Wall Request
Job #5248
Dear Mr. Kopp,
Mrs. Schwartz at 5955 Hillcrest Road has requested a re-
taining wall in front of the occupied portion of her property
(not in front of the vacant lot).
This street has a 40 foot right of way with 6 feet of
right of way behind the curb. There is about a 2 to 2-1/2
foot bank at present behind the curb. There are no trees
within 20 feet of the curb.
We do not recommend a wall at this location. This property
can be slope~ and sodded so that there will be no problem
mowing the lawn. We will have pictures of the site at Tuesdays
Council Meeting.
We estimate the cost of the wall requested by Mrs. Schwartz
at $560.00.
Very truly yours,

Easement
3ob #5248
Dear Mr. Kopp:
We have met several times with Mr. and Mrs. Miller who own Lots 1 to 8 and
Lots 17 to 23, Block 20, Whipple located on the end of Waterbury, East of
Tuxedo. These lots are two potential buildlng sltes with one existing house.
An easement from the Miller's is required to construct the 28 foot wide
street requested by the majority of the people on this block and ordered by the
City Council.
The Miller's will grant the temporary easement to the City if the following
things are done on their property.
1) Construct a wall to extend the off street parking area and a side wall
to hold up the side of the off street parking area.
Estimated Cost - $3,600.
2) Transplant some smaller trees from the area east of the house which has
to be filled to accomodate the wiOening of the street and plant nursery shrubs
on this slope.
Estimated Cost - $500.
Minneapolis - Hutchinson - Alexandria - Granite Falls
Mr. Kopp
November 25, 1980
Page Two
It is our recommendation, based on what the City has done in the past in
similar situations that this offer not be accepted. There have been many cases
where an off street parklng area has been eliminated by wldening streets in the
past, when the property owners have received no compensation for granting the
Clty an easement.
The area where the trees are to be transplanted and the nursery shrubs
planted is in an area where many of these would have to be removed if a 2nd
house were ever bullt on the site.
We feel the requests made are excessive in comparison with the potential
damage or loss of value to the property from the proposed street construction.
Yours very truly,

Pecan Lane
Job #5248
Dear Mr. Kopp:
The Council has ordered a Preliminary Engineering Report on Improvements on
Pecan Lane from Rosedate Road to the railroad right-of-way.
The owner of the property at the corner of Edgewater, Pecan and Rosedale has
requested some improvements on Pecan to provide off street parking for his
second car.
Pecan Lane nas a 20 foot right-of-way and presently nas a driveway on the
right-of-way serving one house. Two properties front on the street, the second
property has a driveway off Rosedale and has indicated that ne might De
interested in some day looping the driveway through to Pecan.
The City nas been plowing this street to the eno. There are alternative
methods of providing an additional parking space on Pecan.
1) Do nothing, but grant a variance for parking oq the end of Pecan Lane
past the existing driveway. This will inconvenience the City in snow plowing
operations, however, the puOlic works director nas indicated he could live with
t~is.
Cost: - Nothing.

Mr. Leonard Kopp
NovemOer 25, 1980

2) Construct a 16 foot wide blacktop drive on the right-of-way without curb
and gutter and extend the drive far enough to allow the property owner on the
east to loop his driveway in the future and still provide a parking space beyond
his drive. The inconvenience in snow plowing would still be problem and a
variance for on-street parking would still be required.
Estimated Cost - $1,900.
3) Construct an 18 foot wide street'witn concrete curb and gutter.
involves construction of retaining walls, removal of trees, and getting
easements for the construction. This would ease the snowplowing problem
somewhat.
This
Estimated Cost - $4,200.
Anotner possibility that has been suggested is to construct the street as in
Alternative 1, 2, or 3 and to designate the end of the street as a parking area
and by a lease or permit arrangement assign one or two spaces to residents iq
the area. We feel that this would set a precedent that could cause problems for
the City in the future. There are many dead end streets in the City where the
ends of the street could Oe used for parking in the same manner, and if many of
these were designated as parking areas the snow plowing problems could be
significant.
It is our recommendation that Alternative i or 2 be adopted. We do not
think it is realistic to provide concrete curb and gutter on a dead end street
serving only one property.
If you have any questions on this, we will be pleased to discuss this with
you at your convenience.
Yours very truly,

A fee of $50.00 should be retained for work already done in connec-

of the land. Does the Council wish to refund the $110. Park Dedi-

Refund would be $901.75. or $1,Oll.75 if Park Dedication fee in-

Attached is a copy of the Park Commission minutes. The Park Commission has
reviewed the dock location map and have made the following recommendations
which must be acted on by January 15th:
1. 1551 Bluebird - Recommended the Classification remain "Class A" and the
applicant apply for a special permit.
2. Dock Site 23325 - Arbor Lane The Park Commission recommended the area be
reduced to one dock site and allow the permit to remain with Swanson.

Block 8 in Jenning's Bay; now classified as "Class A" - Wild Life Area.
The Park Commission recommended that, "Deny any land change classification

not practical".
Dock Site 13660-13690 Spacing Docks to allow for swimming.

mit Numbers 13660 - 13690 for 1981 season".

