MACK'S ADDITION - PID #14-117-24 43 0035
The City Manager explained that this variance application should have
accompanied his street vacation request at the September 29, 1981, Council
Meeting but that due to an oversite, it was not discussed. The Planning
Commission has recommended approval of the 28' front yard variance and
the 8' side yard variance in order for Mr. Munkelwitz to build his garage.
Councilmember Polston said that he thought last week when the vacation was
granted that a variance would not be needed. Concern was voiced about
not enough distance from the road right-of-way to the garage door.

MOUND-SPRING PARK WATER CONNECTION
George Boyer of Eugene A. Hickok and Assocates was present to present
the plans and specifications for the joint Mound-Spring Park Water
Connection on C.S.A.H. 125. He explained that the hardest job has been
coordinating plans with the County to coincide with their removal and
replacement of the bridge between Black Lake and Spring Park Bay. The
County has changed their plans 3 times.
Some of the concerns of'the Council about this connection were:
1. Will Spring Park have enough water to supply us?
2. Spending $35,000.00 for a cross connection when we need an adequate
storage facility in Island Park instead.
3. Would likea letter from Spring Park approving this connection and
committing their $35,000.00 to this project.
The City Manager explained that this connection would be, in a sense,
an insurance policy for Island Park in case of an emergency. If Spring
Park did not have enough water to supply, they could cross-connect and
get water from Orono thru their lines to ours.
Ulrick moved and Charon seconded the following Resolution.
RESOLUTION 81-330 RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SUBMITTED BY EUGENE A. HICKOK AND ASSOCIATES FOR
THE MOUND-SPRING PARK WATER CONNECTION C.S.A.H. 125
AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CHECKED BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
The vote was 4 in favor with Councilmember Polston voting nay. Motion
carried.
Charon moved and Swenson seconded a motion to set a date for the bid
opening after Spring Park approve the plans and specifications and
Mound has a letter from them allocating their $35,000.00 to the project.
The vote was 4 in favor with Councilmember Polston voting nay. Motion
carried.
Councilmember Polston asked about a storage facility for Island Park and
would like an updated report from Eugene A. Hickok and Associates on this.

October 6, 1981
METRO SEWER REPORT - CITY MANAGER
The City Manager reported that the City's Metro Sewer charges will increase
15% above this year in 1982, 25% above the 1982 figure in 1983 and 35%
above the 1983 figure in 1984. This will happen because all the bond payments
and the principal payments of those bonds, for all the capital work Metro
has done in those plants continues to come on line and continues to grow.
Therefore, maybe we should take a look at not tieing our sewer rates to
water usage but instead go to a set rate per month for sewer.

DOCK APPLICATION
The City Manager presented the proposed 1982 Dock Application. There
was discussion on whether to mail dock notices or put a notice in the
newspaper and save the postage. The Council decided they would rather
see the notices mailed. Councilmember Swenson felt ,with the waiting
list, that people who take out a permit and do not construct a dock
should not be given a permit. The attorney suggested some language
changes in the application.
Swenson moved and Charon seconded a motion to approve the dock application
with the third to the last paragraph to read,"Any false information given
or violations of Dock Ordinance 332 shall be reason for denial or
revocation of permit". The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS FROM CITIZENS PRESENT
Jim Murdo, President of Seahorse Condominium Association.- Asked if there
would be any further discussion on the assessment that was approved
September 30, 1981. The City Attorney responded that the roll is now
adopted, the Council has.acted on the assessment and that the Seahorse
letter accepted September 30, 1981, is to preserve their right to appeal
legally in court. Mr. Murdo stated that he did not understand that
there was to be no more discussion on their objection to the unit charge.
Mr. Murdo stated that the Seahorse has strived for 1½ years to get this
unit charge straightened out. The City Attorney explained that the
Engineer (the City's representative) met with the Seahorse people to
explain the assessment. He went on to explain that the City Council
cannot meet with them separately by law. They should have asked to be
put on the Agenda of a Council meeting long ago. Councilmember Ulrick
told Mr. Murdo that the reason he didn't want to close the public hearing
on September 30, 1981, before the coffee break was because he thought the
Seahorse would come back with a presentation besides the 'letter. But
there were no comments after the break and therefore the City Council
acted on the assessment roll. Mayor Lindlan stated that he was under a
complete misunderstanding because he thought the Council would act on
the 11 objections within the 30 days after the hearing. The other
Councilmembers stated that they had understood that the assessment hearing
was for certifying the assessment roll and that after that the roll could
not be changed.. Councilmember Ulrick stated that, as a Council, they have
adopted the assessment roll as of September 30, 1981. Mayor Lindlan stated
that he realizes now that a written objections, presented at a Public
Hearing, does not constitute further action, by the Council, on that item.
No action taken.
CABLE TV COMMITTEE UPDATE
The City Manager reported that the Cable TV Committee has submitted
a budget proposal for 1982 that asks Mound to contribute $4244.40,,
Minnetrista $1030.00, Spring Park $25.50 and St. Bonifacius ($299.60).
He stated that he felt this was unfair as each community has equal
policy voting power and that the Council should rescind Resolution 81-164.
Polston moved and Swenson seconded the following Resolution.
RESOLUTION 81-336 RESOLUTION TO SUSPEND ANY CONSIDERATION OF THE CABLE
TV COMMITTEE'S BUDGET PROGRAM FOR 1982 UNTIL SUCH
TIME AS A COMMON UNDERSTANDING IN THE AREAS OF FINANCIAL
COST SHARING AND VOTING REPRESENTATION IS DEVELOPED.
The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
146
October 6, 1981
It was suggested that a member of the Cable T~ Committee ~hould come an8
speak to the Council.
SCHOOL DISTRICT LETTER - llO CURB CUTS BY THE ARENA
The City Manager present a letter from the School District regarding the
curb cuts on County Road 110 by the Arena. They are asking the city to
participate by con~buting the money for this now and then assessing
that contribution back, over a several year period, to the School District
or the Arena.
Councilmember Uirick is abstaining from this item on the basis that he is
an employee of the School District.
The City Attorney suggested that an agreement, in writing from the
School District, regarding the fact that they want this assessed back to
them would be in order.
Swenson moved and Polston seconded the following Resolution.
RESOLUTION #81-337 RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE THE CITY MANAGER TO REQUEST
THAT THE COUNTY ENTER INTO A CHANGE ORDER TO
CONSTRUCT THE PICK UP AND LOADING AREA ON COMMERCE
BLVD. IN FRONT OF THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT CONTINGENT
UPON RECEIVING, FROM THE SCHOOL DISTRIC~A WRITTEN
AGREEMENT THAT THEY WILL STAND 100% OF THE COST WHICH
IS TO BE IN THE FORM OF AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
The vote was four in favor with Councilmember Ulrick abstaining because of
a potential conflict of interest. Motion carried.
BURLINGTON NORTHERN LEASE
The City Manager reported that the railroad has finally submitted a lease
for the property by.the Seton Bridge. In this lease they want $175.O0
fOr the 1st 10 years and $100.O0 for each 10 years thereafter. The Council
was asked if they felt the City should pay this or the people who want
the fence installed. The Council felt that since we solicited the
Engineer to get bids, we approved the bids and are holding the money for
the fence that it would be better if the lease were in the people's names
and that they should pay for the lease.
Polston moved and Charon seconded a motion that if the Burlington Northern
negotiates a lease arrangement with the people directly, the City Staff
would consider the matter released to the people to take the fence matter
from here. The vote was unanimously in favor. Motion carried.
STAFFING STATEGIES
The City Manager brought the Council up to date on what is going on at
City Hall. He asked if City Hall could be closed on Friday, October 9,
1981, in order to move some desks and furniture around. The Council had
no objections.
POLICE DEPT. MOVE
The Mayor asked if anything further has been done about moving the
Police Dept. to the Community Services Building in downtown Mound
because the school will not hold the space indefinitely.
147
October 6, 1981
Councilmember Polston stated that he cannot see spending this type of
money to move the Police Dept. wlth the t~ght flnanc~ai s~tuat~on.
The City Manager asked if the Council felt he should explore the move.
Councilmember Ulrick mentioned several items: 1. The downtown people feel the Police Dept. should be more visible
in town.
2. He has not seen any proposals from the school.
3. There is no conflict of interest in this matter because he is
not involved in this as a11.
4. That the Council needs to arrive at a decision and before they
can decide, they have to have all the fact and figures.
Ulrick moved and Charon seconded a motion to authorize the City Manager
to move forward and bring, to the Council, as refined a proposal as
possible on the costs and various options. The vote was unanimously in
favor. Motion carried.

The proposed size is excessive for the intended use and should not be allowed
larger than 3 X 3 or 9 square feet as permitted by the existing sign ordinance.
2. Terrence P. Wulf, 2600 Ruby Lane
Nonconforming Use
The existing nonconforming utility shed allowed once by a variance should be

Gregory Malik, 4908 Three Points BouleYard
Street Vacation - Portion of West sidei!of Three Points Boulevard from Glen Elyn
to end of Lot l, Block 23, Shady~ood. Point
The right-of-way vacation could be vacated to within seven (7) feet of the
existing traveled roadway providing there are no City utilities in that area
and also the vacation should follow uniformly to the intersection of Glen Elyn
and Three Points Boulevard if allowed. Also, the property at this time is
undersized by 824.3 square feet.
Arthur J. Peterson, 4872 Leslie Road
Street Vacation - Outside corner of Leslie Road abutting Lot 8 and part of
Lot 9, Block 21, Wychwood
Also, this right-of-way vacation could be vacated for street purposes to within
seven (7) feet of the existing back of curb line, but retain the full thirty
(30) feet for City utility services. As shown on the enclosed street profile--
the purpose to retain seven (7) feet is for possible berm work, planting, side-
walks, etc. Vacation should be uniform from Marlboro to Bradford Lane where-
ever possible.

Re:
Proposed Street Vacation
Portion of 3 Points Boulevard
Adjacent to Lot 1, Block 23,
Shadywood Point - Job #2113
Dear Mr. Elam:
We have reviewed the above proposed vacation and have the
following comments and recommendations. This was an extension of a
State Aid street and therefore, the 66' right-of-way was obtained.
It would seem that it may be desirable to keep the entire right-of-
way.
1) If the City desires to vacate any of the R/W, they
should maintain a minimum of 50' R/~. Since the
existing R/W is 66', 16' could be vacated and it could
be taken off the one side. If this section is ever
upgraded to include concrete curb and gutter, most
likely the new road would be centered on the R/W.
2)
Sanitary sewer is located approximately in the
center of the R/W. If a portion is vacated, the
new property line should be no closer than 15 feet
to the sanitary sewer.
3)
We would recommend that no more than 10' be vacated
along the northwesterly side. The proposed addition
shown would extend approximately 18' into the ex-
isting R/W, which would leave less than 10' to the
edge of the driven road.
If you need any further information, please contact me.
Very truly yours,
McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC.

The Public Works Department can foresee no future need for that portion

of the right-of-way.
The outside corner of Leslie Road adjacent to Lots 7,8,9,14,15 & 16, Block

Wychwood - Job #2113
Dear Mr. Elam:
We have reviewed the above proposed vacation and have the
following comments and recommendations.
l)
Since the street and park in this area have been up-
graded, we see no future use of this area for road
purposes.
2)
This portion of Leslie Road has sanitary sewer,
watermain and gas located in it, therefore, it
would seem best just to retain the entire R/W
However, if you decide to vacate it, utility
easements should be retained on the entire area
to be vacated.
3)
We would recommend a lO foot boulevard be retained
behind the existing curb. The area which could be
vacated is indicated on the attached drawing.
If you need any further information, please contact me.

