granting the variance will not impair the supply of light or air to adjacent properties. The location of the driveway meeting the County's conditions for the access permit will not increase congestion or endanger public safety. The driveway location will not impair property values in the neighborhood. • The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the practical difficulty. A variance is not needed. The driveway and fill material related to its construction may be moved to another location on the parcel that would comply with the wetland setback requirement. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. Granting the variance will provide adequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems. 7 Jolson Variance Request Scandia Planning Commission Page 7 April 3, 2018 ACTION REQUESTED: The Planning Commission can recommend the following: 1. Approval 2. Approval with conditions 3. Denial with findings 4.

Section 8.1 requires that structures be setback 75 feet from any unclassified water body; we are requesting that the driveway on the property be exempted from this requirement as a portion of the driveway in question (approximately 75 feet) encroaches upon the setback requirement of the Code section, but does not encroach upon the PEM1A wetland on the eastern side of the property. The driveway is in the best possible location for this property as it's installation in the requested location: • Preserved mature trees atop the berm along the eastern border abutting Manning Trail ranging in age from 5 to 25 years old. • Utilized soils on site negating the need to import fill. • Gave access to a future building site along the highest points on the accessible portion of the property. • Maintained a respectful buffer between the Olson property and the property to the south. A Washington County Access Permit (#2017-A-27) was issued October 23, 2017 granting permission to create a residential driveway access for this property off of Manning. The installation was inspected and approved by a representative of the Washington County Public Works Department on December 19, 2017. The existing driveway access meets site distance requirements from the curves on Manning, both to the north and to the south. The driveway access was also placed so the trees on the berm were not in conflict with site requirements. According to Carol Hanson of the Washington County Public Works Department, had the driveway access been moved to the south, it's possible that the County would have required it to be a shared driveway with the neighboring property. In addition, the Comfort Lake - Forest Lake Watershed District approved the permit application for construction of a driveway access in its current location on November 30, 2017 (#17-019).

No.: 2017-331 Project Location: Scandia — Washington County PID# 0703220310003 about 4 acres Project Description: Wetland Delineation Report Jacobson Environmental, PLLC. (JE) visited the above referenced site on November 21, 2017 to perform a official wetland delineation in accordance with the 1987 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the 2012 Regional Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation: Northcentral and Northeast Region. The site was about 4 acres in size, and was located south of 22550 Manning Trail North, Scandia, Minnesota. See Figure 1 for a Site Location Map. The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) map identified one wetland near the site boundary. The soil survey identified the soil as Blomford loamy fine sand. The Figure 4 DNR Public Waters Map shows no public waters exist on the property. One basin was delineated within the site boundary, which is summarized below and shown on the Figure 5 — Wetland Delineation Map. ! Basin Wetland T e Dominant Vegetation ID Circular Cowardin Eggers & Reed E1 Type 1 PEM1A Seasonally flooded Reed Canary Grass _ _ basin The growing season in this area is approximately from mid-April to mid-October, when the air temperature averages above 28 degrees F. This delineation was completed after the growing season. The previous three month's precipitation data suggests that the sampling period occurred under normal conditions. Antecedent precipitation data is located in Appendix A. All figures and appendices referenced by this report are presented at the end of the text. The purpose of this study was to investigate the project area, identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitat. This wetland delineation was performed and reported by Wayne Jacobson, Minnesota Professional Soil Scientist #30611, Society of Wetland Scientists — Professional Wetland Scientist #1000, University of Minnesota / BWSR Wetland Delineator, Certified #1019, American Fisheries Society — Associate Fisheries Scientist #A-171.