MINUTES OF MOUND ADVISORY
PARK COMMISSION MEETING
November 13, 1980
Present: Hal Larson, Jon Lynott, Toni Case, Cathy Bailey, Staff represented by
Chris Bollis and Donald Rother, citizens present Kermit Sherman, Wallace Smith
and Douglas Smith and secretary D. De Laney.
Meeting was called to order by Chairman Larson. Minutes of October 9th meeting
were presented for approval. Motion by Larson seconded by Bailey to accept the
minutes as presented. Unanimously approved.
Dock Location items and citizen requests were allowed to preceed order of scheduled
business.
(1) George Gerberding of 1551 Bluebird Lane, Lots part of 3-4-5 & 32, Block
6, Woodland Point, had requested a classification change in dock location map
from present "A" classification, this is located between Wawonassa and Waurika
Commons.
Bailey's memory dredged up action taken in 1975-76 meeting whereby it would
take a Special Permit for a dock in this area. Considerable discussion between
members and dock inspector on procedure and circumstances surround this.
MOTION by Bailey seconded by Case, "Shoreline classified as Class "A" at this point and
a Special Permit for dock in this area would have to be applied for by resident or home-
owner living there." Unanimously approved.
(2) Douglas Swanson of 2142 Sandy Lane, dock site 23325 on Arbor Lane.
Rother explained that Doug previously had dock at wrong angle, he has attempted
to correct dock angle but unable to comply with LMCD's rule due to limited foot-
age for docking. Previously this area had been reduced from 3'dock'sI:tes to
2 dock sites but even that will not accommodate two boats.
MOTION by Bailey seconded by Case, "Eliminate one dock site, allowing site 23335 to
remain with Swanson having priority on dock permit application." Unanimously approved.
(3) Paul Hanssen of 5149 Woodland Point, Lots 22-23 & 24, Block 8, Woodland
Point. Repeated appearances before Commission with request to install dock
out into lagoon at end of Block 8 in Jennings Bay.
Considerable discussion by Commissi.on, this area classified Class "AU and a
wildlife area with length of dock being prohibitive to reach water. Most of
area is marsh land with very low water level during normal years.
MOTION by Larson seconded by Bailey, "Deny any land change classification from a wild
life area, dock would have to extend across too much marsh land, not practical."
Unanimously approved.
(4) Anticipating annual request by Merlin, dock site 13660 and Woytcke, dock
site 13690, for approval of dock spacing to allow space for swiming that must
be renewed annually.
MOTION by Larson seconded by Lynott, "Grant approval of dock spacing for holders of
dock site permit No. 13660 and 13690 for the 1981 season." Unanimously approved.
(5) k~Sherman~ of 5065 Wren Road, Lot 10 Block 1, Linden Heights and
Walter Smith o---f~5053 Wren Road, Lot 8, Block 1, Linden Heights came before
MINUTES OP MOUND ADVlly PARK COMMISSION MEETING - N~ 13, 1980 page two
the Commission with a request to have the City owned property, Lot 9, Block
1, Linden Heights, that has a drainage ditch runnin9 through it~ to be fixed
up. Picture o~ aerial view showed lots and how drainage was eroding shoreline.
They explained how they are having their lots riprapped, with Lots 7 and 8
already having approval Df Watershed District and Lot 10 in process of obtain-
ing approval. With new ruling having drainage set far back into lots to elim-
inate polution from runoff, it makes for an unattractive approach to lake.
Chris told how he had made an unofficial inspection of this area after the
1979 street project had been completed and the drainage ditch repaired. Chris
was dissatisfied with the work after the sodding had been done but the contractor
had been fired frOm the job and we are looking for recourse to have some of
this work redone correctly.
MOTION by Larson seconded by Bailey, "Park Director follow through on repair of drain-
age ditch so that erosion of shoreline on City owned Lot 9, off Wren Road, is done
correctly." Unanimously approved.
(6) Litigation on the status of A1 & Alma's dock was questioned. Rother stated
that the dock is now out of the water, Mr. Nolan has promised to come up with
a plan next Spring that will meet requirements of City, si it is now dormant
until he applies for license next year.
(7) Larson expressed hope there would be some tangible expression from attorney
on progress of ordinance regarding NO BOUYS/MOORING$ for sailboats on Commons
before Spring, when permits will be coming in for this type of permit.
City Manager's Report - None, Kopp at retirement banquent for Mound Policemen.
Council Rep. Report - None, Lovaasen absent
Planning Comm. Report - None, Jackson absent
Park Director's Report - Chris informed the Commission that the playground equipment
had been installed at Island Park Park and Three Points Park. The tennis court at
Island Park is complete except for the striping. Council has approved the blacktopping
of the parking lot by the tennis court for Island Park. Highland Park has been filled
after the drainage had been put in. Have laid out skating rinks with grade for flood-
ing. Brookton Park has been filled and leveled and will be seeded this year, equip-
ment will be reinstalled next year. There is the possibility that this park may be
used for skating this year. Sign has been installed at Mound Bay Park, and they have
moved it towards the depot building. Tyrone Park, where they have the warming house,
and lighted area for activities, had the light switch control box vandalized. The
lights can be turned on manually now by the youngsters but they seem to utilize the
the area and turn off the lights most of the time after playing. Have ~equested the
police to turn off lights if no one is using the field late at night and they are burn-
ing, in the course of their patrolling. Official skating rinks for the 1980-81 season
will be Island Park Park, Three Points Park, Tyrone Park, with supervised warming
house, if budget permits this funding, and Highland and Brookton if possible. 'There
will be no berms surrounding the rinks and they will cover a much larger area for
skating. Handicapped access has been built at both the Depot building and Island Park
Hall, these are wheel chair ramps.
Chris announced he will be attending the Minnesota Recreation & Park Association ,
"Designing for the 80's" meeting November 19, 20 and 21st at the Thunderbird Motel
in Bloomington.
Recreation Committee Report - Bailey stated that members of the Softball Committee
are to meet with the Park Commission. Cathy will write a letter to Ulrick informing
MINUTES OF MOUND ADVI~ ~Y PARK COMMISSION MEETING - 13, 1980 page three
him of this so that they will be at the January Discussion Meeting at 7:30 p.m.,
this will be the only meeting scheduled.
Long Range Planning - Larson is still waiting for a report from the City Planner
before anything can be done on this.
Trails Committee Report - Lynott had nothing to report.
Bailey expressed disappointment and concern that Minnetrista had returned unused
funds and these could have been used for expansion of the trails in previous years
and they had maintained there was no money available.
Motion by Larson seconded by Lynott to adjourn until the next scheduled meeting of
December 11th.
djd
Note:
No Discussion meetings in November or December, both falling on holidays.
To clarify Park Director"s Report of 10-9-80, a request had been received
to improve the shoreline area of Carlson Park, Chris stated there was a
possibility this area could be leveled but it is used for a docking area
only, it is not recommended to improve this area beyond grading and/or
leveling of land.

Vacation of Unnamed Street between Blocks 2 & 3, Avalon
The Council has suggested that the unnamed street between Blocks 2
and 3, Avalon, be studied to determine whether or not it should be
vacated.
The utilities companies, etc. have responded as follows:
Minnegasco - "No facilities within the above described area and Minne-
gasco has no objection".
N.S.P. - "We see no need for that unnamed street"
Continental Telephone - "We have no facilities on this right-of-way
and do not see any future needs".
Fire Department - "No need"
Public Works -
"Feel that vacation of unnamed street between blocks
2 & 3, Avalon, would be unnecessary. We need the com-
plete 15 feet for storm sewer easement that is already
installed"
Engineer - "A storm sewer was constructed on the unnamed street between
Blocks 2 and 3, Avalon as part of the 1978 Street Improvements.
The only other potential use for the street would be as a
walking path to the lake. If the street is to be vacated, a
permanent easement for storm sewer purposes should be main-
tained on the entire right-of-way."

The Honorable Tim Lovaasen
Mayor of F bund

Mound, ~X~ 55364
Dear Sir:
The Metropolitan Waste Control Ccma~ission is desirous of in~.roving
and expanding its ~cations with the over 100 local units of
government it serves in the seven county metropolitan area.
When the Metropolitan Sewer Act was enacted by the legislature over
a decade ago, it provided for the establishment of Sewer Service
Area Advisory Boards (SSAAB) for the purposes of reviewing, ccm~P_n ~ting
and advising the C~ssion on its ~arious activities.
The Cc~mission would like to re-activate these service area advisory
boards, therefore we would like to suggest that you and your council
appoint a me~f~_r of the council or an employee to serve on this
Advisory Board. The reSpOnsibilities of the Advisory Board w~uld
be to review and ccmment on such matters as the cost allocation
system, operating budgets, capital improvement programs, air/water
?~ality standards, future wastewater st:-ma~rds ~ related operating
and capital costs, and other such matters that would re~re review
and ccx~_nt. In addition, many of the problems and misunderstandings
that occur frc~n time to t/me may be better handled in this process.
We would appreciate it very much if your appointment can be made by
January 10, 1981. If you have any questions, please call
Mr. Anthony C. Gnerre at 222-8423.
This suggested procedures is not intended to be a formal organization
with decision making or policy powers, for that would be contrary
to the laws of the State which impose upon the Ccmmission th~qe
responsibilities. Ra~-her, tills is an effort to gain the advice and
knowledge of the o~ttttGnities and to share with the communities facts
and expertise available to the Cc~ssion in as expeditious a w~y
as possible.
Your cooperation on this rotter will be greatly appreciated and should
provide a greater opportunity to serve t.he people of this region in
a more productive and efficient manner. Attached is a schedule
identifying c<~,~nities within each service area. Because of the
variations in size, each SSAAB my well set up different procedures
and ~mccting schedules; we would hope that there would at least be
s~ui-annual meetings by each.
Very truly yours,
SA:Dd cc. Commissioner representing service area