GREETINGSI~!
Your Chamber of Commerce is alive and well[ 1981 has been a very eventful
year. The most exciting thing as a community event was our "First Annual
Citizen Of The Year" Dinner, honoring Mr. Jim Richardson. Your Chamber
has been very active in participating with city councils in the many prob-
lems that have occurred (i.e. road construction). Because of the projects
and ideas from the First Annual Retreat, it was very apparent that your
Board should proceed in hiring a professional Executive Secretary. This
person will enable us to put in action the ideas the members decided upon.
Your Board of Directors has established a budget for 1982 based upon the
above guidelines. Enclosed you will find a statement reflecting the annual
dues that the Board of Directors feels is fair. Because of the overwhelming
response from the membership, the Westonka Chamber of Commerce, Inc., will
be hiring an Executive Secretary in the ver~ near future. We will be able to
solve many of the Westonka problems that, heretofore, have been left unanswered.
If you have any questions, call Jim French at 472-2929.
Sincerely,
Sharon Gross,
secretary

I am writing to you about the fact that one of Mound's
representatives to the West Hennepin Human Services Planning
Board, Connie Stahlbusch, has attended only one of the eight
Board meetings held during 1981.
Because of her poor attendance, we would appreciate it if
Mound would find a replacement for Ms. Stahlbusch. We be-
lieve that it is important to have each member municipality
fully represented in the decisionmaking process.
We would be happy to assist you'in finding another representa-

Resolution re Sludge, Hazardous or Other Solid Waste
Landfills
The attached Lake Minnetonka Conservation District resolution
expresses its opposition to the location of any sludge, hazardous
or other solid waste dump site in the Lake Minnetonka drainage
area.
After spending many millions of dollars installing the Metro
sewer system and closing all of the dumps in the Lake drainage
area during the past 20 years, it is inconceivable that anyone
would consider opening new and much larger 'facilities which
could pollute Minnesota's most valuable water recreational
resource.
Instead, it is hoped that responsible agencies will direct
their efforts toward finding suitable alternative disposal
methods.
The District, through the adoption of Resolution 37, wishes to
encourage those agencies to resist potential further pollution
of the area by finding a better way.
Sincerely, ·

A RESOLUTION REGARDING DISPOSAL OF SEWAGE,
SLUDGE, HAZARDOUS OR OTHER SOLID WASTE IN
LANDFILLS IN THE LAKE MINNETONKA DRAINAGE
WHEREAS various agencies of the state and counties are in the process
of selecting landfill sites; and
WHEREAS some consideration may be given to locating one or more of these
sites within the Lake Minnetonka drainage basin; and
WHEREAS many old landfill sites remain in the drainage area; and
WHEREAS these dump sites remain unmonitored and unreported; and
WHEREAS many old sewage sludge ponds remain from sewage plants close~
in the past; and
WHEREAS these ponds remain unmonitored and unreported; and
h~EREAS the Maple Plain Sewer Treatment Plant is still discharging
effluent into the Lake Minnetonka drainage area; and
WHEREAS this problem could be easily remedied by diverting the discharge
into its own watershed; and
WHEREAS local sewage collection systems in the drainage area have not
been completed; and
WHEREAS many septic systems in the drainage area remain unmonitored; and
WHEREAS the placement of such potential pollutants into the drainage
area would further burden an already overladen Lake; and
WHEREAS the location of such landfill sites in the Lake Minnetonka
drainage area would violate the LMCD Code:
5.03. GENERAL PROHIBITION. Subdivision 1. Polluting Waters.
No person shall pollute the surface waters of the district by
placing or depositing or by permitting to be placed or deposited
in, or upon said waters or upon any public or private property
from which may run into said water any sewage, industrial waste,
garbage, rubbish or other waste.
and '
WHEREAS the location of such landfill sites in the Lake Minnetonka
drainage area would.violate the Special Laws of Minnesota for
January 30, 1889:

Resolution No. 37 - Page 2
Section 1. No person or persons shall polute (sic) or defile
the waters of Lake Minnetonka by depositing therein any sewage,

Lake Minnetonka drainage area by creating new landfills or by any
other means;
2. The District will oppose such contamination of Lake Minnetonka with
every means at its disposal;
3. The District will be happy to continue to assist in locating proper
disposal sites; and

RE: General Revenue Sharing
Industrial Revenue Bonds
General Revenue Sharin9
President Reagan has proposed a(%~J~)in the general revenue sharing program,
which will amount to a loss of $~'5'l~lion in fiscal year 1982. If approvedj
this will mean loss of approximately $4 million to Minnesota Cities. It was
also disclosed that further cuts may be requested for fiscal year 1983, leading
to possible phase-out of the program entirely by fiscal year 1984.
These proposals, if carried out, will obviously have a disastrous effect on
cities' budgets. Concerned city officials should contact their senators and
representatives to urge continuation of this program at its present funding
level. It is important to stress the fact that revenue sharing is a three-year
entitlement program, and thus should not be subject to annual funding review
within the three-year period. If funding is to be reduced, the legislation
governing the revenue sharing program must be changed first. Senator David
Durenberger is a member of the Senate Finance Committee which will be involved
in reviewing the general revenue sharing program, should the legislation need
to be amended. Should the funding be reduced without amending the legislation
the support of Representative Martin Olav Sabo, a member of the House Appropria-
tions Committee, will be very important.
Again, it is crucial that city officials contact their two senators and repre-
sentative to oppose any cutback in the general revenue sharing program, em-
phasizing especially the entitlement ~eature of the program.
II.
Industrial Revenue'Bonds
Congress has been considering enacting limitations on the use of industrial
revenue bonds for some months. The likelihood of major new restrictions was
increased recently when President Reagan announced that his administration

would be proposing IDB restrictions as a federal revenue-raising measure. It
is not yet clear what limitations the President will endorse - the specifics
are being worked out by the Treasury Department and should be available in
several weeks.
In any case, widely varying rumors concerning IDB's are flying fast and furious.
Some people have said that federal legislation will soon be introduced that
would effectively halt any IDB project unless it had been formally approved by
a city as of October 1, 1981 (or some other imminent date). This rumor, and ones
like it, have been vigorously discounted by the National League of Cities lobbyist
working with this issue.
ACcording to NLC, all indications from key Treasury officials are that any
restrictions to be imposed will be prospective. The type of "grandfather" and
transition provisions that caused problems in the recent legislation restricting
mortgage revenue bonds will probably be avoided.
Our advice to Minnesota cities now is as follows:
1) No one really knows now what kinds of restrictions will be enacted or~.when
they will take effect.
2) If your city is considering an IDB proposal, you are best advised to proceed
as you normally would in evaluating and'approving an IDB project. ~Do .not
act at the expense ofcareful decision-making as to whethe~ the project is
an appropriate Use for tax-exempt financing in your city. -If IDB's aren't
completely eliminated and there is a rash of hastily conceived projects our
position'with the State Legislature on this issue will not be improved.
3) If you are concerned about your city's ability to continue to use IDB's,
contact your Congressman, Senators, and the President. PrOvide specific
information as to'worthwhile projects which would not be possible'without
'IDB's.

Ninutes - Downtown Advisory Committee - October 5, 1981
12 noon at Branty's
Present: Paul Pond, Ron Norstrem, Georgiann Daly, Dave Willette,
Pete Ward, George Stevens, Orv Huseby, Ron Carlson
Also present: Gerry Longpre,,Mary Campbell, Jon Elam, Clayton Nolby,
Rob Chelseth, and Diane Arneson
flinutes of three preceeding meetings were approved.
Ron Norstrem reported for the sub-committee on streetlighting. He
retraced the confusion concerning, selection of fixtures. Ron said
the frustration has been getting different answers from.different
people. Jon Elam sun~narized: "~It wasn't'a -legal case. It'~'a matter
of $7000. The City has authorized the fixture thatyou (the
committee) didn't". Elam indicatedla,change_order will result in
all poles and fixtures being painted the .same bronze color.
He added that purchasing $180,000 worth of new streetlighting has
been controversial enough in'the community.~without adding
$7000 more.
Jon Elam introduced Clayt Nolby, the County's project engineer for the
llO project. Nolby reviewed the-work schedule and told about difficulties
in satisfying committee recommendations on details of the project.
Placement of crosswalks was discussed. The chief-of-police was
consulted on the matter, as were some businessmen. Pond inquired
whose responsibility crosswalk maintenance and boulevard maintenance
is. The contract is for the county 'to install above and the city
to maintain them. The Chief of Police will be invited to attend
the 12 Oct. meetin~ to review crosswalk placement. It is that week that
determination of placement must be finalized.
N°lby explained that placement of power poles was determined by N.S.P.
and their right-of-way. The setbacks requested by the committee would
have cost the city an extra $50,000. "Blowout" of power wires cannot
transgress private property lines. Burying the power lines was
considered only briefly at the outset of the project. It would reportedly
have cost ten times as much (10 x ??) Grass boulevards along llO
will be maintained by the city. If anyone would like to plant and
care for flowers there, that would be encouraged. Contact Paul Pond.
Rob Chelseth summarized his project work for Crookston, MN. The project
was larger than Mound's in many resPects'. Additional money, was spent
on a consumer survey. Project qualified for federal funds as a
community development block grant in the amount,of.S1.4 million.
Mound receives ~pproximately $100,000 each year as part of an urban county
block grant. The park development at Island Park is an example of
how those funds were used. Also low-income housing rehabilitation and
winterization/weatherizat~on are uses for this funding.. The county is
about to impose a 7% fee for administration of even these meager funds~
Jon Elam: "Whatever you come up with will have to be a homegrown plan.
Anyone tying projects to federal money now is asking for a.lot of
frustration.
Minutes from Oct. a /2
N0rstrem: "Then why are we continuing if there's no federal money?"
Chelseth: You have the choice to do something or nothing.
Elam: I and the city councll see your-task.as developin~ a reasonable
plan and the city will do what we can to implement'it:- B~t we need a
plan .first. Then the plan needs a constituency of support. Explore
all the possibilities. Don't assume that something won't work. Go
after private developer$'~as.a Committee of Ten. That's powerful.
Pond said ideas will be solicited from the 'public at 'large.
Chelseth started with survey of retail businesses. Survey was-deferred
until more responses can be included. Chelseth,will ~get necessary
information to sub-committee of-Ward,~ Campbel.1, and.Daly for phoning

