Washington County's Request to install methane gas monitoring vent on city property Doug Ryan, Environment and Land Use Division Manager, Washington County, is requesting the city's permission to enter on, construct and maintain three methane detection wells on city -owned property. (the property we know as Lake Jane Hills Park). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 16, 1993 2 The Council amended the submitted agreement as follows: First Paragraph Amended to read as follows: The City of Lake Elmo, Minnesota (hereinafter "City") hereby grants to Washington County the right to enter on, construct and maintain three methane detection wells in the northeast corner of Parcel 0115 in the locations as approved by the City, Parks Supervisor or his delegate, and with minimal damage to trees.

(Motion carried 3-0). 5. OLD BUSINESS: None 6. PLANNING/LAND USE & ZONING: A. Petition for rezoning from R1 to RE The City received a petition from five of the seven property owners within the R1 portion and one property owner in the RR portion of Midland Meadows requesting a rezoning from R1 to RED. The property owners have stated that they were told by the Realtor that the lots could not be zoned R1 which allows for a minimum lot size of 1-1/2 acres. Tony Collette, property owner in the R1 portion on 4.09 acres, has applied for a minor subdivision which is scheduled to go before the Planning Commission on March 22, 1993, Dave Richter and Terry Erickson explained they bought these lots with the understanding they would remain rural and could not be subdivided. Richter also questioned driveway access for the Collette property. Mike Lukin felt it's a benefit to the Lake Elmo community that the propertyowners rezone up and protect the land around them. Since the Planning Commission is going to look at the Comp Plan for possible zoning changes to the bordering properties of Lake Elmo, Denise Richter asked if they could look at their area at the same time? Tony Collette reported when he purchased his property, it was zoned R1 and bought it with the intention of doing a minor subdivision. He placed his house in an appropriate place for when the time came to split it this opportunity was available to him. He checked with the City for what, was required and has met all the requirements of the Minor Subdivision Ordinance: survey, perk tests, paid an application fee. Lot 7, Block 1 has two driveway easements, LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 16, 1993 3 and according to his attorney, that easement runs with the land regardless of whether or not it remains a single parcel or is split. Joe Lux, Washington County, informed him that all he had to do was apply for a driveway permit and the County had no problem issuing the driveway permit. Attorney Filla explained if the city feels that changing the Comprehensive Plan and the corresponding rezoning for the area is in the best interest of the city, the council has the right to do that including Lot 7. Even if you conclude that you want to allow these things to continue on concurrent tracks, his recommendation would be to continue to include the collette property in this new zoning. This means that the collette property will become a non- conforming use. He would not recommend that the council carve out a parcel of R1 land surrounded by some other designation. M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to accept the petition from the residents for a rezoning from R1 to RED, (Comprehensive Plan Amendment) and direct the staff to prepare a resolution suitable to cover this matter for review at the April 6th council meeting. Items included in Resolution: refer this area to Planning Commission for study and direction and at the same time the PZ set a public hearing for a Development Moratorium for area affected to be determined by consultants and PZ. (Motion carried 3-0). The Planning Commission is reviewing the Ordinance on moving buildings into the city. B. Land Surveyor's Certificate Correction to Midland Meadows, Lot 7, block 1 M/S/P Conlin/Johnson - to approve the request for a Land Surveyor's Certificate of Correction of Plat, as it relates to Lot 7, Block 1, Midland Meadows whereby the distance along the south side of the drainage easement which is shown as 210.00 feet be correct to show the actual dimension of 410.00 feet. (Motion carried 3-0. C. Petition for the Establishment of the