Anoka County Recycling and Resource Solutions – Sue Doll, Solid Waste Specialist DATE : April 24, 2019 TIME STARTED : 6:33 P.M. TIME ENDED : 8:17 P.M. MEMBERS PRESENT : Steve Heiskary, Paula Andrzejewski, Liz Kaufenberg, Shawn Holmes, John Sullivan, Alex Schwartz MEMBERS ABSENT : Nancie Klebba STAFF PRESENT : Marty Asleson Enivornmental Board April 24, 2019 Page 2 DRAFT MINUTES Ms. Sue Doll, Solid Waste Specialist from Anoka County, presented a certificate to Mr. Asleson that stated “ The Anoka County Board of Commissioners acknowledges with great appreciation the commitment to recycling of Marty Asleson. Thank you for 29 years of improving waste reduction, recycling and composting programs for the residents of Lino Lakes and Anoka County working with the compost and recycling”. Under Mr. Asleson’s leadership the City of Lino Lakes started monthly recycling Saturdays and organics collecting. Ms. Doll discussion was about the benefits of recycling and what recycling items are worth in today’s market. You should remember that recycling is a commoditie, it goes up and down just like anything else on the market. Great River Recycling opened in August of 1989 and closed mid January 2019, it was where the area garbage was burned for energy at the Great River Energy at Elk River. Now that garbage will be going to landfills. So recycling is even more important. The market still wants material but what they want is good, clean and marketable material. Anchor Glass in Shakopee takes clean clear glass and makes new glass, Strategic Recycling in St. Paul takes broken pieces of glass and mixed glass and comes out with piles of different colored glass which then is marketable. Curbside recycling single sort bin items have to be separated either by machines or people and are highlighted below – • Plastics that are recyclable are #1, #2 and #5. #1 are mostly soft drink beverage containers or bottles with a neck, (take lids off jars and don’t crush the containers). #2 are cleaning products, shampoo, etc., #5 are usually dairy containers, yogart containers, and some to- go cups, etc. • Boxes should be flatten • Plastic bags should be taken to grocery stores not in your curb side recycling container • Shedded paper should be kept with other shedded paper. Don’t put it into the curbside recycling bins. Communicate using highlights of the correct way to recycle and what should be in your curbside recycling items since there are some changes that people may not be aware of. Mr. Schwartz suggested to email the organics participants since we have their address just a reminder of how and what to recycle. Enivornmental Board April 24, 2019 Page 3 DRAFT MINUTES Ms. Doll added that every trash hauler will give you another recycling container at no cost. “When in doubt throw it out” B. Earth Day Discussion There was adequete number of people helping out with the city’s table. Posters are a good vechicle for information. The posters do need some repair and updating. The Heron poster and Waste program poster could have pictures that could be taken on and off easily as well the updated information. City’s web site needs some updating as far as recycling, elm tree disposal, etc. Seed balls are still a hit – we should have a photo of the end result of the growth of the plants from the seed ball. There were 5 groups that picked up trash within the city. VIII. ADJOURNMENT Ms. Andrzejewski made a MOTION to adjourn the meeting at 8:17 p.m. Ms. Kaufenberg supported motion. Motion carried 6 - 0. Respectfully submitted, Mary Fogarty City of Lino Lakes 1 ENVIRONMENTAL BOARD AGENDA ITEM 7A STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson, Environmental Coordinator MEETING DATE: July 31, 2019 REQUEST: Review of CUP, Otter Lake Animal Care Center Addition APPLICANT: Dr. Wayne Scanlon 6848 Otter Lake Road Lino Lakes, MN. 55038 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT This application is for a conditional use permit to build an addition on to Otter Lake Animal Care facility at 6848 Otter Lake Road. The site is located south of the old Otter Lake Service Road, the RV storage facility and parallel to Interstate 35E. Otter Lake Animal Care Center has been serving the community since 1987. The plan is proposed to expand the facility to include a 2800 foot extension to the existing 3900 foot buildings north side. The parking area will be expanded for staff. A detached cover trash enclosure will be built with wooden slats to match the main building wood slats. The site includes a utilities and landscape plan. The project site encompasses approximately 1.5 acres (0.8 acres disturbed area). The site will be on city sewer and water. 