BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 II ,_ (612) 937-1900 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Jim Chaffee, Public Safety Director IIFROM: Scott Harr, Assistant Public Safety Director DATE: September 6, 1989 IISUBJ: Eurasion Water Milfoil, Inspection of Lake Minnewashta II This memo is to update you on the status of reported milfoil in Minnewashta. Please recall that we did receive a sample from a homeowner on the lake, which was confirmed as Eurasion Water Milfoil. The DNR then conducted an inspection, being unable to locate the source within the lake. 1 Richard Wing was then kind enough to lead a dive expedition in Minnnewashta locating what he believed was the suspect weed. I immediately dispatched Lake I Restoration, Inc. to inspect and confirm at that location and they were only able to locate and identify one plant as Eurasion Water Milfoil. They did pull this plant out. IIIn planning a strategy with Mr. Kevin Kretsch, President of Lake Restoration, Inc., his recommendation was that we not take any additional action until Spring of 1990. The reasons are: I - No additional weed has been located; - The treatment process that is used would not be effective at this time of II the year (all they could do now would be to "burn off" existing weeds to ensure that fragments would not spread within the lake, but the roots would not affected) . IIKevin and I concluded that we would meet in the Spring to arrange an additional inspection(s), and pursue necessary treatment. These remain the only two con- firmed samples of Eurasion Water Milfoil that have been submitted to the City of iChanhassen.

If approved, the church would be located on the second floor in a new area above the hardware store and Millie' s Deli. This space was originally intended to be dedicated to office use but has not been occupied as such. In ' an attached letter Don Finger, who would be the minister, indi- cated that the location of his church on this property would be a temporary use until such time as the congregation outgrew the space. At this point, the congregation does not exist but it is hoped that over time it would grow to 50 to 75 people in the first year. Additional growth potential was indicated in an earlier phone conversation. It was indicated that the church is ' negotiating a short term 18 month lease with a possible extension for 12 months to follow. There are several issues associated with this proposal that the City Council should be aware of. The first is that churches , as such, are not specifically a permitted use in the Central Business District. Churches are specifically allowed in other districts in the ordinance and frankly, staff is not certain as to whether this was intentional or an omission. However, we do note that clubs and lodges are a permitted use in the CBD District and a church occupancy could be construed to be similar to this type of occupancy. We also note that "cultural" facili- ties are allowed as a permitted use in the CBD District. The ordinance does not provide a definition for cultural facilities. We believe that it would not be unreasonable to classify reli- gious institutions operating out of a non-traditional setting, as cultural facilities in the absence of a firm definition. We note that the church will not be operating from a free-standing struc- ture nor will the proposed site be modified to give the external Mr. Don Ashworth September 13 , 1989 Page 2 appearance of a typical church. This factor is significant since the ordinance defines a "church" as a "building or edifice con- secrated to religious worship . . . " . The Central Business District is the only one that lists cultural facilities as a per- mitted use. The second issue concerns the change in occupancy from office , space to potentially a religious institution. There are building code compliance questions that are currently being discussed with city staff. We believe that with appropriate modifications that this building could suitably be adapted to allow the church safely use the site. From a site planning standpoint, our issues relate more to the availability of parking since there are no external modifications to the property that are anticipated. The building owner and applicant have indicated that there is a desire to use the site when other businesses in the Dinner Theatre are not in operation requiring peak parking demand. We believe this is appropriate and that as long as the Dinner Theatre is not in operation and/or the commercial establishments are experiencing business peak business hours that the parking demands that we would attribute to such a use could be satisfied with existing on site parking. If such a use is to be approved by the city, we would recommend that the church and the building owner commit to only having services at defined times that meet these criteria. We would further recommend that the building owner be required to commit in writing to construct additional parking in accordance with approved plans at the south side of the building should the need become apparent due to the church occupancy. If the Council is comfortable with the definition of the church as a cultural facility and with the stipulations outlined above, staff would recommend that it be processed as site plan review. We believe this is warranted since in our opinion this would represent a change in the leaseable space of a multiple tenant building where the change has the potential to intensify the use over and above the