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 80-390
SUBJECT: Police - Severance Pay
Under the Union Contract, patrolmen who leave after 36 months service
get severance pay of 1/3 their unused sick leave.
The two patrolmen being cut because of budget consideration have not
been with the City 36 months, but have asked if the City will pay the
severance pay.
One patrolman has accumulated 152 hours sick leave which means he
would get 48 hours pay; the other has 67 hours which means he would
get 22.3 hours pay.
It is recommended the Council pass a resolution authorizing Patrolmen
Smith and Polley be paid severance pay even though they have not been
with the City 36 months.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM NO. 80-387
SUBJECT: 1981 Budget
Based on Council Memorandum No. 80-382, the Council authorized a
budget of 10 1/3 Policemen and to use all Revenue Sharing Funds.
In double checking, we found that I used the wrong column of figures
on expenditures. I used $1,778,666; whereas after cutting the previ-
ous, we should have used $1,721,425 for 10 policemen and $1,746,441
for 11 policemen.
The budget would look like this:
Income
Less State's cut
in funds
Expenditures
Difference
$1,748,351.
(-24,267.)
$1,724,084.
1,746,441. (ll Policemen)
$ (22,357.)
If the $22,357 is taken from Revenue Sharing's $43,000, we would have
$20,643 left in Revenue Sharing for Spring and Fall Pickup and other
things. In 1980, we used $5,000 of this for summer recreation.

reimbursed for part of the cost of the concrete used in curb and gutter and
storm sewer construction in the years 1968 through 1976. A quick reading of the
notice seems to indicate that no action is required of Mound at this time, but
Curt should verify this.

Like everything else, progress brings change,. Last year, for ~
the Federal Insurance Administration's National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) grew to 1.8 million policy holders with a total coverage of more
than $80 billion in force.
Last year, too, on April l, 1979, another important change took place.
The Federal Insurance Administration (formerly a part of Housing and
Urban Development) merged with four other federal agencies, and half a
dozen program areas already in operation at the federal level, to create
a single voice in the Federal Government for disaster and emergency-related
programs. This merger established the Federal Emergency Management Agency
which focuses on problems resulting from natural, man-made or any possible
wartime disasters.
This means that the information in your files on the National Flood Insurance
Program is now outdated. We are providing you with the attached on the NFIP
to keep you current on the program. Please purge your files of any materials
which you have on hand pre-dating this Backgrounder.
If you have any need for stories, background information or interviews on
the National Flood Insurance Program, the Office of Public Affairs will be
happy to cooperate. Call our office: 202/634-1600.

BACKGROUNDER
1725 I Street, N.W. / Washington, D.C. 20472
EDITOR'S NOTE: BACKGROUNDER ON NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
The risks involved in selling flood insurance to residents
and business-owners in flood-prone communities is so great,
without the ability to require the communities to adopt and
enforce strong flood plain management measures, that long ago
commercial insurance companies determined it would be
financially disastrous for them to write flood insurance
policies.
As a result, year-after-year family-after-family found
itself flooded out of its home, and the flood loss bill
nationwide totaled in the billions of dollars.
True, there was some help for flood victims. State and
local assistance came to their aid. And, if the President
declared a flood a major disaster, federal assistance became
available. But, for many, this often meant carrying two
mortgages and emptying their life savings. Often, the financial
burden was too great for families to sustain.
Yet, people continued building or rebuilding in flood-prone
areas. Houses and businesses multiplied in these areas, ever
increasing the threat of what a flood could do when it did
arrive.
The need for flood insurance has always been there. But the
implementation of a program that could deliver this insurance to
families and businesses at affordable rates was not to happen
until 1968.
Today that program, the National Flood Insurance Program,
protects the homes or businesses of over 1.8 million policy
holders, with a total coverage of over $80 billion. According
to the Federal Insurance Administration, which administers the
National Flood Insurance Program, the citizens of almost 17,000
communities across the country are eligible to buy flood
insurance because their communities joined this Program by
instituting flood plain management and hazard mitigation efforts.
-2-
The Federal Insurance Administration is a part of a new
agency, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, created April 1,
1979, to give state and local organizations a single point of
contact within the Federal structure when they needed help with
any emergency-related situation, from natural disasters to
man-made disasters, and including any possible wartime attack.
FIA was transferred from the Department of Housing and Urban
Development to the new agency, together with four other federal
disaster assistance agencies and a half dozen program areas, to
help accomplish FEMA's mission: develop programs and guidance
that would help plan and prepare for, mitigate, respond to and
recover from any possible emergency that might strike in any part
of the United States.
It was logical for the Federal Insurance Administration to
leave the Department of Housing and Urban Development and become a
part of FEMA, because of the strong emphasis this office puts on
lessening the consequences of floods. FIA requires each community
that joins the National Flood Insurance Program to institute, and
enforce, strong flood plain management measures. In addition, FIA
is concentrating many of its efforts on flood hazard mitigation.
The Federal Insurance Administration, itself, is a young
office, not quite 12 years old.
HISTORY
Interest in flood plain management has always been fickle:
high when a flood has vented its damaging waters on a community;
low when recovery efforts have been accomplished.
The interest in a federally-subsidized flood insurance program
for the United States, in fact, dates back to the Truman
Administration. The late President's home state of Missouri
suffers millions of dollars in flood-related damage each year, yet
during his Administration a flood insurance program was not a
reality.
Three years later, in 1955, after Hurricane Diane struck and
eight Atlantic and six Northeastern states experienced extensive
storm-produced flooding, public demand for federal flood
assistance surfaced again. This time, the first comprehensive
flood insurance program was guided through the Congress--only to
be struck down. The Congress decided that the best protection
against flood damage came in the shape of dams, dikes, and levees
built by the Army Corps of Engineers.
A re-awakening of both public and Congressional interest in
national flood insurance was to happen, however. In 1960
Hurricane Donna was to leave a path of destruction. In 1961
-3-
Hurricane Carla was to seriously hit the coastal areas. Then
"Betsy" struck in 1965, leaving a trail of havoc. Hurricane Betsy
inspired feasibility studies, which were to provide the framework
for the National Flood Insurance Act. This law, signed August 1,
1968, tied flood plain management to community eligibility for
joining the program. Communities wanting to participate in the
National Flood Insurance Program would have to satisfy established
Federal flood plain management regulations in their flood hazard
areas, and to enforce these regulations. As soon as a community
joined the National Flood Insurance Program, its citizens became
eligible to purchase flood insurance at affordable rates.
However, four years after the bill-signing, the Federal
Insurance Administration had only 95,000 policyholders
representing some $1.5 billion in coverage. But, in 1973,
following the "Year of the Floods," major changes to the original
act were made by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973. This
Act required the purchase of flood insurance in participating
flood-prone communities as a condition for federal or
federally-related loans or other federal financial assistance for
property located in identified flood-plain areas.
After this act went into effect, community membership grew
from 2,000 in 1973 to 16,000 by June 1977. The number of policies
increased from 300,000 to over one million.
1978 marked a turning point for the operation of the National
Flood Insurance Program. In January of that year, the program
changed from a Federal/private insurance industry arrangement to a
fully Federal operation in which insurance service functions were
assumed by a private concern under contract with the Federal
Insurance Administration. This change-over resulted in a
first-year savings of about $15 million over the previous mode of
operation.
THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM
To qualify for the National Flood Insurance Program, a
community applies to the Federal Emergency Management Agency to
join the first phase of that program, the Emergency Program, by
adopting and enforcing preliminary flood plain management
measures. Once a community is in this phase of the program, a
detailed on-site survey is arranged by the Federal Insurance
Administration. This survey determines flood levels for that
community. When the survey is completed, the community then
qualifies for the next, or Regular, phase of the program by
adopting, and enforcing, more comprehensive flood plain
construction measures.
When a community first enters the National Flood Insurance
Program, its residents are eligible to purchase as much as $35,000
worth of coverage for their homes and $10,000 on the contents
under the "Emergency" phase. When their community qualifies under
-4-
the Regular Program, the coverage limits are increased to $185,000
on residential structures and $60,000 on the contents.
Coverage is also available for multi-family residential
structures, small businesses, churches and other structures and
their contents. Any licensed property and casualty insurance
agent can write this coverage and it will become effective five
days after application is made. If there is a transfer of title,
coverage is effective immediately. When coverage is being
increased or when a community is less than 30 days into either
phase of the Program, the effective date of coverage is the next
day.
Coverage written under the limited "Emergency" phase is
subsidized by the government so premium payments are low.
Twenty-five dollars would pay for $10,000 worth of building
coverage to a residence and $123 pays for the maximum coverage
available under Emergency phase limits...$35,000 on structure and
$10,000 on contents. "Regular" program rates are determined
actuarially (according to risk), often producing lower rates than
those for the "Emergency" phase for wisely built construction.
In an average year, river flooding will cause $3 billion in
property damage in the U.S. In 1978, NFIP paid out nearly $140
million to policyholders.
If the goals of the program are realized, fewer people will
require taxpayer-funded disaster relief than ever before. This
will happen both because of the increased amounts of flood
insurance coverage in force and because of the wider acceptance by
communities of local flood plain management measures, enacted
initially by a community to reduce exposure to the hazards of
flood and as a condition for Federal flood insurance.
For more information, interested persons should call their
insurance agent or broker, or call the National Flood Insurance
Program toll-free number, (800) 638-6620.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 80-90
SUBJECT: Beavers
In Block 24 of Seton, we have 2, 3 or 4 beaver dens and the beavers
are destroying the trees in the neighborhoods which results in calls
from irate citizens.
We turned to D.N.R. and got no help; we think because of the City's
ordinance which states:
Section 51.29 Hunting Prohibited. No person, or persons, shall
hereafter, within the City of Mound take, capture, or trap any
animals or birds. (Ord. 398 5/30/79)
The Police have been trying to live trap the beavers so they can be
transplanted, but have had little success.
Does the Council wish to change the ordinance?
The previous ordinance allowed trapping and shouting with permission
of the City. At times, muskrats and squirrels get so bad they damage
property and now we have beavers.