2 ANALYSIS Existing Site Conditions Soils The site has Webster soils. Webster soils are a Hydric type soil. Webster soils have a high water table and are poorly drained. These soils are not good for septic systems. The facility is on City sewer. Land Cover The existing cover consists of buildings and pavement with 76-90% impervious cover; and Tall Grass altered/non-native dominated grassland. Significant Resources There are no National Heritage Information System points in this area. There is no indication of Blanding Turtle activity or breeding patches in this area. In fact, the freeway is a giant barrier to Blanding Turtles, as well as, to all other wildlife creatures that can’t fly over the roadway. Tree Preservation The goal of tree preservation is to minimize unnecessary loss of habitat, biodiversity and forest resource, and to replace removed trees in areas where tree cover is most critical. All bordering trees on properties next to the project must be fenced off with orange fence to ensure there is no impacts to private trees on bordering properties. Landscaping The submitted Landscape Plan shows a sod and irrigated ground cover. The plan shows 13 trees to be planted, all appropriate species. Shrub species proposed are all appropriate. Wetlands A wetland boundary delineation was completed for this site. The wetland or Basin 1 on the site was determined by historic photography to be an excavated drainage pond. The site is not disturbing wetlands and is not in a “Natural Resource Enhancement” or a “Natural Resources Conservation Management” Corridor. Surface Water The site is in the Clearwater Creek Resources Management Unit. The pond will be excavated to meet volume requirements. No wetland mitigation is required. A draft drainage and utility easement and a maintenance agreement were submitted for both pond areas. The agreement includes two property owners. 3 Basin 1 is connected by a 15 inch ductile iron pipe to a drainage area to the south. Water flows from south to north between these two pond areas. Drinking Water Protection The existing well on the site will be abandoned and capped-off or sealed. The site is in a Drinking Water Service Management Area of Low Sensitivity and Moderate vulnerability. The owner is proposing to abandon and seal the existing well on site. There are no other issues on this site that would be of concern other than animal waste and that issue is covered under the nuisance ordinance of the city requiring the pickup of all animal waste on the site. Tree Preservation There are 6 trees proposed for removal. Perimeter control fence should be extended out to the dripline of trees proposed to be saved on the property. Lighting The proposed lighting for the site falls within the low-impact design of our zoning code standards. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Water flows from the south drainage area to the north pond. The storm pond on the north side is being sized to accommodate extra runoff. It will be brought up to NURP standards. City Engineering will verify size needed. The developer has submitted a Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan. The plan includes a stormwater management plan for the entire proposed site and any contributing areas. Our City Engineer will verify the rate and volume control design of the plan meets city and RCWD rules. Since the area of soil disturbance is only 0.8 acres, an NPDES permit is not needed. The City would require and erosion control plan. The developer has submitted an erosion control plan that meets our standards. Construction stormwater management for the site includes BMP’s for silt fence perimeter control, dust control, inlet protection, and a rock construction entrance. Permeant BMP’s include SAFL Baffle manholes, infiltration basins, surface pavements, and vegetation restoration. Rain Guardian Turrets have also been added to the outlets to the pond, providing for pretreatment for the pond and help dissipate the flow to the pond. 4 RECOMMENDATION Recommend approval of the Otter Lake Animal Care Center, with any further recommendations of the Lino Lakes Environmental Board.