Wetiand boundaries were determined through a routine analysis of the vegetation, soils and hydrology which must all show wetland characteristics in order for an area to be delineated as a wetland. Wetlands are areas that are saturated or inundated with surface and or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and that under normal circumstances do support, a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in hydric soil conditions. Examples of wetlands include seasonally flooded basins, floodplain forests, wet meadows, shallow and deep marshes, shrub swamps, wooded swamps, fens, and bogs. Vegetation The plant species within the parcel were cataloged and assigned a wetland indicator status according to: Lichvar, R.W., D.L. Banks, W.N. Kirchner, and N.C. Melvin, 2016. The National Welland Plant List: 2016 Wetland Ratings, Phytoneuron 2016-30: 1-17. In the text of this report and on the enclosed data forms, the plant indicator status follows the plant's scientific name unless a status has not been assigned. The hydrophytic plant criterion is met when more than 50 percent of the dominant species by the 50120 rule for each stratum (herb, shrub/sapling, tree, and woody vine) were assigned an obligate (OBL)', facultative wet (FACW), and/or facultative (FAC) wetland status. With the 50120 rule, dominants are generally measured by absolute % cover in each stratum which individually or collectively account for more than 50% of total vegetative cover in the stratum, plus any other species which itself accounts for at least 20% of the total vegetative cover. Soils A hydric soil is a soil formed under conditions of saturation, flooding, or ponding long enough during the growing season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper part. If a soil exhibits the indicators of a hydric soil or is identified as a hydric soil the hydric soil criterion is met. The break between hydric and non -hydric soils was determined by excavating soil pits along transects crossing the wetland/upland eco -tone and evaluating the soil colors, textures, and presence or absence of redoximorphic indicators (i.e., mottles, gley or oxidized rhizospheres). Hydric Soil Indicators for the Midwest Region were rioted as presented in the National Technical Committee for Hydric Soils Field Indicators of Hydric Soils in the United States version 7.0 (USDA NRCS 2010) if present at each sample OBL=Obligate Wetland, occurs an estimated 99% in wetlands. FACW=Facultative Wetland, has an estimated 67%-99% probability of occurrence in wetlands. FAC=Facultative, is equally likely to occur in wetlands and non -wetlands, 34%-66% probability. FACU=Facultative Upland, occurs in wetlands only occasionally, 1%-23% probability. UPL=Upland, almost never occurs in wetlands, c1 % probability. N1= No Indicator, insufficient information available to determine an indicator status. Positive or negative sign previously indicated a frequency toward higher (+) or lower (-) frequency of occurrence within a category.

Also, upper soil profiles were compared to the mapped or inclusionary soil series found in the sample area for soil identification purposes. Cautions used In applying the Field Indicators of Hydric Soiis There are hydric soils with morphologies that are difficult to interpret. These include soils with black, gray, or red parent material; soils with high pH; soils high or low in content of organic matter; recently developed hydric soils, and soils high in iron inputs. In some cases we do not currently have indicators to assist in the identification of hydric soils in these situations. As long as the soil meets the definition of a hydric soil, the lack of an indicator does not preclude the soil from being hydric. The indicators were developed mostly to identify the boundary of hydric soil areas and generally work best on the margins. Not all of the obviously wetter hydric soils will be identified by the indicators. Redoximorphic features are most likely to occur in soils that cycle between anaerobic (reduced) and aerobic (oxidized) conditions. Morphological features of hydric soils indicate that saturation and anaerobic conditions have existed under either contemporary or former hydrologic regimes. Where soil morphology seems inconsistent with the landscape, vegetation, or observable hydrology, it may be necessary to obtain the assistance of an experienced soil or wetland scientist to determine whether the soil is hydric. To clarify on some Washington County sites, Many of these soils have black or gray parent materials Many of the soils have a high organic matter content The hydric soil margin is typically higher than the wetland boundary margin on the site Not all of the obviously wetter soils will be identified by the indicators Many of the hydric soils are Mollisols which are classic problem hydric soils in many cases Wetland Classification Wetland classifications discussed in the text are set forth in Wetlands and Deepwater Habitats of the United States (FWS/OBS Publication 79/31, Cowardin et al. 1979) and Wetlands of the United States (LISFWS Circular 39, Shaw and Fredine, 1971.) Additionally, plant community types as named by Eggers and Reed (1998) are given. Topographic maps, National Wetlands Inventory maps, the Web Soil Survey, Aerial Photographs, and DNR Protected Waters maps were consulted to locate potential wetland habitats. The Routine On-site Determination Method was used on this site. In this method, the following procedures were used: 1) The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether 50% of the dominant plant species were hydrophytic using the 50/20 method. 2) Soil pits were dug using a dutch auger to depths of 18"-40", noting soil profiles and any hydric soil characteristics.