This memo is an official notification that the Minnesota Waste Management Board
has identified your community as a possible search area for a hazardous waste
disposal facility.
This notice is a part of the required siting process set in motion by the
Minnesota Legislature under the Waste Management Act of 1980. The Legisla-
ture, after much deliberation, decided that a hazardous waste land disposal
facility was needed in Minnesota. The Waste Management Board was created
and given the task of siting at least one such land disposal facility. The
Board also must inventory and recommend preferred sites for hazardous waste
processing, incineration, and transfer and storage facilities. Your community
may be considered as a potential site for these facilities as well.
The hazardous waste disposal facility that we are considering will be based on
successful waste management practices and technologies used elsewhere in the
United States. No decision has been made yet about the final facility
design--the Legislature decided that it should first be the subject of public
discussion and debate--but an enclosed sheet suggests some of the technologies
that may be used as well as why such facilities are needed.
Naturally, you will ask, "On what basis have you chosen us as a possible
search area for a hazardous waste disposal facility?'l The answer is this--
we have not yet eliminated any community. We want to share the information
we have and get your ideas before we make a final decision.
We must make some major decisions on criteria and sites soon. The law requires
that by May 1981, the Waste Management Board must propose six or more candidate
sites for the hazardous waste land disposal facility. That means that between
now and May 1981, we must discuss and select criteria and apply those criteria

to the entire State. Obviously, criteria become very important to the selection
process. Depending on th~ criteria, any locality in Minncsota~ includin~ ¥ours~
could be selected as a site for this facility.
In keeping with both the spirit and letter of the Waste Management Act, the
Minnesota Waste Management Board will select criteria and candidate sites only
after extensive public involvement at the local level. As a local official,
you and/or a representative of your community are invited and encouraged to
participate in this process. If you ignore this public input process, then
your community may not be fully represented as criteria are discussed and
selected.
Enclosed with this memo is a reply card. Please return it to us with the names
and mailing addresses of the person or persons from your community who will
help Minnesota select criteria for the siting of a hazardous waste land disposal
facility.
The persons whose names you give us, together with other interested citizens,
will form a criteria and siting committee in your Development Region. A
similar committee will be formed in each of the 13 Development Regions of the
State. Regional Development Commission staff representatives may help the
committees by arranging meeting space, taking minutes, sending notices, etc.
The committees will meet at least twice between now and May 1981. Their job is
to give the Waste Management Board significant input into the process of select-
ing criteria and sites for a hazardous waste disposal facility.
Also enclosed is a step-by-step schedule which details the procedures the Waste
Management Board will follow in selecting candidate and final sites for the
disposal facility. As you can see, there is also opportunity for public involve-
ment after the candidate sites have been selected. Your involvement prior to
that time, however, can help determine whether or not your community is in the
final list.
Another enclosure for your consideration before our upcoming meetings is a fact
sheet on siting factors that have been suggested to us. Some of these factors
might eliminate your area from further consideration. Others might identify
your community as a likely location for a hazardous waste disposal site.
Although we are listing these factors without endorsement, we will have to choose
between them soon so we can identify sites. So come to the meeting in your
Development Region if you agree or disagree with these factors or if you have
others to propose. We want your recommendations and suggestions on the criteria,
standards, and procedures we should use in selecting candidate sites, either at
the meeting or by letter before then.
Your community is a possible site for a hazardous waste disposal facility.
Your community should help the Waste Management Board determine where and on
what basis this facility ought to be sited. We have no preconceived notions.
We do, however, agree with the Legislature that hazardous, non-nuclear waste is
a problem and that something has to be done. We also know that the problem,
while serious, is not yet critical. Together we can find a solution. But we
need your help to do it.
Please send us the names of your community representatives no later than
November 21, 1980.

WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD SITING TIMETABLE
Disposal Facilities
- November, 1980. The Waste Management Board (WMB) notifies communities in
search areas for hazardous waste disposal facilities.
- November, 1980 - May, 1981. Public meetings will be held in each Development
Region to discuss and recommend siting criteria to the WMB.
- May, 1981. The WMB must propose six or more candidate sites for commercial
hazardous waste disposal facilities.
- May, 1981 - August, 1981. Additional meetings as well as hearings will be
held in the Development Regions on the proposed candidate sites.
- August, 1981. The WMB will select six candidate sites in six different
counties--one per county. Subsequently, the Governor will appoint a Local
Project Review Committee from each affected county to act as a communication
link between the affected community and the involved state agencies to relay
information and local concerns. Each Local Proiect Review Committee must
select a temporary voting member to serve on the Waste Management Board to
represent his or her community in the siting deliberations of the WMB.
- January, 1982. The WMB will present two reports to the Legislative Commission
on Waste Management, after consultation with the Local Project Review Com-
mittees and after a public meeting in each affected county. One report will
be on mitigation of local effects of a hazardous disposal facility, and
will propose ways to reduce local impacts and compensate the host communities.
The other report will be on hazardous waste management, and will contain a
draft hazardous waste management plan and a proposed certificate of need for
one or more disposal facilities.
- May, 1982. The WMB will issue a certificate of need for hazardous waste
disposal facilities that will specify the size and types of disposal
facilities to be built at one or more of the candidate sites.
- September, 1982. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency will complete
environmental impact statements on disposal facilities at each of the six
candidate sites.
- Spring, 1983. The WMB will select one or more of the sites for disposal
facilities, after hearings in each county, discussions with affected local
governments and others, and after consideration of the Pollution Control
Agency's environmental impact statements.
Processing Facilities
- June l, 1981. The WMB will propose at least 9 sites to appear on a hazardous
waste processing site inventory, including (1) three incineration sites, (2)
three chemical processing sites, and (3) three transfer and storage sites.
- November l, 1981. The WMB will prepare a final inventory of processing sites.
WHAT IS
~.RDOUS WASTE LAND DISPOS!
AND
WHY DOES MINNESOTA NEED ONE?
FACILITY
Along with the benefits of modern technology come certain drawbacks. To make our standard of living possible, a
variety of manufacturing processes furnish necessary products. Those same processes, however, produce by-products and
eventually wastes. These include, for example, miscellaneous chemicals, waste oils and solvents, paint sludges, electro-
plating wastes, and incinerator ashes. These waste by-products must be safely disposed of or effectively recycled or
reprocessed.
Most wastes from industry do not constitute a problem, but some do. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency
and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency have identified certain wastes from industrial, laboratory, medical, mining,
and agricultural activities as "hazardous." (Actually, even some household activities could generate hazardous wastes.)
Unlike solid waste, such as household garbage, hazardous wastes usually cannot be routinely managed in a sanitary
landfill. Specially designed facilities may be necessary to ensure that these wastes are reduced and disposed of safely.
Processing facilities can recycle or reduce the amount of hazardous waste, and disposal facilities are used for long-term
containment.
Technology exists to ensure the safe disposal of hazardous waste, but currently Minnesota does not have the facilities
needed to manage the hazardous wastes generated by our state (more than 150,000 tons per year, by one estimate). It
is the responsibility of the Waste Management Board to determine specifically what sizes and types of facilities are
needed to manage these wastes, and then to find a site for at least one land disposal facility in the State. The private
sector will be expected to construct and operate the facilities once the sites are finally chosen.
Since the technical options available must be tailored to the specific needs of the State, Minnesotans must register
their opinions on the need, safety, cost, benefit and effect of a hazardous waste disposal facility. That's why public
involvement is needed.
Without this involvement, it is too early to say exactly what Minnesota's land disposal facility will look like.
However, a general picture can be tentatively drawn.
The land disposal facility would be large - possibly 400 acres if it is to contain 20 years of Minnesota's land
disposable hazardous waste. "Cells" for waste containment would be constructed, first by excavating soil and then by
installing engineering safeguards against waste seepage. These would probably include carefully placed clay or synthetic
liner systems and underground collection pipes to collect seepage and return it to the surface for treatment. There would
also be monitoring systems to warn if any seepage had penetrated the liners and escaped into surrounding soils.
Wastes would probably be trucked in; possibly 20 to 30 loads a day. Laboratory spot checks (on or off site) would
ascertain the identity and appropriate management of incoming wastes. Pre-treatment of certain wastes would probably be
required, and could occur either at the disposal site or at a waste processing facility elsewhere. This would have the effect
of reducing the volume or the level of hazard of the wastes, or of removing excess water that could complicate operations
or carry contaminants away from the land disposal facility.
Incompatible wastes would be separated and placed in different parts of the site, and accurate records of all wastes
disposed and their locations in the facility would be maintained.
As individual waste containment cells were filled during the operation of a site, impermeable soils or liners would be
placed over them and the top soil would be contoured to handle rain runoff. This would help divert moisture from the
wastes and still further reduce the chance of seepage away from the site.
Final closure of the facility would be performed according to strict federal and state environmental standards. Before
the facility operator could even be licensed he or she would have to have determined provisions for long-term care of the
site. Included would be final cover and contouring, and groundwater and other long-term monitoring of the site. Any
problems would have to be corrected by the facility operator alone or in conjunction with federal or state authorities.
This description is only preliminary, since the final design of the facility is one of the issues for public discussion
before the Waste Management Board makes any final decisions.

POSSIBLE SITING FACTORS
The Waste Management Board (WMB) decided not to select s~t;ng cr;ter[a {or a ~azardous waste c~is136~l facility until
citizens throughout the State had expressed their opinions on the subject. However, to encourage discussion the WMB is
now mentioning certain factors that have been suggested to the WMB or in past siting studies. They are stated without
endorsement by the WMB, and are merely a starting point for the discussion that will guide the WMB in choosing final
criteria and sites that are acceptable to most of the interested citizens of the State.
These factors reflect opinions of various government agencies and other organizations regarding the best types of
locations to site hazardous waste land disposal facilities, based on such concerns as groundwater protection, transportation
safety, economic feasibility, industrial development, and health, safety, and nuisance impacts on the nearby public. These
are not the final siting criteria, nor have they been given any weights relative to each other.
Maps will be available at future meetings in your Development Region that show how your community stands on
some of these factors. Other factors may not be mapped because statewide data is unavailable or because they cannot be
researched and analyzed until specific sites are under consideration.
HAZARDOUS WASTE GENERATION -- Hazardous waste generation is often concentrated in industrialized
areas. It has been suggested that disposal facilities should not be sited too far from the points of generation because of
increased transportation costs and risks. In Minnesota, the only statewide data currently available indicates that the major
generating areas are the Twin Cities Metropolitan area and Southeast Minnesota, generating an estimated 66 percent and
18 percent of the State's hazardous wastes, respectively.
It is difficult to say how close a disposal facility should be to the generating areas. One suggested figure is 100 miles
or less, although today certain wastes are being trucked about 400 miles to facilities in Illinois and elsewhere.
TRANSPORTATION ACCESS - Reports done for the Pollution Control Agency and other government bodies
have suggested that transportation access may be an important siting factor, since it will determine the roadways that
hazardous waste will move over and the likelihood and the possible harmful effects of any accidents. Possible aspects to
consider include adjacent land uses (e.g., schools, hospitals, and residences), the number of intersections per mile, and the
distance from certain types of main highways (e.g., limited access four-lane roadways; State and federal highways; or
9-ton capacity roads).
SETTLEMENT PATTERNS -- A study of hazardous waste done for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
suggests that a hazardous waste land disposal facility and buffer zone could require about 420 acres to contain 20 years
worth of Minnesota-generated wastes. This size is very tentative and will be finally determined only after further analysis,
public discussion, and decisions regarding what wastes may be land disposed in Minnesota. Still, the 420-acre figure
suggests that areas of dense population settlement may not contain land parcels large enough for a facility.
LAND OWNERSHIP PATTERNS - Land ownership patterns may affect the feasibility of acquiring parcels of
land large enough to accommodate a hazardous waste land disposal faciliW. They also can affect the types of adjacent
land uses that may be subject to nuisance impacts from a facility.
Some of the land ownership patterns that may be considered include the number of different owners and whether
ownership is public or private. In the case of public ownership, distinctions must be made between which level of govern-
ment owns the land and what the land's dedicated use or category is, such as park, forest, or tax forfeited land. It may only be practical to research many of these questions after specific sites are identified,
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT EFFECTS -- A hazardous waste disposal faciliW could attract industrial de-
velopment, especially if the impacted community and the State decide to provide incentives to companies to locate near
the site. Preference may be given to communities that desire such development and have sufficiently large industrial park
locations available.
Some of the issues raised by this and other factors will be the subject of a report the WMB will prepare for the
Legislative Commission on Waste Management on the mitigation of local effects of hazardous waste facilities. This report
will be prepared jointly with citizens from the candidate site communities, and may recommend that the Legislature
consider such programs as tax relief, reimbursement for public services, or incentives for industrial development.
PRODUCTIVITY OF THE LAND FOR VARIOUS USES - Land is a natural resource, and some land is
more suited for certain uses than others. Possible uses to consider are agriculture, forestry, mining, wildlife habitats, and
public enjoyment of natural environment. The WMB may have to make hard choices between sites and uses because one
candidate site may be good for one use, and another candidate site may be good for another use. To choose between
these different uses, factors to consider include: the relative productivity of the candidate site for the particular use, the
availability of other suitable land for that use, and the emphasis that the people of the Development Region and the State
want to place on the different possible uses.
It should be noted that the Legislature has decided that no land may be excluded from consideration for a site unless
it is unlikely to qualify for a Pollution Control Agency permit.
HYDROGEOLOGY- The Geological Survey (MGS) has I a report to the WMB that
recommends that hazardous waste disposal sites be located away from major groundwater systems, such as significant
bedrock and surficial aquifers. This would insure that a disposal facility would be less likely to pollute these natural
resources by acc~denta~ seepage.
MGS recommends that the WMB divide the State into three categories:
· Areas where there is a Iow probability of groundwater contamination because significant groundwater resources
are probably absent.
· Areas where productive groundwater systems may or may not exist, so that there is a reduced probability of
finding naturally favorable sites.
· Areas where significant groundwater systems exist, and where extensive engineering or natural protection (e.g., Iow
permeability clay soils) would be necessary to safeguard these groundwater systems from any accidental seepage
from a disposal facility.
SOIL PERMEABILITY - The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that thick layers of Iow
permeable soils -- such as certain heavy clays -- will inhibit the flow of spilled wastes into groundwater systems below even
if the wastes somehow penetrate the engineered safeguards of a facility (such as liners and collection devices). Therefore,
thick, impermeable soils might compensate for inadequacies in the hydrogeology factor. EPA at one point used the figures
of five feet of material with a permeability of less than two inches per year. Such exact data are not available on a
statewide basis, so on-site investigations would be necessary to determine the permeabilities and soil thicknesses of specific
tracts of land - if the citizens of the State and the WMB finally decide that soil permeability is an important siting
factor.
SURFACE WATERS AND FLOODPLAINS- The Pollution Control Agency and the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency regulate hazardous waste disposal. Though they offer few specific siting criteria, they do prohibit
certain locations, including: within a 100-year flood plain; within 1,000 feet of shoreland; and within a wetland.
These surface water factors must be observed by the WMB in the siting process, although they may become most
relevant only after specific sites are being considered. This is because many of these prohibited areas are often less than a
township in size. So although a part of a township is excluded, there still may be enough land within it for an acceptable
site.