office occupancy that had been anticipated. The use of the site plan review procedure would also allow the city to require firm commitments to satisfy the stipulations of approval. Unless staff is informed that the City Council is uncomfortable with this proposal, it is our intention to proceed in the manner outlined. I II September 12, 1989 ' Mr. Paul Krause Planning Director, City of Chanhassen PO Box 147 ' Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Mr. Krause, ' I am an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God (A/G) , with national headquarter ' s in Springfield, Missouri and state District offices in Minneapolis. We have 175 churches in Minnesota, with I several of them very close to Chanhassen. We are a pentecostal, evangelical, protestant fellowship adhering to the basic, orthodox tenets of all Christian churches. I have relocated my family in the Jonathan area (we were unable to find rental housing in Chanhassen) and our son is attending the Chaska school district. We moved with the call and blessing of our fellowship to pioneer a new Assemblies of God church in Chanhassen. In late August, Doug Strand and I met Mr. Herb Bloomberg. We ' talked with him about renting some space he has vacant in the shopping complex adjacent to the dinner theaters in downtown Chanhassen. ' Space to rent is hard to find for us in Chanhassen. We were pleased to have located this space. There is over 6 ,000 square feet available and we' re discussing rental of from 1 ,500 to 2,000 square feet from Mr. Bloomberg. Initial talks have been about a short-term lease of 18 months with a possible 6-12 month extension. ' We are starting a pioneer work. As of this date the church consists of my family - 5 people. We want to begin introducing ourselves to the community this week. We are hoping to be able to begin meeting in early November, 1989 . ' Most new churches start by renting space in a school. It is far more advantageous for our churches to find more permanent rental space for the following reasons: . 1) We as a fellowship prefer gathering for worship 1 Sundays, both in the morning and the evening. 2) We also prefer meeting for a mid-week time of teaching and prayer on Wednesday evening. 3) Meeting in a more permanent setting encourages attenders to visit and become part of the new ' church. SEP 12199 L IT_Y.OF CHANHASSLN 1 II II 4) We have a place for the pastor, for committee meetings, etc. II Mr.Bloomberg felt our needs would not interfere with his other tenants. The average A/G church in the U.S. members 93 people. As a pioneer II church we are hopeful to number 50-75 after our first year. OUr plans are to rent from Mr. Bloomberg only until we are able to II purchase something of our own that is more conducive to our church family. I understand this isn' t the first time a church has done this, and I pray for approval of our desire. I You may write me at my home address: 111502 Bender Court II Chaska, MN 55318 or call my home at 448-3358. I will be glad to help in any way I II can.

Paul , MN 55075 Dear Roger, I Councilman Boyt called me today requesting what we are doing in regards to Frontier Homes and the article or ad that the Council Irequested be placed in the paper . I told Councilman Boyt that we had to be very, very careful on what we did as a municipality criticizing a builder through the news media. He understood that but still pressed on and said that he would like to see something I in the paper . Councilman Boyt also indicated that he has heard that Frontier I Homes is correcting the problems with the homes that they had built in Eden Prairie and tp his knowledge they are not correcting the problems with homes in Chanhassen. Councilman Boyt also indicated that he had heard that Frontier Homes is on I the verge of going out of business. In addition, I received a call from Mrs. 6laros who precipitated N� this incident when her husband called me way back when and first -- advised me of the problems with Frontier Homes. Mrs. 6laros is obviously at her wits end in dealing with Frontier Homes. As a Imatter of fact , Frontier Homes will not even return their calls any more and she has stated that Frontier Homes superintendent has been instructed not to do any work on their home. Mrs. Glaros also stated that they have had three mechanic ' s leins filed �� against their property and has been made aware that other leins on other Chanhassen Frontier homes have also been filed. IMrs. Glaros also stated that the Frontier model home in Chanhassen has recently been sold and when she checked into this, she learned that the Frontier mndel hume had, in fact , been turned over to Richfield Tile because of the extensive debt I Frontier had incurred with Richfield Tile. I II __ . . II Roger Knutson N� September 6, 1989 Page 2 .. ~~ I have not confirmed any of this information, however , it would appear that on the surface Frontier Homes is having their share of problems. Mrs. Glaros is obviously upset on having the leins placed against their home and does not know who is actually N� responsible for the leins and getting them taken care of. Her -- question to me was can she or her family be held responsible for the payment to the contractors who have filed leins . Mrs. Maros has been advised by her attorney not to talk to the papers because of a potential lawsuit with Frontier Homes. Would you advise me on what we can do to fulfill the Council ' s wishes N� by going through the media indicating our problems with Frontier Homes.