RETAIL BUSINESS SURVEY
In addition to receiving input from the residents of Mound regarding their
shopping habits the views of the city's merchants regarding downtown were ~lso
solicited. This was done through a questionaire mailed to City merchants in
September of 1981. These surveys were mailed to 54 businesses in Mound
which have retail commercial or over the counter sales.' Services and
industry were not surveyed. This should be kept in mind when discussing
the results. As with the previous consumer survey the results are not and
should not be taken to be perfectly accurate. They do however provide a
useful indication of the general business climate in downtown Mound as well
as information which can be used in forming strategies regarding the downtown's
future.
Breakdown/Analysis of Survey Results
Question #1 was a reference check as to name and address.
.not critical to this analysis.
The ~esultS are
Question #2 provides an indication of the types of retail businesses which
are located in Mound.
Retail Trade - General Merchandise: 1
Retail Trade - Food: 3
Retail Trade - Apparel and accessories: 2
Retail Trade - Furniture; home accessories, and equipment: 4
Retail Trade - Miscellaneous Retail: 7
Financial Services: 1
Total Surveys returned: 18
Question #3'found that 72.3% of the businesses surveyed rented their building
while 27.7% owned the building they occupied.
Question #4 yields the average square footage of the businesses in Mound.
The average square footage computed from the surveys is 3234 square feet.
Question #5 found that 39% of the businesses were organized as corporations,
45% as individual businesses, 11% as partnerships and 5% were organized in
other manners.
Question #6 and ~7 show that the average number of years in business is 15
years with the average number of years at the current location being 11 years.
This is indicative of the stable nature of many of the downtown businesses
in Mound.
In Question #8 it was found that the average number of full-time employees
was 3.6 and the average number part-time employees was 3.9. This indicates
a slightly higher reliance on part-time rather than full-time help and is
indicative of most retail businesses.
Question #9 represents a survey of the general business trends in Mound
over the past five years. The results are presented below.
Business increasing 78%
Business decreasing 11%
Business remaining the same
11%
The resusts are surprising in light of the national economic conditions
but provide a glimpse of the underlying strength of the downtown Mound area.
Question #10 addresses the issue of why the business trends.appear as they
do. These results are summerized in Table'XII. Specifically 72% of the
merchants pointed to the attraction of new customers as helping business
while 55% credited advertising and 50% felt that inflation was a factor in
determining any downward business trends that have occured in the past 5
years. Ab~ 22% felt that location affected b~siness trends, while 27.6%
felt that remodeling and expansion played a role in past business trends.
Question #11 outlines the past capital expenditures that Mound merchants have
undertaken in the past 5 years. These results are shown in Table XIII. The
vast majority of effort has been in improving existing buildings through
repairs (38.8%), remodeling (38.8%), new fixtures (44.4%) and adding new
equipment (50%) as opposed to the construction of new buildings (5.5%).
Question #12 attempts to indicate what capital expenditures are being planned
for the next 5 years. These results are shown in Table XIV. Again the
majority of effort is expected to ae concentrated on the upgrading of

Minnehaha Creek Channel Improvements at West 44th Street
Cooperative Pro~ect No. CP-7
The engineer distributed a tabulation of bids
received in response to the advertisement for bids for the
channel improvement project at West 44th Street in the City
of Edina, Cooperative Project (No. CP-7.) The engineer ad-
vised the managers that U.D. Contracting was the low bidder
and that his investigation revealed that work performed by
this contractor for other governmental agencies had been
satisfactory. Following discussion, it was moved by Lehman,
seconded by Gudmundson, that U.D. Contracting be determined
to be the responsible low bidder for Project CP-7, that the
contract for the work as described in the plans and specifi-
cations be awarded to U.D. Contracting, and that the officers
of the district be authorized and directed to execute all
necessary documents to direct the contractor to commence per-
formance of this work. Upon vote the motion carried.
Upper Watershed Improvement Project/Painter Creek Work Plan
Status Report
The engineer distributed the revised cost estimate
dated September 14, 1981, and indicated that a public infor-
mational meeting had been scheduled by the Advisory Committee
to be held October 1, 1981, at 8:00 p.m. at the Independence
City Hall with regard to activities within the Painter Marsh
area.
1981 Water Maintenance and Repair Fund Allocations/St. Louis
Park and Medina
The engineer reported that the City of St. Louis
Park had undertaken work on the retaining wall previously
authorized for water maintenance and repair funding. The
engineer reviewed a request from the City of St. Louis Park
for modifications to the existing authorizations. The engin-
eer recommended rescinding the three allocations previously
made to the City on June 18,~ 1981, for retaining wall repair
at Edgebrook, creek bank stabilization at the C&NW Railroad
Crossing, and dredging at Decatur Lane and, in lieu of the
rescinded allocations, recommended approval of 28% of the
total construction cost of both the retaining wall and the
September 17, 1981
Page 12
dredging project, but not to exceed $3,800. Following dis-
cussion, it was moved by Lehman, seconded by Russell, that
the allocations be approved as recommended by the engineer.
Upon vote the motion carried.
The engineer then advised the managers that the
City of Medina had submitted a request for funding culvert re-
pair with an estimated cost of $1,488. The engineer recommended
approval of a maintenance fund allocation for this project of
one half of actual construction costs not.to exceed $744. Fol-
lowing discussion, it was moved by Lehman, seconded by Russell,
that the allocation be approved as recommended by the engineer.
LMCD Proposal for Water Quality Study/"Blue Water" Pro~ect
The engineer reviewed a study proposal as outlined
in memoranda dated September 3 and September 15, 1981. The
managers reviewed the memoranda and discussed the proposed
project as outlined in the written memoranda. Following dis-
cussion, it was moved by Lehman, seconded by Russell, that
the district accept and approve the proposal, the engineer
be directed to undertake the project as outlined in the memo-
randa subject to and conditioned upon acceptance by the Lake
Minnetonka Conservation District of the same proposal. Upon
vote uhe motion carried.
City of Minneapolis Proposal for Minnehaha Creek Study
The engineer advised the mangers that a meeting had
been.held with City of Minneapolis representatives and repre-
sentatives of the Minneapolis Park Board and the Department
of Natural Resources with regard to the City's proposal for
a study of the hydrologic conditions along various reaches of
Minnehaha Creek. Following'discussion, the managers directed
the engineer to prepare an outline of the scope of the study,
identifying particular reaches of the creek, and to prepare a
cost estimate for such a study and return the proposaI to the
managers at the next regular meeting.
Galvin Lake Petitiqn
The engineer reviewed a letter from the City of
Excelsior date~ August 21, 1981, requesting participation by
the district in a cooperative effort to clean the Galpin Lake
drainage system and to act as contracting agent for such work.
Following discussion, the managers directed the attorney to
investigate the request and to advise the City that the
district did not wish to act as the contracting agent for
the work, but rather this should be done by the City.

In times past we've expressed concern about credit markets but the third quarter decline in the
bond market has never been equaled. The trade was alarmed about rates going up 1/4 of 1% per
week for six or seven weeks running but then tax exempt rates went up 1/2 of 1% per week.
'Used to be that that kind of movement was big in a year.
The underlying cause has to be the FED effort
to control the money supply and inflation, but
the tax exempt market got a triple whammy with
reduction of the maximum tax on so-called "
"unearned" income, and with tax exempt all-
saver's certificates. They've taken tens of
billions out of the regular tax exempt bond PREV. WEEK~4.0?%
market.
THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1981
It proves with a vengeance that the tax-exempt bond market is limited and fragile. If, with
innovative and expanded uses, we saturate higher bracket tax exempt investors, interest rates
must increase to attract investors from lower and lower tax brackets. The spread between
taxable and tax exempt interest rates is narrowing dramatically and if the spread closes
all-saver certificates not only won't do much for the "thrifts" but will have destroyed for
local governments any advantage from tax exempt financing.
The underwriting fraternity isn't so lily-white either. Dealers loudly lament the all-saver's
certificates but defend to the limit the unlimited use of tax exempt bonds for housing and
industrial loans which also compete with cities, school districts, counties and the states.
State and local governments must realize that allowing others to use their tax exemption does
increase their own interest rates.
Underwriters act as though tax exemption is the very basis for their existence, but businesses
will need financing whether or not it's tax exempt. Some marginal industries might not proceed
unless their borrowing costs are tax free but in most cases a viable industry will finance its
expansion anyway. If every community can finance tax free then none has a peculiar tax exempt
advantage. So why give away your tax exempt status?
We have some interesting computer programs that might help you, your board, council or
commission in making financial decisions. Attached are short descriptions to which we invite
your attention and enquiries. We'll be getting out a catalog with more detail but, in the
meantime, you might find a good use for them.

Re:
In the Matter of the Recommendation by
the Director to Certify Proposed Solid
Waste Disposal Sites in Hennepin County
as Intrinsically Suitable -- Site M --
City of Minnetrista
Dear Ms. Rhea:
This office represents the City of Minnetrista. Set
forth in this letter is a summary of the reasons why Site M in
the City of Minnetrista is not intrinsically suitable for a
solid waste disposal site. Also enclosed for your review are
the detailed analysis of the intrinsic suitability factors for
Site M by Donahue and Associates, Inc. (Donahue) _anOther,
Ringrose, Wolsfeld, Inc. (BRW) (Exhibit A) and a e~~ ~----~t~n
the imj2Q~--ta~c~e of Site M for agriculture purposes ~x~'O--h~it B),
and ~r~f the location of the floodplain of a stream within
300 fe~ Site M (Exhibit C) by Tom Link, the City's Planner,
and a copy of a resolution adopted by the neighboring City of
Orono in opposition to the selection of Site M (Exhibit D).
As you may recall, at the hearings on September 23,
1981, Mark Norgaard of Donahue and Don Hunt of BRW summarized
the reasons why Site M is not intrinsically suitable. They
indicated that the detailed analysis would be filed with you
which is embodied in Exhibit A. At the hearings Mayor Gen
Olson testified as to the importance of Site M for agriculture
purposes. Tom Link, the City Planner, has set forth a more
detailed analysis of that argument in Exhibit B.
POPHAM, HAIK. SCHNOBRICH. KAUFMAN & DOTY, LTD.
Ms. Phyllis Rhea
October 2, 1981
Page Two
I respectfully ask you to be sure to read Exhibits A
and B in their entirety. We did not present all of the infor-
mation contained therein at the hearing in order to limit the
length of the hearing, especially since the review of Site M
did not start until 1.0:30 p.m. that evening.
I. Site M is not intrinsically suitable because the ground
water is not protected by an acquiclude and the municipal
drinking water supply would be adversely impacted.
Step 12 in the Flowchart asks "Is ground water protected
by an aquiclude?" Assuming arguendo that an aquiclude is correctly
defined by MPCA staff as "a layer of relatively ~m~permeable
material that is capable of absorbing water slow~ but functions
as an upper or lower boundary of an aquifer and does not transmit
gound water rapidly enough to supply a well or spring" (See
Attachment 3), Site M fails to meet that test.
At the hearings, Bruce Nelson, MPCA hydrologist,
testified that the aquiclude must be naturally present at a
site in order to be intrinsicallY suitable.
The information previously submitted by Hennepin County
to the MPCA upon which the Director relied in making the
preliminary recommendation, did not include the unrebuttable
proof submitted by Donahue at the hearing and found in greater
detail on pages 5, 6, 7, 11-18 of Exhibit A which shows that
there is no aquiclude protecting the ground water and most
importantly there is no acquiclude protecting the Jordan
and Franconia Sandstone ~cquifers which supply the drinking
water through municipal wells to the City of Minnetrista and the
City of St. Bonifacius, immediately adjacent to Site M, and to
many other cities in the Twin City area.
On information and belief, the lack o~ such an aquiclude
resulted in the MPCA director's decision thatV~wo sites in the
City of Maple Grove recommended by Hennepin County were not
intrinsically suitable. On information and belief, this lack of
an aquiclude is not present for any of the remaining sites.
As explained by Donahue, there is no acquiclude in this
area because the pre-glacial river channels were eroded down to
the Franconia Sandstone. This is new information which was not
available previously to the MPCA staff or Director.
POPHAM, HAIK, SCHNOBrlCH, KAUFmAN & DOTY, LTD.
Ms. Phyllis Rhea
October 2, 1981
Page Three
Therefore, Site M does not comply with flowchart Steps
12 and 10 since the drinking water supply for several cities will
be adversely impacted.
II.
A/though Site M may technically satisfy other steps in
the Flowchart, the overall failure of Site M to satisfy the steps
the intrinsi.c ~uit-
with any degree of margin for error, results in
ability of Site M.
The document titled "Intrinsic Suitability Flowchart for
Solid Waste Disposal Facililties" states on page 2:
"As illustrated by the diagram, the intrinsic
suitability of any site is dependent upon a
number of complex variables and as such does
not represent an absolute condition. Rather, it
is more like a continuum ranging from barely
suitable on one end to eminently suitable on the
other. W~ere a site lies on this continuum
depends upon natural conditions plus the number
and extent of resolutions required to qualify
for certification. A site with natural
attributes to move directly through the diagram
would be much more suitable than one which
required a number of resolutions. Sites whiCh
have natural conditions requiring unique or
unconventional engineering would be considered
intrinsically unsuitable."
The clear intent of this process is to exclude any site
from further eligibility which barely meets several of the
criteria based on natural conditions occurring at the site or
which requires unique or unconventional engineering.
For the reasons set forth hereinafter, Site M fails
this test.
A. Assuming arguendo that Site M may technically meet
the criteria related to wetlands, streams, lakes and watercourses,
it clearly does not meet the spirit and intent of those criteria.
In the past 10 years, pursuant to MPCA mandate, all of
the municipal sewage treatment plants (except one) which discharged
into Lake Minnetonka have been eliminated at great expense to
the general taxpayer. The objective was to ensure that eventually