INFORMATION MEMORANDUM NO. 80-89
SUBJECT: Tonkamobile Ridership Report
Attached is a copy of a report received from the Metropolitan Transit
Commission relative to Ridership on the Tonkamobile.
BACKGROUND
In the 1970's, the Metropolitan Transit Commission (MTC), conducted a series of
Route Ridership Improvement projects which were designed to improve public transit
services throughout the seven-county metropolitan area. One of the studies focused
on western Hennepin County which lead to a document entitled: "Western Hennepin
Route Ridership Improvement Project".
The Western Hennepin Project contained'a discussion of a transit improvement
program which included possibilities for new types of transit service. One of
the proposed services dealt with fixed routes interfacing with local paratransit
service. This concept involved focusing transit services on subregional activity
centers, in response to the Transportation Development Guide Policy Plan. Fixed
route service would serve to link the subregional activity center with the metro
center, and paratransit service would provide mobility from outlying neighborhoods
to the subregional activity center.
In 1977, the MTC submitted a preliminary application to the Minnesota Department
of Transportation (Mn/DOT), for a paratransit system which would serve the Lake
Minnetonka Area. The system focused on the use of small vehicles and proposed
to serve the area by providing transportation to subregional activity centers.
In August, 1978, the final application for funding was submitted and subsequently
approved. In April of 1980 the project began operation with non-peak service.
Peak service was added in May.
A Community Advisory Committee, formed from members of the Western Hennepin
Route Ridership Improvement Project Advisory Committee and community input
serves to review project progress, approve and endorse major project activities
and aid with the dissemination of information.
DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
The system is twofold: a point deviation system and an employee subscription
service. Six vehicles are leased to the Town Taxi Company of St. Louis Park
by the MTC for the duration of the project. Four vehicles are used at any one
time. An additional handicapped accessible vehicle is also available for use.
The employee subscription service accommodates work oriented trips. Two vehicles
operate between 6:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday, to serve Cargill, Minnetonka Industrial Park, Opus II and Fingerhut.
A person desiring service registers with Town Taxi. The monthly cost is $32.00.
This service is available to residents of Wayzata, Greenwood, Deephaven, Minne-
tonka, Excelsior and Greenland.
Between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and on Saturday between
8:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., four vehicles operate by point deviation. Vehicles
are scheduled to stop at a given point at a designated time; between points the
vehicles may deviate to accommodate passenger trip requests. The service area
includes Mound, Spring Park, Tonka Bay, Excelsior, Minnetonka and Wayzata,
Deephaven, Shorewood, Greenwood and Woodland. Points are coordinated with MTC
regular route service and transfers granted by the system are honored by regular
route transit and vice versa.
To utilize the point deviation system, a person may either board the vehicle
at a designated point or call the radio dispatch center at least two hours in
advance of the trip for door-to-door service. The dispatcher schedules the
trip within the time frame available for pickups between scheduled time points.
Service is provided with less than two hours notice if vehicles and drivers
are in service and reasonably available.
The fare stru6ture is based on a f~" fixed fare between points and a premium,
20¢, is levied for each deviation. ;ersons under 17 and over 65 years of age
travel for half fare and children under six ride free when accompanied by an
adult.
PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF SERVICE
To date, ridership (Attachment one) on the TonkaMobile has been significantly
less than expected. Although average daily ridership has shown monthly increase,
the system is underutilized. Based on ridership, discussions are underway to
revamp the service. Consideration is being given, based on present ridership,
to eliminate service in the western portion of the service area including Mound
and Spring Park. The western terminus would become County Road 15 and Spring,
although selected daily runs would run to Twin Birch Health Care Facility
to accommodate persons utilizing the congregate dining facility. Eliminating
unproductive service would result in more frequent service to areas that are
utilizing the existing service.
FUTURE
The Lake Minnetonka Paratransit Project is a one year demonstration with the
overall management and marketing provided by the MTC and day-to-day operations
subcontracted to Town Taxi of St. Louis Park.
During the first quarter of 1981, an evaluation will be conducted to determine
whether or not the project goals and objectives have been achieved. The Minnesota
Department of Transportation will also analyze the system. Results of both analyses
will be used as a base to determine the future of the system.
During the initial demonstration phase, the project deficit is wholly funded
by the Minnesota Department of Transportation under the State Paratransit Grant
Program. If the project is to continue beyond the demonstration phase, financial
support from participating communities will be necessary. It is anticipated
that during the second year of operations a community match of 10% of the deficit
will be sought. Preliminary budget estimates for the March, 1981 - April, 1982
contract period indicate the projected deficit will be $330,0001. 10% of this
would equal $33,000.
Following the proposed service realignments, the population base of the communi-
ties receiving service would be 56,970 . If 10% of the deficit ($33,000) was
prorated over the population base, a per capita community contribution of 58¢
would be necessary to meet the match. The estimated financial support from
each community would be:

Re: Thomas and Sons v. Mound
Dear Len:
I am enclosing herewith copy of the letter from the
American Arbitration Association confirming December 17 and 18
for continuation of the hearing. I am copying Lyle Swanson on
this letter as I talked to him and Fred about getting organized
with the documents which the City will want to introduce. I also
call your attention to their letter and the necessity to send an
additional $300 to the American Arbitration Association. Would you
please see that that check is submitted to Barbara Heinitz and copy
me on the letter of transmittal so I know it has been done.
I think Lyle wants to have another meeting prior to
the December 17 hearing, and we can probably do that at their
office, review the documents, and determine exactly how we intend
to proceed.

