DEC :1 1991 MEMORANDUM TO: Managers, Valley Branch Watershed District FROM: Karen Chandler/Bob Beduhn SUBJECT: Effect of New Stillwater High School and Ultimate Development on Cloverdale and McDonald Lake Water Levels and the Rate of Runoff to Cloverdale Lake DATE: December 4, 1991 The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize the results of analyses regarding the possible impact of development in the Cloverdale Lake watershed. At their November 14, 1991 meeting,the Managers directed that the following concerns be studied: 1. The effect of development on the normal and flood levels of Cloverdale Lake and McDonald Lake. 2. The effect of development on the rate of runoff to Cloverdale Lake. The two analysis results are discussed separately in the following pages. 1. Effect on Water Levels The Managers previously adopted an approximate method for determining the 100-year flood level for landlocked basins such as Cloverdale and McDonald Lakes. Because there is no surface outlet,runoff collecting in these depressions is removed only by seepage and evaporation. Therefore, a detailed flood level analysis should include the effects of seepage and evaporation. An analysis of this type can be very complex. To determine approximate flood levels for lakes such as Cloverdale and McDonald, a simpler method of analysis was devised. With this method, the approximate 100-year flood level and change in normal level can be determined using the annual runoff volumes shown in the following table(which is also in the District's Rules and Regulations): 100-year Average Net 100- Annual Annual Year Runoff Runoff Annual Volume, Volume, Volume, Land Use Inches Inches Inches Impervious 40 10 30 Turfed 18 8 10 Water Surface 12 -6 18 For Cloverdale and McDonald Lakes, the average year's runoff volume is assumed to be dissipated by the average seepage and evaporation from the lakes and the normal water level is a reflection of the average runoff. The additional runoff for a year with above normal precipitation is assumed to be stored in Cloverdale and McDonald Lakes above their normal level. The normal water levels for these lakes are assumed to be the water levels shown on the most recent USGS quadrangle map of the area. The Managers previously set 100-year flood levels for Cloverdale and McDonald Lakes by assuming ultimate land use conditions. Concerns have been raised that land use changes in the lakes'watershed may affect not only flood levels,but also affect normal water levels. The approximate method outlined above was used to assess the impacts of land use changes on the water levels of McDonald and Cloverdale Lakes. The results are shown in Table 1. 2. Effect on Runoff Rate Concern has been expressed regarding how fast stormwater runoff will reach Cloverdale Lake as a result of the Stillwater High School and other development. To date,the best available information concerning the effect of development on stormwater discharge rates is from the preliminary stormwater analysis performed by the City of Oak Park Heights' engineers. In this analysis, peak flow rates and times were estimated for the 100-year,24-hour storm for stormwater leaving the School District's southern property boundary. This analysis was performed for three different scenarios,as follows: • Existing conditions. For this condition, the peak flow rates and times were estimated by the Watershed District engineer. The discharge point is the drainage swale on the west end of the School District's southern property boundary. • Interim conditions. Under these conditions,the school site is developed and the northwest stormwater pond and the south pond are in place.The discharge point is the south pond outlet pipe(close to the school's south property boundary). • Ultimate conditions. Under these conditions, the property north of the school site and the school property are fully developed,and the pond north of the school property,the northwest pond and the south pond are in place. The discharge point is the south pond outlet pipe (close to the south property boundary). The results are summarized in Table 2. These results show the importance of providing stormwater storage in developing watersheds. The impacts of the ponding will be to delay the time of the peak discharge and to reduce the peak discharge during storm events.

Separate concerns were sent to the Watershed District engineer from Paul Bischoff; those concerns are also included. The concerns and the Watershed District engineer's responses are listed below: 1. Is there an alternate drainage route to Cloverdale Lake? Residents would like to see the gully and its trees avoided, if possible. Response: There are many alternate routes to Cloverdale Lake. However, the chosen route follows existing drainage easements. A good choice for an alternate route would be one which follows existing drainage easements and/or travels a shorter distance. A route which does not follow existing drainage easements would require the purchase of drainage easements, increasing the cost of the project. It is the City of Oak Park Heights'responsibility to determine the best route. 2. Can water be routed to Cloverdale Lake without going through the south pond - (the pond shared by the school site and Blackwood)? Response: Yes, but the south pond provides water quality treatment in an important location. It also provides additional stormwater storage to slow down flows. If the south pond is not used for stormwater storage and water quality treatment,additional ponding would be required north of the school site. The Watershed District is responsible for reviewing stormwater - storage and water quality treatment options. The Managers felt that it would be best to use the south pond for water quality purposes. 3. Connect McDonald Lake to Cloverdale Lake to control flood elevation (of _. Cloverdale Lake?). Response: Any lowering of the Cloverdale Lake overflow elevation will result in more water reaching McDonald Lake. Since McDonald Lake does not have an outlet, this would result in an increase in the flood elevation of McDonald Lake. Therefore, such a connection is not likely to be allowed unless there is an outlet constructed from McDonald Lake. 1 110 • 4. Minimize destruction in ravine when installing outlet pipe. Response: The design and construction of the outlet pipe is the City of Oak Park Heights' responsibility. However, it will require a Watershed District permit and will be reviewed. 5. Sediment and erosion controls and their effect on Cloverdale Lake water levels. Response: Currently, runoff from the school construction site is not to leave the site (or enter the south pond) until the City of Oak Park Heights constructs the south pond outlet. The advantage of this is sediment-laden water cannot reach Cloverdale Lake. The disadvantage of this is Cloverdale Lake is receiving about 25% less water, which could result in a lower water level on the lake. The School District and the contractor are concerned that the stormwater runoff generated from the site during construction will exceed the storage and seepage capacity of the northwest pond. Therefore, they will be proposing alternative interim drainage plans which may involve drainage to Cloverdale Lake. Any interim drainage plans will require Watershed District approval. The Watershed District feels it is more important to keep the sediment-laden runoff out of Cloverdale Lake. If dropping water levels become a problem, this decision can be reviewed at that time. 6. When will the Watershed District's study of the effect of the school development - on water levels be completed? Response: The study has been completed; the results will be summarized in a separate memorandum which will also be distributed. 7. Propose a route heading northeast to school property to miss Baker property route change north of 53rd Street. Response: See response to concerns #1 and #4. 8. Keep Blackwood residents informed. Response: The Watershed District will assist the City of Oak Park Heights and the School District in keeping the Blackwood residents informed. However, the ultimate responsibility lies with the City and the School District. 9. Some residents are more concerned about the effect of the development on the water quality than on the water levels of Cloverdale Lake. Response: The Watershed District is also concerned about water quality, which is why the Managers are requiring the application of Best Management Practices to reduce the water quality impacts. For this project and future 2 • development to the north, Best Management Practices include temporary and permanent erosion and sediment controls and the use of wet detention basins. According to the Metropolitan Council, some water quality degradation may be unavoidable as a result of urbanization. Watershed management techniques (such as ponds and erosion controls) can only partially offset these effects. 10. Can discharge from south pond be less than 10 cfs? Response: As the outflow from the south pond is reduced,the flood level of the south pond increases. The 100-year flood elevation for the south pond was set at Elevation 920.0 when the Blackwood 2nd and 3rd Additions received a Watershed District permit. One of the permit conditions required that the area surrounding the pond be preserved in a drainage easement up to the minimum building elevation, which was set at 921.0. However, it appears that the 3rd Addition, which contains the south pond, has not been platted. If this is true, the flood elevation for the south pond and, hence, the drainage easement, could be increased, causing a reduction in the outflow rate from the south pond. An important point is that flows in the drainageway to Cloverdale Lake will likely be higher than the outflow rate from the south pond. This is because the stormwater runoff from the lake's direct tributary area will not - flow through the south pond prior to discharge to the lake. It is the City's responsibility to design the outlet; the Watershed District will review the design. 11. Can two discharge levels be established: one for high flows and one for low flows? Response: Yes, but since the south pond outflows are already low, there may be no advantage to constructing such an outlet. 12. Will this project affect domestic wells? Response: Studies conducted as part of the EPA's Nationwide Urban Runoff Program • concluded that there was no significant impact to groundwater from infiltration basins (such as the south pond). The EPA's criteria for infiltration basins specifies that a minimum distance of two to four feet separate the bottom of the basin from the water table. Therefore, the City of Oak Park Heights should determine the depth-to the water table prior to construction of the outlet pipe. 3 S 13. The Blackwood residents want long-term water quality monitoring. Response: The Watershed District has a water quality monitoring plan in place. Cloverdale Lake (and possibly McDonald Lake)could be incorporated into the plan. The lake(s) would be monitored every three or five years. 14. Can the outlet pipe from the south pond be placed further west? Response: See response to concerns #1 and#4. 15. Nitrogen and phosphorus levels are a concern of the Blackwood residents. Response: In terms of lake water quality,phosphorus levels are of more concern than nitrogen levels. If nitrogen levels in Cloverdale Lake increase, an increase in algae growth is not likely. However, if phosphorus levels increase, an increase in algae growth is likely. Also see response to concern #9. 16. The Blackwood residents are concerned about setting lake levels so high that mature trees are destroyed. • Response: The flood levels of Cloverdale and McDonald Lakes were set based on ultimate development of the watershed. Ultimate development was determined based on available land use plans. The development of the school site is consistent with those land use plans. Therefore, the development will not result in flood levels higher than those previously computed. The flood levels of Cloverdale and/or McDonald Lakes cannot be lowered unless there is an outlet constructed from McDonald Lake. An important note is that the 908 flood elevation set for Cloverdale Lake is an estimate of the overflow elevation. To determine the exact overflow elevation, it will have to be surveyed. This could be done at the time of construction. 17. Has an Environmental Assessment Worksheet been prepared for the project? Response: According to the information provided on the Watershed District's permit application form, an environmental assessment (either an E.A.W. or an E.I.S.) was prepared in May of this year. The Watershed District has not received a copy of the document, so it has not been reviewed. Either the School District or the City should provide the Watershed District with a copy of the document. 18. How much water will be reaching Cloverdale Lake as a result of development? Response: The Watershed District's study of the effect of development on water levels answers the question regarding volume of water. 4 19. What can Cloverdale Lake and the adjoining marsh handle? Response: In terms of runoff volume, there is a certain amount of storage capacity available in the combined lake and marsh before it overflows into McDonald Lake. Again, this is addressed in the Watershed District's study. 20. Could the outlet from the south pond be raised ten feet to avoid destroying the gully? Response: If the outlet from the south pond was raised ten feet, there would be very little storage available for the reduction of the pond outflow rates, assuming the same flood elevation of 920 is to be maintained. If the same size outlet was installed as is currently planned but ten feet higher, the flood elevation would increase between five and ten feet. See also the responses to concerns #1, #4, and #10. 21. Will the on-site ponding provide storage or will flows just be passed through? _ Response: The ponding on the school site and on the property to the north (to be constructed at the time of development) will provide enough storage that the rate of runoff from the school property will be less than the existing rate of runoff. 22. Of what use are skimmers? Response: Skimmers trap floatable materials (oil, grease, styrofoam, etc.) to prevent them from being transported downstream. Sump manholes provide sedimentation and act as skimmers. • 5 NOV - 22 - 91 F R I 16 : 06 B O N E S T R O O ASSOCIATES P 02 S MEMO N T File No, 55100 November 20, 1991 Meeting with citizen group who are land owners around Cloverdale and McDonald Lake.

SHOEBERG THOMAS J.WEIDNER Ei Karl M. Ranum, Esq. Ranum Law Offices, P.A. 104 North Main Street Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Independent School District #834 - CUP Application Dear Mr. Ranum: I am in receipt of your correspondence dated September 26, 1991, received on Friday, the 27th. I take issue with your statements contained in the letter that imply that somehow City personnel have delayed your client's project. Numerous hearings have been held on this matter as set before the City and documented on the agenda, which meetings were continued or tabled at the request of your client because your client was not prepared. Your client had not done the preliminary work necessary to address issues that could have been addressed earlier in this process. The City of Oak Park Heights has bent over backwards to try to assist your client, inclusive of the most recent workshop sessions now scheduled for the 30th of this month at the instruction of the Mayor and the Council. The issues that have been presented to your client are consistent with those which have already been received through commentary process on the Environmental Assessment Worksheet, letters from the Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, reports of Northwest Associate Consultants, engineering reports from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates, and others. Assuming you and your client have been reviewing those reports, the significant issues that face this development are clearly outlined within those documents. M I Karl Ranum, Esq. September 27, 1991 Page Two At the request of Mayor O'Neal, I have prepared and have transmitted to the City a listing of the issues that I feel need to be addressed, although I do not regard that list to be an exclusive one. Certainly other department heads of the staff will review that list and add to it before Monday night's hearing. I believe it also appropriate that you and your client review your documents and files in this matter and prepare a list or agenda of items that you need to have addressed as it relates to your development and share that with the Cit, in advance of Monday night's workshop session.