Cottage Grove Watershed District The City received a copy of the draft petition for the establishment of the Cottage Grove Ravine Watershed District. Both Woodbury and Oakdale have approved this petition. Attorney Filla reviewed the petition and reported he had no concerns with the content of the petition. M/S/P Conlin/Johnson - to approve the petition for the establishment of the Cottage Grove Watershed District. (Motion carried 3-0). LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 16, 1993 4 7. CITY ENGINEER'S REPORT: 1 A. Update on 1993 MSA Feasibility Study Larry Bohrer presented the need for street improvements, proposed street design, trail, estimated costs, funding, assessments and project schedule. At their March 15th meeting, it was the consensus of the Parks Commission to not pursue a detached trail along these streets if construction is ordered, but to look into an alternative to a trailway in that area in the future. Councilman Johnson indicated he was not in favor of the separated trail, but was in favor of the proposed assessment plan. Bohrer explained it was his intent that the assessment does not establish the road improvement fund. The assessment is levied to provide for the benefit that this road improvement provides to the adjacent property. By making an assessment, you are able to utilize some of the state aid funds that would be eligible for this project, but are not necessary. It is the state aid funds that go to establish the local road improvement fund. M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to call a Public Hearing for 1993 MSA Improvements, Jamaca Avenue and Lake Jane Trail, for Tuesday, April 6th at 7:40 p.m. and direct the staff to place on the March 30th agenda for the Surface Water Management Utility Information meeting an item to receive the feasibility report. (Motion carried 3-0). B. Update on Olson Lake Estates Larry Bohrer submitted the following status report on the condition of the Olson Lake Estates Pond as of March 10, 1993: Present Pond Elevation 954.9 Volume at Present Elevation 16.4 ACFt Water Content of Snow 0.7" Pond Elevation if all ran off 957.2 Critical Elevation 962+/- Elevation of Olson Lake at overflow Surface Area of Olson Lake 100 Ac Volume of Olson Lake 1,200 ACFt At the last council meeting, the staff was directed to prepare a resolution stating the position of the City regarding discharge of water from Olson Lake Estates Pond. Attorney Filla prepared the resolution and Larry Bohrer has reviewed it. LAKE ELMO CITY COUNCIL MINUTES MARCH 16, 1993 5 M/S/P Johnson/Conlin - to approve Resolution No. 93-12, A Resolution relating to the discharge of water from Olson Lake Estates Pond. (Motion carried 3-0). C. Preparation for Surface Water Utility Larry Bohrer asked for comments from the Council for his presentation at the Surface Water Utility informational meeting scheduled for March 30th. **Proposed fees for mobile home parks: Because the streets in the park are privately owned, he included that as part of the impervious surface of the park. Whereas, the streets when they are on public rights -of -way, are exempt. The council requested Bohrer consider the streets in Cimarron as we do our city streets and prepare a calculation in relation to the land area occupied by a mobile home. **Expected revenue and expected expenditures. Expected revenues versus expenditures has not been done. The council asked that this be estimated. **Clarify the difference between paying VBWD versus this fund. 8. CITY ATTORNEYS REPORT: None 9. CITY COUNCIL REPORTS: Mayor John reported he met a number of the landowners in Sections 32 & 33 to assess their current attitudes toward Lake Elmo and their interest in returning to Lake Elmo if the City were to provide a sewer in the area. Mayor John provided notes on the meeting with State Representatives and Oakdale Council members on March 12, 1993 at 1:00 p.m. in the State offices. After some discussion it was agreed that the respective city staffs would identify the real costs of: a. increasing the sewer capacity to meet the needs of the Business Park District and then the MUSA extension and b. extension of the sewer from the NE corner of Guardian Angels Church property to the east of CSAH 13, In addition a date for the start of the project (the 4th street main stem) would be established. Larry Bohrer indicated these costs could be provided by the end of this week.

