Re: Emergency Repair to Culvert on HCRRA Corridor — Vegetation Impacts
Dear Ms. Sinclair:
As we have discussed previously, the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA)
is working with Terry Bros. trucking company to access its abandoned railroad corridor across
the Terry Bros. site located at 100 and 220 Flying Cloud Drive in Chanhassen. HCRRA is
currently working on an emergency repair to a culvert at the base of an eighty foot slope. This is
part of a larger project to repair the slope failure directly above the culvert this summer.
HCRRA understands that a section of the Terry Bros. property is encumbered by a conservation
easement. HCRRA does not expect the current work to require any live tree removals, but in the
event of any damage and/or removals as a result of HCRRA's project, HCRRA will be
responsible for any and all restoration. Terry Bros. has granted HCRRA temporary access across
its property and shall not be responsible for any restoration.
Please contact me with any comments, questions, or to arrange a site visit at 612-348-2691.
Thank you very much.

Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Councilman Litsey: Absolutely.
Mayor Furlong: Got to love the Chief. Let's move on with the other items on our agenda.
MOON VALLEY, 100 & 220 FLYING CLOUD DRIVE: REOUEST FOR RENEWAL/
Paul Oehme: Thank you Mayor, City Council members. I've just got a brief presentation
regarding this extension and renewal permit request. Just so everybody's familiar with the
location of the project. The project is located just north of Flying Cloud Drive and south of the
Hennepin County trail system here and just east of 101. Say about a half mile or so, so it's just
in general the project location. So just a little history before we talk about the extension of the
permit. In 1992 an earthwork permit was granted to the property owner by the City for mining
operations. Then in 1996 a permit agreement was executed to resolve the mining and operations,
the restoration conflicts and issues regarding the property. Then in 2004 a 5 year interim use
permit was granted to the property owner for mining operations. And then in 2006 Terry
Brothers acquired a permit from the property owner for mining purposes. The Planning
Commission did review the IUP and held a public hearing on September 15`s and the Planning
Commission did approve the, or recommended approval to the City Council of the interim use
permit for this project. In general the mining limits are shown here in the white. Currently the
area to the west is currently being mined but the mining limits are shown here before the
proposed or the requested 10 year permit. Currently again the grading is in progress at this
location here. In the tan color. Recently the grading has been completed in this lighter green
areas up on top of the bluff and has more or less been restored. Trees have been removed at this
location, which is consistent with the IUP that was previously approved and some grading work
has also taken place east of here. Currently there is a small pond at the pond location here as
well to handle some of the runoff from the property. The area out to the east, or to the west is for
future potential mining operation area as well. Mining plan that's currently before you tonight,
again it's to grade this area and mine it for aggregate, basically common bar material. Sand
material out of this site for building purposes. And this lighter brown shaded area and the
construction of the pond for basically for the redevelopment of the site potentially take place
between 2015 and 2017 and proposed grading of the western side of the property would take
place approximately between 2018 and 2019 with the construction of a pond at that location too.
The staff did hand out a Findings of Fact updating from the background that was in your packet
and staff has requested one additional item be added to the finding and that's under Section
number 3, item (u) and staff is requesting that no grading or materials be worked in this area
until such time that the area to the east here is completely re -graded and vegetation established.
So that is an additional request that was not included in your packet. And basically the staff has
reviewed the IUP and is recommending approval at this time so if there's any questions staff
would be happy to try to answer them and the applicant is here as well.
Mayor Furlong: Okay, thank you. Any questions for staff? Councilman Litsey.
Councilman Litsey: I had one on the permitted hours of operation. I know that's within our
ordinance. Did you receive any feedback from nearby?
6 SCANNED
Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Paul Oehme: No the only, it's my understanding at the Planning Commission there was only one
property owner that showed up to the meeting and that was the adjacent property owner that
more or less lives on the site and he just had some questions about the grading work that was
taking place out there so. I don't believe there was any.
Kate Aanenson: There some someone that came, I'm sorry. You probably didn't, it wasn't on
the record, that came later and that was, led to the condition (u). Someone on Lakota Lane and
they do hear the noise and that's why we looked at not exposing the entire site and moving that
west side. They said 2018. If you can go back to that slide maybe Paul that showed that area.
The gray area. They live, so they are overlooking that so instead of having it all exposed at once,
and that's why we added that condition. They showed up later to the meeting and so I visited
with them and that was their concern. Just try to, so we don't have it all opened up with the
noise. There is a buffer there right now with the trees and the like and so they would like to see
the, all the extraction be done on that side restored before they move over. And just to make sure
that that's not all wide open and a lot more noise, because those, Lakota Lane is right above that
area so that was their concern.
Councilman Litsey: Because it is a noisy operation and.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Councilman Litsey: It's totally atypical what you normally would experience from noise.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah.
Paul Oehme: And staff can re-evaluate those working hours at such time the area is going to be
worked too. We have that opportunity in the future.
Councilman Litsey: I guess I'd be more comfortable with like 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and
Saturdays not but... We can talk about that I guess with the applicant. Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Any other questions for staff at this time?
Councilwoman Ernst: No questions.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. Oehme, I noticed in the conditions here there's a requirement for an annual
report and an annual grading plan to be submitted to the City, is that correct?
Paul Oehme: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: So there's an annual, even though we're looking at a 10 year extension, there's
going to be an annual look from the staff standpoint to ensure compliance?
Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Paul Oehme: Exactly. We want to look at you know how far are they along in the process.
How much material has been moved? What's the restoration looking like? So just making sure
we're touching base with an annual.
Mayor Furlong: Alright. And are there opportunities then if there are some issues or problems
to look at that as well on an annual basis?
Paul Oehme: Yep. That's the IUP allows us to look at that on an annual basis and make
adjustments if necessary.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah. And it also says you can hold a public hearing to terminate it if they're
not following the conditions of the plan. That would include the areas to be graded and some of
those others.
Mayor Furlong: Is the grading plan here expanded beyond what was approved the last time?
Paul Oehme: I think it's actually shrunk a little bit.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah. It's pretty close to what was earlier shown.
Paul Oehme: Yeah, it's pretty close to what was shown a little bit. We did tweak some of the
grades and bring in the construction limits a little bit I believe to try to save some of the trees on
the western side. Up in this area.
Kate Aanenson: Again that's what's providing buffer to some of those residents up on top.
Visually.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
Councilman Utsey: One other quick question. In Carver they have the gravel pit. Do they, I
don't think they allow operation on Saturdays, do they?
Paul Oehme: I don't know.
Councilman Litsey: Okay. I know there's probably more houses around that one that have been
built up but...
Mayor Furlong: Have they been, what has their operation been? Have they been grading...
Kate Aanenson: It's been slow. It's been slow.
Paul Oehme: Yeah.
Mayor Furlong: But prior, when was the, and maybe we can ask the applicant that.
Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Kate Aanenson: Sure. Well for the Planning Commission meeting the testimony was, a lot of
what they do is for commercial or for streets and there hasn't been a lot of that so it lengthens the
term. And you know as we've looked at being able to come down there to provide sewer and
water, we do see a higher and better use so the main goal was getting the grading plan, is to get a
reclamation plan so it's developable in the future so we're not left with a hole that's going to.
Mayor Furlong: Take the aggregate out now and then restore.
Kate Aanenson: Restore it in such a way that it's developable into the future.
Mayor Furlong: That it's developable. So that when the market conditions are right.
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: It can be developed. Okay. Any other questions?
Councilwoman Tjomhom: I think Vicki had one.
Mayor Furlong: Councilwoman Ernst.
Councilwoman Ernst: Thanks. Paul, as I looked at the Phase I that was prepared, the audit that
was prepared by McCain and Associates for the clean up, was all that completed? It says in
Phase II it showed that the clean up would be performed on the site. And it shows that the gun
range was cleaned up. Does that mean...
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, I can address that. That goes back to Settlers West when, if you look, if
you remember when we reviewed that subdivision we looked at topographically they're
completely separate pieces. While they're under the ownership of the Zwiers so at that time we
decided to work with Eden Prairie to get access to this property and one of the conditions
allowing that access was that they were to get the, shut down the gun range and there was a
telecommunication tower and then we actually worked with the Zwiers family to apply for some
grants to get clean up, to get the lead out. They've done that on their own so that's all been
cleaned up.
Councilwoman Ernst: Okay.
Kate Aanenson: There was a lot of shot in the site.
Councilwoman Ernst: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Thank you. Councilwoman Tjomhom.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: Yeah let's go back to the people that are surrounding Moon Valley.
There aren't really a lot of residential properties.

Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Kate Aanenson: If you go back to that first aerial I think you can see. There is homes on
Lakota. I think go back. There. Yeah. There are the lots on Lakota there. They over, but they
overlook that.
Councilwoman Tjornhom: And this is, I mean this operation went since 2004 correct? I
remember when I was first on the council with the Planning Commission we walked Moon
Valley.
Kate Aanenson: That's yeah, but we walked it because of Settlers West was looking at it.
They've been in operation for a long, long time.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: Longer than that.
Kate Aanenson: Yeah, and Settlers West is now up on top also so that's the other residential
that's on top that has direct impact by that operation.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: And we've never had any complaints?
Kate Aanenson: Well we don't have anybody at the end yet. I think they came in after the
operation. Yeah.
Councilwoman Tjomhom: Okay.
Mayor Furlong: Councilwoman Ernst.
Councilwoman Ernst: I do believe that in the notes it did say that you hadn't received any
complaints as of today, correct?
Kate Aanenson: Although the neighbors did show up and then after the meeting this item was
discussed. A couple other neighbors from Lakota did show up and, we just want to make sure
that there's, you know we do things visually and, you know do things to mitigate the impact on
the noise and that's preserving certain slopes so they don't have to look at it and it helps with the
noise attenuation.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Alright. Any other questions at this time? No? The applicant is here
this evening I believe. Good evening sir.
Rick Murray: Good evening.
Mayor Furlong: If you could come to the podium and state your name and address.
Rick Murray: My name is Rick Murray, 15 Choctaw Circle, Chanhassen. Hello Kate. Good
evening Todd. I was well acquainted with this facility in years past. I'm here this evening not as
a member of Terry Brothers but as a representative.
Mayor Furlong: Okay.
10
Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Rick Murray: The gentleman that was here at the Planning Commission, this is the eve of his
wedding. He is out of town so I'm here to try and answer your questions as best I can. I'm very
familiar with the site. I used to site hunting rifles in there on a regular basis and was there when
the guys in the little white suits were up there combing those hills to try and get all that lead back
out of that sand fill so. When I was talking to Mike about you know this program. Actually
when his dad approached me in '06 it was you know the Moon Valley Rifle Range. I'm going
that is really a pit. I meant a pit. It's amazing now what it looks like and the total, or the
culmination of this plan that's been put together by the staff or I don't know maybe it was before
the staff but culmination of this plan is to have a restored area and it's going to look terrific.
Take just a moment to the hours of operation Mr. Litsey. This time of year you pretty much say
you know you'll start at 10:00, you start at 10:00. Especially this year but in the summertime
when you are moving, it's important to get the machinery started as early as practical. 7:00 has
been, is pretty standard in our industry to get your, you get your superintendents and your
operators there around 6:00-6:30. They do the maintenance and everything on the equipment
and then you're moving material at a reasonable hour in the morning. Saturday operations I
think have always been here in the Moon Valley site. I might be wrong but I think that's true.
Were there any other questions? I'd be happy to try and answer to the best of my knowledge.
Councilman Litsey: No, I understand from a business standpoint the need for that. I just want to
be respectful of the surrounding area.
Rick Murray: Oh absolutely.
Councilman Litsey: And if there isn't any overriding complaints then that's fine and we don't
have any real development going in over the next few years, then have at it. But if it's, if there's
concerns I guess I just want to make sure that we respect those but it doesn't sound like there's.
Rick Murray: Mild irony is the gentleman that developed Settlers West is also the gentleman
that sold Mr. Baier's the gravel pit, the permit. Mild irony.
Councilman Litsey: Thanks.
Councilman McDonald: I've got a question.
Mayor Furlong: Mr. McDonald.
Councilman McDonald: How much longer do you see the operation of this going? We're doing
a 10 year extension at this point. Is part of that to help do the reclamation for the site or will that
not start until after the permit's over?
Rick Murray: No, I think the permit is finished, I mean I think the reclamation needs to be
finished at the end of the permit. So the 10 years does accomplish that as well as we move, I
think the estimate was a million, about a million yards of soil needs to be moved to get it to that,
to get to that place. To be reclaimed.

Chanhassen City Council — September 28, 2009
Councilman McDonald: Okay.
Mayor Furlong: Okay. Very good. Any other questions? No? Very good. Thank you.
Rick Murray: Thank you.
Mayor Furlong: Appreciate it. I think there was a public hearing at the Planning Commission.
Kate Aanenson: That's correct.
Mayor Furlong: Was there not? I don't know if there's anybody here in the council chambers
that would like to provide public comment. I'd certainly provide that opportunitrat this time.
No? Okay. Very good. Thoughts and comments from members of the council. Seems to be a
reasonable request and I think the staff and Planning Commission worked hard to. try to find a
balance. Obviously there's an issue raised here on hours of operation but my sense is that there's

LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City has limited discretion in approving or denying interim use permits, based on whether or
not the proposal meets the excavating, mining, filling and grading standards of City Code and the
conditional use permit standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If the City finds that all the
applicable standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an extension of the interim use permit to mine gravel from the site
located north of Flying Cloud Drive, approximately one mile east of Highway 101. The original
Interim Use Permit was granted on September 27, 2004 to Beatrice Zwiers of Moon Valley
Aggregates, Inc. In 2006, Terry Brothers, Moon Valley, LLC took over the grading, excavation
and slope restoration operation. Terry Brothers has requested that the Interim Use Permit be

extended since there is a decrease in demand for the product due to the economic downturn.
There is approximately one million cubic yards of material to be removed from the site; the
applicant anticipates this will take 10 years to accomplish. Staff has not received complaints
related to the site operations.
The applicant is requesting a 10 -year extension to the interim use permit (IUP) to permit the
excavation, grading, and restoration of the existing mining pit and a future development area west of
the mining pit. The existing IUP had a 5 -year time limit. The operation will require the removal of
approximatelyl.8 million cubic yards of material from the site.
The project site is adjacent to the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area in Eden Prairie. To the
south across County Road 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) are the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge, the
Minnesota River and State Wide Auto Salvage, Inc. To the north are the Hennepin County
Regional Trail and the Settlers West subdivision. Access to the site is proposed via County Road
61.
The proposed site grading and slope restoration will prepare the site for future development when
urban services are available, stabilize the site to reduce run-off and erosion, and permit the
vegetation, especially the trees, to grow between now and the time the site is developed.
A Phase I Environmental Audit dated November 2004 was prepared by McCain and Associates,
Inc. for Moon Valley Aggregates, Inc. This audit pointed out several recognized environmental
issues that needed to be addressed. A Phase H Site Investigation Work Plan was prepared for the
Moon Valley property in July 2005. The Phase Il study spelled out the environmental cleanup that
would be performed on the site. Lead in the gun range was cleaned up. All house structures have
been removed from the site. The house well has been capped.

Chapter 7, Article III. Excavating, Mining, Filling and Grading
Sections 20-231 through 20-237, Conditional Use Permits (Interim use permits are processed in
the same manner as conditional use permits).
BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2004, the Chanhassen City Council approved Interim Use Permit, Planning
Case #04-27 to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration. The NP was good for five years.
February 1996, the city executed an earthwork permit agreement resolving the mining operation and
restoration.
June 22, 1992, the Chanhassen City Council approved an earthwork permit for the mining operation
(IUP #92-4).
ANALYSIS
GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14
September 15, 2009
Page 4 of 10
The applicant has submitted an updated plan showing what areas are untouched, the areas that
are currently being graded, and the areas that have been graded and restored. Staff has requested
a phasing plan, a summary of the quantities removed and a summary of the quantity of remaining
material to be removed. This information shall be submitted annually a minimum of 30 days
before the anniversary of City Council approval.
The applicant is requesting an interim use permit to excavate approximately 1.8 million cubic
yards of material from the site. The goal of the grading is to restore the severe erosion areas on
the site and to leave the site in a condition that will allow future multi -family housing to be
developed. The applicant is proposing to grade down at steep, 401/o (2.5:1) slopes from the high
points on the north and south sides of the property. This will allow a relatively flat area with a
gentle slope of 4% (25:1) to be developed in the center of the property. The flat area will be
developed into multi -family housing sites when municipal sewer and water is extended to the
area in the future. In addition, the severe rutting and erosion gullies that existed on the site will
be restored. Permanent vegetation will be established over all bare soil areas.
Previously, a restoration plan for the main pit area east of the creek had been prepared in 1992
and approved by the city for this site. The 1992 plan proposed to grade approximately 3 acres of
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14
September 15, 2009
Page 5 of 10
bluff area with 3.9 acres of tree removal. The current proposal has approximately 2.6 acres of
bluff grading and 7.3 acres of tree removal. While the new plan does result in more tree loss, the
impact to the bluff area is less than the previously approved plan. Also, the amount of usable or
developable area has been increased from approximately 8.5 to 14 acres. In an effort to try and
preserve more of the mature trees on the site, staff is recommending that grading on the east side
of the creek cease at or above the 756 -foot contour as a condition of approval, and the Grading,
Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan be revised to reflect these changes when the next grading
permit application is submitted. This would preserve approximately 1.6 acres of additional tree
canopy while decreasing the bluff impact from 2.6 to 2.4 acres. Terminating the grading at the
high point would more closely follow the natural drainage pattern in the area. It would also
alleviate the need for additional storm sewer in the future in order to capture the drainage and
route it back to Pond 2. The usable area available would still be 12.4 acres which is nearly four
acres greater than the 1992 plan.
The existing site generally drains from the north to the south. There is an existing creek/wetland
which runs through the center of the site. Eventually, the entire site drains to the Minnesota River
valley through existing culverts under County Road 61 (Flying Cloud Drive). Under proposed
conditions, the entire graded site area will drain to the two proposed ponds on either side of the
creek which divides the site. Pond 1, on the west side of the creek, will outlet to the adjacent
creek and the existing pond (Pond 2) outlets to the County Road 61 ditch. As in the existing
state, the treated storm water will then drain to the Minnesota River valley under County Road
61. Each of the ponds has been designed to NURP standards and sized for the future developed
state of the site. The submitted drainage calculations show that the existing 10- and 100 -year
runoff rates are being met, per City Code. On-site ponding should be adjusted, if necessary, at
the time of site development to meet the City's requirements for proposed build -out conditions.
In the future, when a development proposal is submitted, drainage and utility easements over the
ponds and creek will be required.
Erosion control has been shown on the plan in accordance with the City's Best Management
Practices Handbook (BMPH). Staff would recommend additional Type 1 silt fence in the
southeast comer of the site around the grading limits and around the proposed pond outlet apron.
All disturbed areas as a result of construction are required to be reseeded and mulched within
two weeks of site grading.
If erosion control measures installed in conjunction with this interim use permit are deemed by
the City to be ineffective, the City will inform the applicant in writing of any deficiencies. The
applicant will be required to remedy the deficiencies prior to site development. The required
remedy(ies) may include, but are not limited to: increased frequency of plantings, additional
erosion control blanket, or terracing of the northernmost slope to permanently break up the
length of the slope.
Phasing is a very important management tool for erosion control. Stabilization of the toe (first
150 feet of the slope) is needed immediately upon final grade. Stabilization should continue to be
done in phases. Large portions of the site should not be left exposed over weekends or during
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14