Dear Local Officials:
To assist your unit of government in monitoring your changing
land uses and as an aid in your planning, I have, by separate
mailing, provided your unit of government with a complimentary
set of 1980 aerial photo prints of your community.
The Council contractedwith Mark Hurd Photos to take the photos
last spring. We did so as much to meet your needs for such
information as our own.
The photos, recently mailed to your chief staff official, are
part of a set of 233 photos that cover the entire Twin Cities
Area. The scale is 1 inch equals 800 feet.
The photos are, in my view, a good example of the kind of
appropriate technical assistance the Council can make available
to your community.

Dear Leonard:
I just want to let you know how accomodating everyone has always
been to me (and others).
Very especially Mary Marske, most recently to my son Phillip, who
is a student at St. Cloud. His problem was getting down to register to
vote on an absentee ballot.
Mary Marske said that if he couldn't get down by 4:30 October 31, she
would come in on Saturday, November 1 to let him register and vote. That's
above and beyond call of duty.
This kindness and understanding should not go without notice, on the part
of Mary Marske, and all the others employed by the City of Mound.

TO: METROPOLITAN AREA LEGISLATORS., MUNICIPAL AND TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS, AND
INTERESTED CITIZENS
The 1980. State Waste Management Act requires the Metropolitan C°uncil to
prapare and submit a solid waste "abatement" report to the seven
metropolitan counties by January 1981. The purpose of the report is to
provide a planning framework the counties can use in developing alternatives
for reducing the future need for sanitary landfills.
A first draft of the report was prepared in September, and was discussed
at a series of meetings held around the Twin Cities Area in October. A
second draft of the report, entitled Land Disposal Abatement: Final Report,
is now available by calling the Council's Public Information Office at
291-6464 (publication number 12-80-081).
The Metropolitan Council will hold a special meeting Dec. 4 to hear public
comments on the document. The public meeting will be held at. 7 p.m~ in
the Metropolitan Council offices, 300 Metro Square Bldg., 7th and Robert
Sts., St. Paul. You are cordially invited to attend and offer your comments.
The final report draft contains goals and recommendations to guide abatement
efforts of both private industry and government. It describes different
kinds of abatement strategies, discusses potential methods of financing
abatement programs, potential program costs and possible economic incentives
that could encourage participation of private industry in abatement programs.
~other featura of the report is a recommended schedule for implementing -
waste reduction, recycling, waste processing and resource recovery programs.
The Twin Cities Area is expected to generate 3.1 million tons of solid
waste annually by the year 2000. Without a shift to more recycling and
resource recovery, it is estimated that the Twin Cities Area would need
four times the landfill capacity it has now by the year 2000, even if five
of the 11 existing landfills are allowed te expand as proposed.
If waste generation trends continue, the Twin Cities Area could run out
of capacity at its existing landfills between 1985 and 1987, even assuming
landfills ewners receive permission to expand.
An Agency Created to Coordinate the Planning and Development of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area Comprising:
Anoka County O Carver County 0 Dakota County 0 Hennepin County 0 Ramsey County 0 Scott County 0 Washington County
However, difficulties in siting new landfills, risks of groundwater pollution
and the growing demand for natural resources in relation to supply have all
raised serious questions about the Twin Cities Area's continued reliance on
landfills for dealing with solid wastes. Currently, only 14 percent of all
solid waste generated in the Twin Cities Area is recycled; the remainder--86
percent--is disposed of in the 11 sanitary landfills.
The report says that this reliance on landfills could be reversed dramatically
in future years if programs like those recommended in the report are implemented.
Council planners estimate that the Twin Cities Area could recycle or recover energy
or useful materials from 74 to 89 percent of its trash by the year 2000.
The recommendations call for expanding private industry efforts at waste
reduction and recycling, and implementation of similar, government-sponsored
programs between now and 1984.
Major resource recovery projects, like t=ash-burning furnances, are not
likely to become operational until the end of the 1980s, although use of.
smaller, modular-type incinerators are a possibility before then, the report
says.
After the Dec. 4 public meeting, the report will undergo further revision.
Adoption of the report by the Metropolitan Council is expected Dec. 18.
If you would like a copy of the Council's most recent draft on abatement,
please call the Public Information Office at 291-6464. If you would like
to speak at the meeting, call 291-6482.

MINUTE9 0P THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE
BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE
MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT
October 16, 1980
The regular meeting of October 16, 1980, was called
to order by Chairman Cochran at 7:30 p.m. at the Wayzata City
Hall, Wayzata, Minnesota.
Managers Present:
Cochran, Gudmundson, Lehman and
Russell
Manager Thomas arrived at 8:00 p.m.
Also present were board advisors Panzer, Fretheim
and Peterson.
Approval of Minutes.
The minutes of the regular meeting of September 18,
I980, were reviewed. It was noted that there was some confu-
sion regarding the discussion of the temporary by-pass around
Highway 7 on the bottom of page 3. The managers requested
that the application number be included and that the minutes
reflect that two 10 x 10 box culverts were to be placed in
the creek and that these culverts were merely to be a temporary
by-pass around Highway 7 during construction. The managers
asked that this section be retyped with the correction and
distributed with the minutes from this month's meeting. The
managers also noted that the discussion of the preliminary
plan for weed control at the Gray's Bay Control Structure on
p. 8 should reflect their consensus that only if the first
year of harvesting proved effective would any more be done.
Following discussion, it was moved by Russell, seconded by
Gudmundson, that the minutes as amended be approved. Upon
vote the motion carried.
Approval of Permit Applications.
The managers reviewed a written memorandum from the
engineers dated October 9, 1980, summarizing the nature of
the following applications, indicating that they comply with
the applicable standards of the District, and recommending
approval on the terms and conditions as set forth in the
engineer's written memorandum:
McNulty Construction Co. - extension of a
grading/drainage permit for "Amesbury,"
Deephaven. 77-57.
Page
5047 Wren Road,
Harrison Bay-Lake Minnetonka, Mound.
80-83.
E. Wells - rip-rap, 5440 Ridgewood Cove,
Jennings Bay-Lake Minnetonka, Minnetrista.
80-86.
City of Minnetonka - installation of a
.watermain to connect "Pump House No. 10"
with city a city well, Minnetonka. 80-88.
J. Stone - rip-rap, 1535 Bohns Point Road,
Crystal Bay-Lake Minnetonka, Orono. 80-90.
D. Dunlap - rip-rap, 1595 Bohns Point Road,
Crystal Bay-Lake Minnetonka, Orono. 80-93.
Seton Village Townhouses - rip-rap, 4760
West Arm Road, West Arm-Lake Minnetonka,
Spring Park. 80-96.
Following discussion, it was moved by Lehman, seconded by
Gudmundson, that the above permits be approved and issued
subject to all terms and conditions recommended by the engineer.
Upon vote the motion carried.
Minnesota Department of Transportation - Bridse Replacement,
~.H. 7 over Minnehaha Creek~ Hopkins and St. LoUis Park.
80-54. '
John Boynton was present to discuss this application
with the Board of Managers. The engineer reviewed this appli-
cation for approval of construction of Minnesota Department
of Transportation Bridge No. 27193, T.H. 7 at Minnehaha Creek
in Hopkins and St. Louis Park. The project includes the con-
struction of a temporary by-pass for T.H. 7. The engineer
indicated that the managers reviewed this application at last
month's meeting and gave preliminary approval so that the
Department could proceed with design. The Department was
requesting final approval of the project this evening. The
engineer indicated that the Department's calculations indicated
that there would be no increase to the 100 year water level
as a result of the project. Following discussion, it was
moved by Lehman, seconded by Gudmundson, that the application
be approved subject to the engineer's recommendations. Upon
vote the motion carried. The managers also directed the engineer
to monitor water levels upstream and downstream at the temporary
by-pass in the event that high creek flows occurred during con-
struction of the project.
PaEe 4
The managers noted that the increase of only 1.5 cfs was
relatively small and, therefore, would not be a problem. They
also believed that the quality of the water would not be
adversely affected by waiving the storage requirement because
the runoff would drain through approximately 300 feet of
dense vegetation before it entered Tanager Lake. The managers
did request, however, that the applicant immediately sod the
developed area after its disturbance to provide immediate
erosion control. Following discussion, it was moved by Lehman,
seconded by Russell, that the application be approved subject
to the requirement of immediate erosion control measures.
on carried.
W. Johnson - Setback Variance, Lot 4. Block 2 "Highland Shores",
~Priest BaT-Lak~nnetonka, Mound. ~0-gT.
~- _.~m~'-. & Mrs. Johnson were present to discuss this set-
back variance request with the Board of Managers. The engineer
reviewed the application, noting that it requests a setback
of 29 feet from the shoreline. The City of Mound's setback
regulations require that the setback conform with existing
surrounding setbacks. Because the request does conform with
the existing buildings in that area, no action by the City of
Mound is required. The engineer noted that this was the last
lot in the area to be developed and that there was really no
other way to build a house on that particular lot. The
managers also discussed the height of the proposed basement
level and indicated that a condition would be required that
the house be built two feet above the regional flood level;
in other words, that the lowest level of the basement would
have to be at an elevation of 931.5. The managers also re-
quired that the house must be connected to the City sewer
system. Following discussion, it was moved by Lehman, seconded
by Russell, that the application for the setback variance be
approved subject to the conditions noted above. Upon vote the
motion carried.
D. Maiser - Grading/Drainage Review of a Parking Lot, 15119
Minnetonka Boulevard~ Minnetonka. 80-94.
Jack Dial appeared on behalf of the applicant. The
engineer reviewed this application for a grading and drainage
permit for the construction of an 8-stall parking lot in the
City of Minnetonka. An existing residential building is
being converted to an office building requiring that the parking
area be expanded. It was noted that the homes across the
street are also being converted to commercial uses. The
engineer noted that the stormwater storage area is oversized
for the parking lot and will easily handle the runoff from
that area. The application proposes to utilize a filter berm
for maintaining the quality of the stormwater runoff. The
managers added the additional condition that the existing