Wetland edges were marked with orange numbered pin flags. 4 -foot wood lath marked with orange "wetland boundary" flagging tape or flagging tied on vegetation may be used if site conditions warrant. Any wetlands were mapped using GPS. At least one sample point transect crosses each delineated wetland edge. These transects consist of an upland sample point and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be located in areas which have one or more of the wetland vegetation, soils, or hydrologic characteristics present, or where questionable conditions exist. Sample points are marked with a pink ribbon. Sample data sheets are found in Appendix B. Results Basin 1 Basin 1 was a PEM1A Type 1 seasonally flooded basin. The basin was dominated by Reed Canary Grass. Adjacent upland was typically dominated by Kentucky Bluegrass and Tall Goldenrod. Primary and secondary hydrology indicators were not observed in the upland, and hydric soil indicators were not found in the upland soils The wetland boundary followed a change in vegetation from wetland to upland plant communities, as well as a change in topography. The basin was shown further north as a PEM 1A wetland on the NWI map, and was located within an area mapped as Blomford loamy fine sand by the Web Soil Survey. Sample data sheets 1—UP and 1 WET correspond to this basin Confirmation of Jurisdictional Status We are submitting this report to the client and regulatory agencies to request a wetland boundary and type determination. We have enclosed an official WCA Approval of Wetland Type and Boundary form in Appendix D along with a USCOE wetland delineation concurrence request.

Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 4 of 11 Project Name and/or Number: Attachment A Request for Delineation Review, Wetland Type Determination, or Jurisdictional Determination By submission of the enclosed wetland delineation report, I am requesting that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District (Corps) and/or the Wetland Conservation Act Local Government Unit (LGU) provide me with the following (check all that apply): x❑ Wetland Type Confirmation x❑ Delineation Concurrence. Concurrence with a delineation is a written notification from the Corps and a decision from the LGU concurring, not concurring, or commenting on the boundaries of the aquatic resources delineated on the property. Delineation concurrences are generally valid for five years unless site conditions change. Under this request alone, the Corps will not address the jurisdictional status of the aquatic resources on the property, only the boundaries of the resources within the review area (including wetlands, tributaries, lakes, etc.). x❑ Preliminary Jurisdictional Determination. A preliminary jurisdictional determination (PJD) is a non-binding written indication from the Corps that waters, including wetlands, identified on a parcel may be waters of the United States. For purposes of computation of impacts and compensatory mitigation requirements, a permit decision made on the basis of a PJD will treat all waters and wetlands in the review area as if they are jurisdictional waters of the U.S. PJDs are advisory in nature and may not be I appealed. ❑ Approved Jurisdictional Determination. An approved jurisdictional determination (AJD) is an official Corps determination that I jurisdictional waters of the United States are either present or absent on the property. A1Ds can generally be relied upon by the affected party for five years. An AJD may be appealed through the Corps administrative appeal process. In order for the Corps and LGU to process your request, the wetland delineation must be prepared in accordance with the 1987 Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual, any approved Regional Supplements to the 1987 Manual, and the Guidelines for Submitting Wetland Delineations in Minnesota (2013). http_:Jlwww.mvp.usace.army.mil/Missions Regulatory1DelineationJDGuidance.asp Minnesota Interagency Water Resource Application Form February 2014 Page 5 of 11