We genuinely appreciate your sharing of services with your neighboring cities and extending a helping hand. ' Although animal control is not a major issue in our city, it is an important one and when a problem arises, it must be addressed promptly by competent personnel. As a public official I am sure you understand the need to respond to citizen complaints efficiently and effectively. Your approval of a temporary contract with Tonka Bay will allow us to continue to provide animal control services to our residents in a professional manner. ' I have enjoyed working with Scott Harr, the Assistant Public Safety Director, and other staff from the City of Chanhassen on this issue. All persons involved have been very cooperative and we have easily reached a consensus on a temporary agreement for services. This would not have been possible without the approval and support of the Chanhassen City Council. Again, we extend our thanks to you. It is refreshing to see that neighboring cities t can join together to resolve a problem and develop a program that will be beneficial to all jurisdictions involved.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (012) 037'1S00 1 MEMORANDUM TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager FROM: Jim Chaffee, Public Safety Director DATE: August 28, 1989 N� SUBJ: SARA Title III Training for Emergency Managers Please be aware that on Thursday, August 24, I attended a SARA Title III Training Seminar for emergency managers. You may N� recall that the Council was interested in getting an update on m� what is happening within the framework of SARA Title III . In addition, the Public Safety Commission is intersted to know just where we stand in relationship to the law. SARA is an abbreviation for "Super Fund Amendments and Reauthorization Act , " and Title III is a subpart of that ALt N� involving emergency planning and community right-to-know. The ~~ Act which was passed by Congress and signed into law in 1986, establishes requirements for federal , state and local governments N� and industry regarding emergency planning and community right-to- know reporting on hazardous and toxic chemicals. Its aim is at helping communities to better meet their responsiblities in regard to potential chemical emergencies. The community right- to-know provisions of the Act will help to increase the public ' s knowledge and access to information of the presence of hazardous chemicals in their communities and releases of these chemicals N� into the environment. Local governments, working with their business facilities, will be better able to improve chemical safety and protect public health and the environment . N� Title III also requires that counties and municipalities prepare an Emergency Operations Plan to deal with hazardous materials. It is the responsibility of these counties and municipalities to N� amend their current Plans to meet the provisions of Title III emergency planning requirements. Any political subdividion, i . e. , Chanhassen, may request the Commission to establish a local N� Emergency Planning Committee to prepare the Title III Plan for �� Don Ashworth N� August 28, 1989 ~~ Page Two its jurisdiction. Federal law provides for a local Emergency Planning Committee and has provided such a Committee with certain N� authorities and responsiblities. Any political subdivision may also establish a Planning Advisory Committee to prepare its Title III Plan. The Commission encourages political subdivisions to create N� committees and to seek public involvement in community ~~ development . The Regional Program Coordinator for District #7 (metro West ) N� Regional Review Committee, which oversees Anoka, Carver , Hennepin and Scott Counties, is Howard Strabala of St . Paul . The rules established by SARA Title III are complex and confusing. The Act established threshhold requirements for reporting materials both in the extremely hazardous category