REQUESTED BY: Peter Mott, Park Manager Washington County Parks SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant Mike Bouthliet, Park and Public Works Superintendent REVIEWED BY: Parks Commission Susan Hoyt, City Administrator SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The city council is being asked to approve a deer harvest in Sunfish Lake Park in November 2008 in conjunction with the Lake Elmo Park Reserve deer harvest. The goal of the hunt is to reduce the deer population in the two parks by 100 deer, resulting in a population of 15 to 25 deer per square mile. This has been a 15 year on-going partnership between the county and the city to control the deer population. The proposed gun hunt at Sunfish Lake Park will be comprised of hunters selected by lottery. The lottery will be limited to Lake Elmo city residents and result in the selection of 8 hunters and 2 alternates. The deer harvest will be conducted in conjunction with the Lake Elmo Park Reserve harvest, with assistance of the DNR, in the two parks over two weekends in November(November 8-9, and 15 & 16). A number of precautions will be in place to ensure that potential park visitors will not enter the parks during the hunt, including extensive signing of park entrances and boundaries. The Parks Commission reviewed the proposal and discussed it with park representatives and approved the deer harvest. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Deer populations have been growing steadily in Washington County and throughout the Metropolitan area for the last 30 years. In order to keep deer populations in balance with available habitat, collective efforts between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, metropolitan cities, park agencies, sportsmen's organizations, and private citizens have been developed and implemented. The Washington County Parks Division, with assistance from the MN DNR, recommends the use of a"special hunt" to manage deer populations within the Lake Elmo Park Reserve and adjacent Sunfish Lake Park. MN DNR wildlife managers estimate that upwards of 200 deer are in the park areas based on a 2008 aerial count of 153 and the assumption that 30% of the actual deer population is missed through aerial surveys. A population of this size causes significant damage to trees and shrubs in the parks due to browsing and also poses a traffic hazard as deer cross nearby highways. A controlled hunt in the parks should remove significant numbers of deer from the parks, while also dispersing deer into areas where they may be harvested by other hunters, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of the harvest. The goal of the harvest is to reduce the deer herd to 15-25 deer per square mile in the parks. The Lake Elmo Parks Commission requested a cap of deer harvested, and the County has proposed that no more than 100 deer will be harvested between the two parks. The Parks Commission voted unanimously in support of approving the proposed deer harvest. 1 RECOMMENDATION: Approve a request from Washington County Parks Division for the City to conduct a deer harvest in Sunfish Lake Park in conjunction with the Lake Elmo Park Reserve deer harvest in November of 2008. MOTION FOR CONSIDERATION Move to approve the deer harvest in Sunfish Lake Park to be held in conjunction with the Lake Elmo Park Reserve harvest, with assistance of the Minnesota DNR, on November 8 and 9 and November 15 and 16. ATTACHMENTS 1 Washington County Parks Division, 2008 Proposed Shotgun Deer Management Plan 2 Washington County Parks Division, Lake Elmo Park Reserve Deer Harvest 2 Public Works Department Wa§Wngyton Parks Division Donald J.Theisen,P.E. ' �Nw/ Director/County Engineer iinty John D.Elholm,CPRP Parks Director Washington County Parks Division 2008 Proposed Shotgun Deer Management Plan Deer populations have been grow ing steadily in Washington County and throughout the Metropolitan Area for the last 30 years. In order to keep deer populations in balance with available habitat, collective efforts between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MN DNR), metropolitan cities, park agencies, sportsmen's organizations, and private citizens must be developed and implemented. The Washington County Parks Division, with assistance from the MN DNR, recommends the use of a 'special hunt' to manage deer populations within the Lake Elmo Park Reserve (LEPR). The proposal for LEPR is to conduct a shotgun hunt during the regular Minnesota firearms deer season in November of 2008. A shotgun hunt is being selected over an archery hunt to increase harvest success rates, thereby decreasing the number of days of disturbance in the park. The deer herd in the park reserve and the adjacent Sunfish Lake Park has grown to 153, based upon a 2008 aerial survey. MN DNR wildlife managers estimate that 30% of the actual deer population is missed through aerial surveys. This means there are upwards of 200 deer in the park area. MN DNR wildlife managers recommend deer population goa Is of 15 to 25 deer per square mile, or 45 - 75 deer in the area surveyed. A large number of these deer are entering and staying in the parks in the fall because of outside hunting pressures. The large concentration of deer in the park has caused