September 21, 1991 City of Oak Park Heights 14168 57th Street North Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Re: AL AND ELAINE KRUEGER'S CONCERNS AND QUESTIONS Dear Mayor and Council: We have reviewed the construction plans of School District 834 and have met with the school district officials. They do not plan to fence our boundary line adjoining the school property. We request, as we have before, the fencing be added as a requirement of the C.U.P. and be installed prior to the occupancy of the school building. We have a tree farm with mature trees for transplanting and also for sale as Christmas trees. We also have young nursery stock. If sanitary sewer, watermain or street construction is being planned for the 1992 construction season, on our property, we must be notified immediately to give us enough time to move or sell any trees which would be in the construction area. We need to know the alignment of any construction and the width of the construction working area. We have reviewed Mr. Anderlik's revised alignment of Wash;.,:'-ton enue and find this alignment acceptable to serve our land. What is the city policy on storm sewer? How much money are the storm sewer assessments? Is the storm sewer assessment paid as a building permit fee? Where will the sanitary sewer and watermain be located to serve the school? When will these lines be designed and constructed? Are these lines trunk lines or will they also be lateral lines? What will the assessment be on the Krueger land for these improvements? If the assessments are deferred and charged as hook-up fees, how much will the interest and debt service fees be for each year? When will 58th Street be constructed? Will the Minnesota Department of Transportation pay a portion of this road cost if they use the road for a Trunk Highway 36 bypass during the reconstruction of Trunk Highway 36? Will sanitary sewer be installed in 58th Street at the time of the street construction? When will Washington Avenue be constructed? Will the Krueger land be assessed and if so, how much? Where will the storm water from the Haase commercial development pond overflow? This letter contains questions and concerns which we can think of at this time. We need to know the City's plans, timetables, assessment policies and any other information which will help us schedule our tree business and land sales.

It's important that the following concerns be addressed: 1. The traffic analysis is inadequate and the impact to the transportation system can not be determined. It would be beneficial if the traffic analysis addressed both the current and future geometrics on TH 5 and TH 36. Interim improvements may be required until the interchange is constructed at TH 5 and TH 36. 2. Many of the assumptions included in the traffic analysis are inaccurate and misleading. The analysis was based on the assumption TH 5 would be constructed to four lanes; the interchange at TH 5 and TH 36 would be completed; and a signal will be installed on TH 5 at the entrance to the school. • The final design of TH 5 may or may not be four lanes. Mn/DOT would like to work with the School District to determine the appropriate location and configuration of the school accesses relative to the final design of TH 5. • Mn/DOT's plan to reconstruct the interchange at TH 5 and TH 36 is currently scheduled for a December of 1993 letting and construction will not start until 1994. The school is scheduled to be open in the fall of 1993. An Equal Opportunity Employer Ms. Lavonne Wilson June 28, 1991 Page 2 • Mn/DOT has not reviewed the warrants and/or justification for the proposed signals at the school entrance and the TH 5 ramps. The school will be financially responsible for presenting the appropriate studies to Mn/DOT in order to determine the need and responsibility for these signals. 3. A detailed site plan of the school should be submitted to Mn/DOT for review. The location of the school entrances can not be identified. Mn/DOT is available to work with the School District to create safe access to the site. Mn/DOT is concerned with the number and proximity of accesses on TH 5 in the study area. 4. Grading and drainage plans should be submitted to Mn/DOT for review prior to development of the property. Mn/DOT is particularly concerned with regard to the drainage issues outlined in the attached October 12, 1989 Conference Report. In addition, it appears as if a permit will also be required from the Valley Branch Watershed District. If so, the Watershed District should also be listed as a permitting agency. 5. It is important that Mn/DOT be listed as a permitting agency. Both an entrance and drainage permit will be required. Permits should not be expected from Mn/DOT until the design and responsibility of needed transportation improvements to the State's system have been agreed to with the City of Oak Park Heights and the School District. Again, thank you for the opportunity to review the EAW. If you have any questions regarding our comments, please contact Vaira D.

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) staff has reviewed the document and has the following comments. Item 6: We are pleased to note that four wetlands will be preserved for environmental study. Item 9: This item should have included a discussion of the capacity of the Stillwater wastewater treatment system and its ability to handle the additional flow. Item lOb: Governor Carlson's Executive Order 91-3 (copy attached) directing state agencies to follow a no net loss policy in regards to wetlands should be addressed as part of this project. Under this policy, a sequenced action to avoid, minimize, and mitigate wetland losses should be demonstrated to have been performed to show that the taking and loss of wetlands is the only alternative. We note that a .5-acre type 1 wetland will be filled, and that two small wetlands of .8 acres may be impacted, but design is not complete, so this is not certain. A sequenced analysis, as given above, should be followed for these as well. Finally, the best mitigation is acre for acre, onsite replacement. The mitigation plan should also include ecological goals that can be monitored acid reported to substantiate the functioning of any new wetlands created. Since creation of new wetlands on upland areas is difficult, efforts should be made to restore previously-degraded wetlands in the vicinity to achieve compensatory mitigation. Item 21.a: This item does not specify how often the hazardous wastes are generated and discarded. Are these monthly generation rates as well? Regional Offices: Duluth • Brainerd • Detroit Lakes • Marshall • Rochester Equal Opportunity Employer • Printed on Recycled Paper • Ms. Lavonne Wilson Page 2 We note the intention to landfill PCB ballasts. Since PCBs are hazardous wastes, this is not permissible in Minnesota. If the intention is to send these wastes via licensed hauler to an out-of-state hazardous waste landfill, this should have been spelled out. We note the intention to sewer certain hazardous chemicals. Under a recent guideline from the En vironmental Protectio n A ge n cy (EPA), this may no long er be permissible. We request that you contact Ed Meyer of the MPCA Hazardous Waste Division at 297-8365 to discuss the hazardous waste issues under this item. Item 21.b: No permit is required for this underground tank, but you must disclose its location and other pertinent information to MPCA. Please contact Michael Kanner of the MPCA Tanks and Spills Unit at 297-8564 to discuss our requirements. Please direct further discussion of this matter to William J. Lynott of my staff at 296-7794.

All responsible departments and agencies of the State of Minnesota shall protect,enhance,and restore Minnesota's wetlands to the fullest extent of their authority; B, All responsible departments and agencies of the State of Minnesota shall operate to the fullest extent of their authority under the strict concept of"NO-NET LOSS"of wetlands of the state in regard to projects under their jurisdiction; • C. All responsible departments and agencies of the State of Minnesota shall survey and categorize all wetlands on land being'acquired by or donated to the state and on public lands threatened by devel- opment activities.Acquisition decisions and subsequent management plans shall mitigate ecological impacts as a result of development activities; D. All responsible departments and agencies of the State of Minnesota shall be guided by the following prioritized criteria in the implementation of this"NO-NET LOSS"executive order; 1) AVOID the impact altogether by not taking a certain action or actions; 2) MINIMIZE the impact by limiting the degree or magnitude of the action by using appropriate technologies or by taking affirmative steps to avoid or reduce the impact; 3) MITIGATE all functional values of the wetlands that have been diminished. Mitigation must. in order of importance, be accomplished by: first, restoration of drained or diminished wetlands; second, enhancement of existing wetlands; and last, by creation of new wetlands; E. The head of each department or agency shall,by appropriate means,ensure that all staff are advised of this order and shall by January 1 of each year report to the Commissioner of Natural Resources on efforts to comply with this order;and F. The Commissioner of Natural Resources shall,by March 1 of each year,report to the Governor and the chairs of the Senate and House environment committees a composite report on implementation of the order and the status of Minnesota's wetlands. In addition, I hereby encourage all local units of government to adopt "NO-NET LOSS" wetlands resolutions guiding public actions within their jurisdiction. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 1990,Section 4.035,this Order shall be effective fifteen(15)days after publication in the State Register and filing with the Secretary of State•and shall remain in effect until rescinded by proper authority or it expires in accordance with Minnesota Statutes 1990,Section 4.035,Subdivision 3.

It has been reviewed pursuant to responsibilities given to the Minnesota Historical Society by the Minnesota Historic Sites Act and the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act and through the process outlined in Minnesota Rules 4410.1600. With regard to the information presented in response to question 26a, we have the following concerns: 1. There is a recorded archaeological site in the vicinity of this project, and we believe that there is a good probability that unrecorded sites may be located on the project site. Therefore, we recommend that a reconnaissance level archaeological survey of the project site be com- pleted. If any sites are found, a plan to avoid these areas and/or to mitigate any adverse effects should be implemented and developed. The report of the survey should be submitted to our office for review. (If the project area can be documented as previously disturbed or previously surveyed, we will re-evaluate the need for survey. ) A list of ar- chaeological consultants is attached. 2. The buildings of the Kern Farmstead should be inventoried and evaluated for eligibility for listing on the National Register. If they are eligible, they should be avoided, or, if this is not possible, they should be appropriately recorded to the standards of the Historic American Buildings Survey before removal. The results of the evaluation should be submitted to our office for review; if recordation is neces- sary, we will assist with formulating the appropriate level of documen- tation. A list of historical consultants is also attached. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this review. Sincerely, Dennis A.

Oak Park Heights, MN 55082 Dear Ms. Wilson: I am the owner of the adjoining property along the south line of the School District' s proposed new High School. My concerns, and those of my customers in the Blackwood neighborhood are threefold. 1 . There is a landscaping plan that addresses the concerns of our neighborhood but no guarantees that it will be followed. That is, there is no budget set up for it so far. 2 . None of the agencies such as the Browns' Creek Water Management Organization, Valley Branch Watershed, nor the Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, have drainage plans available on the project, nor do I . 3 . The fence alignment has not been settled with me on the east end of our common line. The purchase never should have been finalized without that issue resolved. Even though this may not be the proper time or forum, I would hope that no permits would be granted until these issues are dealt with.

Wilson: The 30-day review and comment period for this EAW will end on July 10, 1991. A decision on the need for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) must now be made in accordance with the standard and procedures of part 4410. 1700. An EIS must be ordered if you find that the project has the potential for significant environmental effects. In making this decision you must compare the impacts that may be reasonably expected to occur with the following criteria: a. type, extent, and reversibility of effects; b. cumulative potential effects of related or anticipated future projects; c. extent to which effects can be mitigated by ongoing public regulatory authorities; and d. extent to which effects can be anticipated and controlled as a result of other studies undertaken by public agencies or the project proposer, or of previous EISs. In making the EIS decision the following procedural requirements must be met: 1. The tll efr QrG for the decision ,C1e1d7 upon whether the decision r will be made by a single individual or by a council, board, or other body which meets only periodically. If by an individual, the decision is to be made within 15 working days of the expiration of the comment period. If by a body which meets only periodically, the decision is to be made at the first meeting held three or more working days after the end of the comment period and no more than 30 calendar days afterwards. These timeframes may be extended for the reason cited in item 3 below. 2 . You must maintain a written record of some sort, including specific findings of fact, which supports your decision. The record must include specific responses to all substantive, timely comments received on the EAW. The record should reflect the findings about the project with respect to the criteria listed above based on the information in the EAW itself and in any timely comments received. An Equal Opportunity Employer -2- 3 . If you determine that information critical to a reasoned decision about the potential for, or significance of, any possible environmental effects is lacking, you must postpone the decision on the need for an EIS for up to 30 days in order to obtain the lacking information, or alternatively, you may proceed to prepare an EIS and obtain the information as part of the EIS process. If the decision is postponed, you must provide a written notice within five working days to the proposer, the EQB staff, and anyone who s ub mit ted su bs tan tive comments on the EAW; the notice must identify the lacking information. 4. A notice of the decision on the need for an EIS is to be sent within five working days to the EQB staff, all persons on the EAW distribution list, all persons who commented, and anyone else who requests notification. Along with the notice, all persons who submitted timely, substantive comments must receive a copy of your response to their comments. The EQB will publish notice of your decision in the EOB Monitor. 5. If your decision is to prepare an EIS, your notice must also include your prop so ed scope of the EIS and the date, time and place of the scoping meeting. Please call me before scheduling a scoping meeting to assure that the meeting will fall between 10 working days and 20 calendar days after publication of the notice in the EOB Monitor. The scoping meeting must also be noticed by a press release. Please contact me if you have any questions about the EIS need decision process. Sincerely, trl ir , F0 Gregg M.

The Environmental Review Program rules (at Minnesota Rules, part 4410. 1500, item B) require that a press release containing notice of the EAW availability be provided to at least one newspaper of general circulation within the area and that copies of the EAW be distributed to all points on the EQB distribution list. We presume that these requirements have been met. Notice of the EAW availability will be published in the EQB Monitor on June 10, 1991. The 30-day comment period will begin on that day and will expire on July 12, 1991. Pursuant to Minnesota Rules, part 4410. 3100, subpart 1, no final governmental decision to grant a permit, approve the project, or begin the project may be made until a negative declaration or EIS adequacy determination has been made. Please contact me if any questions arise about the Environmental Review process. My phone number. is (612) 296-8253 , or you may call toll-free by dialing 1-600-652-9Z44 and asking for the Environmental Quality Board, Environmental Review Program. Sincerely, Gregg M.