and N� the hazardous category. Again, these reporting procedures are complex. In some cases, for plain hazardous materials, an organization which meets the threshhold reporting requirement must complete and provide a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet ) N� to the State Emergency Response Commission and the local Fire Department with jurisdiction over the facility. The penalty established by the Act for failure to comply with submittal of N� the MSDS forms is $10,000 for each violation. While the bugs have not yet been worked out with the requirements N� of SARA Title III , the Act does pose some interesting worloloads m� both for the local Fire Departments and Public Safety Response Units. Not only are there complex and technical training requirements for first responders, there are increasing workloads placed upon public safety administrations regarding compliance with the Act . As our industrial base grows at an increasingly rapid pace, we ~~ will be feeling the pressures of compliance with the Act, bearing more heavily on time commitments for public safety administra- N� tion. When one considers that SARA Title III covers only stationary industrial facilities and businesses within a community and not transportation networks, it is easy to understand how complex a city response plan could become. For N� example, the City of Chanhassen has four major highways traversing our boundaries and two major railroads and a petroleum pipeline. The need for a hazardous material incident reponse N� plan is very real and will not go away. It is the intent of this office to continue to receive educational materials and to attend seminars regarding SARA N� Title III emergency response planning. In addition, we will be working closely with the Fire Department and Greg Davies, our county coordinator, in an effort to stay on top of the Title III N� requirements.

PAUL -- In an effort to keep Minnesota roads the safest in the country, Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) Commissioner Leonard W. Levine will be attending a number of public forums designed to hear people's IIconcerns about roadway safety problems. "I 'd like to hear what specific road safety problems Minnesota citizens IIwould like addressed if adequate transportation funds were available," said Levine. I Levine, who listed safety as one of his top priorities when he began his tenure as Commissioner of Transportation, will be attending a series of "roadway 1 safety forums" on September 25 and 26 throughout the state. Accompanying him will be Col . Roger Ledding, Chief of the State Patrol . "We will be going to at least one community in each of our 8 IItransportation districts," explained Levine. "The purpose of these forums is to listen and to identify problems - not solutions. We need to hear as many IIviewpoints as possible and for that reason we may have to limit oral presentations, but we also encourage people to submit written comments about II roadway safety." "Even though we are a state agency charged with managing the 12,100 mile I State Trunk Highway System, we want to hear about ALL roadway safety problems regardless of whether they are state, county, city or township. Safety, on whatever road in the state, is serious business." IIThose interested in participating in these road safety forums should contact the nearest Mn/DOT District Office. (Editor see reverse side). IThe location and times of the forums will be announced by the District Offices very soon, said Levine. 1 Contact: Jim Mulrooney Bill Bunde Tony Vignieri 612/296-0369 612/296-8409 612/297-4927 ILocal Public Affairs Coordinators - See Reverse I Minnesota Department of Transportation/Transportation Building/St. Paul, MN 55155 HI II MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION I PUBLIC AFFAIRS COORDINATORS II DISTRICT 1 - DULUTH DISTRICT 7 - MANKATO John Bray Vincent Meyer II 1123 Mesaba Avenue - 501 S.