significant damage to trees and shrubs due to deer browsing. A population of this size also poses a traffic hazard as deer cross nearby highways. A controlled hunt in the park, in conjunction with the regular deer firearms season, should remove significant numbers of deer from the park reserve, while also dispersing deer into areas outside the park where they may be harvested by other hunters, thereby increasing the overall effectiveness of our efforts. MN DNR wildlife managers recommend that we allow hunting of either sex deer in the park reserve while emphasizing the importance of harvesting antlerless (female) deer. This will be accomplished through an "earn-a-buck" management approach. The "earn-a-buck" approach requires hunters to harvest a female deer before they can harvest a buck (male deer). Reducing populations of female deer will lower the short-term reproductive capacity of the deer herd, maximizing the benefits of a controlled deer harvest in the park. MN DNR wildlife managers recommend we allow 50 hunters into the park reserve for the controlled harvest, and allow hunters to purchase additional anterless permits. The goal of the harvest is to reduce the deer herd to 15 —25 deer per square mile in the park. No more than 100 deer will be harvested from the park reserve. Washington County Parks will work with MN DNR to take advantage of the lottery system for this years' hunt. MN DNR will conduct the drawing and provide the list of successful applicants to Washington County. Staff asks for approval of the 2008 Deer M anagement Plan. 11660 Myeron Road North, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082 Phone: 651-430-4300 • Fax: 651-430-4350 • TTY: 651-430-6246 www.co.washington.mn.us Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative Action Washington County Parks Division Lake Elmo Park Reserve Deer Harvest Background This report contains information about how the white-tailed deer harvest will be conducted in the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. The Washington County Parks Division, in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, will conduct this special harvest. Studies conducted in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources indicate that there is an over-population of deer in the Lake Elmo Park Reserve. Perm its Shotgun hunting permits will be issued. Dates The hunt will be conducted November 8t' & 9t" and 15" & 16th. Game Either sex white-tailed deer. A doe m ust be harvested before a buck can be harvested. The Lake Elmo Park Reserve is designated an Intensive Harvest Area by the MN DNR. Hunters will be given the option to purchase and use up to four Bonus Permits to take additional antlerless deer, up to a grand total of 5 deer. No more than 100 deer will be removed from the park reserve. Application Procedures Application for special area permits must be submitted to the MN DNR License Bureau, The State will conduct a random drawing and return a list of successful applicants to the County. Orientation Meeting Successful applicants will receive a packet of hunt information and will be notified of a mandatory hunter orientation/safety meeting, which will be held before the hunt begins. Hunting Zones The park reserve will be divided into hunting zones. At the orientation session, each hunter will select the zone he wants to hunt according to the order in which they were drawn in the lottery. Hunters selected near the end of the lottery probably will not receive their first choice of zone. Hunters, with approval from Park staff, may shift zones after the first day to fill vacancies left by successful hunters. Zones will be marked on a map and marked in the field near residential development. A minimum of 300 yards will be the nearest any zone will be marked from residential development. Parking and Vehicle Use Designated parking areas will be established for use during the hunt. Hunters will not be allowed to park on any roads outside the park and walk into the park. The only time hunters will be allowed to drive beyond the parking areas is to retrieve a deer.

The School was awarded a $20,000 grant for the work and the city is the fiscal agent so the city must technically enter into the grant even though it is under the management of the School. The city formalized the agreement with MnDOT in January of 2008. The city staff will participate in the planning process when appropriate. The School sent out a request for proposals for the study in March, 2008 and received four responses. Iteris was selected by the school evaluation team. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Iteris was selected because of the thoroughness of their work plan, conciseness of their deliverables and their emphasis on creating educational opportunities for the school community and the general public. literis uses PE Engineering and 3M as subcontractors in the process. The four consultant teams submitted proposals; all costs were for the full $20,000 amount. • Alliant Engineering, Inc., Minneapolis • Bonestroo, St. Paul • Iteris, Inc., Minneapolis; in association with PE Services, Ltd., Wayzata; and 3M • Olsson Associates, Edina; in association with KLD Consulting, Minneapolis A proposal evaluation group rated each of the proposals.