forecasted heavy rains. The slopes should be tracked with a dozer at all times. The dozer should
be run perpendicular to the slope to track the slope. The northeast "comer" of the slope continues
to be an area of instability because storm water concentrates in the swale and could potentially
form a gully. Currently only Type I silt fence has been installed in this area. As a condition of
approval, Type II silt fence is recommended by staff and is shown on the Grading, Drainage, and
Erosion Control Plan, dated August 6, 2004, submitted by the applicant. A terrace, turf
reinforcement mat and slope drain will likely be needed in this area to promote long-term
stability. Due to the steep slopes and long runs of the slope, straw -fiber rolls may be needed to
aid in stabilization of all the slopes with the MnDOT Category 3, 2S wood -fiber blankets. The
fiber rolls would help break up the length of slope and minimize erosion potential of the slope
with the erosion control blankets. Six-inch fiber rolls are needed every 15 to 20 feet. Proper
blanket application is crucial for this site. The blankets must make 100% contact with the soil
and stapled according to manufactures specifications. The staple pattern is vital to proper blanket
function. The blankets should be head trenched as well. Geotextile and riprap or geogrids or
other approved stabilization is needed to provide toe protection; there is a chance the toe of the
2.5 to 1 may start head cutting without toe protection. The seed mix specified (MnDOT 500)
should be changed to MnDOT Native mix 340 (Sandy Mid Height, dry conditions — i.e. south
facing slope). An application rate of 16 pounds per acre is recommended (20 pounds per acre for
hydroseeding or broadcasting). Depending on the final soil used, blanket application may be
difficult. If the soil is too sandy, stapling the blanket over long runs will be futile. `Terracing'
blankets or using strips of blankets with a heavy application of the seed mix (20 pounds per acre)
and hydromulch will be needed.
Silt fence should be installed at least 25 feet away from the toe of the slope to provide storage
and allow the silt fence to function properly. As stated on the plan, the temporary sediment
basins must be installed prior to grading activities. Berms may be needed to divert runoff into the
basins along County Road 61.
Subsurface storm water movement should be considered with surface movement of storm water.
When considering storm water management, installation of draintile at the toe should be
considered to reduce any future possibility of sloughing due to saturation from ground water or
slope seepage.
The applicant should be aware that if excess
material is transported to another site in
Chanhassen, a separate grading permit will be
required for the other property. Permitted
hours of operation will be 7:00 am. to 6:00
p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m. on Saturday with no work permitted
on Sunday or legal holidays. A proposed haul
route must also be submitted as required. In
addition, appropriate signage for hauling along
County Road 61 will be required.

Grading on the east side of the creek must cease at or above the 756 -foot contour and all
disturbed soils must be permanently stabilized and restored in accordance with the Restoration
Plan as specified in the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan dated August 8, 2004.
Grading on the east side of the creek ceases at or above the 756 -foot contour; this must be
reflected on the next plan submittal. Staff inspected the site on August 19, 2009, and the grading
limits and erosion control have been installed at this contour. Terminating the grading at this
elevation would more closely follow the natural drainage pattern in the area. It would also
alleviate the need for additional storm sewer in the future in order to capture the drainage and
route it back to Pond 2. The future developable area available would still be 12.4 acres.
A phasing plan shall be required on an annual basis. The plan shall be subject to City staff
review of conformance with the conditions of the interim use permit. Financial security to
guarantee restoration and erosion control measures will be required with the annual updated
phasing plan. The plan is also subject to administration fees. An administration fee shall be
collected each year and shall be based on the number of cubic yards of material being graded as
identified in the phasing plan. The fees are taken from the Uniform Building Code Appendix,
Chapter 33. The applicant will need to request a formal extension 60 days prior to the expiration
date for the Interim Use Permit.
The applicant must provide the City with a cash escrow or letter of credit in the amount of 110% of
the construction costs for the appropriate phase of the grading operations to guarantee erosion
control measures, site restoration, and compliance with the interim use permit. The amount of the
security shall be established annually and shall be submitted by the anniversary of the date of City
Council approval.
Type II, reinforced silt fence must be installed and maintained at northwest comer of project, and
in all areas specified in the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan. Type II silt fence must
be reinforced using sediment logs, wire backing, or other effective Best Management Practice.
Exposed, unworked soils must continue to be stabilized with temporary or permanent
stabilization BMPs in accordance with the construction sequencing as stated in the Grading,
Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan.
Exposed, unworked erodible soils with positive slopes must continue to be stabilized using
erosion control blanket or alternate effective BMPs according to the Grading, Drainage, and
Erosion Control Plan.
All other sediment and erosion control measures must be in place and maintained according to
the Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan dated August 8, 2004, and phasing plan to be
submitted by applicant.
Tree preservation fencing must be installed at the edge of grading limits. No tree removal is
allowed beyond the 756 contour on the east side of the creek. MnDOT Native Mix 340 be used
for the seeding. All restored slopes shall be planted with trees. The trees shall be bare -root,

Zwiers) for an Interim Use Permit to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration.
On September 15, 2009, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly
scheduled meeting to consider the application of Terry Bros. Moon Valley, LLC and Moon
Valley Aggregates, Inc. (Beatrice Zwiers) for an interim use permit for the property located at
100 and 220 Flying Cloud Drive. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
proposed interim use which was preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned A-2, Agricultural Estate District.
2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for Residential High Density.
3. The legal description of the property is:
All that part of Government Lot 1, Section 36, Township 116, Range 23, Carver County,
Minnesota, which lies northerly of Trunk Highway No. 212;
and,
27 acres in the west half of northeast 1/4 south of the railroad and north of Trunk Highway No.
212, Section 36, Township 116, Range 23, Carver County, Minnesota; 1 acre in Government
Lot 3 north of Trunk Highway 212 being that part of the northwest 1/4 of the northeast 1/4 and
the northeast 1/4 of the northwest 1/4 in Government lots 2 & 3, Section 36, Township 116,
Range 23, Carver County, Minnesota.
4. When approving a conditional use permit, the City must determine the capability of a proposed
development with existing and proposed uses. The general issuance standards of the
conditional use Section 20-232, include the following 12 items:
a. The mining operation will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The site work
will result in the stabilization and re -vegetation of the slope and the reduction in site
erosion.
b. The mining operation will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive
plan and the zoning code by creating a future development area that may be developed
consistently with the land use designation of the property and through the protection and
stabilization of the slopes. The earthwork will be maintaining the site in a form suitable
for residential use which is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and this chapter.
c. The mining operation will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be
compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity
and will not change the essential character of that area because the site will be re -
vegetated and the slopes stabilized reducing site erosion. The aesthetics of the site will be
enhanced with the elimination of the gullies/ravines in the site and the establishment of
site vegetation.
d. The mining operation will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned
neighboring uses because the grading and drainage will be contained within the site
perimeters. Additionally, hours of operation are limited and specific conditions of
approval will be in place and enforced by the city.
e. The mining operation will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services,
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water
and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and
services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the
proposed use since development of the site will be delayed until urban services are
available. The use is temporary which does not need to be served by public facilities and
services. The proposed grading will prepare the site for future development. The
development of the site will require additional city review and approval.
The mining operation will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community since this
is a temporary use. When the site is developed in the future, the development will
enhance the city's economic welfare.
g. The mining operation will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare due to excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors,
rodents, or trash. The proposed grading could result in a temporary increase in traffic,
noise and fumes. The conditions of the approval will provide standards by which the
activities should be minimized.
h. The mining operation will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create
traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. Through
the use of signage, limits on the hours of operation, and if traffic becomes congested,
additional limits on the hours of hauling operation could be instituted, potential traffic
problems will be mitigated.
The mining operation will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access,
natural, scenic or historic features of major significance. The proposal will result in the
removal of some existing canopy. However, the site will be re -vegetated and there will
be less bluff impact vis-a-vis the previously approved gradingtrestoration plan for the site.
j. The mining operation will be aesthetically compatible with the area since the grading and
re -vegetation of the site will improve the site aesthetics.
k. The mining operation will not depreciate surrounding property values since the plan will
improve the site and its impacts on the surrounding properties.
1. The mining operation will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in
Chapter 7, Article III of the Chanhassen City Code.
5. The planning report #09-14 dated September 15, 2009, prepared by Alyson Fauske, et al, is
incorporated herein.
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the interim use
permit to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 15"' day of September, 2009.

Re: Interim Use Permit for Moon Valley
Dear Alyson:
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
RECEIVED

CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT
I am writing to update you on the reclamation of the Moon Valley Gravel pit. I have also included
our Development Review Application.
As you know we started grading Moon Valley in 2006. I will give you some of the highlights of our
progress:
• All lead related to the old Gun range has been removed/neutmlized
• All housing structures have been removed
• The house well has been capped
• The Eastern slope and Northeast comer have been graded and stabilized
• Much of the North slope has been graded
Although much has been accomplished many things remain to be done. As you know there is
approximately I million yards of dirt to be removed from the site. Due to economic conditions, we
have been unable to market this dirt as quickly as anticipated. Therefore, we estimate it will take an
additional 10 years to restore Moon Valley to the agreed upon conditions. During this time we will
continue to restore and stabilize the slopes as well as improve the storm water drainage quality of the
site.
I hope you will take into consideration the progress we have made thus far, and the mutual benefit
the reclamation of the pit brings to us and the City of Chanhassen, and extend our interim use permit.
Sincerely