Box 18 Minnetonka, MN 55343 Dear Ms. Pollish: ' I received your letter of September 14, 1989 , outlinin g FMG ' s use of the building located at 570 West 78th Street. From the letter ' and from previous discussions, it is our understanding that the primary use of the building continues to be warehousing. We further note that there are what you term "pre-manufacturing pro- ' cesses" occurring in the building. The pre-manufacturing process consists of the installation of several machines used to blend your materials which are then trans-shipped out of the building before the processing and packaging. The machinery occupies a relatively small area and requires few employees to operate. This machinery was relocated into the structure on a temporary basis after a catastrophic fire occurred at another one of your ' facilities . You have indicated that it is your intent to vacate the premises, in all probability, by December 31, 1990 , although you indicated that you wished to have the ability to remain in the structure until June 30, 1991. ' After reviewing the material and visiting the site, staff has concluded that the primary use of the building continues to be ' warehousing and that the processing that is occurring within is extremely minor in nature and is incidential to the primary use of the structure for warehousing. You have also agreed that there will be no further intensification of processing equipment within the structure during your occupancy. As a result of this information and visits to the site, we have concluded that the primary use of the building continues to be warehousing. This is ' allowable as a non-conforming use in the CBD District due to the historic use of the use. It should be clear that in making this determination, the city in no way wishes to encourage industrial use of this building, which is in fact in violation of the city zoning code. 1 1 Ms. Janet Pollish September 19 , 1989 Page 2 I will be forwarding a copy of this letter to our City Building Official and that they may proceed with processing of permits for minor improvements of the structure that will be required.

( "FMG/Tsumura") and the City of Chanhassen's officials on Wednesday, September 13, 1989, regarding FMG's continued occupancy at 571 W. 78th Street. I am providing each person who attended the meeting with a carbon copy of this letter. If any person believes that the agreement set forth herein does not accurately summarize the agreement reached at the meeting, they ' should contact me immediately. On September 13, 1989, it was agreed between the City of Chanhassen, FMG/Tsumura and Bloomberg Companies, Inc. that FMG/Tsumura could continue with its temporary occupancy at 571 West 78th Street, for warehousing and performing pre-manufacturing processes, including botanical blending, through June 30, 1991. The parties further that FMG/Tsumura's use of the premises for the above defined purposes shall not be used to set a precedent with respect to the authorized use of the premises. The parties understand that industrial use, including manufacturing, is not a ' permitted use in that zoning district. It is FMG/Tsumura's intent to vacate the premises by December 31, 1990, however, in order to assure adequate time for relocation, approval to continue occupancy at the premises is granted through June 30, 1991. 1 In light of the above, we assume that the City will issue the necessary HVAC and plumbing permits, and a Certificate of Occupancy, if ' necessary.

Always remove plant fragments from your boating equipment and trailer before entering a lake and again before leaving it. Dispose of the fragments on high, dry ground, well away from the water. ' 2. Know which lakes are infested with Eurasian water milfoil and be particularly careful when boating in them. If possible, avoid boating through heavy, surfacing infestations. This will reduce the number of fragments available to start new plants. 1 3. If your lake does not have Eurasian water milfoil in • it, conduct at least one or two milfoil searches each summer. Suggestions on how to conduct a search are ' available from the Department of Natural Resources. 4. Keep a supply of Eurasian water milfoil flyers on hand to distribute to new lake association members and other 1 lake users. Flyers are available upon request from the Department of Natural Resources. ' S. Organize volunteer efforts to monitor accesses, at least during some key use periods. Boats can be monitored to ensure that plant fragments are removed, ' and informational literature can be distributed to heighten public awareness. 6. Metal signs, asking boaters to remove plant fragments from their boating equipment, have been posted at public accesses on all infested and many noninfested lakes. If you are aware of a missing sign on any of 1 these lakes, please notify the Department of Natural Resources. 