The staff review has concluded that the EAW is complete and accurate with respect to regional concerns and raises no major issues of consistency with Council policies. An EIS is not necessary for regional purposes. Staff notes,however,that there are a number of items contained in the EAW that are in conflict with adopted Council policy. The EAW indicates that a one-half acre, Type 1 wetland will be filled and that this is permissible under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's National Wetland Permit. However, Council policy in the Water Resources Management Development Guide/Policy Plan, Part III states that all protected and unprotected wetlands should be preserved and when an element of the natural drainage system is altered or destroyed, a compensating or mitigating measure should be provided. Therefore, the EAW needs to address what compensating or mitigating measure will be taken for altering or destroying this wetland. The EAW also indicates an intent to use the remaining wetlands as stormwater detention ponds. Council policy states that these natural drainage systems should be preserved. Utilization of wetlands for primary treatment of urban runoff is not recommended as a best management practice. This is because runoff from urban uses,including schools,parking lots and athletic fields can have a deleterious effect on natural wetlands, such as accelerating the accumulation of sediment and the bioaccumulation of heavy metals. Consequently,it is necessary that detention ponds be designed in accordance with National Urban Runoff Program (NURP) standards. Constructed detention placed ahead of natural wetlands will allow the natural wetlands to remain viable to provide nutrient uptake and allow natural storage,drainage and infiltration processes to continue. This will conclude the Council's review of the EAW. No formal action on the EAW will be taken by the Council. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact Barbara Senness, Council staff at 291-6419. Sincerely, / Roger Israel, Director Research and Long Range Planning cc: E.

It is not intended as a subsataue for the EQB rules thernstIvls,and shoe not be Used as such. The EAW is&fined by state=one to be a"'crief dtxument which is signed to set out the hat fans necca ay to determine whether an EIS is required for a prop:. oed action." The purpose of the EAW process is to disclose information about potential environmental imps as of the project. The LAW yx xes is not an approval process. The infatuation disclosed in the EAW process has two funcricns: (1) it is used to deaarnine whether an EIS is needed; and(2) it indicates how the project can be modified to leasen its environmental impacts—such ;modifications may be impowd as permit condition t ' teguIatLry agencies. The Infotnadon dixtosed ci ties from three sources: (1) the EAW itself;(2)comments receh d on de EAW;and(3) tesponses made to comments nx;cived on the EAW. However,the EAW ix.icif is generally the most important scnar.e of information. The EAW process Involves four major steps: Step I - The proposer of the project sus data riecetmry for the completion of the EAW to the Responsible Governmental Unit(RGU). Step 2- The RGU prepares the EAW. Step 3. 30-day public comment poiod. Step 4• The ROL! responds to the comments received and makes a decision on the rived for an US blued on the EAW,comments received,and tree responses to the comments. The RGU and other units of govenunent may require modifications to the ptrjea to mitigate cnviabrnnencti imports as disclosed through the EAW process. A flow chart of the LAW prucesli is shown hi an accompanying figure. When is an EAW Required? An EAW is required for any pojea Bare!in the"mandatory PAW categories"of the EQB rules,at parts 4410.43(X). (These mandatory categories are also found in the EQ13's booklet Cul& to the Rules.) An EAW is also required whencvcyr a unit of government with approval atuihaity over the project date mint that an LAW should be pre seed becau.se available evidence indicates that the project"tray have the potential far significant environrrxxttai effects." Usually,such a die eaon try er c sion to require an EAW is trade in response to a citizens' pennon filed undo'EQB rule part 4410.1160. An EAW is also preponAl as the first Rep in the review process when an EIS is required for a project In these cases,the EAW serves to den nbe th.t project and its environmental setting for purposes of sc ping the EIS. r, 3 ,ENVIROSCIENCE , _INC .

Additional infomnadon re titling this frotubition,including conditional appnvais cantiigent on environmental review,is presented in the booklet Guide to the Rules.available from the EQB. How is it Determined What Governmental Unit is the RGU? EQB rules assign . siii for t tine'r'AW and tiers rrrininn the need fa an EIS to a specific unit f of cmrrtcnt called the 'bee Gowa'irrr,.rntal Unit' or"RGU." RGU is generally the unit with gQ+� the gtratest responsibility nsibility for approving ar strpervisi g the project For mandatory EAWs, the mandatory Category in the EQB rules assigns the RGU. For Citizen petitions,the EQB Oa i'designates the RGU, if a unit of govtrunent Ordt.M an EAW on its own initiative, it becornz the RGU. A sate agency is always the RGU fa projects it will conduct itself. Who Prepares the EAW and Who Pays for Its Costs? Prtpraticxn of the EAW is covered in more derail in the following chapter,but briefly, the project frojxn ar is required to supply any data or information requw.ed by tlx:RGU which is in his or her possession or to which he or she has teasotnuble accez,whale it is the duty of the RGU to complete the fcxtr. The environmental review statutes and rules are silent on the cession of costs,however,bCal units of government frequently have eructed orinances which allow them to charge propoos for at least some of their EAW costs. In the majority of casts,these costs are relatively small. me 30-Day Comment Period T� t e pubic comment period be , son Y��that the GIB `+7 1 .. •T t.:. t,11 S. .- • a' `iI • • 1111 1 EAW in the EOB Monitor,a biweekly publication of the EQB.

(Because the nu"'rres and addresses on this list change quite frequently, this list is pkalcshed sepaYately from the FAY:'t"�uidebnes:) rs- f RGU must send a esu release (not a paid legal road.—that is optiaaal) to at least one newspaper of get>e^al circolatio n in the gem of the I]ct anmoloang the availability of tbe LAW. The RGU unrest make copies available for Public review at 447f0prialt. locations. Upon wrl .n goes., any pcmth must be fumiah.d with a copy of the EAW; the RGU may charge ex pomp() for copying edits,however. Dtaing the comment period,anyone who wishes to may review and comment on the LAW, Comments must be submitted to the RGU within the 30-day period, The ROt) tasty hold public meedr,gs,at it dixtedcm,-to ventral comments Comments on an EAW may add= the accuracy and cornplettness of the material; pcxentiai impacts that ',vat-mot firther invesligion before the project is commenced;and the need for an EIS. T it ally,only some of the agencies that receive des of the EAW will comment on the EAW,dizertding on which agencies have iurisdicticn and expertise related to the palatal impacts of trt project and on the magniradc of the impacts. Response to Comments and the Decision on the Need for an EIS, The RGU is to make a decision on the treed for an EIS between 3 working days and 30 calendar days after the close of the 30-day comment prod, tails the decision will be made by a single individual rather than by a bwrd Cr council. (Decisions by angle individuals must be arcade witiurt 15 working days,tuntecc the EQB Chair hor es up to a 15 working day extenszon.) l-1owever, if the RGU determines that certain information odtiml to the EIS tkcision it lading,it may postpone dx decision fr up to SO days o allow for the gathering of that information The deciUcxt on the need for an EIS must be made in conic-mane with pact 4410.170)of the EQB's rules. The standard to be applied is as follows: "Ar, ..1S shall be crtikaCd for projects that have rate potential for siwnifny ant envirmmCrnal effect': (Subpart 1) "In deciding whether a pmyect has the potential for significant environmental effects ex RGU shall compare the impacts that may r,.usinably be expected to ecru Eort at project with the criteria": A.Type,extent, and reversibility of environmental effects; B.

The ir,forniatien and reasoning relied upon in=Chin, 6 the decision must be documented in a written moored supperting the decision containing"specific findings of • • G. • fact," As art of this pry the ROU mtg make swcifk: written re.voraws to all ngxe-i tdil Ytely comments rc d cxz t c SAW (:a^.d provide the reepon ses to those wtu)submitted the .a trams). There is no specific format that must be tamed for the record of riet.aOn, It may be a spa.°::lily prepared document or a %.;,acei of the minutes or other document routinely prepared by the RGU. The implant thing is that th re tx evidence that the RGU took a"hard " at each miserably bly likely environmental effect as i disciosed by the EAW and atnunerus,drew a reaaattable conclusion alxiut the grtificance of with effect based on the facts disclosed and the far criteria cite above,and made a rez nsbie overall conclusion about the potential of the ptoject for ygtif cant en ire nmental effect. One way to crwanize the findings of fact in the.record of decision would be to follow the order in which the va„xious environmental effects are listed in the EAW form. De4 of dam;insufficient intonation. Satan 2a of 4410.1700 provides that the RGU may delay the EIS neeci decision in the event that it dc:Sei;ttinG,that"iriFortstadat rry to a roasored decision about the potential for,or significance of,one or more possible envirt?tunental impacts is lacking,but could be rest mably o tali tt" It is intended that the da-ision be delayed only if the missing traromzanan is fnnrporrantt to the F.15 need decLcion.

The following comments were made: 1. MNDOT representatives stated they usually need a minimum of 3 years with all questions answered before staring construction; thus, the earliest the Highway 5/36 interchange work could be completed in 1994. The access road will be included, but its location is not fixed. MNDOT wants to work cooperatively with the City and the School District to find the best locations onto Highway 5 for the access road, school access, and east-west feeder streets. It would be desirable for school traffic to connect to the east-west collector street or the access road instead of directly onto Highway 5; however, if the school traffic connects onto Highway 5 directly,minimal spacing between egress points should be 600'. MNDOT will include sidewalk and bike lane on bridge. The VAA proposal could proceed once MNDOT's plans are final, even though construction was not complete. 2. The School Board has given the VAA 60 days to develop their idea as a reality. 3. Alan Brixus, Northwest Planning (representing the City of Oak Park Heights) stated the design and location of the east-west collector street requires additional study and no location has been chosen at this time. The collector street may not be built in time for the opening of school. A park trail system may be developed with the collector streets. 4. Dan Parker stated the School District would cooperate with all parties as to location of a collector street. A collector street parallel to the south property line would be acceptable if the assessments were not unreasonable. + Y • ARMSTRONG, TORSETH, SKOLD AND RYDEEN, INC.