CITY OF CHANHASSEN
CARVER AND HENNEPIN COUNTIES, MINNESOTA
FINDINGS OF FACT
AND RECOMMENDATION
Application of Terry Bros. Moon Valley, LLC and Moon Valley Aggregates, Inc. (Beatrice
Zwiers) for an Interim Use Permit to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration.
On September 15, 2009, the Chanhassen Planning Commission met at its regularly
scheduled meeting to consider the application of Terry Bros. Moon Valley, LLC and Moon
Valley Aggregates, Inc. (Beatrice Zwiers) for an interim use permit for the property located at
100 and 220 Flying Cloud Drive. The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the
proposed interim use which was preceded by published and mailed notice. The Planning
Commission heard testimony from all interested persons wishing to speak and now makes the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The property is currently zoned A-2, Agricultural Estate District.
2. The property is guided by the Land Use Plan for Residential High Density.
3. The legal description of the property is:
All that part of Government Lot 1, Section 36, Township 116, Range 23, Carver County,
Minnesota, which lies northerly of Trunk Highway No. 212;
and,
27 acres in the west half of northeast '/s south of the railroad and north of Trunk Highway No.
212, Section 36, Township 116, Range 23, Carver County, Minnesota; 1 acre in Government
Lot 3 north of Trunk Highway 212 being that part of the northwest 1/4 of the northeast'/4 and
the northeast 1/4 of the northwest 1/4 in Government lots 2 & 3, Section 36, Township 116,
Range 23, Carver County, Minnesota.
4. When approving a conditional use permit, the City must determine the capability of a proposed
development with existing and proposed uses. The general issuance standards of the
conditional use Section 20-232, include the following 12 items:
a. The mining operation will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The site work
will result in the stabilization and re -vegetation of the slope and the reduction in site
erosion.
SCANNED
b. The mining operation will be consistent with the objectives of the city's comprehensive
plan and the zoning code by creating a future development area that may be developed
consistently with the land use designation of the property and through the protection and
stabilization of the slopes. The earthwork will be maintaining the site in a form suitable
for residential use which is compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and this chapter.
c. The mining operation will be designed, constructed, operated and maintained so to be
compatible in appearance with the existing or intended character of the general vicinity
and will not change the essential character of that area because the site will be re -
vegetated and the slopes stabilized reducing site erosion. The aesthetics of the site will be
enhanced with the elimination of the gullies/ravines in the site and the establishment of
site vegetation.
d. The mining operation will not be hazardous or disturbing to existing or planned
neighboring uses because the grading and drainage will be contained within the site
perimeters. Additionally, hours of operation are limited and specific conditions of
approval will be in place and enforced by the city.
e. The mining operation will be served adequately by essential public facilities and services,
including streets, police and fire protection, drainage structures, refuse disposal, water
and sewer systems and schools; or will be served adequately by such facilities and
services provided by the persons or agencies responsible for the establishment of the
proposed use since development of the site will be delayed until urban services are
available. The use is temporary which does not need to be served by public facilities and
services. The proposed grading will prepare the site for future development. The
development of the site will require additional city review, and approval.
The mining operation will not create excessive requirements for public facilities and
services and will not be detrimental to the economic welfare of the community since this
is a temporary use. When the site is developed in the future, the development will
enhance the city's economic welfare.
g. The mining operation will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment
and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons, property or the
general welfare due to excessive production of traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors,
rodents, or trash. The proposed grading could result in a temporary increase in traffic,
noise and fumes. The conditions of the approval will provide standards by which the
activities should be minimized.
h. The mining operation will have vehicular approaches to the property which do not create
traffic congestion or interfere with traffic or surrounding public thoroughfares. Through
the use of signage, limits on the hours of operation, and if traffic becomes congested,
additional limits on the hours of hauling operation could be instituted, potential traffic
problems will be mitigated.
2
i. The mining operation will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of solar access,
natural, scenic or historic features of major significance. The proposal will result in the
removal of some existing canopy. However, the site will be re -vegetated and there will
be less bluff impact vis -ii -vis the previously approved grading/restoration plan for the site.
j. The mining operation will be aesthetically compatible with the area since the grading and
re -vegetation of the site will improve the site aesthetics.
k. The mining operation will not depreciate surrounding property values since the plan will
improve the site and its impacts on the surrounding properties.
1. The mining operation will meet standards prescribed for certain uses as provided in
Chapter 7, Article III of the Chanhassen City Code.
5. The planning report #09-14 dated September 15, 2009, prepared by Alyson Fauske, et al, is
incorporated herein.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council approve the interim use
permit to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration.
ADOPTED by the Chanhassen Planning Commission this 15s' day of September, 2009.

Alyson Fauske presented the staff report on this item.
Larson: Would you like to start?
Undestad: Just one. I mean over the years has everything been going good?
Fauske: It's been going very well. We've had, I think maybe two phone calls I've ever taken
and it was with regards to the truck traffic and I've called Terry Bros and they have been very
responsive to the concerns of the citizens so that's, you know in a 5 year, 10 year I think that's,
they've been very responsive.
Doll: I have no questions.
Laufenburger: What's the long range plan for this property?
ecmfto
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Fauske: Ultimately it will be available for redevelopment. It's not within the current WSA.
Sanitary sewer service to this area is a challenge, to say the least. A lift station unfortunately
would have to go down Highway 101 but ultimately it would be available for redevelopment.
Laufenburger: Okay. No other questions.
Larson: Kathleen?
Thomas: No, I don't have any questions.
Larson: Dan?
Keefe: I've got a couple. Is it a 5 year extension or is it a 10 year extension? It says in the
report 10 years but is the total time 10 years?
Fauske: I believe the total time is 10 years. I apologize. I misspoke earlier.
Keefe: So 5 year extension from today? Or how.
Fauske: 10 year.
Generous: From council approval.
Keefe: Okay so, just give me a timeline just a little bit.
Fauske: I apologize. I misspoke.
Keefe: We've been doing it for how long?
Fauske: The original plan was in, yeah. '96 was the first. Pardon me, `92 was the first year that
it was a permitted mining operation.
Keefe: Okay. And then we're under the start of, I mean would, the start of the period we're
under started when? Because then we're asking extension to that? I'm just trying to.
Fauske: Sure. The last interim use permit was in 2004 so I'm sorry, I misspoke. That was a 5
year interim use permit. Now before you is a 10 year interim use permit.
Keefe: Extension which would go on top of the one that was granted in '04.
Fauske: Which would extend it to 2019.
Keefe: And we don't expect that, because there was some plan which came through on this as I
recall a few years back that somebody was.
Aanenson: Yeah, can you go a few slides back.
arl.,1,34 2
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Keefe: You know thinking about doing something over there.
Aanenson: Yeah. We looked at that as part of the comprehensive plan. It is guided for high
density. Now that we've got the County Road 61.
Keefe: Yeah, I remember that.
Aanenson: That's something that we're working on. Looking at as access points. The
underlying property owner also has property to the east of this so there's a large piece, so we
looked at that as a potential mixed use project because it has access onto a collector road so that
isn't, so as part of this there is an ultimately reclamation plan and they're following that with the
grading so we're left with something that has development potential. And that's what the
Assistant City Engineer is talking about that, following that grading plan and that's what we're
checking in on to make sure that we're consistent with that so we're left with something that can
be developed in the future.
Keefe: Yeah. We don't expect, what happens if somebody comes in and says now's the time to
do it over the next 10 years? Are we locked out from doing anything?
Aanenson: Well we've had that request from Eden Prairie that they could potentially service that
or something but it's really for us. We don't believe it's right for development. We want to be
the one to service it. Again as Alyson mentioned, we don't have utilities that far south yet so as
a part of this, if you look at the, all the property along that 61 corridor. The bottom of the Y.
There's a lot of development but if we let that all kind of break away, there's not enough then to
form enough development potential to make it economically feasible down there.
Keefe: Yeah.
Aanenson: So we want to do that in a comprehensive, cohesive way so the first thing that we
want to do, besides getting the Y fixed, is look at where those access points should be along
County Road 61. But if you go, we looked at that with their 101 corridor study for some
potential access points so that's something that we have on our radar screen, planning and
engineering, to be working on in the short term.
Keefe: Yeah. So we don't really see this, any of that happen, I mean planning for it will happen.
Aanenson: Well.
Keefe: Maybe while it's going on but there's not going to be any development on this.
Aanenson: No, because as Alyson mentioned development slowed down and we're not going to
be down that far. The first thing we've got to do is get the lift station up north off of the Powers
project that we talked about to come down and there will be another lift station at the bottom so
we're a ways out yet so we feel really confident with 10 years. It could be 10 years plus.

Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Keefe: It might be more.
Aanenson: Yeah.
Keefe: Okay. Okay. Where's the material going? Do we know? What are they using it, is it
roadways or gravel roadways?
Fauske: The applicant is here tonight and he would probably be able to give you a good
indication of his clients.
Keefe: Yeah. And then is any coming back into the site?
Fauske: I believe they strip the top soil and the top soil that they salvage, that can be re -spread
across the site but again the applicant could probably further expand on that.
Keefe: Are there any issues with stuff coming back into it? I mean they're just going to re -use
what's already there.
Fauske: That's my understanding.
Keefe: Okay. Alright, that's all.
Larson: Okay. Well I just have a couple. I'm just looking at the picture that you've got up here.
This trails and road. Is there development on that right now?
Fauske: Yes. That's correct. That's the Settlers West development that came in 5 years ago.
Larson: Okay. I mean it looks like empty lots from here but.
Fauske: They're slowly filling in. Some of the, one of the lots on the southern end of the cul-de-
sac was recently purchased and I believe they have a building permit application in.
Larson: So is that Hennepin or Carver?
Fauske: That is Carver County.
Larson: It is. Okay.
Aanenson: It gets access to that subdivision actually through Eden Prairie. Maybe you
remember when that subdivision was coming in, we went out and walked that property. I think
that's ... we talked about this.
Keefe: Yeah, right ... great view.
Aanenson: That we do have preservation of bluff around that. Maybe you can point to that
Alyson. The green kind of around that, that was a bluff area. We preserved on the east side of
n
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
that and to the west going towards Eden Prairie there's a ravines on both of those that we
preserved. And then on the backs of those lots was a swale created so we didn't have direct
runoff into this area. And part of the original reclamation plan with this is to re-establish that
slope with our bluff ordinance up against that property.
Larson: So that doesn't affect our property that requested.
Aanenson: Right, right. And kind of how this discussion started is, Eden Prairie wanted, the
developer wanted to develop that part of the property so in looking at how would we service that
piece of property, would we really try to go up the road? Try to bring a road from the bottom to
the top. We said no. Topographically it really needs to be serviced off of Pioneer so that's when
we started working with Eden Prairie to service that property through, while it's in our
jurisdiction, the sewer and water, that part's coming from Eden Prairie because we just felt like,
the topography didn't work so that didn't make sense. But certainly on the bottom half, we want
to tie the rest of that to everything coming through the city. So yes, we did go out there and walk
all that. That's probably you're remembering the discussions about that. That's been a few
years though.
Keefe: I liked that though, yeah.
Aanenson: Yeah.
Larson: Okay. And the only other question I had is regarding the annual, let's see here. Phasing
plan. Summary of the quantities removed. How does that work? I mean they just say okay this
is what we did last year and this we expect to do? And then you re-evaluate, I mean does it get
re-evaluated or.
Fauske: Technically what we wanted to do. Originally we looked at, the City just felt that we
should have some understanding of how much material's being moved off the site so we can
gauge at what point do we expect that mining operation to shut down. So the interim use permit
would allow them for 10 years but it's just a nice check and balance between the applicant and
the city to have that, at least one time a year communication so that we know what's going on.
We can touch base. What areas are being restored so that if a call does come in to City Hall we
are aware of what's going on through there.
Larson: Okay. So you know if things heat up in the building industry and things, they get this
maybe done in 8 years instead of 10, then it could be re-evaluated and then ended or whatever?
Fauske: Correct, and the other reason behind the annual review of material being removed is, as
the economy flexes and the material being removed from the site, their expected removals from
year to year change, we can have an up to date security, cash security in hand so that it's not
financially onerous on the applicant to post the entire financial security at once. That we can
have it changing year to year according to what their anticipated removals are.
Larson: Alright. Any more questions that we have? Alright, have we got an applicant?
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Michael Baier: B commission. This is, I'm Michael Baier and I'm representing Terry Bros and
then through that I representing the land owner at Moon Valley and just want to maybe clarify a
couple of things. Number one, this is a mining operation but not like you would think of.
Basically what happened is this, in '92 it seems when the history it was a mining operation and
much of the slopes were basically left mined out where they went straight up and down. We
became aware of the project when we did the earthwork in Settlers West and had seen that and
then at that cul-de-sac that you had been talking about, that was actually over cut and it was
actually into that development and we had talked to the landowners at the time about restoring
that particular slope there and kind of went on and talked about restoring that area so. So
basically it is mining but with the idea of restoring the slopes and that land and not just having
them go straight up and down which is what was going on in the past was a strip mining
operation. And so with that in mind, with the grading plan that we received, it requires that a
million, approximately a million yards has to come off the site in order to do that restoration so
we are mining but it's kind of restoring and mining with in mind to reach that grading plan so.
Any questions?
Laufenburger: What are the materials that you're mining?
Michael Baier: Mainly sand, although top soil and clay are also present there, but there's more
of a market for sand. I think somebody had asked the market. The market is mainly roadways
and commercial buildings for their, for the pads for soil corrections and things like that. That's
the main goal and we have you know a variety of clients as a result of that. One thing too maybe
to clarify is that we'd love to get done with it in a year. That means ... so believe me the 10 years
isn't to extend it for us and we'd love to do it in a year so.
Larson: Okay.
Laufenburger: Actually I do have one other question. Your name again was?
Michael Baier: Michael Baier.
Laufenburger: Michael. One of the stipulations or, let me get to it. One of the
recommendations talks about a driveway access to 230 and 240 Erie Avenue be maintained at all
times. Where is that on the property?
Michael Baier: That's on that, she'll put that up. That's on that second parcel to the west.
Laufenburger: Ah, okay.
Michael Baier: So that's, we haven't been active in that area. There's not anything interesting
as far as mining materials there. It's mainly top soil and a mixture of stuff so that's something
we'll do at the end. So we haven't affected at all any of those driveway accesses, but when we
do for the drainage and things like that, that's definitely something we'll do.
Laufenburger: Okay, thank you.
6 �i
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Larson: Anyone else? Okay.
Michael Baier: Thanks for your time.
Larson: Thank you. I'll bring it back to. Let's see have we got anybody.
Aanenson: You want to formally open the public hearing.
Larson: What's that?
Aanenson: Just state, just formally open the public hearing.
Larson: Formally open the public hearing. If there's anybody in the audience who'd like to get
up and speak. Okay.
Dan Tester: I'm Dan Tester and I live at 230 Flying Cloud Drive and I just, I'm here to see
what's, kind of what's going on with this and I guess I have a couple of questions or concerns
and that's about the, well when this all started and came to the meeting, I don't know what it
was, 5 years ago or 4 years ago and I had no idea that it was going to be like it is. Or that you
know everything was went over in the meeting but seeing an entire bluff removed like it is, it's
kind of weird that you can remove an entire bluff like that. But that's the way it is but now I'm
wondering, is there any more of the bluff going to be removed in the plans? Like on the, along
the highway.
Michael Baier: Maybe you can tell me the area you're talking about.
Dan Tester: This area, is this where it is presently? Right up to here. Has this been mined back
here?
Michael Baier: No, and actually as far as the elevation, that top elevation remains the same. So
basically what it is, is the slope is just getting basically just kind of grooved in. As far as any
height or whatever it doesn't lose any height in that area.
Dan Tester: Okay, and my concern is this, what's left here. It's a big hill here and is that going
to be removed?
Michael Baier: That hill remains. Yep, that hill remains. Yep.
Dan Tester: Alright.
Michael Baier: Yeah, if you see that white line right there, that's the end of the grading limit and
that's on top of that hill.
Dan Tester: Is that kind of where it is right now or do you?
7
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Michael Baier: Right. Yep. That's as far as it goes. And then as far as slope removal,
everything to that north and to the east, that was done before we were involved and actually
that's the part of the slopes that we're actually restoring. So where they were cut straight up and
down, like I said and that's the part that we're restoring so. And that area that you see that right
there basically what we have done is we've mined sand in that area and then we'll be placing it
with topsoils and stuff and planting trees and things there so, to restore that area. So it won't go
any further towards the road and it won't go any lower in elevation.
Dan Tester: Okay. The reason I ask is because it's kind of changed the weather down there and
the noise a little bit. We hear the traffic coming through here but there's a big hill here. There's
a big hill here. We hear the traffic as it goes through here and then nothing, and now we can
hear it when they get traffic gets around here. Sometimes we can hear it coming through here
and if this was all going to be removed, you know that would be kind of a, not a good deal for us.
Michael Baier: Yeah, if you can see everything again on the outside of the white line will not be
touched.
Dan Tester: And then it's windier down there than it has been in the past because of that thing,
you know which is, we can live with that and with what's been going on, it's been okay but
those, that was my main concern. And then this here, this is the first time I've seen that there's
going to be mining up here.
Michael Baier: Yeah, there won't be any mining in there actually. I think that's, I don't know
why that was added and I wasn't involved in the beginning stage for this plan. I think that was
added for drainage purposes there. As far as any interesting soils there for me, personally I'd
prefer not to do it, but it's part of the plan and I guess if that's something that you guys were
interested in taking a look at, I don't know the history behind why that was added.
Dan Tester: Because I don't remember it being there in any of the other meetings.
Michael Baier: So to me again, you know I came on and that was part of the grading plan I was
given so. And again I think that was more for drainage. For adding that pond and again
protecting that creek there so.
Dan Tester: And there is no plan for this for 10 years or 15 years for working in here, like this
pond here? That is not anything current?
Michael Baier: Towards the end of the permit, again like I said, that's not an interesting area for
us so we would prefer to do that at the end.
Aanenson: There's a creek that runs through there so there's probably some jurisdictional
controls regarding erosion next to the creek and setback requirements so that would be a whole
separate thing we'd have to evaluate.
Chanhassen Planning Commission — September 15, 2009
Michael Baier: Yeah, my guess is that was again added there for, there to protect any runoff
from the creek and it's probably something that's probably been needed to be done for years and
they added that as a requirement. But again I can't speak on it's history.
Dan Tester: Well, that's all. Thank you.
Larson: Thank you Dan. Okay, I see there's nobody else so we will close the public hearing.
Anybody have any comments?
Keefe: Good with it.
Larson: Yep, me too.
Larson: Okay. Well, shall I entertain a motion?
Keefe: Sure. I'll make a motion. The Chanhassen Planning Commission recommend City
Council approve an Interim Use Permit Planning Case #09-14 to permit grading, excavation and
slope restoration as proposed on the plans prepared by Sathre-Berquist Inc. dated July 30, 2009
subject to conditions 1 through 20 on pages 8 to 10 of the staff report.
Larson: Have I got a second?
Undestad: Second.
Keefe moved, Undestad seconded that the Chanhassen Planning Commission recommend

5.8 Requirements for Discharging to Wetlands:
Page 7
Permit #: MNG490000
If the site has any discharges with the potential for significant adverse impacts to a wetland (e.g., conversion of a
natural wetland to a stormwater pond), the Permittee must demonstrate that the wetland mitigative sequence has
been followed.
If the potential adverse impacts to a wetland on a specific site have been addressed by permits or other approvals
from an official statewide program (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 program, Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources, or the State of Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act) that are issued specifically for the site,
the Permittee may use the permit or other determination issued by these agencies to show that the potential
adverse impacts have been addressed. For the purposes of this permit, deminimus actions are determinations by
the permitting agency that address the site impacts, whereas a non jurisdictional determination does not address
site impacts.
5.9 If there are impacts from the site that are not addressed in one of the permits or other determinations (e.g.,
permanent inundation or flooding of the wetland, significant degradation of water quality, excavation, filling,
draining), the Permittee must minimize all adverse impacts to wetlands by utilizing appropriate measures.
Measures used must be based on the nature of the wetland, its vegetative community types and the established
hydrology. These measures include in order of preference:
a. Avoid all significant adverse impacts to wetlands from site discharges.
b. Minimize any unavoidable impacts to wetlands from site discharges.
c. Provide compensatory mitigation when the Permittee determines that there is no reasonable and practicable
alternative to having a significant adverse impact on a wetland. For compensatory mitigation, wetland
restoration or creation shall be of the same type, size and whenever reasonable and practicable in the same
watershed as the impacted wetland:

7050.0470, and/or to trout waters as listed in Minn. R. 6264.0050, subp. 2 and 4, the following additional Best
Management Practices (BMPs) apply:
a. All exposed soil areas with a slope of 3:1 or steeper, that have a continuous positive slope to a ORV W or
trout waters must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover within 3 days after the area is no longer
actively being worked. All other slopes that have a continuous positive slope to a ORV W or trout waters must
have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover within seven (7) days after the area is no longer actively
being worked.
b. Temporary sediment basin requirements must be used for common drainage locations that serve an area with
five (5) or more acres disturbed at one time.
C. The water quality volume that must be treated by the site's stormwater management system shall be one (1)
inch of runoff from the new impervious surfaces created at the site,
d. An undisturbed buffer zone of not less than 100 linear feet from the receiving water (not including
tributaries) shall be maintained at all times. Exceptions from this requirement for areas, such as water crossings
or limited water access, are allowed if the Permittee fully documents in the Plan the circumstances and reasons
that the buffer encroachment is necessary. All potential water quality, scenic and other environmental impacts
of these exceptions must be minimized and documented in the Plan for the site.