7. Report any suspected Eurasian water milfoil population to: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife Ecological Services Section 500 Lafayette Rd. St. Paul, MN 55155-4025 (612)296-2835. If possible, mail a fragment of the suspected Eurasian water milfoil. The fragment should be wrapped in paper ' toweling and placed in a ziplock-type bag. 11 1 MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES 1 How to Conduct a Eurasian Water Milfoil Search on Your Lake 1 1. Conduct the search on a day when the lake is fairly calm, since choppy water makes it difficult to see the plants. Early morning is usually a good time to search. Plants may be more visible on a sunny day than they are on a dark, cloudy one. 1 2. Boat slowly around the lake's shoreline. One person should operate the motor while a second person looks for plants off the bow of the boat. Polarized sunglasses will help if you have problems with glare. 3. Aquatic plants are generally found in shallow water where sunlight penetrates to the bottom, usually in depths less than fifteen feet. If your lake is shallow and plants grow all the way across, you should conduct at least a few searches in the center of the lake. If your lake is deep, a systematic search around the shoreline -will be sufficient; it will not be necessary to examine the deeper portions of the lake. 4. A pioneer infestation of Eurasian water milfoil can grow and spread very rapidly. You should examine any "unusual" growths of aquatic plants in areas you are familiar with. 5. Always look for Eurasian water milfoil in the vicinity 1 of boat accesses and marinas. Initi_;l infestations often occur in areas where a boat, carrying fragments from an infested lake, has launched. 1 6. Check for a concentration of aquatic plant fragments around the lake outlet, and any flow-restricting structures such as dams and spillways. Also check for plants near stream inlets and in shallow bays. 7. If you encounter what you suspect to be Eurasian water 1 milfoil, do not attempt to identify it by just looking over the side of the boat. Carry a garden rake on board, and rake up some of the plants so you can take a close look. 8. Bring along a jar or a few plastic bags in case you need to collect a sample for further identification. If possible, collect the entire plant, including stems, leaves, and flowers, if present. Add some water to the samples so they don't dry out; identification of dried 1 plants can be difficult. Note the date, collection location and some details about the site where the 1 1 • . plant was found. Contact the Department of Natural Resources, and send the sample in for identification verification. Aquatic plant samples may be sent to: ' Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife Ecological Services Section 500 Lafayette Rd. ' St. Paul, MN 55155-4025 _ (612)296-2835. 9. It is important to conduct at least two Eurasian water milfoil searches during the summer since it is very easy to miss an early infestation of this plant. If ' you discover what you think is Eurasian water milfoil in a lake not known to be infested, contact the Department of Natural Resources immediately. .f The Cost of Doing Nothing r r I/Environmental Impacts Eurasian watermilfoil infestations tend to replace naturally occurring aquatic plant species, resulting in a loss of diversity in the aquatic plant community, and replacement of valuable aquatic plant species like largeleaf and claspingleaf pondweed. In addition, dense , mats of filamentous algae are often found in association with Eurasian watermilfoil. Eurasian watermilfoil has been associated with panfish stunting, by providing dense cover I and protection from predators. However, other aquatic plants abundant in Minnesota lakes, like coontai1, bushy pondweed and northern watermilfoil. have also been associated with stunting, and Eurasian watermilfoil infestations that replace these plants will probably not exacerbate panf i sh stunting. Studies have found that Eurasian watermilfoil removes large amounts of phosphorus from lake sediments and recycles it into the water column, where the phosphorus can stimulate further plant and algae growth. Effects of Eurasian watermilfoil on zooplankton are also unclear. Some scientists feel that large zooplankton species that provide an important forage base for many fish benefit from the protective habitat provided by Eurasian watermilfoil, while others have associated Eurasian mi l foi l with low zoo plankton abundance. Recreational Impacts Heavy Eurasian watermiIfoil infestation can adversely affect all kinds of recreational lake activities, such as angling, _ail boating, o:-twerhr:ati.rq, swimming, ctc. This can lead to a decline i n recreational lake use, and may also result in a loss of recreation-based revenues to the local econo my. Economic Impacts Various studies cite reduction in ro riparian P property values as a consequence of heavy, unmanaged aquatic plant growth. Quantification of the decline i.s, of course, difficult to determine and highly variable, but estimat =s - have been made. Riparian p•--ope-ty values. in Buffalo Lake, Wisconsin are estimated to be approximately 10% lower than those of similar properties co-! foss weedy nearby lakes. It is important to note that when aquatic plant growth is managed to allow reasonable recreational lake use, property values are generally not appreciably diminished. r i ' Eurasian Waterrnilfoil in Minnesota Eurasian waterrni lfoi l (Myric �nh ,!1 1!