As part of the preparation of the Policy Plan, research and background information is being obtained concerning the school site, the VAA site and their relationship with the conceptual development plan of the southwest area. Many issues and questions have come up concerning these proposals which must be addressed. Our office finds these issues numerous and complicated enough that we are requesting the City review these issues and provide us with some direction as to how the City would like us to proceed. The following is a list of land use and park issues that need to be addressed by the City. • • 4601 Excelsior Blvd.•Suite 410•Minneapolis, MN 55416•(612) 925-9420• Fax 925-2721 • PLAN STATEMENT INTRODUCTION If a good park and open space system is to be achieved, it must be planned for. A plan enables the Community to analyze its past performance while setting the goals and objectives for satisfying the future needs and desires of its citizens . With the City' s annexation in 1988 of approximately 200 acres of land west of Oakgreen Avenue, consideration must be given to establishing park land within this area as this land is currently experiencing development interest. Since development pressures tend to seize and hold some of the best potential park lands , Oak Park Heights must locate and secure adequate park and open space land far in advance of development, before the price rises beyond what the community can afford or before the land is used up for other purposes . Principal development interest comes from the School Board proposal for a new high school and the VAA' s proposal for an athletic complex. Both of the projects will greatly impact the City in terms of future development, future park needs and the future land use of this area . School District 834 is presently in the process of developing a 126 acre site which will become the new high school . The site will access Highway 5 and will contain the school building, parking, athletic fields , and a natural preserve area. The St. Croix Valley Athletic Association is proposing, in conjunction with the school site, a complete sports complex. Developed primarily for the VAA, the facilities will also be available to the public . OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: 1 . Establish standards for park dedication and acquisition. These standards will provide the City with rules so that all developers are treated, equally for determining park land dedication standards . Acquisition standards must be treated in the same way. 2 . Esta` lishing standards for proper park spacing. Intensity levels of parks require different needs and acreage requirements . Furthermore, the demand area must be within walking distance of residential areas or accessed by a collector street. Establishing spacing standards will provide for proper spacing of parks to meet these criteria. 2 411 411 3 . Establish park design criteria . These criteria will include the type of park and facilities it should offer. 4 . Establish a trail system for this area which will connect the school and VAA to the balance of the City and to major community destinations . Specific sites must be established so the City can make the appropriate decisions towards acquisition of these sites . The Policy Plan will identify the issues and policy statements for park lands as they relate to: physical setting parameters , land acquisition parameters and trail needs . The plan will also identify type of parks , physical size, type of activities , and service areas for these parks and make recommendations on how the City should plan for and obtain the necessary park land to service this annexed area and the outlying area. DEFINITION OF STUDY AREA The park land study area contains lands annexed in 1988 and adjacent lands to the west and south as shown on the Southwest Area Land Use Concept Map. The study area is bounded by Oakgreen Avenue to the east, Highway 36 on the north, State Highway 5 to the west and lands within a mile south of Highway 36 . Proposed development of this area consists of continuation of commercial uses along Highway 36 . Multiple family is proposed as the next layer to the south and the remainder will be single family. The central region will have smaller lots while to the south, larger lot single family is proposed. For planning purposes , the study area is broken down into three zones . Each zone represents a different chronological development stage. Zone 1 is the area annexed by the City in 1988 and represents the first area to direct and encourage development. Zone 2 contains vacant land in Baytown Township and the proposed high school and VAA site. Zone 3 represents the final stage for development in the study area. Zone 3 will remain in Baytown Township with no thought of annexation in the near future . Land use within each of the three future zones will be classified as either single family, multiple family or commercial . i 3 • S PHYSICAL FEATURES The physical features that produce effects on this area include the State highways which are external boundaries , topography and wetland locations . Highway 36 , Highway 5 and Oakgreen Avenue create restrictive barriers to both development and traffic flow by limiting access points to the study area. Topography in the area is generally flat to rolling with a the study area Small wetlands rolling y rol q p ortion in the center of are located throughout the study area while a small concentration exists in the center of the study area . Streets: The existing street pattern serving the area consists of Highway 36 , Highway 5 and Oakgreen Avenue . MnDOT has developed a functional classification system for the major roads in the State . This system gives definitions to each class of road to determine its function. Highway 36 is classified as an intermediate arterial, Highway 5 is a minor arterial, and Oakgreen Avenue is an urban collector. Intermediate arterials are those roads which provide service to sub-regions , provides access to minor arterials and major traffic generators . Minor arterials are those roads which provide service of an intra-community nature connecting urban concentrations to rural major collector roads which in turn provide access to principal collectors and collector streets . Urban collectors provide service for local traffic collection and distribution between collector streets and arterials . Urban collectors provide access to minor arterials and local streets . study area develops , a street system consisting of As the y p Y sufficient size and functional class must be established to provide efficient traffic flow through a rea. Due to the the proposed development pattern, there is going to be a need for a collector street system which will efficiently channel traffic from residential neighborhoods to the arterials which border and serve the study area. Study area configuration and proposed development patterns suggest a need for both east-west and north-south collector streets . Based on past discussion, it has been suggested that an east-west collector be built along the NSP power line easement. Following an existing easement would help reduce land acquisition . costs . The Highway 5 access for this collector should be coordinated with the existing frontage road access and the high school and proposed VAA site so access points are minimized. 4 s Based upon Met Council spacing standards and the high school site location, it would be advantageous to run a collector street along the south border of the school site. This would provide another through street from Highway 5 to Oakgreen Avenue. Providing two additional east-west roads will take some pressure off of the Highway 5/Highway 36 interchange since all of the high school traffic will exit and enter on Highway 5 . This access point again should be coordinated with the school site to reduce access points on Highway 5 . A north-south collector pattern must also be established to provide access to the middle of the area. Oakgreen Avenue is already an established collector. A second north-south collector should be investigated to provide for efficient traffic flow. At this point, no detailed collectors are being suggested, however, upon finalization of high school plans, some consideration must be given to this proposal for a second collector. Land Use Patterns : Land use patterns become issues when determining park locations . Density of development becomes a factor also . The original land use concept provided for multiple family to develop behind the entire commercial zone out to Highway 5 . Further research and review has necessitated rethinking this original plan. The City of Oak Park Heights will likely continue to increase in population at a steady rate. The population doubled from 1, 256 in 1970 to 2 , 591 in 1980 . Population increased again from 1980 to 1990 although at a slower pace. Recently annexed land in 1988 and potential annexation of lands to Highway 5 will provide the City with ample developable land for residential growth. With this projected growth comes the needs and demands for increased park land. Potential population counts have been calculated to determine the amount of acres of park land that will be required to satisfy the needs of the area. Park land locations will be determined by population density projections , street patterns and spacing standards which determine the potential demand area for each type of park based on facilities offered. Appropriate spacing standards must be • established so that ark location and facilities will best p serve the local populations without requiring long travel distances or providing parks too close together with many of the. same features . Neighborhood park spacing standards should be based on demand area and walking distances to parks of one-quarter to one- half mile. 5 S !II Existing land use consists of spot commercial development along the south side of Highway 36 , residential housing along Oakgreen Avenue, while the remainder of the area is in agriculture and open space . Some of the agricultural uses include tree farms . To achieve a full picture of development potential for the study area, two potential development patterns will be looked at, one which anticipated only a small portion of new multiple family and the other which projects a larger area for multiple family. These two different development scenarios will be looked at to identify population, park land needs and location. Defined as Scenarios 1 and 2 , both will be looked at as to their own individual impact on park location. Proposed land use for both scenarios will consist of commercial, single family, multiple family and possibly public . Commercial zoning will consist of B-2 , General Business District zoning which will be a continuation of the existing B-2 along Highway 36 . The B-2 will extend westward along Highway 36 to the Highway 5 interchange . Its southern boundary will be the Northern States Power Company easement. Scenario 1 As illustrated in Figure 1 , multiple family use will consist of R-3 , Multiple Family Residential District. Apartment buildings will be anticipated dwelling units with an assumed density of 12 units per acre . R-3 zoning will be located just south of the commercial zone on Highway 36 and will be an extension of the multiple family that exists in the extreme northeast corner. It will be bound on the south by the northernmost collector street. R-3 will extend westward out to Highway 5 . The remainder of the study area will be zoned R-1, Single Family Residential with an anticipated density of three units per acre. Scenario 2 As illustrated in Figure 2, Scenario 2 assumes the same multiple family use but does not anticipate the same number of acres needed for R-3 as Scenario 1 does . Apartment markets are not as strong as they were two years ago and therefore, less construction is taking place. Scenario 2 projects R-3 zoning to extend westward from Oakgreen Avenue to roughly the middle of the study area, which is anticipated to be the location of a north- south collector street . The remainder of land in Scenario 2 will be in R-1, single family homes . The school site, located along Highway 5 is anticipated to be zoned 0, Open Space Conservation District. 6 • S Population Forecasts: Determining park size and location is a factor of population forecasts . Forecasts for maximum potential population and housing units were calculated for both Scenarios 1 and 2 . These calculations are summarized on Tables 2 and 3 . Population forecasts were arrived at by computing total acres of each zoning district (Table 1) , then taking these acreages and multiplying them times the density allowed in those districts to produce maximum number of units which could be built in each district . A total potential population for each district is computed by taking total household count times the projected persons per household. Park land dedication requirements are determined by using total population and City park land dedication calculation summaries . Tables 2 and 3 illustrate the total required park land requirements using both Oak Park Heights requirements and the Met Council 's . This information is provided for comparison only. Based on these projections , it is anticipated that for Zones 1 and 2 , the City will require a total of approximately 40 acres to be developed in park land .

Large traffic volume streets create physical barriers , especially for young children as crossing these streets become a deterrent and a safety hazard. Park location must be taken into account so that users only have to cross a minimum amount of streets . Site conditions greatly influence the type of facilities the park site can accommodate . Type of park must also be matched with the particular site conditions . The City contains many small wetlands surrounded by trees . These site attributes make this a logical place for a passive, natural type of park. Trail systems provide the best usage of park land in these areas . Naturally flat open areas lend themselves to more active neighborhood parks which contain ball fields , court games , and playground equipment . Based on site attributes and population projections , the City should concentrate on parks which are geared for neighborhood use. Neighborhood playground and linear natural parks would provide the new residents of this area with sufficient park needs . Neighborhood playground parks are areas for intense recreational activities, including field games , court games , play equipment and skating rinks . The service area should be one-quarter to one-half mile radius from the park. The site size should be approximately 10-15 acres to be of sufficient size. The site should be suited for intense development and located along or near collector streets providing easy access to intended service areas . Figure 3 illustrates a typical neighborhood park. The site contains some on-site parking to reduce traffic congestion. A 10 to 15 acre park provides ample space for both court and field games and for winter time activities , such as skating. Pending regional park facility proposals may reduce the need in a neighborhood park. The park could be geared more for children providing more play equipment and less field game area. Linear natural parks are areas developed for modes of recreational travel such as hiking, biking, cross country skiing and walking. The service area should be one-quarter to one-half mile radius from the park. The park size should be sufficient in length and width to accomplish the purpose. Site attributes should be complete natural settings with natural or existing trails . Site location should be where natural settings occur, link other parks and community facilities such as schools . 10 III -- 411 411 Zone 3 of the study area must be given preliminary attention as well so as to provide for appropriate park land if this area is to be annexed in the future. This area is anticipated to develop in all single family lots which would create a large population base and large park land requirements . The City must review its future plans to determine its role in the development of this area. If this land is to be acquired by the City, then park planning must take place now so a cohesive, connected park plan can take place for the entire study area. The proposed high school and VAA complex will also affect park location and type of park proposed based on the type of facilities proposed at these two sites . The high school site will provide facilities for its varsity sports, gymnastics and open space for environmental studies . Athletic facilities provided would include: football fields (both practice and game fields) , baseball and softball (practice and game) , soccer fields and tennis courts . Exact facilities including number, amount and location have not been determined. The environmental open space area is anticipated to include some trails and would then make a logical choice to include and joint into the City park system. The St. Croix Valley Athletic Association has also proposed an athletic complex which would be of regional scale. Existing facilities in the area are not enough to handle the demand they have from their programs . They are proposing to construct a complex that would provide their sports programs with facilities and provide the community with added facilities . The project would consist of football, baseball, soccer fields, hockey rinks, tennis courts , basketball courts , and playground area. Two proposals would like to become a joint venture in that they could share both parking and athletic fields . Park Land Recommendations : Based upon this background study, our office would recommend that two parks be located in the study area. One park is proposed to be an active park, the other a passive park. Neighborhood Park The neighborhood park should be of sufficient size to accommodate the intended uses . Since we don't know the reality of the VAA proposal, this will dictate the size and type of facilities provided by the City at the neighborhood park. With the high school and VAA athletic facilities proposed so close, the neighborhood park should be an active park oriented to younger children. Large areas for play equipment should be provided for. The park should be located so that there is easy 11 • 111 411 access from nearby streets eliminating the need for long travel distances as it would not be desirable to have children travel too far. A park size of 10 to 15 acres should be of sufficient size to provide for its users . The size of the park is directly related to the VAA proposal . If the VAA proposal does come to fruition, then the City should not duplicate many of the facilities and the neighborhood park could be smaller in size. If the VAA proposal does not come to pass , then the City may find the need to provide a larger park which will fill all the athletic needs of the local area. Figure 4 illustrates the approximate location for a park which will serve enough people within a quarter to half mile radius . Linear Natural Park Physical features in the center of the study area provide a perfect environment for a passive natural park and trail system. Wetlands , hilly terrain and trees provide a perfect background. The natural park should take advantage of these natural features and locate within park benches , picnic tables and pedestrian nature trails . A trail system should be incorporated into the plan to provide a link to all parks in the area . The trail system should include pedestrian and bike trails . In conjunction with developing street patterns , pedestrian and bike needs should be fulfilled by use of bike paths along sides of roads and sidewalks for pedestrian travel . Along these guidelines, pedestrian and bike trails should connect the linear park to the neighborhood park and the entire system should connect the school site through the City parks and to Oakgreen Avenue, providing a complete recreational transportation network. To make this successful , all land planning must be coordinated through the subdivision process so the City can dictate park land dedication requirements and provide for a proper system of parks and trails . Figure 4 illustrates the approximate location of the linear park. Acquisition: Site acquisition of sufficient size for both parks will need to be accomplished at the early stages of development of this area. While lands for parks are not acquired immediately, the City must identify search areas so it can dictate the size, location and type of park. In the acquisition of land for the neighborhood park and the linear park, the City must require that these lands are suitable for their intended use. Suitable land would include proper topography, soil conditions and location. 12 s The development of the park system will be funded by money in the City budget. This will be supplemented by cash contributions for park land dedication requirements from new development. Funding for the VAA project is yet to be determined. The VAA is a volunteer donation program. All monies for this project will come from volunteer contributions . Potential income sources consist of : VAA Fund Raising VAA Labor in Building Construction Other Local Athletic Programs The VAA has been notified, however, that an anonymous donor is willing to give $500, 000 towards the project . While the VAA proposal is still uncertain and funding for the project is yet to be determined, the VAA project should be looked at as only a proposal at this time. Should the project come to fruition, the City must investigate what local funding will be requested and what responsibilities will be asked of the City. This must be done so the City can aggressively look at this project to meet some of its City park needs . With the recent passage of the school bond referendum, the high school project development time frame will probably require completion of the school first and grounds and fields to follow. Occupancy of the high school is expected in September of 1993 . This timetable must be looked at in relation to the City's timetable for expected park development. Availability of the athletic facilities to the general public at both sites must also be investigated to determine the neighborhood park needs . Because funding for this project is yet to be determined, the VAA project should be looked at as only a proposal at this time. For the City of Oak Park Heights, development of these two sites would impact greatly the park plan in regards to type and location of facilities . With athletic facilities of a regional scale located here, the City can then direct the use of park land in different directions and focus on different types of uses and locations for these parks . 13 411 411 PARK PLAN STANDARDS AND POLICIES We have drafted a series of park plan policies to help direct the City in the areas of physical parameters regarding community parks , neighborhood parks , trail systems and land acquisition. Community park policies are needed to allow the City standards on which to evaluate the VAA site and make sure it accomplishes what the City policies require . Listed below is the draft Policy Plan. 1 . COMMUNITY PARKS STANDARDS : (a) Community parks shall be of at least 25 acres which provide active recreation. These facilities will require parking and site improvements including utilities . POLICIES : (a) The active recreation facilities provided in a community park may include, but are not limited to, neighborhood recreation centers , ballfields , ice skating rinks , warming houses , hard surface courts , play equipment and swimming pools . (b) The passive recreation facilities provided in a community park may include, but are not limited to, trails , picnic areas , nature/culture interpretive sites , and landscape plantings . (c) Facilities will be sized and developed to accommodate large crowds and peak events . In this regard, parks should be developed to provide adequate parking and rest room facilities . (d) Facility development will be coordinated with the needs of community residents and related services as provided by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, athletic association, civic groups , and organizations . (e) The need to consider the long term costs of maintenance and operation in a facility' s design and development will be recognized.