Lake Minnetonka would achieve an acceptable level of water quality
since it is a prime recreational asset in the Twin City area and
directly affects the ground water supplies of the area.
Nearly all of the natural surface water runoff from
Site M is to Lake Minnetonka and the Minnehaha Creek watershed.
(Exhibit A, pages 4, 5, 18, 19, 20)
Although Site M is not less than 1000 feet from a lake,
pond or flowage, it is adjacent to Whaletail Lake, a proposed
regional park, and is upstream from and an integral part of the
watershed tributary to ~ake Minnetonka.
Although Site M is less than 300 feet from a stream, the
runoff from Site M will quickly be discharged into Six Mile Creek
and Lake Minnetonka.
Site M is within 300 of a stream as it has been defined
by the Department of Natural Resources and applied by MPCA in
adopting Minn. Rule SW-6.
In the Report on the Director's Proposed Recommendations,
the MPCA has stated that the source of MPCA staff's interpretation
of the term "stream" is the Shoreland Management Act, Minn.
Stat. §§105.485 et seq. (1980) and the rules promulgated by the
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) thereunder. (Page 4 of the
Report)
Minnesota Statute §105.485, Subd. 2(a)(1980) provides
in part:
"(2) land within 300 feet of a river or stream or
the landward side of a flood plain delineated by
ordinance on such a r~iver or stream, whichever
is greater." (See p.' 5 of Report and p. 2 of
letter of August 18, 1981, to Allan Klein from
Barbara Simms on file with the hearing examiner's
office.)
Within 300 feet of Site M, there is the landward side
of a flood plain delineated by ordinance No. 41 of the City of
Minnetrista which was adopted in 1971. The above statutory
language and its application by the DNR clearly intends that
any portion of a flood plain of a river as designated by the
POPHAM, HAIK, SCFINOBIqlCH, KAUFMAN & DoTY, LTD.
Ms. Phyll_is Rhea

ordinance of a city is equivalent to a strea~~termination
of the 300 foot setback rule. The attach~report_3~f the City
Planner (Exhibit C) shows that the design~t~c~~d plain of
Six Mile Creek is within the 300 foot setback as defined by
City ordinance No. 41, a copy of which is found as .Appendex E
of Exhibit A.
Therefore, Site M violates step 2 of the flow chart and
is not intrinsically suitable.
The 100 year floodplain does not include Site M, but it
is immediately adjacent to the 100 year floodplain of Whaletail
Lake.
The proposed active fill area of Site M is not within
a classified wetland, but.it is clearly within a wetlands transition
zone which has been altered from its natural wetland state because
of the 15,000 - 20,000 feet of drain tile draining Site M. The
conclusion that Site M is a former wetland and would revert to one
without the drain tile is further supported by the fact that
there are near surface water tables, the 23 acre wetlands on
site, and adjacent wetlands off site. (Exhibit A, pages 4, 5,
18, 19, 20)
The above factors are an integral part of the analysis
of intrinsic suitability, since a failure to meet any of them
automatically leads to "stop" on the flowchart and results in
the intrinsic unsuitability of Site M. Although arguably Site M
may technically comply with steps 1-6 of the flowchart, it
barely does so as to 5 of the 6 steps, and on a continuum and
overall, Site M has such troublesome topography, geology,
hydrology and soils as discussed in more detail in Exhibit A,
~Site M is not intrinsically suitable.
B. Although other concerns arguably may be solved by
site modifications, the modifications would require unique or
unconventional engineering or governmental actions.
1. Not only is Site M less than 1000 feet from ~
highway or occupied dwelling, six homes are within Site M, five
of which would be 1000 feet of the active fill area; an additional
three homes along Highway 92 would also be within 1000 feet of
the proposed active area. (Exhibit A, p 4) Therefore, at least
six homes would have to be acquired.
POPHAM, HAIK, SCHNOBRICH, KAUFMAN & DOTY, LTD.
Ms. Phyllis Rhea
October 2~ 1981
Page Six
Moreover, as discussed infra, many more homes in
the City of St. Bonifacius would be adversely affected by the
haul trucks which would violate MPCA noise standards.
2. The wetlands on and adjacent to the site would be
impacted during development because of the need to install runoff
control dams. Most importantly, the runoff will adversely impact
the quality of water in Lake Minnetonka and Minnehaha Creek which
it supplies.
In order to bypass the densely residentially
developed area in the City of St. Bonifacius along the existing
haul route, an expensive new road would have to be built on the
east side of that City which would cross over Six Mile Creek and
through major wetlands in that area. (Exhibit A, p. 18, 19, 20)
3. Because of the poorly drained soils on Site M,
15,000 to 20,000 feet of field tile currently drain Site M and
would be disrupted by the landfill operations. Such disruption
would create significant drainage problems. (Exhibit A, p. 5)
The increase in surface water runoff from Site M
would exacerbate the present flooding problems in the urban areas
of the City of St. Bonifacius. (Exhibit A, p. 5)
4. As discussed in section I. above, there is no
aquiclude to protect the Jordan and Franconia Sandstone
acquifers which supply municipal water to many cities.
Moreover, the lack of an aquiclude and the porous
soils in the area will result in possible pollution of the ground
water supply which is capable of being withdrawn at a sustained
yield of greater than one gallon per minute (Exhibit A, pages 5, 6)
and which supplies at least 23 wells within 1/2 mile, and 45 wells
within one mile.
5. Because of the unique nature of the subsoils and
lack of an aquiclude, it is submitted that the amount of
engineering and groundwater monitoring would be unique,
unconventional and extraordinary, especially in comparison to
the other sites.
III. Site M is not intrinsically suitable because the landfill
operation on Site M will result in violation of other state
standards.
POPHAM. HAIK, SCHNOBRICH, KAUFMAN & DOTY, LTD.
Ms. Phyllis Rhea

A. The noise generated by the trucks hauling refuse to
Site M will violate MPCA noise standards within the adjacent City
of St. Bonifaci~us.
"Certification is an indication that the site will likely
.be able to weather the more intensive scrutiny of subsequent
hearings and evaluations." (Intrinsic Suitability Flowchart for
Solid Waste Disposal Facilities, p. 3) Because the MPCA cannot
and should not issue a permit for the operation of a landfill site
which will result in a violation of its own noise standards,
Site M is not intrinsically suitable.
This conclusion is not based upon the generalized
statements of individuals who are opposed to the presence of a
landfill because additional trunk traffic in an area will create
additional unwanted noise. BRW has completed a thorough analysis
of the projected truck traffic noise levels and has concluded
that under any of three different projected truck traffic levels,
MPCA noise standards (NPC-2) will be violated. (Exhibit A,
Transportation Evaluation p. 1-15).
This is the case because of the unique topography of
the haul road through the City of St. Bonifacius with its steep
grades which cause the otherwise unexpected excessive generation
of noise by truck traffic.
BRW's analysis is thorough and unrebuttable. This is
new information which was not available previously to the MPCA
staff or Director.
BRW has reported that a possible solution to the violation
of state noise standards would be the construction of an eastern
bypass road over Six Mile Creek, through wetlands and prime
agriculture land. Obviously, such a solution involves unique
and unconventional engineering.
Moreover, the construction of a county roa.~-~a
City necessitates prior city approval pursuant to Min~a
Statutes. Given the City's long history of preservation of
wetlands, approval should not be anticipated.
Any destruction of wetlands and crossing of a stream
may also be in violation of the Minnesota Environmental Rights
Act, M.S. 116 B.01 et seq; Freeborn County by Tuveson v.
Bryson, 297 Minn. 218, 210 N.W.2d 290 (1973).

B. Historic and archeological sites which should be
protected are located adjacent to and perhaps within Site M.
Hennepin County did not report the presence of any
historic or archeological sites within or adjacent to Site M.
At the request of the City of Minnetrista, the Minnesota
Historical Society has reviewed the area and has indicated the
presence of several prehistoric burial mounds adjacent to and
possibly within Site M. Moreover, because of the presence of
low lying areas on Site M that could have been lakes or wetlands
with habitable shorelines in prehistoric times, there is a high
probability that additional historic or archeological sites
could exist within Site M. (See Exhibit A, Appendix F, letters
of August 26, 1981 and September 9, 1981, to Donohue from the
Minnesota Historical Society.)
It is the clear intent of the state legislature to
protect and preserve such areas. See for example, Minnesota
Statutes §138.01 et seq.
Moreover, an action to,preserve such historical
resources may be brought under the Environmental Rights Act,
Minnesota Statutes §l16B.01 et seq; State by Powderly v.
Erickson, 285 N.W.2d 84 (1979).
IV.
Site M is not intrinsically suitable because it violates
SW6(1)(g) and is prime agricultural land.
SW6(1)(g) prohibits a sanitary landfill in "an area
which is unsuitable because of reasons of topography, geology,
hydrology or soils."
MPCA staff has narrowly interpreted this requirement
to include only those factors set forth in the flowchart as
steps 7-13. MPCA staff has concluded that problems related to
SW6(1)(g) may be solved by non-unique and conventional
engineering. (Intrinsic Suitability Flowchart for Solid Waste
Disposal Facilities, p. 1,2) There is no authority for such
a narrow interpretation.
As discussed supra, it is clear that even if Site M
meets the technical criteria, it barely does so and the overall
topography, geology, hydrology or soils are not adequate to
support a finding of intrinsic suitability.