5.11 For stormwater discharges within 2000 feet of those ORV Ws identified in Minn. R. 7050.0180 subp. 3, 4, and 5,
Minn. R. 7050.0470, and trout lakes identified in Minn. R. 6264.0050 subp.2 the stormwater management
system must be designed such that the pre and post project runoff rate and volume from the 1 and 2 -year 24-hour
precipitation events remains the same. .
5.12 For stormwater discharges within 2000 feet of trout streams as listed in 6264.0050 subp. 4, the following
additional BMPs for temperature controls apply:
The stormwater management system must be designed such that the discharge from the site will minimize any
increase in the temperature of trout stream receiving waters resulting from the 1 and 2 -year 24-hour precipitation
events. This includes all tributaries of designated trout streams within the section that the trout stream is
located. Sites that discharge to trout streams must minimize the impact using one or more of the following.
measures, in order of preference:
a. Minimize new impervious surfaces.
b. Minimize the discharge from connected impervious surfaces by discharging to vegetated areas, or grass
swales, and through the use of other non-structural controls.
c. Infiltration or evapotranspiration of runoff in excess of pre -project conditions (up to the 2 -year 24-hour
precipitation event).
d. If ponding is used, the design must include an appropriate combination of measures -such as shading, filtered
bottom withdrawal, vegetated swale discharges or constructed wetland treatment celli that will limit temperature
increases. The pond should be designed to draw down in 24 hours or less.
e. Other methods that will minimize any increase in the temperature of the trout stream.
Erosion Prevention Practices
5.13 The Permittee must plan for and implement appropriate phasing, vegetative buffer strips, horizontal slope
grading, and other practices that minimize erosion. The location of areas not to be disturbed must be delineated
(e.g. with flags, stakes, signs, silt fence etc.) on the site before work begins.
5.14 All exposed soil areas with a continuous positive slope that pose a risk of sediment discharge to waters (not
including water inside the pit), must have temporary erosion protection or permanent cover for the exposed soil
areas year round, according to the following slopes and time frames:
Type of Slope Time (Maximum time an area can remain open
when the area is not actively being worked.)
Steeper than 3:1 7 days
10:1 to 3:1 14 days
Flatter than 10:1 21 days
These areas include constructed stormwater management pond side slopes, and any exposed soil areas with a
positive slope to a stormwater conveyance system, such as a curb and gutter system, storm sewer inlet,
temporary or permanent drainage ditch or other natural or man-made systems that discharge to a surface water.
5.15 The normal wetted perimeter of any temporary or permanent drainage ditch that drains water from a site, or
diverts water around a site, must be stabilized within 200 lineal feet from the property edge, or from the point of
discharge to any surface water. Stabilization must be completed within 24 hours of connecting to a surface
water.
5.16 Pipe outlets must be provided with temporary or permanent energy dissipation within 24 hours of connection to
a surface water.

Sediment Control Practices
Page 9
Permit #: MNG490000
5.17 Sediment control practices must minimize sediment from entering surface waters, including curb and gutter
systems and storm sewer inlets.
a. Sediment control practices must be established on all down gradient perimeters before any upgradient land
disturbing activities begin. These practices shall remain in place until final stabilization has been established.
b._ If the down gradient treatment system is overloaded, additional upgradient sediment control practices must be
installed to eliminate the overloading, and the Pollution Prevention Plan must be amended to identify these
additional practices.
5.18 The timing of the installation of sediment control practices may be adjusted to accommodate short-term
activities such as clearing or grubbing, or passage of vehicles. Any short-term activity must be completed as
quickly as possible and the sediment control practices must be installed immediately after the activity is
completed. However, sediment control practices must be installed before the next precipitation event even if the
activity is not complete.
5.19 All storm drain inlets must be protected by appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) until all sources
with potential for discharging to the inlet have been stabilized.
5.20 Temporary erodable stockpiles or strippings/overburden stored outside the pit must have silt fence or other
effective sediment controls, and cannot be placed in surface waters, including stormwater conveyances_ such as
curb and gutter systems, or conduits and ditches.
5.21 Vehicle tracking of sediment onto paved surfaces from the site or operation must be minimized by BMPs such as
stone pads, concrete or steel wash racks, or equivalent systems. Street sweeping must be used if such BMPs are
not adequate to prevent sediment from being tracked onto the street.
i
5.22 Where ten (10) or more acres of disturbed soil drain to a common location, a sediment basin must be provided
prior to the runoff leaving the site or entering surface waters. The Permittee is encouraged, but not required, to
install temporary sediment basins where appropriate in areas with steep slopes or highly erodible soils even if
less than ten (10)'acres drains to one area. The basins must be designed and constructed according to the
following requirements:
a. The basins must provide storage below the outlet pipe for a calculated volume of runoff from a 2 year, 24
hour storm from each acre drained to the basin, except that in no case shall the basin provide less than 1800
cubic feet of storage below the outlet pipe from each acre drained to the basin.
b. Where no such calculation has been performed, a sediment basin providing 3,600 cubic feet of storage below
the outlet pipe per acre drained to the basin, shall be provided where attainable until final stabilization of the site.
c. Temporary basin outlets must be designed to prevent short-circuiting and the discharge of floating debris.
The basin must be designed with the ability to allow complete basin drawdown (e.g., perforated riser pipe
wrapped with filter fabric and covered with crushed gravel, pumps or other means) for maintenance activities,
and provide a stabilized emergency overflow to prevent failure of pond integrity. Energy dissipation must be
provided for the basin outlet.
d. Where the sediment basin is not attainable due to site limitations, equivalent sediment controls such as
smaller basins, and/or sediment traps, silt fences, vegetative buffer strips, or any appropriate measures are
required for all down slope boundaries of the area and for those side slope boundaries deemed appropriate by
individual site conditions.
5.23 In determining whether installing a sediment basin is attainable, the Permittee must consider public safety and
may consider factors such as site soils, slope, and available area on site. This determination must be
documented in the Pollution Prevention Plan.

5.24 All nonfunctional BMPs must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented with functional BMPs. The Permittee
must investigate and comply with the following requirements:
a. All silt fences must be repaired, replaced, or supplemented when they become nonfunctional or the sediment
reaches 1/3 of the height of the fence.
b. If utilizing sedimentation basins, the basins must be drained and the sediment removed when the depth of
sediment collected in the basin reaches 1/2 the storage volume.
c. Surface waters, including drainage ditches and conveyance systems, must be inspected for evidence of
sediment being deposited by erosion. The Permittee must remove all deltas and sediment deposited in surface
waters, including drainage ways, catch basins, and other drainage systems, and re -stabilize the areas where
sediment removal results in exposed soil. This removal and stabilization must take place unless precluded by
legal, regulatory, or physical access constraints. The Permittee shall use all reasonable efforts to obtain access.
If precluded, removal and stabilization must take place within seven calendar days of obtaining access. The
Permittee is responsible for contacting all local, regional, state and federal authorities and receiving any
applicable permits prior to conducting any work.
d. Tracked sediment onto offsite paved surfaces must be removed.
e. All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that no sediment from ongoing activities is reaching the
infiltration area and these areas are protected from compaction due to equipment driving across the infiltration
area.