Treasurer's Report
The treasurer distributed the monthly Administrative
Fund Report dated October 16, 1980, a copy of which is attached.
Following discussion, it was moved by Thomas, seconded by
Gudmundson, that the Administrative Fund Report be approved
and the bills paid as set forth therein. Upon vote the motion
carried.
The treasurer then distributed the monthly Minnehaha
C~eek Improvement Project Fund Report dated October 16, 1980.
It was noted that a request for partial payment #8 had been
received from Acton Construction Company for the amount of
$69,372.12. It was noted that there was an insufficient
balance to pay this bill. Therefore, it was moved by Gudmundson,
seconded by Lehman, that the Report be approved, that $40,000.00
be borrowed from the Maintenance and Repair Fund, that $16,372.12
be borrowed from the Administrative Fund, and that those funds,
in conjunction with the $13,000.00 balance in the Improvement
Fund'be utilized to pay the partial payment #8 to the Acton
Contruction Company. These amounts would be repaid to those
funds upon receipt of sufficient tax settlements for the
Improvement Project Fund. Upon vote the motion carried.

Mr. Leroy J. Fluck
4954 Brunswick Road RR
Mound, MN. 55364
Dear Mr. Fluck:
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of November 12, 1980
wherein you advise that you have not prepaid your assessment because
you feel the work on the street project is not completed to your satis-
faction.
I am not able to forgive interest on special assessments since the dates
by which they are to be paid is set by the City Council and State Law.
I will pass your letter on to the City Council and when your assessment
is prepaid, we will take the case to the Council on whether or not the
interest is due.
A few minutes ago, t talked to the Engineer and he says that there is a
little sod work left to be done which he has been trying to get done for
you while you are at home and will try again to get the people there.
With regard to the interest due on the assessment:
The assessment could have been prepaid without interest through November 6,
1980.
After November 6th, interest was due and payable through December 31, 1980
as long as the assessment was prepaid before November 10, 1980.
After November lO, 1980, interest is due and payable through December 31,
1981. The 1981 payment with interest will appear on your tax statement.
So it will be necessary for the City Council to determine whether or not
they w.~sh to refund your interest.
I do hope that they finish the small amount of work left on your property
within the next few days.
Yours very truly,

Manager and Christenson, Cameroa, and also some Fred~ the drive-
~ay and retaining :.~all ~.~as finished but landscaping and so~ding
have not yet been finished.
Have made numerous calls to abo~e 2~entlmen again about the
completion of job, they all promised work would be done yet this
fall, but as of today its still undone. Therefore we are holding
our payment in full for as::essmenms until ~.zork is completed and
also ~,:ith understanding '..:e are paying no interest, as this ~as
suppose to have been taken up or referred to Cit~~ Clerk Treas.
as early as August 29, 19~0. Also ~.~e stated our oral objecti..~ns
to our aszessments on sep. 23, because our la~:n and landscaping
not com')leted, nor :~a= re~aining -...~all and drive~-ay at th~.t time

Have ma~.de call to smae above zenI~men last t:~o ::eeks and still
no results.
...~ith completion of the ?,,ork %.~e ~.:ill have a chec!: in full t~yment
for assessment only, no interest. As you well kno~ these complaints
have been brought to your attention since Oct,, 1979, by m~_uy
telephone calls, council meetings, oral objections, ~ ;~ell ~s
regirotered letters to your office as ~:ell Mccrum & Knutson.
Also ~.~ill be un to your office to see that this is not put on our

Please take care of this matter , promptly :.~ith the City Clerk

November 10, 1980
Mr. Leonard Kopp, City Manager
City of Mound
5341 Maywood Road
Mound,
Minnesota 55364
Dear Mr. Kopp:
Thank you for providing the City of Orono the opportunity to
review and comment on your proposed comprehensive plan.
Mound's plan appears to be consistent with Orono's planning objectives.
We support and encourage redevelopment of your downtown area. Mound
has always been one of several commercial centers serving Orono
residents. We see no need to change this complimentary relationship.
Orono supports and encourages Mound's efforts at improved environmental
protection. As development matures, there is ever more need to protect
and preserve the natural drainageways, flood plains and wetlands from
unnecessary encroachments. We feel that all lake-area communities must
continue to apply high standards if Lake Minnetonka's environmental
and recreational assets are to be maintained.
We are encouraged by your planning statements concerning County Road 15.
We too believe that it is overloaded with too much traffic and that
improvements need be made in controlling development, traffic generation
and curb cuts. We support implementation of your downtown bypass plan.
Orono, of course, opposes widening of County Road 15 along Lake
Minnetonka. Instead, we believe that efforts should be made to improve
alternate routes for through traffic that need not go through the
center of the Lake. Already, Orono's ring route segment opened this
last spring has decreased driving time from Mound to Wayzata by almost
10 minutes as compared to County Road 15. Orono feels strongly that
improved "ring routes", combined with local safety and intersection
improvements, will do more to alleviate traffic concerns on a long-term
basis than is possible by simply widening the road and funneling more