Ms. Phyllis Rhea
October 2~ 1981

MPCA staff will argue of course that all of these
concerns can be met by engineering that is not unique or
unconventional. However, all of MPCA staff's conclusions are
based on the limited information previously submitted by
Hennepin County. The detailed analysis by Donahue and BRW shows
that the MPCA's prior finding based on limited facts then
available is no longer valid.
The landfill siting process contemplates that a landfill
when completed can be restored to its original use and that
agricultural land be avoided.
Testimony at the hearing by Mayor Olson and Exhibit B
shows that Site M is prime agricultural land. Moreover, testimony
at the hearings by others and reports submitted by soil scientists,
which are hereby adopted by reference, prove that farm crops can-
not grow on a landfill site because of the shallowness of the
soil, the lack of ground water retention, etc. Moreover, the
Agricultural Preserves Act clearly indicates the legislature's
position that agricultural soils should be preserved and used
for agriculture. Clearly then, the reference to soils in
SW6(1)(g) included the preservation of such soils for agriculture,
not landfills.
V. Conclusion.
Site M is not intrinsically suitable for the reasons
outlined herein and discussed in more detail in Exhibits A, B,
C and D. Those reasons are:
1. The groundwater and municipal drinking supply are
not protected by an aquiclude.
2. Site M is too close to streams, wetlands and lakes.
e
Site M is within 300 feet of the flood plain of a
stream.
4. Site M would adversely affect Lake Minnetonka,
its watershed and Minnehaha Creek.
5. Too many homes would have to be condemned.
6. Too many private wells would be adversely affected.

7. The noise generated would violate MPCA standards.
8. There are historic or archeological sites on or
adjacent to Site M.
9. Agricultural land would be destroyed.
10. It is not possible to solve the above problems by
non-unique and conventional engineering.
11. Although Site M arguable may technically satisfy
one or more of the steps in the flowchart, when viewed as a
whole on a continuum, Site M fails.
An analysis of the detailed evidence submitted by the
City of Minnetrista shows that Site M is different from the other
sites in many ways and that there is overwhelming evidence by
independent professional engineers and traffic planners why
Site M is not intrinsically suitable.
This evidence was not available at the time of MPCA
staff's and the Director's preliminary recommendation. This
evidence justifies a new recommendation by the MPCA staff and
Director that Site M is not intrinsically suitable or in the
absence thereof, such a finding by the independent'hearing examiner.
Very truly yours,

CHAPTER 1
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The Waste Management Act of 1980 directs the Metropolitan Council to inven-
tory eligible solid waste land disposal sites in the seven county Metropolitan
area. The inventory will include the sites proposed by each of the seven
Metropolitan Counties, which must adopt an inventory of four candidate sites.
Hennepin County and its consultant have identified 13 potential sites,
including a 300-acre site in the City of Minnetrista. Reducing the number of
sites from 13 potential sites down to the mandatory four sites for the inven-
tory is a lengthy and complex process. The City of Minnetrista is currently
faced with the first of many steps or possibly the first and only step in this
process, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) site certification of
intrinsic suitability. No site in the Metropolitan Counties can be included in
the Metropolitan Council's inventory of sites unless the MPCA certifies the
site as intrinsically suitable.
The proposed landfill site is in Sections 20 and 29, Township 117 North,
Range 24 West, Town of Minnetrista, Hennepin County, Minnesota. Hennepin
County refers to this particular site as Site M. The site is bounded on the
north by Hyland Road East, on the east by Hyland Road North, on the south
by County Road 110, and on the west by County Road 92. Figure 1 shows
the location of the proposed landfill site.
This study is an independent environmental evaluation of the potential effects
of developing and operating a landfill at the proposed site in Minnetrista.
This environmental evaluation focuses on those criteria most directly related
to the site's intrinsic suitability, as defined in the ~luly 13, 1981, State
Register. According to this document, these intrinsic suitability criteria are
those which relate to "the inherent and natural attributes, physical features,
and location of the site." This evaluation also addresses relevant social,
economic, aesthetic, and land use factors which may be of value to the City
of Minnetrista in future site evaluations.

CHAPTER 2
ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS
The environmental concerns presented in this section of the report have been
developed to address the 13 intrinsic suitability criteria identified by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's, May 23, 1981, memorandum entitled,
"Intrinsic Suitability Flow Chart for Solid Waste Disposal Facilities." A copy
of this memorandum is included in Appendix B. Supporting data and dis-
cussion are presented in subsequent chapters of this report. Additionally,
those aspects of the evaluation which may be indirectly related to the
intrinsic suitability determination are also included for consideration.
INTRINSIC SUITABILITY EVALUATION
1. Less than 1,000 feet from a lake, pond or flowage?
The City of Minnetrista agrees that the proposed site meets this criteria;
however, the site is within one-fourth mile of Whaletail Lake and one and
one-half miles of Lake Minnetonka.
2. Less than 300 feet from a permanent surface water stream?
The City of Minnetrista agrees that the proposed site meets this criteria;
however, the site is within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and
less than one mile from Six Mile Creek.
3. Within a 100 year flood plain?
The City of Minnetrista agrees the site meets this criteria.
4. Within a wetland?
The City of Minnetrista agrees that the proposed active fill area of the
proposed site as shown in Figure 2.31 of the 1981 Hennepin County
Landfill Site Selection Study is not within a wetland. However, the City
is concerned with the potential impact on the 23 acre wetland on the
proposed site because of its apparent relationship to the surrounding
wetland transition zone. The transition zone would be part of the active
fill area.
The level topography found in significant portions of the proposed site
and the fact that nearly all of the tillable acreage on the site is drained
by field tile suggest that most of the site is in a wetland transition
zone. In some states, though not in Minnesota, the wetland transition
zones are protected by regulation because of the hydrologic interrela-
tionships between the land surface wetland and the subsurface wetland
transition zone. The City of Minnetrista believes that evaluation of
wetlands for the intrinsic suitability determination cannot be made solely
on the basis of physical orientation to a wetland. This evaluation must
also include the wetland's relationship to the surrounding area. As
much as one-half of this site (based on site topography) could be
considered a wetland transition zone with probable connection to the
on-site 23 acre wetland and to the local, shallow, groundwater table
system.
5. Would the site present a bird hazard to airports?
The City of Minnetrista agrees that the proposed site would not present
bird hazards to airports.
6. Is there karst development on the site?
The City of lVlinnetrista agrees that the site meets this criteria.
?. Less than 1,000 feet from a park, highway, or occupied dwelling?
Six residences are within the boundaries of the proposed site. Five
would be within 1,000 feet of active fill area of the landfill. An addi-
tional three residences along Highway 92 on the western boundary of the
site would also be within 1,000 feet of the proposed active area.
8. Wetlands or public waters would be impacted during development?
Although surface water runoff can be a fairly routine and quantifiable
landfill design parameter, there are several specific concerns related to
the proposed site. Perhaps the most important is the fact that Lake
Minnetonka is the primary water body receiving surface water runoff
from the proposed site. Both the state and local governments have
expended considerable' effort in evaluating, and preserving the water
quality .of Lake Minnetonka. Therefore, the importance of evaluating the
nutrient, sediment, and hydrologic contribution caused by a watershed
alteration such as a landfill operation cannot be overemphasized.
Typically, landfill designs include development of some type of surface
water drainage control features to minimize site development and opera-
tional problems and to reduce the generation of landfill leachate. Com-
pacting of cover material, sloping, ditch construction, and covering with
vegetation are several typical techniques. These site modifications will
increase the volume of surface water runoff from the site. The per-
centage of surface water runoff is expected to increase to 60 or
70 percent of the precipitation during construction and operation of a
landfill as opposed to the existing runoff of about 40 percent. While a
more detailed hydrologic study of the proposed site would be required to
determine surface water runoff generation, it is estimated that runoff
from an operational landfill for any rainfall event would increase by
75 percent.
The hydrologic, nutrient, and sediment characteristics of the landfill
runoff actually reaching Lake Minnetonka can vary, depending upon the
operational procedures of the landfill and the amount of treatment
provided in upstream wetlands or retention basins. The impact of the
proposed landfill on water quality in Lake Minnetonka would require a
detailed hydrologic and nutrient budget analysis.
4
Approximately 150 acres of wetland, including the 23 acre wetland on the
proposed site, could be impacted by development of the proposed land-
fill. The extent of these impacts would depend upon specific site design
and drainage plans; however, some of the wetlands would apparently be
impacted by watershed alterations required to manage or retain increased
surface water runoff. These alterations may include measures such as
ditching, widening of existing watercourses and retaining surface water
runoff in wetlands by inst~lling flow control dams. Any of these
measures would be inconsistent with the City of Minnetrista's wetland
ordinance which expressly prohibits development in wetlands. According
to this ordinance, any development that affects a wetland is prohibited
unless a variance is issued by the City.
Are there erosion, drainage or other natural processes occurring in the
area that could lead to problems at the site or site failure?
Because of the poorly drained soils, 15,000 to 20,000 feet of field tile
currently drain nearly all of the tillable land on the proposed landfill
site. Disruption of this drainage tile system resulting from the develop-
ment and operation of the landfill could create significant problems with
drainage.
The 12 inch culvert which drains excess surface water and groundwater
from the site under County Highway 92 has been reported to be ob-
structed. 'A considerable volume of standing water near the point of site
discharge indicates the inability of the existing tiles to carry current
site runoff.
Recurrent flooding problems occur in the urban areas of St. Bonifacius
adjoining the intermittent drainage ditch which carries runoff from the
site. Increased volumes of runoff generated at an operational landfill
site would likely aggravate this flooding problem.
10. Would drinking water supply reservoir be impacted?
The City of Minnetrista maintains through its site evaluation that the
proposed site could have an adverse impact on the groundwater supply
reservoirs of the area. Four primary groundwater supply reservoirs, or
aquifers, are extensively used as potable water supplies. Water users
both on-site and in the local area have wells which penetrate the glacial
drift aquifer and the Jordan, the Franconia, and the Hinckley sandstone
aquifers.
11. If present, is groundwater:
Co
A water supply?
Capable of being withdrawn at a sustained yield of one gallon per
minute?
Recharging to another aquifer?
The City of Minnetrista has thoroughly investigated the groundwater
hydrology of the proposed site and in local areas and expresses the
following concerns relating to water supply and water use in the area:
5
Within a one-half mile corridor of the proposed site, approximately
23 active private water wells are used as potable water supplies.
Within a one mile corridor of the site, more than 45 wells serve as
potable water supplies. These wells vary in depth; however, each
of these wells penetrates one of the aforementioned aquifers.
A number of private water supply wells in the area pump a sus-
tained yield in excess of one gallon per minute and can be verified
on available well log records. It can be demonstrated that ground-
water users in the area ut~l{~.e the glacial drift aquifer and the
sandstone aquifers for their water supply.
To document this point, well log information for the area was
collected and reviewed. Based on this evaluation, the following
information is presented for consideration:
Well No. 4, as shown in Figure 5, is within the site boundaries and
was installed at a depth of 175 to 180 feet below the land surface.
The well point was installed in a sand layer within the glacial drift
aquifer. This particular well was installed in 1976 and is still in
use as a private water supply. At the time of drfllir~g, the
pumping capacity was 15 gallons per minute.
In addition, a private water supply well located on-site is currently
being used by Mr. Lawrence Weiland as a potable water supply for
household and farm uses. It is approximately 35 feet in depth and
is installed in the glacial drift aquifer. This well provides sub-
stantially more than one gallon per minute. However, the exact
quantity is not known.
In summary, the City of Minnetrista emphasizes that the glacial
drift aquifer is used extensively for potable water supply. Addi-
tional site surveys of wells in the area would identify numerous
water uses of this glacial drift aquifer. At this time, documenting
the utfli~.ation of the ~lordan or the Hinctdey sandstone aquifers is
unnecessary. Many well records are available to document their
usage.
The review of well log records indicates that the glacial drift under-
lying the site is not homogenous in nature. The subsoil profile
contains numerous horizontal layers which contain coarse textured
sands and gravel. Water well records indicate that they are
suitable for providing in excess of one gallon per minute pumping
capacity. The concern is that contamination of the glacial drift
aquifer would have a significant impact on existing water use in the
local area. Furthermore, these permeable zones and layers could
function as conduits for the rapid lateral and possibly vertical
migration of contaminated water.
12. Is groundwater protected by an aquiclude?
The hydrogeologic character of the local site area is complex and vari-
able. Available geologic literature for the area indicates that the site is
underlain by a pre-glacial river valley. A review of well log information
6
and documentation indicates that this is a unique geologic feature. This
pre-glacial river valley eroded through the once underlying sedimentary
deposits. In addition, their hydraulic character is listed for reference.
These underlying sedimentary deposits are as follows:
Eroded Ordovician Period deposits:
2.
3.
4.
Decorah shale - confining bed.
Platteville limestone - confining bed.
St. Peter sandstone - aquifer.
Shakopee - Oneota dolomite - confining bed.
Eroded Cambrian Period deposits'
· lordan sandstone - aquifer.
St. Lawrence formation - confining bed.
Franconia sandstone ~ aquifer.
Dolomite, limestone, or shale layers are known to act as confining beds,
or aquicludes, between the various sandstone aquifers. In a normal
geologic setting, these aquicludes would function as natural hydraulic
barriers to vertical inter-aquifer flow of groundwater.
Underlying the proposed site and in the local area, pre-glacial river
valleys have eroded through both aquicludes and aquifers. This eroded
material has been replaced with varying textures of glacial drift. The
glacial drift aquifer and the St. Peter, Jordan, and the Franconia sand-
stone aquifers are probably all hydraulically connected. The problem is
that leachate emanating from the landfill site could migrate through the
glacial drift into either the Jordan or the Franconia sandstone aquifers
because no aquicludes exist to restrict vertical groundwater flow.
13. Can the groundwater be monitored by routine methods?
The groundwater system can be monitored by using routine methods.
However, since the hydrogeologic character of the site is complex and
variable, a detailed hydrogeologic study at the site would be necessary.
Groundwater observation wells would have to be installed to establish
groundwater flow patterns, aquifer conditions, and flow rates. In
addition, multi~piezometer testing locations would be required to define
the vertical groundwater hydraulics below the site.
The primary concern with the groundwater monitoring system is that it
be designed and installed in sufficient scope and detail to fully define
the subsurface hydrology of the site. All water~bearing lenses and
layers in the glacial drift aquifer would have to be identified and
monitored. In addition, an adequate number of observation wells and
piezometers will have to be installed in the Hinckley and Franconia
sandstone aquifers to define their hydraulic characteristics. Adequate
monitoring must be completed to guarantee that landfill activities would
not contaminate these aquifers.