POLICIES : (a) The active recreation facilities provided in a neighborhood park/playground may include, but are not limited to, open field areas , multiple use hard surface play courts, creative play structures , hockey rinks , free skating rinks , warming houses , landscape plantings, picnic areas, shelters and rest rooms . (b) Neighborhood parks/playgrounds will be geographically centered with safe pedestrian and bicycle access . (c) Park accessibility will be maximized by the park site design and planning to best serve area residents . (d) The need to consider the long term costs of maintenance and operation in a facility's design and development will be recognized. (e) Ensure the provision of an appropriate balance between active, passive and cultural recreational areas and activities, tailored to the needs of the total population throughout the community. 15 s ( f) Park development shall minimize impact upon adjoining development through provisions for, but not limited to: ( 1) Adequate off-street parking. ( 2 ) Appropriate orientation and location of activity areas and buildings . ( 3 ) Screening, buffering, and landscaping. ( 4 ) Adequate setbacks and physical separation. (g) Wherever possible, active use recreation areas should be designed for diverse uses during all seasons . 3 . LINEAR NATURAL PARKS STANDARDS : (a) The park and open space system shall be used to conserve and manage sensitive natural areas within the community. (b) Natural areas shall preserve the integrity of environmental sensitive areas , such as forests , lakes, streams , wetlands , ponds , prairies , etc . Management of natural open space may include substantial restoration of lost or deteriorated natural features , as well as techniques for arresting a retarding environmental degradation through ongoing maintenance. (c) Coordinate natural open space area with City storm water management systems to preserve natural drainageways and wetlands for the purpose of storm water treatment and the preservation of natural environmental areas . POLICIES : (a) Distinctive natural features that give a natural area its distinguishing character will be retained wherever possible, and every reasonable effort will be made to retain cultural resources intact. (b) The majority of the linear park area should be acquired through means other than park dedication, such as tax forfeiture procedures or direct developer dedication. (c) Limited passive recreation can be allowed within a linear park area provided that their use is compatible with the management and intent of the parcel . Such activities may include hiking and biking trails, picnicking and wildlife observation. 16 • (d) Active recreational uses shall be restricted from natural open space areas . 4 . TRAILS STANDARDS : (a) Provide a comprehensive system that addresses trail design and routes that respond to both transportation and recreational demands of the non-motorized modes of transportation. (b) Integrate the local trail system with the trail systems proposed by the State and County in order to maximize the local trail network. POLICIES : (a) Assure adequate public right-of-way is provided and dedicated for sidewalks and trails during the subdivision process . (b) In an effort to minimize trail construction costs, trails are to be constructed in conjunction with State, County and City improvements . (c) Utilize the park dedication fee on newly platted parcels for trail right-of-way acquisition. (d) Develop trails in conjunction with roadway improvements . (e) Encourage the private sector to provide recreational opportunity for specialized trail uses . (f) Provide trail system connections between major community destination areas (i.e. , parks , school, commercial centers, public buildings and residential areas ) . (g) Develop a trail system that minimizes potential conflicts between trail users and motor vehicles and ensures the safety of the trail user. (h) Major routes and paths in community or linear parks should be eight feet wide bituminous with slopes not exceeding 8-10 percent. (i) Design and construct trails according to the standards established by the State Department of Transportation and State Planning Agency. 17 • • ( j ) Encourage private sector to provide bicycle parking facilities . (k) Promote and encourage the utilization of bike and pedestrian corridors as ski touring routes during the snow season and consider other possible uses of bicycle trail corridors when safe and proper. ( 1) Maintain all sidewalks and MPTWs in good repair and ensure that these trail segments are kept open and clear of snow throughout the year for a one mile radius surrounding all schools . (m) Ensure that all pedestrian and bicycle street crossings are clearly marked and lighted. 5 . ACQUISITION STANDARDS : (a) Every reasonable effort shall be made to acquire sufficient land to meet the long range needs of the people of Oak Park Heights . Careful consideration shall be given to the type and extent of park lands and natural open space areas acquired by the City to assure a parks and open space system that will satisfy the needs of present and future residents of the City. • (b) Park land and natural open space shall be acquired through park dedication, purchase, eminent domain, or donation. The acquisition of less-than-fee-simple interests, such as conservancy or leases , shall be undertaken whenever appropriate. (c) The acquisition of public facilities shall take into account and recognize private facilities and services which are offered so as to avoid unnecessary duplication and conserve financial resources . POLICIES : (a) The acquisition of parks and other recreational facilities shall be accomplished at an early date when possible so that appropriate sites can be obtained to meet long range public recreation needs before development pressures render the property too expensive . 18 411 • (b) Joint use agreements between the City of Oak Park Heights and other governmental entities will be purchased and developed when appropriate. (c) Private development of recreational activities shall be encouraged so as to limit the need for public acquisitions . If such facilities are relied upon, however, assurance for public or semi-public access shall be established. (d) Private developers shall be required to dedicate a portion of their land for public use when such a development includes an area planned for park acquisition. Where such a need is not apparent, the developer shall contribute cash to be used for the purchase and/or development of public parks and open space . (e) Land dedications which serve no system purpose shall not be accepted as part of required development contributions . Such lands may, however, be accepted as a donation or gifts . (f) Unsolicited donations and gifts will be accepted as part of the system if they are free of obligations or impacts which limit later use (by a condition of the gift) , do not offend other segments of the community, or which do not come with a hidden or delayed price tag for development, operation, or maintenance which cannot be justified as being in the City' s best interest or within financial resources which are available. (g) Land included in utility easements will be utilized to provide safe and convenient public access routes, where feasible, throughout the City. (h) To the extent possible, grants-in-aid will be sought to help finance the acquisition of park land, natural open space, and recreational facilities . Generally, this report has listed the important issues that have arisen in determining park size and location. Because. these issues affect the City in broader areas other than just park _issues, we are asking for direction from the City before we can fine tune the plan and provide a completed comprehensive document. 19 • • 0 • • _• r 7-:..-..- .-- . - - ____=�_ rr.--I-77.7,.......1,,,,s;;,...,,,-'- �, — ii :I. ; 1 N . -- J •• •• 'I I, I Yy� ■ -1 J `"� (..,..' i cn :1 < "" ! i it C r ` { V ILI u.1 I 2 ; H 1 � . .+ z O -f1 O . -a ! cn .

December 11, 1990 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Oak Park Heights 14168 North 57th Street Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Re: Municipal Services to Annexation Our File No. 5594 Dear Mayor and Council: The State's selection of Trunk Highway 36 as the location for the proposed bridge crossing of the St. Croix River may have a significant consequence upon the route location of the proposed utilities for the Phase I annexation project. The project may have to be redesigned or delayed for a short time. The utility extensions for the Phase I Annexation project were planned to be located within the existing right of way of Trunk Highway 36. This location had the advantage of avoiding the need to acquire easements for the utilities. However the selection of Trunk Highway 36 as the corridor for the St. Croix bridge crossing and the resulting upgrade of Highway 36 to freeway standards may prevent MN/DOT from issuing a permit for the utilities to occupy the right of way. We are not certain at this time of the full impact of this development upon the project. Mn/DOT has not substantially completed it's predesign studies to determine the exact nature of the impact upon Highway 36. Until more is known concerning this corridor study we are not able to proceed with the final design of the project. An alternative to locating the utilities within the highway right of way may have to be explored. We have been in contract with Mn/DOT representatives and will continue to monitor and report further developments to you.

Harlan M.Olson Engineers & Architects November 15, 1990 Ms. Barbara O'Neal City of Oak Park Heights 14168 No. 57th St. Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: I.S.D. 1834 School Site Our File No. 55 Dear Barb, This letter is being written to summarize how the extension of utilities to serve the new Stillwater Senior High School site relates to utilization and cost to the Kreuger property. Our letter report dated July 18, 1990 shows that the expenditures necessary to provide utility service to the school site can be financed by applying the suggested area charges to the school site only. It should be noted that this analysis did not include any cost for acquiring the necessary easements. The procedure outlined would not require other properties including the Kreuger property to be assessed or charged for public utilities at this time. The location of the sanitary sewer lines shown on the drawing contained in the school site study are believed to be the most economical routes available. These lines could be adjusted somewhat and not change the overall concept or cost. If the route would be adjusted to follow the highway and then southerly along land lines, such as along the west line of the Kreuger property, the sewer would have to be installed in much deeper excavations which would in- volve greater cost and would also probably require some longer sewer lines for future service which would also increase costs. When the final route is actually being selected, we would be happy to meet with the property owners and make adjustments in the alignment as may be practical but generally the route should follow low lands and ravines where at all practical in an attempt to minimize costs. You should also be aware that we are in contact with the Minnesota Department of Transportation and will be finalizing the utility routing adjacent to Highway 36 so that it will not be adversely impacted when this roadway is upgraded.

Harlan M.Olson Engineers & Architects July 18, 1990 Ms. LaVonne Wilson City of Oak Park Heights P.O. Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: I.S.D. #834 School Site Our File No. 55 Dear LaVonne, We have prepared cost estimates to provide public utilities for a Senior High School site in Section 6 adjacent to Highway No. 5 on land which is currently in Baytown Township but identified as a potential annexation and service area to the City of Oak Park Heights. The detailed cost estimates are shown on the attached sheets and are based on unit prices anticipated for the 1990 con- struction season and include a twenty (20) percent allowance for engineering, fiscal and administrative fees. Also attached is a map showing the vicinity, the proposed school site and utility routes. A summary of the utility costs to serve the school site is tabulated below: Item Estimated Cost Sanitary Sewer $129,400.00 di 5 Permanent Lift Station 87,800.00 e�.,,,.' Water Main 146,300.00 Storm Sewer 286,500.00 S �� TOTAL EXPENDITURES $650,000.00 //I y.�o,y3 It should be noted that as proposed, it will be necessary to secure easements for the utility installation. An attempt has been made to locate utilit3es along potential street routes, within the existing power line easement or along land lines to minimize easement costs. The cost for acquiring the nec- essary easements are not included in the costs shown herein. According to the information received, the School District is considering acquisition of 127.0 acres of land for the school facility. Approximately 14.5 acres of this property would be utilized for storm water detention which would not be subject to area charges leaving a net area of 112.5 acres. If this area were assigned the area charges derived in our report on extending municipal services to the expanded annexation area dated August 7, 1989, the following revenue would be generated. Page 1. LTR55 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul, Minnesota 55113 • 612-636-4600 • • AREA CHARGES Item Computation Amount Sanitary Sewer 112.5 ac. @ $1,455.00/ac. $163,687.50 Waterworks 112.5 ac. @ $1,930.00/ac. 217,125.00 Storm Sewer 112.5 ac. @ $2,405.00/ac. 270,562.50 TOTAL AREA CHARGES $651,375.00 The storm sewer area charge shown above is based on the same rate proposed for single family or low density residential development. With the large amount of land being utilized for recreational fields and open space, the runoff an- ticipated would be similar to or slightly greater than low density residential development. For the purposes of this report, the area charge rate for low density residential land use has been utilized. The site would also be subject to connection charges to be collected when a building permit is issued. It is suggested that the sanitary sewer connection charge be based on estimated sewage flow instead of the acreage charge for commercial type development. The waterworks connection charge is to finance storage tanks, wells and similar supply facilities. Because a large school building has the potential of creating a high fire demand, it is recommended that the commercial connection charge rate be utilized. The City could make a determination not to collect a waterworks connection charge from the eastern most 27.75 acres which would be used exclusively for open space and athletic field purposes. If the above suggestions are adopted, the connection charges would be computed as follows: Item Computation Amount Sanitary Sewer Conn. Charge 143 equiv. units @ $165.00/unit $ 23,595.00 Waterworks Conn. Charge 84.75 ac. @ $1,740.00/ac. $147,465.00 Metropolitan SAC Charge 143 equiv. units @ $625.00/unit $ 89,375.0063). 9,375.00 3 The equivalent unit determination is based on a secondary school with 2,000 students and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commissions standard which assigns 14 students for each equivalent sewer unit. From the study described herein it appears that if an annexation occurs, the City of Oak Park Heights could extend City utilities to serve the site and finance those improvements from the schedule of area charges and connection charges established for the expanded annexation area. These charges are similar to those adopted by other communities in the metropolitan area and are reasonable and feasible.