No further action is requested at this time. 1. Trunk Highway 36 and Manning Avenue (CSAH 15) Project 2. Trunk Highway 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) Design Review Committee 3.

The grant provides for matching funds for planning expertise for ten cities and townships under 10,000 people within the twelve county metropolitan area that are anticipating growth between now and 2035. Lake Elmo meets these criteria. The Village area will require substantial planning expertise and communication with property owners and residents to move through the comprehensive plan amendments, zoning code and subdivision requirements to implement the preferred development scenario. These city initiated planning activities are eligible for these grant funds and the city's commitment to public involvement throughout the Village planning process with all of its related activities will support our application. After a review of the criteria, it appears that the 1,000 Friends may be looking for cities/townships that do not have a planning staff and/or have historically had limited resources available to address complex planning issues. Nevertheless, Lake Elmo clearly fits the criteria and the Village provides a great opportunity for the grant funds to be effectively used to plan and implement thoughtful growth. This grant may provide funds to support this effort in the amount of$40,000 the first year, $24,000 the second year and up to $100,000 over six years. It will also connect the city with additional community resources. The timing of the Village planning work will likely be done in a shorter time frame than six years so this funding detail would need to be worked to maximize investment in the Village planning. However, south of Tenth Street will require planning expertise and communication beginning in year 2010 or 2011 given the comprehensive plan timelines for growth. The deadline for the grant is May 15 and a resolution is required to support the city's application. The city was contacted by the 1,000 Friends of Minnesota about this opportunity and staff recommends submitting an application. The city's match could be through planning consulting dollars that are routinely budgeted and through the city's planning budget. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE 1,000 FRIENDS OF MINNESOTA The 1,000 Friends of Minnesota is an organization that has long been committed to managing growth. In an effort to promote thoughtful, sustainable development the 1000 Friends of Minnesota and their University of Minnesota partners, the Center for Urban and Regional Affairs and the Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, are now accepting applications from interested communities for Community Growth Options (CGO). CGO is a multi-year project funded by the McKnight Foundation and designed to deliver to small, fast-growing communities financial and other assistance for community planning, ordinance development, and implementation. 1 • The six-year goals of Community Growth Options (CGO)are: To assist local elected officials, staff and citizens in guiding the development patterns in their communities. To support Minnesota communities in accommodating growth. To create models of successful planning and implementation. To entice planning firms to provide to growing communities a comprehensive array of services.

Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, are now accepting applications from interested communities for Community Growth Options (CGO). CGO is a multi- year project funded by the McKnight Foundation and designed to deliver to small,fast-growing communities financial and other assistance for community planning, ordinance development, and implementation. CGO recognizes that Minnesota is growing rapidly and that many small communities are in the path of development with little or no support to help them prepare for this. Many communities have a vision of maintaining their community character, open spaces, and rural lifestyle, while also enjoying the economic development that growth could bring. Being concerned for the future of these unique places, CGO seeks to build capacity for ongoing planning and implementation in ten growing communities over a six-year period. In the end, the success of this project will be a replicable model of planning that specifically addresses the unique challenges facing small growing communities. The six-year goals of CGO are: ■ To assist local elected officials, staff and citizens in guiding the development patterns in their communities. ■ To support Minnesota communities in accommodating growth. ■ To create models of successful planning and implementation. ■ To incent planning firms to provide to growing communities a comprehensive array of services. ■ To create and sustain in communities a demand for long-term planning and a balanced-growth approach to community development. In 2008 ten communities will be selected to participate in this six-year project. Each of the ten communities will be awarded a grant in Year One of up to$40,000 and up to$24,000 in Year Two for the purpose of establishing a long-term framework for community planning, zoning and implementation. Communities that are working toward desired project outcomes are eligible for financial support