ADDITIONAL CONCERNS
Land Use
The preservation of prime agricultural land is an important aspect of Minne-
trista's overall land use planning effort. Through its zoning ordinances and
planning policies, the City has taken significant action to assure that the
rural characteristics of Minnetrista are maintained as an integral part of the
community's overall living environment.
The proposed landfill site is in an area zoned for commercial agriculture. A
landfill on the proposed site would be inconsistent with Minnetrista's zoning
ordinances and could significantly impact Minnetrista's land use planning and
agricultural preservation policies because:
Proximity to a landfill can be a major factor in locating new commercial
and industrial facilities. A landfill at this site could put pressure on
the community to develop commercial and industrial land uses in areas
which are used for commercial agriculture and general rural use. Such
"leap frog" development is contrary to the City's and to the Metropolitan
Council's development plans.
o
A landfill on the proposed site may make it difficult to enroll existing
agricultural properties surrounding the proposed site into agricultural
preservation areas. Although this impact is not tangible or quantifiable,
the landfill may cause people to sell their agricultural properties because
they do not want to live next to a landfill, they have perceived a loss in
the value of their agricultural land, and industrial or commercial
developers will be applying pressure to obtain properties near a sanitary
landfill.
Economic Concerns
Minnetrista's economic development plans are consistent with its land use
plan. The intent of both is preserving the City's varied living environment
and basic rural character. Consequently, economic and industrial develop-
ment policies are .intended to encourage development of local goods and
service centers rather than regional industrial and commercial centers. This
economic development policy is consistent with the Metropolitan Council's
"rural center" designation of the St. Bonifacius area. The proposed landfill is
inconsistent with the City's industrial and commercial development plan
because it could create pressures to develop as a "free standing growth
center" as opposed to its current "rural center" status. A landfill would
require development of a large tract of land, and would generate little local
employment, which would be inconsistent with Minnetrista's planned economic
development.
A landfill may be financially burdensome to the community because of un-
planned development pressures. The City could be forced to extend certain
types of municipal services into areas not planned for development. This
development could place a financial burden on the City if developments
requiring muncipal sewer and water occurred in areas outside of the Municipal
Urban Services Area. For example, if wells in the vicinity of the landfill
became contaminated, a municipal water supply would be required to service
8
h
those residences affected. Additionally, the landfill could affect the City's
ability to provide adequate police and fire protection. The volunteer fire
department which currently serves the City of Minnetrista may not be able to
provide adequate protection for heavy industrial use such as a landfill. In
addition, the proposed landfill will generate increased surface runoff and
could force the City to invest in costly and unplanned stormwater management
facilities.
To assure that the City's environmental interests are maintained, Minnetrista
may need to develop an in-house engineering staff and laboratory to indepen-
dently monitor the landfill's performance and operation. This type of exper-
tise would be an additional financial burden to the City.
Historical and Archaeological
The Minnesota Historical Society has recommended that a detailed historical
and archaeological survey be completed on the proposed site because of known
presence of historical and archaeological features in the area. A prehistoric
burial mound is immediately adjacent to the proposed site, .and probability is
high that the site has additional historical and archeologi~al features. The
Minnesota Historical Society has indicated that the site's geographical relation-
ship to Whaletail Lake and Six Mile Creek and the numerous wetlands and low
lying areas could have been habitable shorelines in prehistoric times.
Aesthetic Concerns
In general, the City of Minnetrista is concerned that a landfill would signifi-
cantly alter the community's rural character. The operation of heavy con-
struction equipment and hauling trucks would create aesthetic impacts that
are not easily mitigated.
One of the specific concerns is the openness of the site and the difficulty
that would apparently be encountered in screening the site from public view.
According to a 1977 study entitled Sanitary Landfill Site Selection, prepared
by the Hennepin County Department of Environment and Energy, "the open-
ness of the site and the need for substantial screening, if the site could be
screened at all, eliminates the site from further consideration."
The operation of a landfill will generate fugitive dust and blowing debris.
Because the prevailing winds in this region are from the northwest, the area
southeast of the site would be the most severely impacted. Although opera-
tional procedures such as daily cover, fencing, watering exposed soils, and
prompt reseeding of completed slopes can minimize this problem, the City is
concerned with the potential impacts in the areas to the south and east of the
site.
The City of Minnetrista is also concerned that the proposed landfill site will
impact existing and planned recreational facilities in the area. Hyland Road,
the eastern boundary of the site, is the only access road to a maintained
public access on Whaletail Lake. Additionally, the planned development of a
trail system along County Highway 110 and the proposed regional park
planned for the south and east shores of Whaletail Lake could be impacted.
The development and operation of a landfill would generate noise because of
the operation of heavy construction equipment. Although the frequency,
duration, and intensity of the noise generated by the landfill are not likely to
exceed apphcable standards, they will be inconsistent with the surrounding
rural setting. A more critical issue addressed m a separate transportation
study prepared for the City of Minnetrista is refuse trucks hauling refuse to
the landfill site.
Plant and Animal Life
The City of Minnetrista recognizes that the regional impact of the proposed
site on plant and animal populations, as well as on rare or endangered
species, is limited. The City is concerned, however, that the local move-
ments of wildlife, particularly deer and migratory waterfowl, could be
severely impacted. Fences, roads, and the increased activity in the area of
the site would tend to affect both the aesthetic desirability and wildlife
habitat of the area. Additionally, the City is concerned that existing wildlife
populations would be replaced by nuisance species such as gulls, rats, mice,
and various insects.

CHAPTER 3
SUPPORTING DATA AND ENVIRONMENTAL INVENTORY
HYDROGEOLOGY
Bedrock Characteristics
Many geologic studies have focused on the bedrock characteristics of the Twin
Cities Metropolitan Area. Much data in the form of well logs and test holes is
available for review and documentation. One of the better known research
treatises of Metropolitan Area geology is Bulletin 27, entitled The Geology of
the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area, University of Minnesota Press,
1936, prepared by George M. Schwartz of the Minnesota Geological Survey
(MGS). Since this document's publication, subsequent research by the MGS
has verified Schwartz's evaluations.
The general geologic setting of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, particularly
in the City of Minnetrista, includes Paleozoic-Keweenawan bedrock series
overlain by more recent deposits of well-stratified sedimentary rock sequen-
ces. This particular sequence of sedimentary rocks occupies a shallow,
generally southward plunging, trough-like structure known as the Hollandale
Embayment. This Paleozoic-Keweenawan rock sequence consists of horizontal
beds of limestone, dolomite, sandstone, and shale. A typical tabular listing
of rock formations underlying the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, and a cross-
sectional diagram of this vertical sequence is in Figures 2 and 3, respec-
tively. One known anomaly in the structure of the Hollandale Embayment
occurs roughly in the area immediately underlying the seven county Metro-
politan area. Here, formational dips toward the center of' the Twin Cities
area are independent of general dip trends in the Hollandale Embayment.
In their order of development, the oldest rock formations underlying the
Metropolitan area include Precambrian igneous rocks, which are primarily
basalt and granite.
The next geologic developments following the Precambrian Era included the
Cambrian Period. During this period, the Jordan sandstone, St. Lawrence
formation (shale, dolomite, sandstone, green sands), the Franconia sandstone
and the Dresbach formation (gray shale with layers of sandstone) were
developed. Following the Cambrian Period was the Ordovician Period during
which rock development was characterized by sedimentary layers of shale,
dolomite, and sandstone. These Ordovician deposits included the Oneota
dolomite, New Richmond sandstone, Shakopee dolomite, St. Peter sandstone,
Glenwood beds, Plattville limestone, Decorah shale, and Galena dolomite. The
dolomite, limestone, and shale deposits serve as impervious barriers or aqui-
cludes between the various sandstone deposits.
The Ordovician Period was later followed by the Pliestocene Period. During
this period, the unconsohdated soil mass or glacial drift was deposited in the
area. Unconsolidated glacial drift deposits in the Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area were formed during successive advances and retreats of five glacial ice
masses.