The"Annexation Area Extended" has been defined (by your City Engineer) as the area bounded on the east by Oakgreen Avenue; on the north by State Highway 36;on the west by State Highway 5; and,on the south by the southern boundary of Sections 5 and 6. This area extends approximately one mile south from State Highway 36 and includes the area west of Oakgreen Avenue which was recently annexed to the City from Bay Township. OVERVIEW/COST S MMARY The proposed TRUNK improvements for this area include the following: Description Amount 1. Sanitary Sewer- Trunk System $ 1,092,500 2. Water Distribution System: • Water Tower(550,000 Gal) 687,500 • Well 350,000 • Trunk System 776,250 3. Storm Sewer: • Trunk System 1,459,500 • Pond Excavation 120,000 Total Estimated Costs- Construction Costs (1989 Dollars) $ 4,485,750 MEMBERS OF AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS•PRIVATE COMPANIES PRACTICE SECTION MINNESOTA SOCIETY OF CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS MUNICIPAL FINANCE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION•MINNESOTA ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL,BUSINESS OFFICIALS To the Honorable Mayor • Members of the City Cou cil City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 2 It is important to realize that the above costs do not include construction costs related to streets nor to LATERAL improvements (sanitary sewer,watermains,or storm sewers)for specific future subdivisions. The costs shown above relate solely to primary TRUNK distribution/collection systems for sanitary sewers,water and storm sewers plus a water tower and well. More important,these TRUNK FACILITIES have been designed to meet the future needs of undeveloped property and property which may be annexed to the City at some future dates(i.e. property which is not now part of the City). Herein lies the primary problem for the financing of such improvements. The proposed improvements must(by necessity) be designed and constructed before most of this property is annexed to the City. A City cannot assess property outside of its jurisdiction. As such,these costs cannot be assessed(now) against the anticipated benefitting parcels. Additionally,the City may not wish to assess such costs until actual development occurs. Accordingly,the City has an unspecified time delay between incurring such costs and collections which will ultimately finance such costs. The City Council is faced with two separate problems: 1. The method of allocating such costs to the anticipated benefitting properties. 2. The method of financing such costs between actual construction and an unspecified collection date which will be contingent upon both future annexation and future development(after annexation). To the Honorable Mayor• • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 3 PROPOSED COST ALLOCATION PLAN Your City Engineer has developed a plan for allocating such costs to the anticipated benefitting properties. His plan is contained in his report dated August, 1989. The City Engineer's plan allocates such costs($4,485,750)to/against estimated future development parcels,as follows: SANITARY SEWER: 1. An"area"charge of$1,453 per area. This "area" charge is anticipated to be payable when the sanitary sewers are P P Y �'3' "made available" to individual arcels. $819 500 p , 2. An additional "connection" charge which would vary by type of development, as follows: • Low density residential - $164/connection $119,400 • High density residential-$164/connection 115,600 g Y • Commercial-$655 per acre 38,600 273,600 III This "connection charge would be payable as specific development/units are actually connected to the sanitary sewer system. WATER SERVICE: 1. An "area" charge of$1,930 per area to be payable in the same manner as the sanitary sewer "area"charge. 1,088,500 2. An additional"connection" payable e to be a Y able in the same manner as the sanitary sewer"connection"charge: • Low density residential-$435/connection 316,700 • High density residential-$435/connection 306,700 • Commercial-$1,739/acre 102,600 726,000 STORM SEWER: 1. An "area" charge only which would vary by type of development, as follows: • Low density residential- $2,406/acre 1,073,100 • High density residential -$3,937/acre 232,300 • Commercial- $4,648/acre 274,200 1,579,600 Total Anticipated Charges: $4,487200 This "area" charge is anticipated to be assessed when the storm sewer system is "made available" to individual parcels or at such earlier date when the sanitary sewer and/or water "area" charges are assessed. To the Honorable Mayor• • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 4 The cost allocation plan developed by the City Engineer would generate$4,487,200 based upon the above rates and the anticipated acres and connections used. Furthermore,this plan allows the City to assess or charge the major portion of such "costs" when these improvements are made available to each benefitting parcel. The remaining portion if such "costs" would be collected at the time individual parcels actually connect to the sanitary sewer and water systems of the City. It should be noted that the above rates are based upon 1989 construction cost factors and that the City does not expect to incur these costs in 1989. The major portion of this improvement will be on land which is not yet a part of the City. In reality, such facilities cannot be constructed until after such land is actually annexed. The actual construction costs will vary depending upon when such construction actually occurs. Accordingly,the City should consider periodic (annual) increases to the above rates and/or another method of addressing the situation where actual future construction costs will exceed the current 1989 cost estimates. It should be noted that the cost allocation plan of the City Engineer is a plan to allocate construction costs. Normally such charges are in the form of special assessments against the benefiting properties. However, these costs may not be assessable under the normal special assessment process because of the relative timing of such improvements(as compared to unspecified future annexation) and the potential difficulty in proving "benefit" to specific parcels. Accordingly, these costs may have to be charged in the form of"area" charges and "connection" charges. The "area"charge portion would be payable(to the City)at the time such systems are made available or when the underlying property is plotted or sub-divided. The "connection" charge portion would be payable (to the City) at the time such property is actually developed(i.e. building permits are issued)or connected to the utility systems of the City. Such charges will be substantial and difficult to collect(fully) as cash payments. Accordingly, property owners may be given the option of using the "special assessment process" to pay such amounts over time. However,these charges will not be special assessment as that term is normally used. The City will have to adopt an Ordinance(or a series of Ordinances and resolutions) to enforce such charges. This concept has been discussed briefly with the City Attorney and a copy of this Report has been forwarded to his office. To the Honorable Mayor• • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 5 The report of the City Engineer appears to answer the cost allocation question or problem, subject to the following inherent uncertainties: 1. Actual future annexation and the timing thereof 2. Actual future development(assuming annexation occurs) and the timing thereof 3. Actual future construction costs and the timing thereof. The above uncertainties have not and cannot be answered with absolute certainty. Such uncertainties are inherent to the situation. The City Council must decide upon the probability of such uncertainties becoming realities. PROPOSED METHOD OF FINANCING- BONDING The second problem situation to be addressed is the method of financing these costs and the timing difference between expenditure of construction costs and receipt of assessments and/or charges to ultimately finance such expenditures. As stated previously, these costs($4.5 million)cannot be expanded immediately because this entire area has yet to be annexed. Furthermore, it is probably reasonable to anticipate that such costs will be spread over several years and several separate projects as actual annexation (and development)occur. The magnitude of these improvements and the timing differences between construction and collection of assessments and/or charges creates a bonding situation. Additionally,a portion of these TRUNK improvements may be constructed in conjunction with additional LATERAL improvements as development/subdivisions actually occur. Accordingly, the standard special assessment bonding process(with some elaborate internal adjustments)may be the best answer to the timing problem situation. The City has the authority to finance such improvements by bonding under State Statutes, Chapter 429-local improvements/special assessments. This type of bonding authority includes the flexibility of financing such improvements by the combination of special assessments and property taxes(against the entire City). This flexibility is important because using the City's general taxing authority (debt service tax levies) is an answer to the timing question(s)of both future annexation and future development. To the Honorable Mayor• • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 6 The City can issue special assessment bonds and commit specific special assessment rolls (including assessment rolls which are in reality"area"charges and/or "connection" charges)to the retirement of such bonds. If such assessments are insufficient(and they will be for the TRUNK FACILTI'IES described herein),the City may commit debt service tax levies to make up the difference. This difference may be only a timing difference. The City will partially finance these bonds by tax levies unless and until future "assessment/connection charges" are sufficient for debt retirement. The proposed "area" and"connection"charges will be charges against property within the Annexation Area Extended only. Alternatively, tax levies would be charges against the entire City. Initially, this appears to be a mis-match. However, the initial (TRUNK)Facility being constructed will be a second water tower for the City. This second water tower(according to the City Engineer) is needed whether or not the Annexation Area Extended becomes a reality. Accordingly, the cost of this second water tower(and the City-wide tax levies to finance a portion of its costs) will benefit the entire City. Alternatively,the city has a reserved balance in its Water/Sewer Operating Fund which is partially and tentatively committed for the construction of a second water tower. This reserved balance could be committed towards debt retirement(instead of tax levies)if these"assessments" are insufficient and/or delinquent. Conservatively, this reserved balance could be used as an insurance policy against long-delayed annexation/development and/or delinquent special assessments. As another alterative,this usual balance could be used/committed for the construction of a future water well to serve the second water tower. To the Honorable Mayor • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 7 PHASE 1 TRUNK FACILITY IMPROVEMENTS. The first phase of these TRUNK improvements (i.e. water tower)is currently being proposed. This phase would be constructed in conjunction with providing sanitary sewer and water services along the south side of State Highway 36 for the recently annexed Oakgreen Annexation property. This project includes the water tower(TRUNK FACILITY)plus additional(LATERAL)facilities to provide such sanitary sewer and water services. Current cost estimates are as follows: TRUNK FACILITIES: • Water Tower $ 687,500 • Connecting Watermain 37,400 • Sanitary Sewer Lift-Station and Force Main 87,300 Sub-total 812.200 LATERAL FACILITIES: • Sanitary Sewer 91,600 • Watermains 80,000 Sub-total 171,600 Grand Total $ 983,800 Proposed assessments (both,TRUNK and LATERAL) to finance this project are as follows: Assessment TRUNK LATERAL 1. "Area" Charges: • Sanitary Sewer $ 55,610 • Water 73,765 • Storm Sewer 177,723 2. "Connection" Charges: • Sanitary Sewer 4,028 • Water 10,701 3. Lateral Service Assessments: • Sanitary Sewer $ 94,632 • Water 80.775 Totals $ 321,827 $ 175,407 Grand Total $ 497,234 As shown above, the (LATERAL) total cost of improvements($171,600) will be financed by the special assessments to be charged. However, special assessments for the TRUNK improvements indicative of the nature of such' reflect no relationship to the cost of such improvements. This is in di improvements vs. the proposed financing thereof. To the Honorable Mayor 0 • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 8 The TRUNK assessments (i.e. "area"charges and "connection" charges) have been computed based upon the City Engineer's recommended cost allocation plan, as follows: Description Amount 1. "Area" Charges: • Sanitary Sewer(38 Acres @ 1,453) $ 55,610 • Water(38 Acres @ $1,930) 73,765 • Storm Sewer(38 Acres @ $4,648) 177,723 2. "Connection" Charge: • Sanitary Sewer(6 Acres @ $655) 4,028 • Water(6 Acres @ $1,739) 10,701 Total $ 321,827 The above TRUNK charges do not relate solely to these(phase 1)improvements. They relate to the estimated total cost of TRUNK facilities for the entire "Annexation Area Extended". Approximately 6 acres are being fully assessed for these TRUNK charges. An additional 32 acres (HASSE property) are being partially assessed for these TRUNK charges. The portion not being assessed at this time is the "connection" charge portion ($76,800) because this property is not being connected to the City's utility system at this time. These proposed charges illustrate the City Engineer's recommended cost allocation plan as described earlier in this report. The storm sewer TRUNK charges being proposed at this time relate completely to future construction costs. As such,they cannot/should not be used to finance this (phase 1)project. Rather, these charges should be put aside to be used to finance future storm sewer TRUNK facility improvements as described in the City Engineer's August, 1989 report. All of the above TRUNK facility charges relate (in part)to future construction costs (i.e. the estimated$4.5 million cost of TRUNK facilities for the entire"Annexation Area Extended"). The phase 1 improvements are only a portion of the total estimated costs,as follows: Total Estimated Phase 1 Description Costs Costs % • Sanitary Sewer $ 1,092,500 $ 87,300 8% • Water 1,813,750 724,900 40% • Storm Sewer 1,579,500 -0- 0% Totals $ 4,485,780 $ 812,200 18% To the Honorable Mayor • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 9 The above schedule illustrates that these TRUNK facilities will be phased in rather than constructed immediately. Additionally,the timing of future phases will be dependent upon future annexations, which are not controllable by the City. Such future annexations are dependent upon Bay Township; non-City property owners; and, State regulatory agencies. Such future annexation may occur within the next five years or they may never occur. The major TRUNK facility being proposed(at this time)is the Water Tower improvement. According to the City Engineer,this tower is needed(at this time) and will benefit the City even if no additional annexation occurs. This TRUNK facility should be financed by the proposed TRUNK charges from annexation property or by other City financial resources. The ultimate source of financing will depend primarily upon the future level of annexation; the future level of development within annexed acres; and,the timing of such annexation and development. Accordingly, the City requires a financing plan to allow for the variables. INITIAL FINANCING OF TRUNK FACILITY CONSTRUCTION COSTS The entire cost of these TRUNK facilities will be phased in over a number of years and probably constructed in conjunction with additional LATERAL improvements.as the phase 1 improvements clearly illustrate. Special assessment(Chapter 429-Local Improvement) bonding appears to be the most versatile method of financing these construction costs. Such bonding will be used to finance the LATERAL portion of each phase. It can also be used to finance the TRUNK portion of each phase if(at least) 20% of each phase is assessed. To the Honorable Mayors • Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 10 ULTIMATE/FORMAL FINANCING OF BOND ISSUES All bond issues authorized by the City must include a definitive method of repayment. The City must commit specific assets or future revenue to retire each bond issue(i.e. special assessments and/or general tax levies). The phase 1 TRUNK improvements include sanitary sewer and water TRUNK charges which can be specifically committed to a specific bond issue. Such charges will finance$129,375 or 16%of the TRUNK facilities being constructed. The remaining$682,825 or 84% (plus bond interest thereon)requires an initial definitive asset or future revenue. Future scheduled general tax levies can be used for this purpose. Such tax levies can be cancelled annually as other assets/revenue is actually obtained(i.e.future TRUNK facility charges). However,if such charges are not realized, the City will have to levy the annual general tax for the subsequent years debt payment. Such tax levies will be spread across the entire City rather than just the annexation area. General tax levy support for these improvements/bonding is required to provide a definitive source of financing for the bond issue. This is mandatory. Such general tax levies can be cancelled only if the City obtains an alternative source of revenue(i.e. TRUNK facility charges)in such amount and at such time to avoid the general tax levy. These general tax levies define the risk(of future annexation and development) being assumed by the City. At the present time(phase 1 TRUNK improvements) such risk is limited because the City has need for the planned water tower even if no future annexation takes place. USE/FLOW OF TRUNK FACILITY ASSESSMENTS As defined in this report,TRUNK facility charges do not/will not relate to specific construction costs.They relate solely to the costs estimates and cost allocation plan. Such charges should total the estimated$4.5 million cost(plus inflation) when this entire "Annexation Area Extended"is completely annexed and developed. This will occur over an undefined/unspecified time period. Such charges (other than those specifically committed to a specific bond issue) should be set-aside to finance future TRUNK construction costs and/or to cancel scheduled tax levies associated with past bonding for such costs. Accordingly, the City should establish three new separate funds to receipts(and hold)these monies until their ultimate usage is determined. Their monies will be committed to be used, as follows: 1. Cancellation of scheduled tax levies associated with bond proceeds used to finance the construction of TRUNK facilities within the Annexation Area Extended.