We have completed review of the information accompanying your request, the official Federal grant project files, the Federal laws including implementing regulations applicable to the issues, as well as applicable policy and guidance in effect on September 2, 1983, the date of grant award. Based on this review, we find nothing precluding the extension of a grant budget period after its expiration. Further, we find that all the disputed cost of acquiring land, even though the magnitude of that cost was not known until after the end of the budget period, was effectively,.legally incurred when the City of Lake Elmo exercised its right of eminent domain, which was well within the existing approved budget period. Consequently, the matter of a budget period extension is moot. Correspondingly, based on an assessment of the facts against the fundamental grant allowability criteria of necessity, reasonabil- ity and allocability of costs to the grant project, it is my Printed an Recycled Paper -2- determination, as this Agency's authorized Disputes Decision official, that: 1. $86,453.70, the amount determined by the Minnesota State District Court as the amount to be paid as full and just compensation to the respondents in the eminent domain proceedings, is allowable for Federal grant funding; 2. $3,150, the cost of the City's appraiser services to provide additional documentation for the eminent domain appeal process, is allowable; 3. $7,182.91, the cost of legal services associated with the eminent domain process is allowable and $135.00 of legal services was for normalgovernmental operating expenses and, as such is unallowable pursuant to 40 CFR Part 35, Appendix A, Miscellaneous Costs, Item 2(a); and, 4. $3,003.87, the cost for engineering services related to the eminent domain land acquisition is allowable and $589.29 of engineering overhead costs was unnecessary and, therefore, unallowable pursuant to 40 CFR 30.135-3. In summary, $99,790.45 of the $100,514.77 claimed by the City, or $50,190.48 of the $50,914.77 determined unallowable in the MPCA determination, is allowable for Federal grant funding. The determination expressed above is an official disputes decision pursuant to 40 CFR, Part 30, Subpart L, and absent a request from the City for review by registered mail, return receipt requested, within 30 calendar days of the date of this decision will constitute final Agency action. You must file your request for such a review with the Regional Administrator, Mr. Valdas V. Adamkus, at the letterhead address, in accordance with 40 CFR 30 Subpart L, which also contains further information regarding your rights. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me. J,Respectfully, .

SOVINK,• Notes on meeting with State Representatives and Oakdale Council ( members on March 12, 1993 at 1.00 p.m. in the State Offices: Pam Neary's office. Present: Pam Neary, State Representative Ted Bearth, Mayor, Oakdale Sheri Timmerman, Oakdale Councillor Wyn John, Mayor, Lake Elmo Rita Conlin, Lake Elmo Councillor Wyn John circulated notes he had made on the March 2 meeting. Pam Neary then summarized her understanding of the position as at the end of the last meeting: 1. That Oakdale and Lake Elmo were agreed on the need to provide a sewer, along 4th Street, in Sections 32 & 33, to be jointly funded by the cities. 2. That sewer capacity would be transferred from the MinDoT land areas to support Lake Elmo's Business Park District. The sewer would be sized to be adequate for this additional capacity, and for potential longer range extension of the MUSA along I-94. The additional costs would be borne by Lake Elmo. 3. The question of land transfer to Oakdale was unresolved. Lake Elmo was reluctant to hand over the land to Oakdale without some recompense for the loss in revenue that this transfer represented. It was agreed that Lake Elmo would approach the landowners to see whether they were still interested in transfer to Oakdale, provided a sewer were made available. This would permit a boundary adjustment between the cities to be considered. Wyn John then reported on the results of contacts with a number of the Section 32 & 33 landowners. This indicated that some did not mind in which city they were located as long as sewer were available at the earliest. Some felt that after being in conflict with Lake Elmo for so long, they did not wish to rejoin the city which had resisted their requests for sewer and water service. Others did not want their land to be within two cities after a boundary relocation. There were some on small lots, who had not petitiuoned in the first place, who wanted to stay in Lake Elmo. From this, Pam Neary tried to see if an agreement could be reached ( whereby the land was transferred to Oakdale, but that Lake Elmo would receive some compensation in relation to sewer costs as an exchange. Both Rita Conlin and Wyn John emphasised that Lake Elmo was interested in ensuring that the sewer reached the East side of CSAH 13 within this project. Also, that it was technically feasible for Lake Elmo to install the sewer along 4th Street to CSAH 13 as a stand alone project, since all the relevant land was still in Lake Elmo. In addition, that Helmo Avenue was still a Lake Elmo street, as all assessments had not been fully paid by the landowners. Consequently, another portion of the Oakdale sewer project could not proceed without Lake Elmo approval. Ted Bearth would not agree to any support of sewer costs, as he felt that the benefitting parties should pay their share of the project. He did not see that enabling the project to proceed in a timely manner, saving the costs of litigation to order the land into Oakdale, or having land transferred