The lot is a lakeshore lot of Reshanau Lake at 6790 West Shadow Lake Drive. The existing site is semi-developed land with an existing building, driveway, fire pit, and wetland area with scattered trees and open grass area. The existing fire pit is to be removed. The existing residence will remain on site. ANALYSIS The proposed subdivision is in a Shoreland Management Overlay District. With regards to this, the overlay district is a statutory requirement to regulate the development of land along lake shores. The uncontrolled use of shorelands of the city effects the public health, safety, and general welfare, not only by contributing to pollution of public waters, but also by impairing the local tax base. Therefore, it is in the best interests of the public health, safety, and welfare to provide for the wise subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters. The Legislature of Minnesota has delegated responsibility to local governments of the state to regulate the subdivision, use and development of shorelands of public waters, preserve and enhance the quality of surface waters, conserve the economic and natural environmental values of shorelands, and provide for the wise use of waters and related land resources. The responsibility for the management of shoreland areas is hereby recognized by the city. Reshanau Lake is classified as a Recreational Development Lake with an ordinary high water elevation of 883.5. 2 One of the provisions of the overlay districts is sewered lots must be less than 20,000 sq. feet. The proposed lots are. There is a proposed 0.6 acres of land disturbance. Setbacks from the Ordinary High Water elevation must be at least 75 feet on a sewered recreational lake. Shoreland Alterations are regulated in a Shoreland Management area. The removal or alteration of natural vegetation, except for agricultural and forest management uses shall be restricted to prevent erosion into protected waters, to consume nutrients in the soil and to preserve shoreland aesthetic. Removal of natural vegetation in the Shoreland Overlay District is allowed subject to the following standards: 1. Clear cutting of natural vegetation is prohibited. 2. Limited clearing of trees and shrubs and cutting, pruning and trimming of trees is allowed to provide a view to the water from the principal dwelling site and to accommodate the placement of stairways and landings, picnic areas, access paths, beach and watercraft access areas and permitted water-oriented accessory structures or facilities, provided that: a. The screening of structures, vehicles or other facilities as viewed from the water, assuming summer, leaf-on conditions, is not substantially reduced; b. Along rivers, existing shading of water surfaces is preserved; and c. The above provision is not applicable to the removal of trees, limbs or branches that are dead, diseased or pose safety hazards. 3. Natural vegetation shall be restored insofar as feasible after any construction project is completed to retard surface runoff and soil erosion. 4. The provisions of this section shall not apply to permitted uses which normally require the removal of natural vegetation. There are a number of other issues that zoning officials must look for proposed shoreland construction. In particular, this lot will have limited ability to construct accessory structures, decks or additions due to the required setback from the OHWL. EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS Soils The soils consist of excessively drained Zimmerman fine sands and closer to the Lake Beach sand. Land Cover The land cover on this lot is classified as 11% to 25% impervious cover with deciduous trees. Significant Resources 3 The only significant resource around this lot area is the lake itself. There is a wetland preservation corridor covering the eastern side of the lots. There are no NHIS rare features in this area. There are no sandplain rare plant features in on this site. Landscaping One boulevard tree is needed for this site. Wetlands There is two delineated wetlands on the site. The first is the lake itself. The second is a 0.046 acre wet meadow consisting of Reed Canary Grass and Bittersweet Nightshade, located along the shoreline. This is in a wetland management corridor. There are no proposed impacts to the wet meadow area. Flood Plain Flood Plane fill proposed will be mitigated by the creation of a basin on the site. There are 110 cubic yards of flood plain fill and 110 yards of Compensatory flood plain creation. Tree Preservation The tree inventory shows a number of trees that will be removed in the construction area, and Basin/FEMA mitigation area. Trees outside of these areas are to be preserved. Storm Water Management and Erosion and Sediment Control The site is approximately 0.74 acres draining eastward towards Reshenau Lake, .03 acres draining northward, and .05 acres draining into a wetland on the property. There are 3 areas of discharge from the site (one to the north and 2 to the east). In the area where the fire pit will be removed, it is proposed to construct a stormwater basin adjacent to where the basin is now located. A new driveway and residence will be constructed. New impervious runoff will flow to the existing wetland or to the proposed new basin over a green space disconnect. An NPDES permit is not needed for this site. An erosion control plan is needed. The submittal shows silt fence around site construction area and wetland basin. It also shows a rock entrance.