RESERVED BALANCE-WATER AND SEWER OPERATING FUNDS The need for a second water tower has been anticipated by the City for a number of years. The cost of this water tower($687,500)is included in the proposed phase 1 TRUNK improvements. An additional$350,000 for a well to serve this tower is anticipated,but not yet planned. The City has a reserved balance in its Water/Sewer Operating Fund of approximately$650,000 at December 31, 1988. This reserved balance is being accumulated partially for the purpose of II financing the second water tower and well and partially for the purpose of maintaining an available balance for major repairs to the water and sewer systems. This balance has accumulated as follows over the past several years: Cash Balance December 31, Amount Increase 1983 $ 222,576 1984 293,457 $ 70,881 1985 378,492 85,035 1986 429,969 51,477 1987 557,162 127,193 1988 661,765 104,603 The above cash balance has been accumulated for a multiple of purposes, including a second water tower. The existing balance is not sufficient to finance the second water tower at time and another means of financing the second water tower is now being proposed. Accordingly, the City Council should re-review its intended purpose for the ultimate use of this balance. Several possibilities are as follows: To the Honorable Mayors I Members of the City Council City of Oak Park Heights December 29, 1989 Page 12 PERMANENT RESERVES: • Operating Reserve • Renewal/Replacement(Equipment)Reserve • Major Repair(System)Reserve PARTIAL FINANCING OF TRUNK FACILITIES: • Second Water Tower • Well for Second Water Tower • Other Trunk Facilities • Cancellation of Future Tax Levies on Bond Issues used to finance(TRUNK) Facilities. The City Council should determine the optimum level of"permanent reserves" which will be used solely for operations; equipment replacement; and/or major system repairs. Any additional amount can be used(consumed)to finance new TRUNK facilities and/or bonding related thereto. The purpose of this report is to develop a plan-of-action for the overall financing of Municipal services to the Annexation Area Extended. The contents hereof include input by the City Engineer, City Attorney, and City Fiscal Consultant. The next step should be a workshop session with the City Council (and all of the above consultants)to discuss this issue and take action (if appropriate) for its implementation.

Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Rat Oakgreen Annexation Area 1st Phase Utilitites Our File No. 5588 Dear Mayor and Councils On August 7, 1989 we submitted a report on the extension of utilities to serve the area which is one mile in width lying south of Highway 36 which is located between Oakgreen Avenue and Highway 5. On August 23, 1989, we prepared a supplemental letter report outlining the improvements , required to serve the existing commercial area which was recently annexed all in accordance with the original utility report. Because some of the facilities required were to be located outside of the Oak Park Heights corporate limits, easement routes would have to be located across raw land and with an estimate expenditure of $1,250,000.00 it was determined to be appropriate to investigate other alter- natives to provide interim service to the annexed property adjacent to Highway 36. Service to the annexed commercial area can be provided by installing sanitary sewer and water main along the Highway 36 frontage road similar to that in- stalled to serve the Anderson-Lindquist property several years ago. Interim service can be provided by installing a sewage pumping station near the northwest corner of the McCormick Furniture Company and pumping the sewage easterly through a force main with discharge to the 12 inch diameter gravity sewer which would be extended 800 feet west of its existing location. This pumping station and force main would be abandoned at some point when further annexation and development would occur. Water service is to be provided by extending an 8 inch diameter water main along the frontage road and terminate near the proposed pumping station. To assure an adequate water supply for fire protection and to provide a second source of supply, it is suggested that the elevated water, tank proposed as a part of the comprehensive plan be constructed at this time with a connecting water main from the tank to the line paralleling Highway 36. The existing overland drainage routes are thought to be adequate at this time so no storm sewer improvements are anticipated as a part of this project. Page 1.

All costs Are based on unit prices anticipated for the 1990 construction season and include a twenty (20) percent allowance for engineering, administrative costs and financing. 4 summary of these costs is shown below: COST SUMMARY Item Estimated Cost Sanitary Sewer $ 94,700.00 Water Main 80,?00.00 Lift Station & Force Main. 87,300.00 550,000 Gal. Water Tower 687,500.00r Connecting Water Main 37 400.00 TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $987,600.00 The sanitary sewer and water main paralleling the Highway 36 frontage road provides lateral benefit to the adjacent property and it is suggested its cost be assessed on A front footage basis. The service line construction cost should be assessed on a unit basis to each parcel served. All other costs are considered to be for trunk type facilities which would be financed through the area charge and connection charge method outlined in the August 7, 1989 Munic- ipal Services Report. The resulting estimated assessment rates and the area and connection charge rates are shown in the following tabulations Item Com u at ion Amount Sanitary Sewer $79,700.00 } 2370 ft. = $33.60/foot Water Main 75,950.00 4 2370 ft. _ $32.50/foot Sewer Services 15,000.00 4 5 lots = $3,000.00/service Water Services 3,750.00 f 5 lots = $750.00/service Trunk Sanitary Sewer Area Charge = $1,455.00/acre Trunk Waterworks Area Charge = $1,930.00/acre Trunk Storm Sewer Area Charge $4,650.00/acre Trunk Sanitary Connection Charge M $655.00/acre Trunk Waterworks Connection Charge = $1,740.00/acre For discussion purposes and for a cost analysis, it was assumed that the property benefiting from the improvements described herein would be a strip of land 700 feet in depth all abutting the Highway 36 frontage road. While no storm sewer is proposed to be constructed as a part of this project except to maintain the existing ditch and culvert system, it is suggested that the storm sewer area charge be applied at this time so that no further charges will have to be made and to improve cash flow conditions. If all of the above assess. Sent or charge rates are applied to the five (5) commercial properties that exist and if the lateral assessments and area charges are applied to 32 acres of the Haase property, the following revenue will be generated: Page 2, LTR5588 VII H K -- 1 7 -- ':+ r1 L7 M 1 Cs '} 7 15 V ri t 1 K Li LA 2£4 H Li L: 1 FR 1 t Y .

Even with collecting all charges including the storm sewer area charge over this limited area only about 50 percent of the cost of the improvements is generated. There is some small amount in the water revenue account to assist with the water tank financing. It may be necessary to adjust the area charge and connection charge rates to assist in carrying the financing coats until such time as other development occurs, It is recommended that the costs contained herein and potential financing alternatives be reviewed by the City's auditing firm and fiscal consultant, Upon resolving potential methods of financing them, a public hearing should be scheduled to discuss these matters with the affected property owners.