into Oakdale with the potential of additional tax capacity, were benefits for Oakdale. He felt that the bill had been submitted and that the legislative action should take its course. After some discussion, it was agreed that the respective City Staffs.would identify the real costs of: a) increasing the sewer capacity to meet the needs of the Business Park District, and then the MUSA extension and b) extension of the sewer from the NE corner of Guardian Angels Church property to the east of CSAH 13 In addition, a date for the start of the project (the 4th Street main stem) would be established. At Ted Bearth's suggestion, a joint session of the two councils was tentatively agreed for March 22 at Oakdale City Hall. This would be confirmed following the March 16 Lake Elmo Council meeting. Mayor's report March 16, 1993 Since the last council meeting, I met a number of the landowners in Sections 32 & 33 to assess their current attitudes towards Lake Elmo, and their interests in returning to Lake Elmo if the City were to provide a sewer in the area. Understandably, their response was mixed, but it did give me some background to help in our further discussions with Oakdale, which took place on March 12. I have made notes of our meeting at the State Offices, which can form part of the minutes. On Saturday March 13, two teams drawn from the Council, Administrative staff, and the Planning Commission, entered in the Annual Leukemia Bowl- A-Thon sponsored by the City of Oak Park Heights. We were not as successful as we had hoped, but the Leukemia Society benefited by $ which was donated by our teams' sponsors. On Monday March 15, I met with the Metro Regional Supervisor of the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources, Bruce Sandstrom, Board Conservationist Barbara Ohman, and Al Dornfeld, Chair of the Valley Branch Watershed District. This was in response to a letter I had written them on my concerns over the authorities and responsibilities of the Watershed districts. We had a constructive discussion, resulting in my agreeing to call an informational meeting for the citizens of Lake Elmo, tentatively for April 14, to be attended by representatives of the Met Council, PCA, DNR, Board of Water & Soil Resources, and the Valley Branch Watershed District and the City of Oakdale. This will discuss surface water issues as well as the implications of the 509 Water Management Project. With the council's agreement tonight, I will call this meeting for April 14, 1993. Last night, my wife and I attended the meeting of the State Committee on Local Government and Metropolitan Affairs investigating the status of the Metropolitan Council. This was held at the Washington County Commission's offices in Stillwater. There were many presentations, some of which were in support of the Met Council, others in support of bills which modified its function, structure and responsibilities. I was impressed by the smooth way the procedures were conducted, and the way the meeting was structured to give a degree of automatic formality. We left before proceedings had finished, but this subject is one which will go on for some' time before recommendations are made. 2 To: Mayor and City Council From: Mary Kueffner Date: March 15, 1993 Re: Lake Elmo Municipal Water Supply Routine Inspection Report Attached is a copy of the above referenced report from the Minnesota Department of Public Health. Please note that the first recommendation of the Health Department is that the City consider constructing another well to serve as an emergency standby. Since there has been some discussion, at least by the Planning Commission, of an extension of the "Old Village", I think it would be prudent for the City to consider this additional well in those plans. If those plans go no where, the Council should still consider this recommendation in the not -to -distant future. There was a "Water Study Committee" a few years ago. If anyone in interested in seeing that report, or would like this issue put on the Council agenda for discussion, please let me know, The chlorination issue has also been brought up before by the Health Department, but according to our maintenance foreman, who has looked into this for previous councils, chlorinating now could reek havoc on our system and could be very expensive. We would have to retrofit our well house to accommodate a separate room for the chlorination equipment and probably have to replace at least some of the watermains because the buildup of residue now in the pipes would be loosened by the chlorination and could cause plugging of meters and weakening of the pipes (Dan says this has been the case in other cities). The costs involved should not be a reason to not chlorinate, but the council should be aware of the costs involved. Any new well that would be instructed has to have chlorination, but as of yet they have not made that law retroactive to existing wells. I suppose we should also be prepared for that possibility. Additional or on -going training is offered to our staff, and we will continue to encourage the staff to attend these classes.

The city of Lake Elmo should consider constructing an additional well to serve as a standby or emergency water source. 2. The city of Lake Elmo should consider installing permanent chlorination equipment and maintaining a free chlorine residual of at least 0.2 to 0.6 milligrams per liter on all points of the distribution system. 3. The opportunity for additional training in water supply work should be made available to the operator(s). Attendance at the annual waterworks operators seminar, held in the area, is a valuable experience for anyone engaged in this field. Bassam H. Banat, P.E.