over the six years of the project, totaling up to$100,000. Communities will be expected to contribute a portion of their own planning costs in an amount which will increase incrementally over the six-year period. Financial support from CGO will decrease each year until Year Six when the community is expected to pay the full cost of their planning and implementation. The ten selected communities will also have access to a comprehensive array of communications, educational, technology and University resources at no additional cost to support and enhance their planning and implementation efforts. These resources include: ■ A comprehensive array of communications resources, such as quarterly newsletters produced about each community and distributed to all community citizens, as well as CGO program-wide newsletters that highlight progress in all selected communities. Each community will also have a dedicated website for easy information sharing regarding the project. ■ Regular training opportunities, such as workshops for local elected officials, staff and citizens on various planning and natural resource topics relevant to the community. ■ University of Minnesota resources such as I0-week graduate student internships and faculty research support, which includes GIS support, market research, community surveys and data- gathering. ■ Technical assistance to support, inform the community planning process such as 3D visualization, interactive mapping and GIS analysis. Selected communities will be expected to: ■ Contract with a planning firm from our approved pool of consultants. ■ Work with that firm to establish a cyclical planning framework for their community that includes the following components: community visioning, comprehensive planning, ordinance development/updating,plan implementation/developing action items, policies and procedures audit, ongoing internal education and training. ■ With assistance from the selected planning firm, implement this planning framework. ■ Commit to funding ongoing planning as a core function of government(as noted above: CGO will pay up to $40,000 of the community's planning costs in Year One, up to $24,000 in year two, and decreasing each year until Year Six when the community is expected to pay the full cost of their planning program). ■ Commit to seeking diverse and broad citizen representation in the planning process. ■ Commit to openness and a high level of information-sharing in the planning process. ■ Participate in CGO workshops and trainings as appropriate.

RELATED INFORMATION Preliminary engineering work has identified three potential lift station locations in the vicinity of Reid Park. The locations selected and reviewed at this time provide the least cost sanitary sewer system for both the initial capital costs and on-going operational costs; and provide the most functional and flexible trunk sewer system for servicing both new development and existing homes and business in the Village area. The alternative sites were selected after reviewing the general topography of the sewer service area as defined in the Lake Elmo Comprehensive Plan; generally locating the lift stations in the lowest topographic region to maximize the lift station service area. The area around the southern part of Reid Park provides the lowest topography, is City-owned, and is adjacent to the project corridor. The three sites identified for council consideration include (please refer to the attached location map for these site locations): • Site Alternative No. 1: In the southwest corner of Reid Park; access from 30th Street, • Site Alternative No. 2: In the southeast corner of Reid Park: access from 30th Street, and Site Alternative No. 3: In a City-owned parcel adjacent to the southeast corner of Reid Park. This site would require easement acquisition to accommodate the sewer pipe and the access driveway. Also, soil borings, a wetland delineation, and additional engineering work will be required to verify the feasibility of this site. TKDA will present and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each site. This will include plan view drawings, cost estimates, photos, and 3D renderings showing the proposed facilities. At the conclusion of the presentation, TKDA and staff are requesting input and direction from the Council to help identify one lift station site, and to provide input regarding the site layout and configuration for the lift station facilities. Site layout options will be presented for site access, the chemical odor control dosing tank, back- up power on-site generator, facility layout, routing options for 3-phase power to the site, and a landscape screening plan. 1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The scope of the 1-94 to 30th Street Infrastructure project includes the extension of trunk sanitary forcemain from the MCES interceptor connection near 1-94 and Hudson Boulevard, along the Lake Elmo Avenue corridor, to the Reid Park Area on 30th Street (at the southern border of the proposed sewer service area). Future sewer projects will be required to connect to this Reid Park lift station to extend trunk gravity sewer from the lift station to the area(s) to be served. Depending on which lift station site is selected, the scope of these future projects will