Engineers & Architects • June 26, 1989 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Oak Park Heights 14168 57th Street No. P.O. Box 2007 Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Comprehensive Stud y for Annexation Area Extended Our File No. 5588 Dear Mayor and Council: Submitted herewith is our Preliminary Report on Utilities to the Annexation Area Extended in Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. Following final analyses and review by the Mayor and City Council, a Final Report will be prepared and submitted. The "Annexation Area Extended" is defined as the area bounded on the east by Oakgreen Avenue, on the north by State Highway 36, on the west by State High- way 5, and on the south by the southern boundary of Sections 5 and 6. It includes the Oakgreen annexation area. The report covers land use and collector streets, sanitary sewer, water supply and distribution, and storm drainage. Preliminary cost estimates have been prepared and are included in the report. A summary of the analyses and recom- mendations follows: LAND USE AND COLLECTOR STREETS Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. has prepared a conceptual land use plan for the study area. This is shown in Figure 1. The land uses shown in Figure 1 are a continuation of those uses designated in the City' s recent Comprehen- sive Plan Amendment for the Oakgreen annexation area. The proposed land use plan consists of a strip of commercial area along High- way 36, with another strip of high density residential area immediately to the south. This strip of high density residential area acts as a buffer between the commercial area and low density residential area, which comprises the remainder of the study area. Two parks are also included in the low density residential area. The study area consists of a total of approximately 944 acres. A breakdown of the various land use areas is as follows: Page 1. 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul, Minnesota 55113 • 612-636-4600 • • Land Use Acreage Low Density Residential 700 High Density Residential 94 Commercial 94 Park Land 32 Wetlands/Ponds 24 TOTAL 944 Significant areas of wetlands, marginal soils, and steep terrain exist within the study area. Because of this, the actual development in the study area will probably be less than the estimates above, which represent maximum devel- opment potential for the area. However, the estimates provide a conservative yet reasonable basis for the purposes of utility planning. Collector streets are also shown in Figure 1. They have a one-half mile spac- ing and are based on the proposed land use plan. The collector street network is very preliminary and should be adjusted as actual development occurs in the study area. SANITARY SEWER FACILITIES Figure 2 shows the trunk sanitary sewer facilities for the study area. The layout of the sewer is based on the Land Use and Street Map shown in Figure 1. The proposed sewer will tie in to the existing North Interceptor at Highway 36 and Oakgreen Avenue. Because of the topography of the study area, two lift stations were determined to be required to convey the sewer flows to the North Interceptor. The first, Lift Station #1, is located at the western edge of the Oakgreen annexation area, and serves the western and southwestern portion of the study area. Lift Station 11 discharges into 500 feet of forcemain. The second lift station, Lift Station #2, is located in the southeastern corner of the study area and serves the southeastern portion of the study area. It discharges into 3500 feet of forcemain. 128 acres in the southwestern corner of the study area will not be served under the proposed sanitary sewer system. This is a low area which will not drain by gravity to the system. An alternative which is not proposed or investigated further here is to provide a third lift station in this area, to allow it to be served by the proposed sewer system. Sewer flows were determined based on the land use areas and estimates of unit flow rates from each land use type. The computation of the average sewer flow from the study area is presented in Table 1. As can be seen in Table 1, the average sewer flow from the study area is 0.374 million gallons per day (MGD) . Based on the December 1980 Comprehensive Sewer Policy Plan, the North Interceptor has an excess capacity of 0.480 MGD avail- able to serve the study area. This is 0.106 MGD more than is required. Note Page 2. • • that if the 128 acres not served (see above) were added to the system, the average sewer flow from the study area would increase to 0.403 MGD, which is still less than the available 0.480 MOD capacity. In order to determine the required sewer pipe sizes, sewer flows at various locations along the sewer were estimated. For this purpose, the sewer was divided into 14 reaches between Point 1 and Point 13 (see Figure 2) . The study area was then divided into 11 subareas (A through K) draining to the reaches. Land use areas and unit flow rates were used to compute average sewer flows in each subarea. These are shown in Table 2. Average flows in each reach of the sewer are shown in Table 3. Peak flow factors were used to convert average flows to maximum flows, upon which the pipe sizes were based. The peak flow factors and maximum flows are shown in Table 3. The Manning equation assuming full pipe flow was used to size the sewer pipes. The maximum flows shown in Table 3 were used, along with Manning's n s 0.013 and pipe slopes based on the existing topography in the area. The resulting design pipe sizes are shown in Figure 2. The sewer consists of 12-inch pipes from Lift Station #1 to the tie-in point at Highway 36 and Oakgreen Avenue, with 8-inch pipes everywhere else. Lift Station #1 will have a design capacity of approximately 1.0 MGD, and Lift Station #2 will have a design capacity of approximately 0.2 MGD. WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES Figure 3 shows the proposed water distribution system for the study area. It consists of a loop with one cross-connection. The system will tie in to the City's existing water system at two locations, both on Oakgreen Avenue, as shown in Figure 3. Average water demand for the study area was estimated based on the land use areas and unit demand rates. The computation of the average water demand is presented in Table 4. The average demand for the study area was estimated to be approximately 0.5 MGD, or 332 gallons per minute (gpm) . Note that the entire study area can be served by the water distribution system. The maximum daily demand is normally used to design the water system facili- ties. The maximum daily demand is typically two to four times the average demand, depending on the mix of land uses and the age of the area. For the study area, the maximum daily demand was estimated to be 1.3 MGD, or 916 gpm. The existing maximum daily demand in the City is 1.0 MGD, or 700 gpm. The City is supplied by two 850 gpm wells, which translates into 850 gpm of depend- able capacity, with one backup well. In order to meet the supply needs of the study area under ultimate development conditions, it is estimated that one well of 850-900 gpm capacity will be required. Page 3. • It must be noted that the water system recommendations presented in this report are based on the needs of the study area alone. They do not account for any future growth in the rest of the City. In order to have a water system plan which meets the supply, storage, and distribution needs of the City as a whole, it is recommended that a Comprehensive Water Supply and Distribution Plan for the entire City be prepared. Storage requirements for the study area are based on the available supply, the maximum daily demand, which represents normal water usage in the area, and fire flow requirements, which represent high short-term water demands above and beyond the normal water usage. For the City, a fire flow require- ment of 2000 gpm for a period of two hours was incorporated into the estimate of the storage requirements. The estimated total storage required for the City, based on existing maximum daily demands in the City, ultimate maximum daily demands in the study area, and a fire flow of 2000 gpm for two hours, is 625,000 gallons. The City has an existing 250,000 gallon water tower; therefore, it is estimated that an additional 400,000 gallon water tower will be adequate to meet the long-term needs of the study area. The distribution system was designed in a similar manner to the sanitary sewer system. Water demands were assumed to occur at discrete demand nodes on the system, as shown in Figure 3. The study area was then divided into demand subareas, each requiring a certain water demand from their correspond- ing demand node. Land use areas and unit demand rates were used to compute the demands in each demand area. The results are summarized in Table 5. A computer model of the distribution system was developed. Given pipe lengths, sizes, and roughnesses, as well as node demands and elevations, the model computed flows and water pressures throughout the system. It was found that a system of 12-inch water mains will provide flows under acceptable pressures to the study area. STORM SEWER FACILITIES Figure 4 shows the layout of the trunk storm sewer system in the study area. The system consists of storm sewer pipes to carry stormwater runoff to ponds which will be used for retention storage. The water in the ponds will either evaporate or infiltrate into the ground. Detention ponds are more commonly used than, and are generally preferable to, retention ponds. With detention ponds, the stormwater runoff is collected in ponds, where it is temporarily detained before proceeding through surface outlets. The runoff gets routed through the storm sewer system and eventual- ly is discharged into a lake, river, or other large body of water. Page 4. • • Retention ponds, which rely upon infiltration and evaporation to handle the runoff, are generally less reliable and predictable than detention ponds. Soil types, soil moisture conditions, and weather patterns all affect the performance of the retention ponds. Retention ponds are bein g proposed for the study area because of inadequate topography to drain the stormwater runoff. The soils in the study area are Y similar to those in the City, where retention ponds are currently being used. It is estimated that these well-drained soils will be adequate to drain the retention ponds in an acceptable period of time. An alternative to the use of retention ponds is a system of detention ponds with lift stations to convey the flow out of the study area. This alternative is being investigated in more detail and its feasibility and cost-effective- ness will be discussed in the Final Report. The storm sewer system was analyzed using a computer model. The drainage area was divided into five subareas, each contributing a portion of stormwater runoff to the storm sewer system. The amount of stormwater runoff from each area is dependent upon the acreage, the types of development, the topography of the area, and the precipitation amount. The type of development affects the infiltration rate of the rainfall. For the study area, the commercial land use area has the highest runoff rates, because it has the highest percentage of rooftops and impervious paved areas. The parks and low density residential areas have the lowest runoff rates, because they have the largest percentage of trees and grassy pervious areas. The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (CN) is used to quantify the runoff potential of any area. Higher CN's imply greater runoff. Typical CN values may be 85 to 95 for commercial areas and 45 to 90 for residential areas. The topography affects the rate at which the runoff travels. Steeper slopes result in higher peak rates of runoff which occur fairly quickly after the peak rainfall. Gentler slopes produce lower peaks which occur at a later time. In the study area, there are a number of depressions which will tempor- arily capture runoff, leading to the later, smaller peaks. The time of con- centration is used to quantify the topography of an area. It repesents the travel time for stormwater runoff to travel from the farthest point in the subarea to the outlet. The steeper the terrain, the lower the time of concentration. The runoff rate is directly dependent upon the rainfall intensity and volume. For design purposes, both the 24-hour, 5-year storm (3.55 inches) and the 24- hour, 100-year storm (5.90 inches) were used. The SCS Type 2 distribution was used. A summary of the subareas, curve numbers, times of concentration, precipita- tion amounts, and peak rates of runoff is presented in Table 6. Page 5. • • • S The high water level in the retention ponds was estimated using the computer model. The high water level depends upon the volume of inflow runoff as well as the size and shape of the pond. To be conservative, it was assumed that negligible evaporation and infiltration from the ponds would occur during the storm. The high water levels were based upon the 100-year storm runoff. The resulting high water levels and pond volumes are summarized in Table 7. The storm sewer pipes were designed to carry the 5-year storm runoff with no surcharging of the pipes. Excess runoff above the 5-year storm would be carried through surcharging of the pipes or as overland flow. Manning's equation for full pipes was used to size the pipes. The slopes were based upon existing topography in the area. A Manning's n = 0.013 was used for the analysis. The resulting pipe sizes are shown in Figure 4. COST ESTIMATES Costs for the proposed utility improvements have been prepared and are pre- sented in Table 8. The costs are preliminary and are based on the proposed layouts presented in this report; they should be adjusted to reflect actual alignments during the final design stage. The costs are based on 1989 construction costs and can be related to an ENR Index of Construction Costs of approximately 4,500. Future changes in the index are expected to reflect fairly accurately cost changes in the proposed facilities. The costs include a 25% allowance for contingencies, design, administration, inspection, and capitalized interest during construction. As was mentioned earlier, a Final Report will be prepared and submitted fol- lowing final analyses and review by the City. We would be pleased to discuss the contents of this Preliminary Report with the City at any mutually conve- nient time. Respectfully submitted, BONESTR00, ROSENE, ANDERLIK & ASSOCIATES, INC. (1) ..

Box 2007 ��t Stillwater, MN 55082 Re: Annexed Area Mapping Our File No. 55 Dear LaVonne, Enclosed please find Invoice No. 9-8221 in the amount of $7,225.00 from Horizons, Inc. for two foot contour mapping for the area between Oakgreen Avenue and Highway 5 from Highway 36 to one mile south. This work has been completed and mylar maps delivered to our office. Therefore, it is recom- mended that the invoice be paid as submitted. The mapping obtained covers approximately 1,020 acres which results in a cost of $7.08 per acre. It is suggested that the City establish a procedure for selling this mapping to developers to recover some of the City' s cost. Map- ping of smaller areas is typically more costly per acre, so I would suggest sale at $7.00 per acre which is a good price for the buyer and it still en- ables the City to recover much of its cost. Requests to purchase should be made by legal discription to the City. Upon notification, we will have a mylar reproducible of the area prepared and forwarded to the City. Upon payment, the mylar can be released to the pur- chaser. If you have any questions on this matter, please do not hesitate to call.

Accordingly we are pleased to furnish our proposal for aerial survey services for the City of Oak Park Heights, Minnesota. Details of our proposal are described below: AREA The area covered by this proposal is shown in red on the attached map. AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY We will utilize aerial photography obtained on March 7, 1987. Map content will be as of that date. This photography was obtained with a precision mapping camera equipped with Image Motion Compensation suitable for preparing the topographic mapping described below. GROUND CONTROL We will furnish all the ground control necessary for controlling the topographic mapping. Vertical datum will be based on National Geodetic Datum (Mean Sea Level). Horizontal control will be based on Minnesota State Plane coordinates. TOPOGRAPHIC MAPPING We will furnish the mapping at a scale of 1"=100' showing contours at two foot intervals. In addition to contours, the maps will include spot elevations, roads, building, railroads, (Please reply to the Minnetonka office) • w' • Mr. Joseph Anderlik September 20, 1988 Page 2 bridges, major fences, drainage, shore lines, swamps and tree outlines to the extent these features are visible on the photography. If areas are obscured, the contours will be dashed to indicate they are approximate. Delivery will consist of reproducible positives made directly from drafted sheets prepared by scribing technique. The sheets will be laid out in one quarter section format. MAPPING ACCURACY Except where the ground may be obscured, map accuracy will comply with National Map Accuracy Standards. Briefly, these state that 90% of all well defined features shall be correct within 1/30 inch, and 90% of all elevations correct within 1/2 contour interval. If areas are obscured, contours will be dashed to indicate they are approxi- mate. The accuracy standards should be applied only to the basic scale and contour interval, 1"=100' and 2' C.I., for which the maps were designed. PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE The topographic mapping will be delivered within 30-40 days after notice to proceed is given. PAYMENT Our charge for the services described above will be $7,225.00 Lump Sum. Payment of our invoice will be due within 30 days after delivery and invoicing. We appreciate the opportunity of furnishing this proposal and look forward to being of service. An authorized signature on the enclosed acceptance copy of this proposal will serve as our contract. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. x.,24, Respectfully submitted, ORIZO , IN/. • t Dary D.

As you can imagine it is nearly impossible ble to determine the size or need without having any feeling for the location or amount of property annexation in the future. Much of the land which could be annexed and served with gravity sanitary sewer is lower than the land which now supports the existing tank. Therefore, another water tower would probably be constructed at about the same elevation. The size of a new tank is almost totally dependent on the future limits of the City boundaries. From a cost standpoint and because of the unknown factors which could influence growth, the minimum sized tank would probably be 250,000 gallon which is the same size as the existing tank. A smaller tank costs more per 1000 gallons of water stored and is therefore less economical unless it is definitely know that lesser storage is required. If a 250,000 gallon elevated tank were constructed it is estimated that the cost would be $250,000.00 which would include engineering and contract administration. The cost for connecting watermain can usually be assessed against abutting property if one assumes that it would be place on a future street alignment. If the tank were located close to existing facilities the connecting costs would be insignificant in comparison to tank costs. Site acquisition is also a cost which must be considered and will be dependent upon the location of the site and the location and extent of future annexations.

If someone could block out an area of land which may be the future City of Oak Park Heights and suggest potential land uses, a more finite proposal could be made as it relates to expansion of City systems.