7.0 Conclusions
McCain and Associates, Inc. performed this Assessment in conformance with ASTM Practice E 1527.
The Assessment was conducted from June through November 2004. No evidence of hazardous waste (or
petroleum) disposal or release was observed. No testing or subsurface investigation was performed for this
Phase I ESA.
The Assessment revealed evidence of recognized environmental conditions (RECs) on the Property as
defined by ASTM E 1527-00. Each condition is summarized below and the approximate location of each
is shown on Figure 3.
7.1 Recognized Environmental Conditions
7.1.1 Former Gun Ranges
Scattered pellets have been observed on the ground in portions of the Property as well as along the
northern boundary of the Property with Outlot G of the Settler's West Subdivision. The pellets are a
recyclable scrap metal in the context of a gun range site. However, when exposed to weathering, they may
leach lead and other trace heavy metals including arsenic, antimony, tin, and zinc into soils. Pellets were
observed mainly in an area within and area bout 300 to 600 feet of the trap range firing line. This area is
shown on Figure 3 as the "accumulation zone" for the trap range. Pellet counts of 25 to over 100 pellets
per square foot were reported in this area as shown on Figure 3 and previously reported by McCain
(2004a).
• Approximately 100 cubic yards of shattered clay targets are located in the target drop zone on the
trap range (Figure 3); there is evidence of additional targets on the ground surface within 100
yards of the trap range firing line. Clay target areas can contain mercury and polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs).
• Approximately 40 to 50% of the ground surface within the backstop and forestop berms for the
pistol and rifle ranges were observed to contain bullet fragments. The four berms constitute
approximately 300 yards of soil that is likely to be impacted by lead.
• Numerous spent brass, steel, and aluminum ammunition casings are present at near the pistol and
rifle range firing line. Casings can contain leachable quantities of lead, arsenic, copper, chromium,
tin, and zinc.
• Erosion from the trap, pistol, and rifle ranges has carried sediment down slope from each location.
Sediment from these areas may have been affected by heavy metals. Sediments have also
accumulated in the main stormwater pond located west of the abandoned house, within the pistol
range, and in the parking lot area.
7.1.2 Other Recognized Environmental Conditions
There are also several recognized environmental conditions that are not directly related to the gun range
operation. These include:
• There is an approximately 1 acre area of white clayey soil is located in the northwest portion of the
mine and partially buried within the trap range accumulation zone. The material is unidentified,
but appears to be agricultural lime or lime solids from water treatment.

and Assocp2s, Fic.
• The slopes at the site have been backfilled with a variety of soil materials. Many fill types are
considered inert even if they exhibit a small percentage of extraneous (non -soil) material such as
construction demolition rubble. Most of the fill at the site appears to be inert fill. However, the
north central area of the Property exhibits numerous fragments (generally less than 6 inches) of
brick, wood, concrete, and asphalt. Although demolition debris is not necessarily an
environmental condition, the presence of any imported fill material from an unknown source
suggests the potential for a REC.
• The pole -mounted transformer near the trap range has staining on its exterior and may have been
leaking in the past. The contents of the transformer should be tested for PCBs to determine
appropriate handling during future development of the property.
• Oil -filled and electrical equipment are stored on the site. This includes various appliances dumped
in the east lot, the semi -truck trailers are likely to have axle oils, and there is an old air conditioner
or fan in the window of the work trailer in the parking lot that may contain chlorofluorocarbons.
The semi -truck trailers likely contain axle oils and grease but are only a potential source of oil if
they are abandoned at the property. The owner has indicated that they are only stored temporarily
and will be removed in the near future.
• There are two unregistered wells of unknown depth are located northwest of the ski
chalettabandoned house. The well nearest the house is equipped with a spigot valve and hose with
no pump. The valve is leaking and the soil around the well is saturated indicating that this may be
a flowing well.
• The second well is a 6 -inch well located adjacent to a low area a few feet south of the trap range
firing line. A partially buried drum is located near the well.
• The abandoned house, old shed/trailer, range office, and rifle house may contain lead dust residue,
lead paint, asbestos, mercury switches, fluorescent bulbs etc. These materials should be assessed as
part of a building assessment prior to demolition or removal of the structures.
• There is evidence of fugitive dumping and abandoned containers east of the parking lot. The
containers contain several drams, buckets, and at least one storage tank. All of the containers are
believed to be empty or near empty. An industrial lead -acid battery is located on the south side of
the scale house.
• One above -ground storage tank is located by the scale house trailer and south of the sedimentation
pond. Its contents if, any, are unknown.

3.0 Voluntary Response Action Plan (VRAP)
This VRAP has been prepared based on the results of the investigation and specific guidance for
gun range sites (TTRC, 2003). The goals of the VRAP are:
• Remove soil from areas exhibiting the target threshold of 270 mg/kg for lead and 1.4
mg/kg for PAHs as described for the Phase II Investigation
• Remove contamination so that remaining fill materials can be moved, mixed, and
relocated without limitation, both on site as fill and off-site as mined aggregate product.
• Confirm and document by testing that the lead and PAHs have been removed from the
areas identified and at concentrations below the Tier I SRVs.
• Confirm and document by testing that the ground surface at final grade is below
residential standards.
The soil in areas exceeding residential risk-based clean up standards will likely be excavated and
stockpiled on site for testing by Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedures (TCLP). Soils that
leach greater than 5 mg/kg lead will be stabilized on site and retested. Lead -contaminated soils
that are non -hazardous will be disposed of in a permitted solid waste facility and beneficially
utilized as daily cover.
All structures will be abated as required and disposed of at an off-site permitted solid waste
facility. The Response Action Implementation report will be submitted within 30 days of the
completion of remediation activities.
3.1 Evaluation of Remediation Alternatives
The following sections provide additional details and describe the basis for the VRAP
summarized above. Off-site removal and disposal of contaminated soil is the presumptive
remedy for gun range sites. However, in order to develop and effective response action several
alternatives and variables were considered as described below.
3.1.1 Presumptive Remedy
The presumptive remedy for removal of lead from the site is by excavation and disposal.
Soils will be stockpiled and segregated based upon excavated area location. Rifle range
backstop soils, rifle range floor soils, pistol range backstop soils, pistol range floor, and trap
range soils will be maintained in separate soil stockpiles. The soils will be sampled for TCLP
and transported off-site to a permitted facility if they pass. Stockpiles that fail the TCLP test will
stabilized on site and retested. Any soils that fail the TCLP test after stabilization will be
transported to Onyx Environmental Services permitted treatment and stabilization facility in
Menominee Falls, Wisconsin.

October 21, 2005
3.1.2 Other Alternatives Considered
Several options were evaluated to address high concentration lead soils and to avoid failure of
TCLP tests. A summary of these options is included in rIRC guidance documents (2003)
particularly with regard to recovery of elemental lead as scrap metal and treating contaminated
soils that fail TCLP leach testing.
3.1.2.1 Recycling
Removing elemental lead prior to TCLP testing for recycling purposes is an effective means of
reducing the lead mass within the soils. For the Moon Valley site, the overall amount of
recoverable lead concentrated in the backstop berms is estimated to be approximately 20 tons
assuming that the berms have approximately 1000 tons of soil and are composed of 2% bullet
fragments on average (based on visual estimates). At the estimated rate of 5 cents per pound
recycle value, the lead would be worth less than $2000. The cost of screening and/or sluicing the
lead to separate it from soil which would likely require at least 2 days of contractor time, special
equipment, and mobilization at an estimated cost of at least $5000. Comparing to the recycling
value to the cost of processing, this does not appear to be a cost-effective option.
Similarly, there are few areas of the trap range that exhibit sufficiently elevated concentrations of
visible lead. The economic viability of these areas for recycling is even less compelling than the
example above for the rifle ranges.
3.1.2.2 Soil Washing
Washing of the soils to remove elemental lead and adsorbed lead from soil is also an effective
means of reducing overall lead concentrations. The disadvantage of this method is that a lined
holding basin would be required to capture the sediments and water used for the washing
operation. Even without additives to enhance lead removal, the process would be prohibitively
expensive for the volume of soil involved and compared to solid waste disposal as in the
example above.
3.2 Response Action Plan Description
The remedial action for the Site will consist of the following major task items:
• Excavation and removal of lead/PAH contaminated soils
• Building Demolition
• Miscellaneous Trash and Debris Removal
• Sealing of water wells
• Removal of electrical transformers
• Erosion control

Re: Interim Use Permit for Moon Valley
Dear Alyson:
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
RECEIVED

CHANHASSEN PLANNING DEPT
I am writing to update you on the reclamation of the Moon Valley Gravel pit. I have also included
our Development Review Application.
As you know we started grading Moon Valley in 2006. I will give you some of the highlights of our
progress:
• All lead related to the old Gun range has been removed/neutralized
• All housing structures have been removed
• The house well has been capped
• The Eastern slope and Northeast comer have been graded and stabilized
• Much of the North slope has been graded
Although much has been accomplished many things remain to be done. As you know there is
approximately 1 million yards of dirt to be removed from the site. Due to economic conditions, we
have been unable to market this dirt as quickly as anticipated. Therefore, we estimate it will take an
additional 10 years to restore Moon Valley to the agreed upon conditions. During this time we will
continue to restore and stabilize the slopes as well as improve the storm water drainage quality of the
site.
I hope you will take into consideration the progress we have made thus far, and the mutual benefit
the reclamation of the pit brings to us and the City of Chanhassen, and extend our interim use permit.
Sincerely,
Michael G. Baier

2020 LAND USE PLAN: Residential — High Density (net density range 8 —16 units per acre)
ACREAGE: 72.24 acres DENSITY: N/A
LEVEL OF CITY DISCRETION IN DECISION-MAKING:
The City has limited discretion in approving or denying interim use permits, based on whether or
not the proposal meets the excavating, mining, filling and grading standards of City Code and the
conditional use permit standards outlined in the Zoning Ordinance. If the City finds that all the
applicable standards are met, the permit must be approved. This is a quasi-judicial decision.
PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting an extension of the interim use permit to mine gravel from the site
located north of Flying Cloud Drive, approximately one mile east of Highway 101. The original
Interim Use Permit was granted on September 27, 2004 to Beatrice Zwiers of Moon Valley
Aggregates, Inc. In 2006, Terry Brothers, Moon Valley, LLC took over the grading, excavation
and slope restoration operation. Terry Brothers has requested that the Interim Use Permit be

extended since there is a decrease in demand for the product due to the economic downturn.
There is approximately one million cubic yards of material to be removed from the site; the
applicant anticipates this will take 10 years to accomplish. Staff has not received complaints
related to the site operations.
The applicant is requesting a 10 -year extension to the interim use permit (IUP) to permit the
excavation, grading, and restoration of the existing mining pit and a future development area west of
the mining pit. The existing IUP had a 5 -year time limit. The operation will require the removal of
approximatelyl.8 million cubic yards of material from the site.
The project site is adjacent to the Richard T. Anderson Conservation Area in Eden Prairie. To the
south across County Road 61 (Flying Cloud Drive) are the Minnesota Valley Wildlife Refuge, the
Minnesota River and State Wide Auto Salvage, Inc. To the north are the Hennepin County
Regional Trail and the Settlers West subdivision. Access to the site is proposed via County Road
61.
The proposed site grading and slope restoration will prepare the site for future development when
urban services are available, stabilize the site to reduce run-off and erosion, and permit the
vegetation, especially the trees, to grow between now and the time the site is developed.
A Phase I Environmental Audit dated November 2004 was prepared by McCain and Associates,
Inc. for Moon Valley Aggregates, Inc. This audit pointed out several recognized environmental
issues that needed to be addressed. A Phase II Site Investigation Work Plan was prepared for the
Moon Valley property in July 2005. The Phase H study spelled out the environmental cleanup that
would be performed on the site. Lead in the gun range was cleaned up. All house structures have
been removed from the site. The house well has been capped.