vary. The further east the lift station is located, the less distance the trunk gravity sanitary sewer would need to be extended to the Village area, but the more distance trunk gravity sanitary sewer would need to be extended to the Old Village area (existing homes along Lake Elmo Avenue and north of 30th Street). The lift station site will need to accommodate the lift station wet well and structure, control panel, valve vault, forcemain piping, gravity sewer piping, 3-phase power transformer, odor control dosing tank, stand-by generator, and access driveway. Many of these facilities will be substantially buried and there is an option to bury the chemical dosing tank. A chemical dosing tank will be required at the lift station site for the purpose of odor control. Chemicals stored in the dosing tank will pre-treat the wastewater in the lift station. Treatment inhibits the growth of hydrogen sulfide bacteria, which causes undesired odors and increases the corrosiveness of wastewater. Bioxide(D, a non-toxic nitrate compound, is the most commonly used chemical. The dosing tank can be installed above ground or buried at additional cost. A permanently mounted stand-by power generator will also be necessary at the site to ensure uninterrupted operation in the event of a power outage or other emergency situations. The life expectancy of a generator is approximately 25 years. It is possible to phase the design and size of this generator to provide a lower initial cost with the option of converting it to a portable mounted generator for Public Works operations, once a larger permanently mounted generator is required to meet higher operating conditions. The proposed lift station will require 3-phase power at the site. In addition to lift station site layout selection, staff is looking for council input in regards to the preferred route to supply 3-phase power to the site. Xcel Energy has reviewed the availability of 3-phase power in the area. Xcel Energy stated the following routes would be feasible (all cost estimates are preliminary and in 2008 dollars): • Adding an additional 3-phase line to the existing power poles along Lake Elmo Avenue and 30th Street (approximately under$50,000), • Extending a combination above ground and below ground line from Manning Avenue along 30th Street (approximately$50,000), and • Extending a below ground only line from Manning Avenue along 30th Street (approximately $70,000) All options remain within the engineer's project estimate. BACKGROUND The Council has previously authorized the design phase services for the 1-94 to 30th Street Infrastructure project. The project was approved as a forcemain-only design, extending along Lake Elmo Avenue using directional boring as necessary to minimize roadway disturbance. The proposed alignment and facility configuration extended the forcemain east along 30th Street with a sanitary lift station located in the vicinity of Reid Park. An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was completed with the determination that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not necessary for this project. The initial design authorization for this project occurred with the proposed sewer alignment consisting partially of gravity sanitary sewer along Lake Elmo Avenue and 30th Street. The 2 infrastructure improvements therefore included the reconstruction of Lake Elmo Avenue from 20th to 30th Street, the reconstruction of 30th Street, the addition of a trail along Lake Elmo Avenue, and the extension of a trunk watermain line along Lake Elmo Avenue. At the city council meeting on October 16, 2007, TKDA recommended that the city proceed with the Forcemain only option. This change consisted of extending a sanitary sewer forcemain for the entire length of the Lake Elmo Avenue corridor, thereby removing the street reconstruction work, the trail addition and the trunk watermain extension. The proposed change also identified for the council how residents along Lake Elmo Avenue could be served by gravity sanitary sewer in the future and at a lower cost if and when sanitary sewer service would be necessary or desired for these properties. The proposed recommendations were approved by the Council, thereby altering and reducing the project scope and design. We have subsequently reviewed the design services fee estimate that was previously authorized by the Council and we have found that we can confidently reduce our proposed fees at this time by at least$46,600. This would alter our proposed design fees from $296,600 down to$250,000. CITY COUNCIL DIRECTION AND ACTION REQUIRED SUGGESTED ACTION FOR CONSIDERATION—no formal motion required The Council is being asked to provide input and direction to the engineering staff in regards to the lift station site location, routing of three phase power, above or below ground chemical dosing tank, site access, and landscape improvements. It is further recommended that council direct staff to meet with the Park Commission to obtain input on this project as it relates to Reid Park. MOTION—to reduce the contract for the 1-94 to 30th Street Move to amend the TKDA contract for engineering services for the final design and specifications of the 1-94 to 30rh Street Sewer project from $296,600 to $250,000 for a reduction of$46,600.
