The portion of the site south of State Highway 97 and west of Ozark has been developed based on zoningthat at required a minimum lot size of 2.5 acres in order to provide adequate room for on-site septic. The lots at the north east corner of State High 97 and County Highway 3 are a part of the Cit.. ig nal plat. Those lots are small with minimal area for on-site septic. The northeast portion of the project area is an undeveloped 45 acre parcel with 1/4 mile of frontage on STH 97. The parcel is split with 19 acres in the VMU zoning district and the remainder in the Village Neighborhood district. This parcel is being marketed for sale. Potential development of this parcel is limited by the minimum parcel size. The EDA, Planning Commission, and City Council recognize that parcel size impedes the development of the property and are interested in modifying the parcel size if an option for community septic can be provided. The City's Fire / Public Works building is located on a 7.5 acre parcel in the project area. The rear 2.5 acres of this location are not utilized and have been identified as a potential area for a community septic system. 4.

How will the proposed project and/or activities promote or increase future employment opportunities in the city/township/county (please identify your job and wage goals as a result of the proposed activities and describe how you will measure success)? The development of the undeveloped parcels would likely increase the employment within the City by 25-50% depending on the types of businesses that are located. An ancillary benefit of increased employment will be expanding the pool of employees within a radius of the Fire Station to serve as on-call firefighters. The lack of fire / EMS personnel to respond to daytime emergencies is a major issue for the City_ 9.

The work can be completed with 90 days of providing notice to proceed. 10.

The study would look at increasing the utilization of an area with mi—sand all all served b individual septic sstems.

May 24, 2018 Mr. Neil Soltis, City Administrator City of Scandia 14727 2091h Street Scandia, MN 55073 RE: Community Drain Field Study Dear Mr. Soltis: 2035 County Road D East Maplewood, MN 55109-5314 Ph: (651) 704-9970 Fax: [651) 704-9971 Bolton-Menk.com In response to your request, we have prepared a scope and fee for the work to conduct a study including the tasks shown below to determine the feasibility of a community drain field system serving the area as outlined in the attachment. We propose to complete the following tasks: • Using available LIDAR information, review the existing topography and identify the potential limits of the service area. • Review infrastructure needs including the extents of gravity sewer, lift stations and drain field location. • Calculate flows to determine the needed capacity of the system based on future land uses. • Prepare preliminary cost estimate for the ultimate system. • Prepare figures repesenting a general layout of the proposed system. Fees We estimate the cost to complete the above described work to be $8,900.00. We propose to bill the City on an hourly basis with a not to exceed limit. This estimate does not include any on-site field investigation work to be performed at this time. Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal, if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Bolton & Menk, Inc. Ryan J.