United States Office of Water Environmental Protection WHS50A Agency EPA 570/19.91-400 June1991 Lead avind Coper Rule The Lead and Copper Rule was published in the Federal Register on June 7, 1991. It becomes effective on November 7, 1992. This rule requires treatment when lead and/or copper in drinking water exceeds certain levels: Lead enters drinking water mainly from the corrosion of lead -containing house- hold plumbing. Since lead.and capper contamination generally occurs after water has left the public water system, the best way for the water system operator to find out if customer water is contaminated is to test water that has come from a household faucet. This type of contamination can be prevented by controlling the corrosiveness of the water supply. If corrosion wntrol is not sufficient, lead - containing materials may have to be replaced. Water Quality Standards Maximum Contaminant Level Goals (MCLG): Water systems should try to supply water which is free of lead and has no more than 1.3 milligrams of copper per liter. This is a non -enforceable health goal. ' '' ' Action Levels: When the concentration of lead or copper reaches the MCLG Action Level action level in ten percent of the total number of required samples, the (mg1L) (mgrL) water system is required to carry out the water treatment requirements of Lead 0 0.015 the rule. These enforceable treatment requirements are described below.. Copper 1.3 1.3 Monitoring Requirements Lead/copper monitoring at high -risk homes. Water systems must complete a materials evaluation of their distribution system. and/or review other information to target homes that are at high risk of lead/copper contamination. Monitoring is to be conducted at the tap in these homes, with the number of tap -sampling sites based on the population served. One sample is required at each site. • Number of Initial Sampling Sites # at home System taps for size Pb/Cu 9 within dist. for other factors >100,000 100 50 10,001-100,000 60 10 3,301-10,000 40 3 501.3,300 20 2 101-500 10 1 5100 5 1 Additional monitoring for other factors affecting corrosion is required to optimize treatment and determine compliance with State lead/copper standards. Two types of systems must perform this monitoring under the following conditions: • Large systems serving more than 50,000 Dermas, regardless of the lead/copper levels in tap samples. • Smaller systems serving less than 50,000 persons, if the action levels are exceeded in tap samples. Two types of sampling sites are specified for this purpose: • Within the distribution system, with the number of sites based on population served (sites may be same as for coli-f- orm sampling). Two samples are required from each site. • One sample at each entry point to the distribution system. `..Pii6GcEdiicvtiortFaelSfieet5erirs� Monitoring Frequencies. Initially, small and medium systems must collect home tap amples for lead and copper analysis every six months. Samples 'or other factors must be taken from within the distribution ystem every six months, and from entry points to the distribu- ion system every two weeks. Both the number of'sampling sites aid the frequency may be reduced if, for three years, the action evel is met or the system maintains optimal treatment.

Once a system finds that more than 10 percent of all tap monitoring -isults exceed the action levels, the system must begin to carry out the first three ..ctions. O Corrosion control treatment. Depending on its size, a system may be required to first monitor as described above and/or recommend a corrosion control treatment to. the State. Upon the approval of the State, treatment is to be installed and demonstrated to be effective according to criteria set by the State. Treatment options are: pH and alkalinity adjustment, calcium adjust- ment, and silica or phosphate -based corrosion inhibition. 9 Source Water Treatment. Systems must first monitor their source water for the presence of lead/copper, and, if necessary, recommend a treatment to the State. Treatment options are: ion exchange, lime softening, reverse osmosis, and coagulation/filtx-ation. Once the State approves a treatment, systems will have 2 years to install it and 1 more year to conduct follow-up monitoring. If treatment is not required, or if the treated water does not exceed the maxi- mum lead/copper levels permitted by the State, source water monitoring will be synchronized with the system's other monitoring schedules. ® Public Education. Public education materials developed by EPA will inform customers about the health effects of lead, and explain what they can do at home to reduce their exposure. ate s5 ntem must begin delivering the materials within 60 days of the lead Compliance Deadlines action level exceedance. The materials include public NOTE: assumes action levels exceeded in initial monitoring service announcements to be submitted periodically to television and radio stations, and other pamphlets to be delivered directly to customers, newspapers, hospi- Large Medium Small tals, etc. Action >50K 3,300.50K 53,300 LF a system continues to exceed the lead action level after installing optimal corrosion control and source water treatment, the fourth action must be taken: O Lead Service Line Replacement. Lead service lines that contribute more than 0.015 mg/L to tap water lead levels must be replaced. A system must replace seven percent of its lead lines each year, and must replace all lines within 15 years. For More Information Call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at:1-800-426.4791.