Schwartz, George M., Bulletin 27,
The Geology of the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area, University of Minnesota,
Prior to and during the Pleistocene Period, much erosion occurred in the
Ordovician and Cambrian rock deposits. Deep erosional cuts in the bedrock
formed pre-glacial and glacial river valleys in the Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area. These old river valleys basically represent former river channels for
the Mississippi and St. Croix Rivers. Figure 4 shows their known locations.
During the Glacial Age, these river channels constantly changed location as a
result of increasing and decreasing surface water flow. As hydrologic con-
ditions permitted, these deep river channels were eventually backfilled with
glacial drift. Since the last period of glaciation, the Mississippi and
St. Croix Rivers have assumed their present locations.
The existence and location of these pre-glacial and glacial river valleys have
been a point of research since the turn of the century. As illustrated in
Figure 4, one of the deepest pre-glacial river valleys of the Mississippi is
known to exist immediately below the Village of St. Bonffacius, extending in a
north-south direction. As shown on Figure 4 enlargement, it has been
estimated that river valley lies immediately below the proposed landfill site.
The existence and location of the river valley has been documented by
numerous well-drilling records. The base of this particular valley is at
approximately elevation 480 (MSL). At this particular location, the valley was
backfilled with approximately 500 feet of glacial drift material, and the pre-
glacial river channel eroded down to the Franconia sandstone.
Surficial and Subsurface Soil Conditions
Surficial soil materials at the site are classified by the Soil Conservation
Services (SCS) as members of the Lester-Peaty Muck soil association. These
soils are typically composed of medium-textured and moderately fine-textured
soils that developed in glacial till and level organic soils. This particular soil
association is composed of several individual soil series which are indicatively
of clay loam or silty clay loam texture. Surficial soil information is generally
limited to the upper 60 inches of the soil profile.
Subsurface soil conditions of the area can be interpreted by reviewing
existing geologic literature of the area, private water supply well log infor-
mation, and the three on-site soil borings conducted to primarily define
subsoil conditions. Generally, subsoils possess characteristics indicative of
glacial till deposits. Glacial till is unstratified glacial drift deposited directly
by glacial ice and consists of hetrogeneous mixtures of clay, silt, sand,
gravel, and boulders.
Private water supply well logs for the area indicate that the unconsolidated
glacial deposits vary in thickness within the local area. Available private
water supply well logs are attached in Appendix C. Till thicknesses along a
west-east axis vary from 200 feet to 300 feet, respectively. Along the north
to central to south axis, till thickness varies from 200 feet to 400 feet,
respectively. Subsoil boring classifications indicate that the till deposit
illustrates some degree of stratagraphic variability. Soil textures vary from
silty clay or clay to sandy clay and sand. Boring data indicates that hori-
zontal sand and gravel layers exist at various depths throughout the subsoil
profile. This type of subsoil stratification is commonly associated with gla-
ciated areas. Successive advances and retreats of glacial ice masses resulted
15
Il
LI.J
!
/
!
/
in the deposition of some of these distinctive homogeneous subsoil layers. A
location map identifying these well locations is in Figure 5. In addition, soil
logs for each of the three soil borings are in Appendix D.
The on-site soil boring information substantiates the data available from the
private water supply well logs. All three soil borings were advanced to a
depth of 50 feet. Generally, the soil logs indicate that on-site subsoils are of
glacial till origin. In addition, stratification of the subsoils is evident below
the site. Detailed testing indicates that soil textures are predominantly sandy
clay intermixed with some gravel. Subsoil sampling methods indicate that the
glacial till is moderately to densely compacted. No laboratory gradations or
permeability tests were performed on the subsoil samples collected on-site.
The estimated coefficient of permeability suggested by the County's soil
engineer using laboratory methods, would apparently range from 10.8 to
10-~ centimeters per second. Anticipated permeabilities of the more porous
sand and gravel layers would be approximately 10-2 centimeters per second.
Groundwater and Water Use in the Area
The hydrologic character of any given area is determined by the complex
interaction of surface water (i.e., wetlands, rivers, streams) and ground-
water. Since groundwater supplies are recharged by surface water infil-
tration, changes in surface water hydrology can impact the groundwater
system. In contrast, alteration of the groundwater system can impact the
character of the surface water resources both quantitatively and qualitatively.
This hydrologic system remains in a dynamic state of recharge and discharge.
Furthermore, a change in one member will ultimately change the other.
The hydrologic characteristics of the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area are very
complex. Numerous surface water bodies serve as recharge and discharge
areas for underlying groundwater aquifers or water-bearing formations.
Groundwater aquifers in the Twin Cities Metropohtan Area are very important
since they serve as primary water supplies for private, municipal, and indus-
trial water users.
/
/Many groundwater aquifers underlie the seven-county Metropolitan area.~
/Those aquifers having the greatest importance are the St. Peter, Jordan, \
/Franconia sandstones, the Dresbach formation and the Hinckley sandstone. /
/Since these geologic formations are very porous and expansive, they provide I
lhigh yields of good quality water. The most extensively used aquifer is the /
[Jordan Franconia sandstone, the Dresbach formation, and/
sandstone
with
the
,w the Hinckley sandstone following in relative degree of usage. /
/The aquifers within the glacial drift serve as primary supplies for many~
/shallow private water supply wells. However, water yields from these aqui-I
~fers are variable, and water quality is immediately susceptible to contamina-/
,~ ~n by land surface activities.
//'~uring earlier land use development, most private water supply wells tapped ~
/ the glacial drift and the St. Peter and Jordan sandstone aquifers. These
..~[ aquifers vary in depth below the landscape and provided good water supplies.

and Franconia sandstone aquifers be preserved as prime aquifers for present
and future potable water supphes, w---
In the vicinity of the proposed site, many private, municipal, and industrial
water supply wells penetrate the glacial drift and the Jordan and Franconia
sandstone aquifers. Close to the site, 23 private water supply wells pene-
trate the glacial drift aquifer and the St. Peter or Jordan sandstone aquifers
for potable water. Within a mile of the site are 45 identifiable private water
supply wells plus many more in the Village of St. Bonifacius which are not
specifically located at this time. The location of private water supply wells in
the area are identified in Figure 5.
The hydrogeologic character of the proposed site is very complex since areas
near the land surface serve as recharge zones for the Jordan sandstone
aquifer. This recharge area surfaces northwest of Lake Minnetonka. In
addition, the buried pre-glacial and glacial river valleys have dissected the
Ordovician and portions of the Cambrian sedimentary rock layers. In these
river valley areas, groundwater recharge to the Jordan sandstone aquifer may
be directly through the glacial drift material.
Regional groundwater flow patterns of the area, at least in the glacial drift
aquifer, are to and from the many surface water bodies throughout the area.
Current estimates indicate localized groundwater flow through the glacial drift
is probably to the north to Whaletail Lake, and to some degree, toward
St. Bonifacius and Lake Minnetonka. However, groundwater movement deep
in the glacial drift material is probably heavily impacted by the pre-glacial
valleys in the area.
Surface Waters
Nearly all the natural surface water runoff from the proposed landfill site is
to Halstad's Bay of Lake Minnetonka and the Minnehaha Creek watershed.
Less than five percent of the extreme northwest portion of the site drains to
the north and west as a part of the Crow River watershed. The drainage
areas of the proposed landfill site are shown in Figure 6.
As shown in the drainage map, surface runoff in the southern portion of the
site is generally south and west, with the discharge through a 12 inch drain
beneath Hennepin County Road 92. From this point, flow is through a series
of road ditches, wetlands, and drainage courses, and discharge of this sub-
watershed is into Six Mile Creek. More than two thirds of the proposed site
(220 acres) is drained via this subwatershed. An additional 80 acres south of
County Highway 110 is also drained to Six Mile Creek. Nearly al/ of the
southern portion of the site is drained by six, eight, or ten inch tiles. On
the proposed site are approximately 15,000 to 20,000 feet of drainage tile.
This network of drain tiles empties into the low lying depression near the
point of discharge from the site where standing water is common most of the
year.
Surface runoff in the northern portion of the site is south and east to
Halstad's Bay. Again, flow from the proposed landfill site would pass
through a series of wetlands and watercourses and discharge into Halstad's
Bay. Flows from the northern drainage area of the proposed landfill site
leave the site through a culvert beneath Highland Road at the extreme north-
eastern corner of the site. Some of the 80 acre northern drainage area is
18
0 ~
Z 0
tiled, but most of this area is untillable because of lowlying areas and wet-
lands.
The amount of runoff generated from the proposed site can be estimated by
the rational formula (Chow, Handbook of Applied Hydrology, McGraw-Hill
Pubhshing Company, New York, NY, ]-964). According to the rational
formula:
Q
Q
= CIA
where
= Peak runoff flow in cubic feet per second
= Runoff coefficient
= Rainfall intensity in inches per hour
= Drainage area in acres
In order to apply the rational formula, the times of concentration (Tc) for the
drainage areas must be determined. The time of concentration is the time
required for water to travel from the most distant point in the watershed to
the discharge point or point of reference. In this case, Halstad's Bay is the
reference point for the northern drainage area and Six lVlile Creek for the
southern drainage area. Using equations 21-5, 14-5, and Figure 21-4, from
the Handbook of Applied Hydrology, the time of concentration (Tc) was
determined to be 1.2 and 3.0 hours for the northern and southern drainage
areas, respectively, as shown on Table 1.
Based on the time of concentration (Tc), the appropriate rainfall intensity (I
of the formula) is estimated using the one, two, and three hour storm
intensity data, obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, "Rainfall
Frequency Atlas of the' United States", Technical Paper No. 40, May, 1961.
Tables 2 and 3 show the rainfall intensity information used to estimate surface
runoff. Note that the 1.2 hour rainfall event has been interpolated from the
one and two hour storm events.
Based on the current agricultural land use, soil type, and topography of the
proposed landfill site, an existing runoff coefficient (C of the rational
formula) of 0.4 is assumed. This runoff coefficient assumption is based on
the information presented in Table 21-21 of the Handbook 'of Applied
Hydrology. The watershed areas (A of the rational formula) for the northern
and southern drainage areas are 80 acres and 296 acres, respectively.
The peak runoff rates from the proposed landfill site, using the rational
formula (Q = CIA), have been calculated and shown on Table 4. One set of
rates is based on a runoff coefficient of 0.40, representing current condi-
tions. The second set of runoff rates has been calculated by using a
C factor or runoff coefficient of 0.70, which is estimated to represent
conditions at the site if it were developed as a landfill.
Presently, the current peak runoff rates are retained in the low lying areas
of the site and discharged slowly downstream. Considerable ponding has
been observed during periods of significant rainfall, especially in the low
lying area of the southern drainage basin near the point of discharge, in part
due to the 12 inch culvert beneath County Road 92 being obstructed and
unable to carry its maximum flow.