APPLICABLE REGUATIONS
Chapter 7, Article III. Excavating, Mining, Filling and Grading
Sections 20-231 through 20-237, Conditional Use Permits (Interim use permits are processed in
the same manner as conditional use permits).
BACKGROUND
On September 27, 2004, the Chanhassen City Council approved Interim Use Permit, Planning
Case #04-27 to permit grading, excavation and slope restoration. The IUP was good for five years.
February 1996, the city executed an earthwork permit agreement resolving the mining operation and
restoration.
June 22, 1992, the Chanhassen City Council approved an earthwork permit for the mining operation
(IUP #92-4).
ANALYSIS
GRADING, DRAINAGE AND EROSION CONTROL
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14
September 15, 2009
Page 4 of 10
The applicant has submitted an updated plan showing what areas are untouched, the areas that
are currently being graded, and the areas that have been graded and restored. Staff has requested
a phasing plan, a summary of the quantities removed and a summary of the quantity of remaining
material to be removed. This information shall be submitted annually a minimum of 30 days
before the anniversary of City Council approval.
The applicant is requesting an interim use permit to excavate approximately 1.8 million cubic
yards of material from the site. The goal of the grading is to restore the severe erosion areas on
the site and to leave the site in a condition that will allow future multi -family housing to be
developed. The applicant is proposing to grade down at steep, 40% (2.5:1) slopes from the high
points on the north and south sides of the property. This will allow a relatively flat area with a
gentle slope of 4% (25:1) to be developed in the center of the property. The flat area will be
developed into multi -family housing sites when municipal sewer and water is extended to the
area in the future. In addition, the severe rutting and erosion gullies that existed on the site will
be restored. Permanent vegetation will be established over all bare soil areas.
Previously, a restoration plan for the main pit area east of the creek had been prepared in 1992
and approved by the city for this site. The 1992 plan proposed to grade approximately 3 acres of
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14

Page 5 of 10
bluff area with 3.9 acres of tree removal. The current proposal has approximately 2.6 acres of
bluff grading and 7.3 acres of tree removal. While the new plan does result in more tree loss, the
impact to the bluff area is less than the previously approved plan. Also, the amount of usable or
developable area has been increased from approximately 8.5 to 14 acres. In an effort to try and
preserve more of the mature trees on the site, staff is recommending that grading on the east side
of the creek cease at or above the 756 -foot contour as a condition of approval, and the Grading,
Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan be revised to reflect these changes when the next grading
permit application is submitted. This would preserve approximately 1.6 acres of additional tree
canopy while decreasing the bluff impact from 2.6 to 2.4 acres. Terminating the grading at the
high point would more closely follow the natural drainage pattern in the area. It would also
alleviate the need for additional storm sewer in the future in order to capture the drainage and
route it back to Pond 2. The usable area available would still be 12.4 acres which is nearly four
acres greater than the 1992 plan.
The existing site generally drains from the north to the south. There is an existing creek/wedand
which runs through the center of the site. Eventually, the entire site drains to the Minnesota River
valley through existing culverts under County Road 61 (Flying Cloud Drive). Under proposed
conditions, the entire graded site area will drain to the two proposed ponds on either side of the
creek which divides the site. Pond 1, on the west side of the creek, will outlet to the adjacent
creek and the existing pond (Pond 2) outlets to the County Road 61 ditch. As in the existing
state, the treated storm water will then drain to the Minnesota River valley under County Road
61. Each of the ponds has been designed to NURP standards and sized for the future developed
state of the site. The submitted drainage calculations show that the existing 10- and 100 -year
runoff rates are being met, per City Code. On-site ponding should be adjusted, if necessary, at
the time of site development to meet the City's requirements for proposed build -out conditions.
In the future, when a development proposal is submitted, drainage and utility easements over the
ponds and creek will be required.
Erosion control has been shown on the plan in accordance with the City's Best Management
Practices Handbook (BMPH). Staff would recommend additional Type 1 silt fence in the
southeast corner of the site around the grading limits and around the proposed pond outlet apron.
All disturbed areas as a result of construction are required to be reseeded and mulched within
two weeks of site grading.
If erosion control measures installed in conjunction with this interim use permit are deemed by
the City to be ineffective, the City will inform the applicant in writing of any deficiencies. The
applicant will be required to remedy the deficiencies prior to site development. The required
remedy(ies) may include, but are not limited to: increased frequency of plantings, additional
erosion control blanket, or terracing of the northernmost slope to permanently break up the
length of the slope.
Phasing is a very important management tool for erosion control. Stabilization of the toe (first
150 feet of the slope) is needed immediately upon final grade. Stabilization should continue to be
done in phases. Large portions of the site should not be left exposed over weekends or during
Moon Valley Interim Use Permit — Planning Case 09-14

forecasted heavy rains. The slopes should be tracked with a dozer at all times. The dozer should
be run perpendicular to the slope to track the slope. The northeast "comer" of the slope continues
to be an area of instability because storm water concentrates in the swale and could potentially
form a gully. Currently only Type I silt fence has been installed in this area. As a condition of
approval, Type II silt fence is recommended by staff and is shown on the Grading, Drainage, and
Erosion Control Plan, dated August 6, 2004, submitted by the applicant. A terrace, turf
reinforcement mat and slope drain will likely be needed in this area to promote long-term
stability. Due to the steep slopes and long runs of the slope, straw -fiber rolls may be needed to
aid in stabilization of all the slopes with the MnDOT Category 3, 2S wood -fiber blankets. The
fiber rolls would help break up the length of slope and minimize erosion potential of the slope
with the erosion control blankets. Six-inch fiber rolls are needed every 15 to 20 feet. Proper
blanket application is crucial for this site. The blankets must make 100% contact with the soil
and stapled according to manufactures specifications. The staple pattern is vital to proper blanket
function. The blankets should be head trenched as well. Geotextile and riprap or geogrids or
other approved stabilization is needed to provide toe protection; there is a chance the toe of the
2.5 to 1 may start head cutting without toe protection. The seed mix specified (MnDOT 500)
should be changed to MnDOT Native mix 340 (Sandy Mid Height, dry conditions — i.e. south
facing slope). An application rate of 16 pounds per acre is recommended (20 pounds per acre for
hydroseeding or broadcasting). Depending on the final soil used, blanket application may be
difficult. If the soil is too sandy, stapling the blanket over long runs will be futile. `Terracing'
blankets or using strips of blankets with a heavy application of the seed mix (20 pounds per acre)
and hydromulch will be needed.
Silt fence should be installed at least 25 feet away from the toe of the slope to provide storage
and allow the silt fence to function properly. As stated on the plan, the temporary sediment
basins must be installed prior to grading activities. Berms may be needed to divert runoff into the
basins along County Road 61.
Subsurface storm water movement should be considered with surface movement of storm water.
When considering storm water management, installation of draintile at the toe should be
considered to reduce any future possibility of sloughing due to saturation from ground water or
slope seepage.
The applicant should be aware that if excess
material is transported to another site in
Chanhassen, a separate grading permit will be

hours of operation will be 7:00 a.m. to 6:00

addition, appropriate signage for hauling along

Grading on the east side of the creek must cease at or above the 756 -foot contour and all
disturbed soils must be permanently stabilized and restored in accordance with the Restoration
Plan as specified in the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan dated August 8, 2004.
Grading on the east side of the creek ceases at or above the 756 -foot contour; this must be
reflected on the next plan submittal. Staff inspected the site on August 19, 2009, and the grading
limits and erosion control have been installed at this contour. Terminating the grading at this
elevation would more closely follow the natural drainage pattern in the area. It would also
alleviate the need for additional storm sewer in the future in order to capture the drainage and
route it back to Pond 2. The future developable area available would still be 12.4 acres.
A phasing plan shall be required on an annual basis. The plan shall be subject to City staff
review of conformance with the conditions of the interim use permit. Financial security to
guarantee restoration and erosion control measures will be required with the annual updated
phasing plan. The plan is also subject to administration fees. An administration fee shall be
collected each year and shall be based on the number of cubic yards of material being graded as
identified in the phasing plan. The fees are taken from the Uniform Building Code Appendix,
Chapter 33. The applicant will need to request a formal extension 60 days prior to the expiration
date for the Interim Use Permit.
The applicant must provide the City with a cash escrow or letter of credit in the amount of 110% of
the construction costs for the appropriate phase of the grading operations to guarantee erosion
control measures, site restoration, and compliance with the interim use permit. The amount of the
security shall be established annually and shall be submitted by the anniversary of the date of City
Council approval.
Type II, reinforced silt fence must be installed and maintained at northwest comer of project, and
in all areas specified in the Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan. Type II silt fence must
be reinforced using sediment logs, wire backing, or other effective Best Management Practice.
Exposed, unworked soils must continue to be stabilized with temporary or permanent
stabilization BMPs in accordance with the construction sequencing as stated in the Grading,
Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan.
Exposed, unworked erodible soils with positive slopes must continue to be stabilized using
erosion control blanket or alternate effective BMPs according to the Grading, Drainage, and
Erosion Control Plan.
All other sediment and erosion control measures must be in place and maintained according to
the Grading, Drainage and Erosion Control Plan dated August 8, 2004, and phasing plan to be
submitted by applicant.
Tree preservation fencing must be installed at the edge of grading limits. No tree removal is
allowed beyond the 756 contour on the east side of the creek. MnDOT Native Mix 340 be used
for the seeding. All restored slopes shall be planted with trees. The trees shall be bare -root,