RESOLUTIOt~ NO. SO-~i
RESOLUTION REGARDING HENNEPIN COUNTY SOLID
WASTE LANDFILL SITE SELECTIONS.
WHEREAS, the Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
Citizens Advisory Committee did select and rank potential
landfill sites in Hennepin County; and
WHEREAS, the 10th ranked site identified is within the
coporate limits of the City of Minnetrista; and
WHEREAS, the 10th ranked site is within the City of
Minnetrista's Commercial Agricultural zoned district.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of
the City of Minnetrista strongly opposes the selection of the
10th ranked site for potential development for the following
reasons:
1. The site is located within the City of Minnetrista's
Agricultural Preservation Zone District, which has been in
effect since September 4, 1979. Development of a landfill site
would have an adverse impact upon the City of Minnetrista's
long standing commitment to agricultural preservation and
totally ignore the following factors:
A. The City Council of the City of Minnetrista placed
a moratorium upon any further development of those
areas of Minnetrista net serviced by municipal sewer
in the summer of 1978 and directed the Planning Com-
mission to undertake a study of agricultural lands.
B. The Planning Commission, after a parcel by parcel
review, determined that agricultural preservation
policies were indeed necessary in portions of Minne-
trista to:
(1) preserve commercial agriculture as a viable and
permanent land use and activity;
{2) control untimely urban expansion;
(3) to avoid conflicting land uses;
(4) protect farming capital investments;
(5) maintain agricultural lands as the best and
most appropriate use of the land;
(6) maintain open space;
(7) preserve rural lifestyles;
(8) protect existing environmental quality;
(9) prevent premature and an undesired expansion
of municipal facilities and services;
Page ~
Resolution No. 56-81
Re: Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
C. The Planning Commission inventoried lot sizes,
ownership patterns, existing subdivisions, current
farming activities, suitable agricultural soils,
current land uses and sensitive environmental
features in order to establish a logical agri-
cultural preservation district.
D. After reviewing the inventory of applicable
data, a commercial agricultural area was clearly
delineated.
E. As an outgrowth of that delineation, a minimum
lot size of 40 acres was recommended by the Plann-
ing Commission to the City Council. The recommen-
dation included the placing of a restrictive ease-
ment over 38 acres of the total 40 to prohibit
any further residential development.
F. The City Council accepted the Planning Commission
recommendations and enacted the proposed ordinance
on September 4, 1979. This action was the culmination
of a long study process, reflecteh the desire of the
farming community in Minnetrista, and preceeded State
of Minnesota legislative action by seven months. The
~ity Council action was based u~on a commitment to
agricq, ltural preservation princ~p!es and not up0p
the less meaningfhl basis of a tax break provided
fo~'"in 'Chapter Nd. 566 of"Minnesota Statutes, adopted
~fter t~e City's ordinance.
2. The selection of the 10th ranked site flagrantly ig-
nores or disregards the criteria established by Hennepin
County for site selection as dated December 23, 1980, and
attached as follows'
A. "The disposal area and surrounding buffer shall
not be within one-fourth mile of environmentally
sensitive or unique wildlife areas."
The proposed 10 site, as bounded by Hennepin County
Highways 110 and 92 and Highland Avenue is not only
within one-fourth mile of the environmentally sensi-
tive area of Whale Tail Lake, it also totally
covers Wetlands No. 20-P as identified in wetlands
conservation areas, Hennepin Soil & Water Conser-
vation District, dated 1977, which comprises 23
acres of wetlands and a drainage area of 163 acres.
The proposed site is also within one-fourth mile
of Wetlands 20-2 and 20-3 as identified in the same
7!
Page 5
Resolution No.56-81
Re: Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
Hennepin County survey comprising 42.5 acres
with a drainage area of 390.5 acres.
Further, the Soil Development Guide prepared by
Hennepin County Conservation District for the City
of Minnetrista identifies Cordova, Hamel, Glencoe
and peat and marsh soils within the proposed site,
all of which are wet and environmentally sensitive
soils.
B."The actual disposal area, excluding buffer, shall
not include or be within wetlands (types 3, 4 or S)
(legal)."
The proposed 10th site includes Wetlands No. 20-1,
as identified above. This wetlands is type 3.
C. "The actual disposal area, excluding buffer, shall
not include or be less than 1,500 feet from the normal
high water level of a lake or pond."
Although Whale Tail Lake is just outside this 1,500
limit, the wetlands surrounding it, Wetlands No. 16-1,
as identified in Wetlands Conservation Areas, is with-
in 1,S00 of the proposed"~ite. The relationship
beteen Wetlands No. 16-1 and Whale Tail Lake, a type
S wetlands, is so interelated that a tampering of
· Wetlands 16-1 ~ have a direct correlation to the water
quality of Whale Tail Lake. The unique water
quality and environmental sensitivity of Whale Tail
Lake has been identified in the Metropolitan Council
208 Water Quality Plan.
D. "The disposal area and buffer area shall not be in
or adjacent to a park reseYve."
The proposed 10th site will be in the near proximity
of the regional park identified on Metropolitan
Council's Parks & Open Space Plan for the east end
of Whale Tail Lake. This will be a passive park and
interconnected with Carver Park Reserve and Morris
T. Baker Park Reserve. The proposed 10th site would
lessen the City of Minnetrista and Metropolitan
Council commitment to this park reserve development.
E. "The disposal area shall not be within a designated
agricultural preserve."
Page 4
Resolution No. 56-81
Re: Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
The Solid Waste Landfill Site Citizens Advisory
Committee and Hennepin County's Landfill Site
Counsultant have flagrantly disregarded this
criteria. As stated above, the area in which
the proposed 10th site is located has been zoned
for commercial agriculture since September 4, 1979.
In the event that there is any doubt as to the City
of Minnetrista's commitment to agricultural preser-
vation, made prior to the State of Minnesota's
commitment to agricultural preservation zoning,
that doubt is dispelled in the attached Resolution
No. 57-81 .
3. The site ignores the planning guidelines and statements
as developed by Metropolitan Council over the past several
years. In particular, the proposed 10th site is in complete
contradiction to Metropolitan Council Development Guide:
A. "The Metropolitan Area should consist of an Urban
Service Area and a Rural Service Area. Metropolitan
systems and urban services will be provided only with-
in the Urban Service Area. Rural service standards
will be met in the Rural Service Area, and persons
choosing a rural lifestyle should not expect to re-
ceive urban services."
The proposed site would lessen the ability of
persons choosing a rural lifestyle and necessitate
the construction of an urban transportation network
in a rural area.
B. "Land uses should be primarily determined by
natural characteristics of the land and the avail-
ability of urban services. Urban development
should not impair the functioning of vital natural
systems."
The proposed 10 site would severely damage the sen-
sitive natural systems surrounding the Whale Tail
Lake area, as outlined in Section 3.
C. "The Metropolitan Council shall use its author-
ity to promote a pattern of urbanization within the
Urban Service Area that allows the efficient, orderly,
and economic expansion of metropolitan systems for
future growth and avoids premature and scattered ur-
banization of rural.areas. Further development in
urbanized communities and in cluster communities
that are contiguous to the currently built-up area
shall be encouraged."
Page 5
Resolution No. 56-81
Re: Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
The proposed 10th site would create a premature
expansion of urban services in Minnetrista's rural
area and lessen the City of Minnetrista's effort,
via its zoning and Comprehensive Plan, to stop
scattered urban developments.
D. "The development pattern.should promote less re-
liance upon automobile transportation. The develop-
ment of multi-purpose diversified centers to serve
sub-'regional shopping and service needs should be
facilitated to reduce travel. A more balanced distri-
bution of employment concentrations in relation to
population should be encouraged to reduce the length
of work trips and increase the use of transit."
It appears to the City Council of the City of Minne-
trista, that there is an analogy in this policy that
the Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
Citizens Advisory Committee has ignored. That is,
sites should be selected in proximity to waste
generation to avoid extremely costly transportation
of waste from source point to landfill. From this
standpoint, the proposed 10th site is as inefficient
as any site identified.
E. "The Rural Service Area consists of commercial agri-
cultural regions, general rural use regions and rural
centers. Metropolitan sewer service and urban level
transportation service will not be provided to the
Rural Service Area. It is the Council's position
that the Rural Service Area should not accommodate
large amounts of development because enough land area
is available within the Urban Service Area to accom-
modate forecasted growth and development. The Council
will use the Metropolitan Development Framework Plan
map delineations of these policy areas until local
plans refine them."
The selection of the 10th proposed site totally ignores
this Development Framework Policy, for the above stated
reasons. Further, the development of the 10th proposed
site could totally negate this policy and the commit-
ment to Agricultural Preservation in Minnetrista by
necessitating additional urban services, which could
then be used for further, unwanted, development.
F. "Local units of government located at least partly
in the Metropolitan Rural Service Area should adopt
comprehensive plans and implementation programs ~hich are
consistent with regional policies and plans and
Page 6
Resolution No. 56-81
Re: Hennepin County Solid Landfill Site
which are consistent with regional policies and
plans and which achieve the purposes listed in
Policy 19. The Council will use its forecasts as
an indicator of consistency according to the
guidelines specified in the Appendix. Comprehen-
sive plans should determine if any lands within
the local government's jurisdiction are suitable
for agriculture on a long-term basis and give them
specific planning and zoning support. Those areas
where agriculture is determined not to be a suitable
long-term land use are considered general rural use
areas. General rural use lands should not be sub-
divided because they lack supporting metropolitan
and local facilities and services. Urbanization or
subdivision areas should be planned in a general rural
use area only in or at the periphery of a freestanding
growth center or rural center where urban services
are available or programmed."
Again, the development of the 10th proposed site
totally ignores a Development Framework Policy.
Further, it ignores the Comprehensive Planning
approach and zoning in the City of Minnetrista,
which is the result of segmenting parcels of land
into rational, compatible uses. The proposed 10th
site is neither rational or compatible within this
framework.
Per the guidelines established by Metropolitan Council
to evaluate polices 19 and 20, the development of
the proposed 10th site would achieve precisely the
opposite of that desired. The development of the
proposed 10th site would: 1) encourage other uses
than agriobusiness facilities, 2) would encourage
potential development of less than one unit per 40
acres, 3) potentially force the development of sewer
lines and water main in a long-term agricultural area,
4) encourage and perhaps even require the upgrading
of existing roads and constructuion of new roads which

Re: Hennepin County Solid Waste Landfill Site
7) exclude potential additional measures deemed rea-
sonable and sound to promote agriculture and conserve
existing agricultural land.
4. The site is located adj'acent to the City of St. Bonifacius.
It's development would have an adverse effect upon the City of
St. Bonifacius for the following reasons:
A. The transportation of waste material to the
proposed site would have a significant impact upon
the St. Bonifacius business district. A convenient
waste disposal truck route would be from State High-
way 7 to County Highway 92 through downtown St.
Bonifacius, detrimental to the built-up business
area both in volume and nature of the traffic it
generates.
B. To accommodate the increased traffic, County
Road 92 may have to be upgraded. Such upgrading
would create problems in the downtown St. Boni-
facius area.
C. The site is one'fourth mile from the residential
area of St. Bonifacius. Site development would be
detrimental to that residential property in the
.potential property value decrease and the desir-
ability of the residential development.
In summary, the City Council of the City of Minnetrista strongly
opposes the selection and development of the 10th ranked land-
fill site as identified by the Hennepin County Solid Waste Land-
fill Site Citizens Advisory Committee, and asked that the
Committee strike the 10th ranked site from its list, due to
its inconsistency with the City of Minnetrista's long standing
commitment to agricultural preservation, its contradiction to
the criteria established by the Hennepin County Solid Waste
Landfill Site Citizens Advisory Committee and incompatibility
and disregard for the Metropolitan Development Framework Guidelines.

4th day of M~y , 1981, by a vote of $ Ayes and 0