_i rn _>.p i c a t u rn) has gained notoriety for causing nuisance conditions in many North American lakes. Native to Eurasia, this plant was introduced into North America in the 19407s, presumably as an aquarium plant. Since then it has spread to 37 states and two Canadian provinces. Eurasian wat errn i i fo i l grows quickly, up to 2 inches per day, and because most of the plant growth occurs near the water surface it can form dense, impenetrable surface mats. Although it has a hard ' time getting established in lakes where there is a healthy population of native plants, Eurasian rni 1 foi l can, like marry ,ether exotics, quickly infest disturbed sites. The ' main method of reproduction is by fragmentation, and as a result this plant can quickly infest a lake. Plant fragments can be transported by surface currents, aquatic ' birds, boats and the like to other areas of a lake or to different waterbodies, where the fragments regenerate to form new plants. Once established, Eurasian waterrnilfoi1 can out-compete many nat ivu aquatic plants and become the ' dominant species within a few years of its introduction into_, a lake. Because it grows readily and forms dense surface mats, it can seriously impair recreational lake • activities like beating, Fishing, water skiing and swimming, and is also cons i dered an eyesore. ' So far, Eurasian, wet ermi lfoi l has been found in seven Minnesota lakes. All infestat it•ns, except for Lake Minnetonka. were first noted during t?38. Table 1 lists these lakes, along with notes about the extent of ' infestation. Further sampling would r ,--e accurately define the extent and location of infestations ir, these lakes. Table 1.

This is done through monitoring and public education. DNR staff currently identify aquatic vegetation as part of the lake survey process. In addition, metro N� fisheries and Ecological Services staff have been conducting aquatic plant surveys in metro area lakes in the hope of spotting early Eurasian watermilfoil infestations. N� Some recent public awareness work has also been done in Minnesota. The Freshwater Institute sponsored a Eurasian watermilfoil seminar last summer, and has 11 published some brochures for public distribution. In addition, the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District has posted "Eurasian Watermilfoil Alert " signs at Lake N� Minnetonka accesses, and has also developed a pamphlet for ~~ public distribution. Several articles on Eurasian watermilfoil have also appeared in local and regional newspapers and magazines this past year. DNR has also included information on how to stop the spread of unwanted aquatic plants in the 1989 Boating Guide and Fishing Synopsis, and a flyer for public distribution is under N� development. Plans to fabricate signs for posting at public accesses on both infested and noninfested lakes (other than Minnetonka) are also onderwav . New Infestations If Eurasian watermilfcil can be defected ln a lake when its distribution is limited to a -;mall , i -"lated area ( less than a couple of acres) , there is a chance that the �� plant can be eradicated by chemical treatment with a ~~ systemic herbicide. Currently, aquatically labelled 2, 4-D products have been the most useful in this regard, but N� other herbicides such as fluridone and trichlopyr are being ~~ evaluated. The greatest advantage of 2, 4-D use ;:hat this product is effective on only a very f'"w aquatic plant species, and will allow for selective contrc , c= Eurasian N� watermilfoil without destroying many of the native species. Fluridone may also prove quite useful since it seems to be effective on Eurasian watermilfoil at doses too low to control other plants. Under no circumstances should mechanical control be attempted on isolated new infestations, because plant fragments generated hv harvesting would spread the infestation. N� Established Infestations. Once established in a lake, Eurasian watermilfoil is virtually impossible to eliminate. In some instances, confinement of the infestation to a bay may be possible. ' If confinement is not possible, the rrii1foil can be managed via mechanical control and/or herbicide application programs to enable continued recreational lake use. In addition, replanting treated or harvested areas with native species may help suppress Eurasian watermi 1 foi 1. All of these activities are regulated through the DNR' s Aquatic Plant Management Program. In most such situations in the ' northern U. S. and Canada, mechanical control programs have been emphasized over widespread herbicide use. Although both methods should be seen as maintenance measures ' requiring annual repetition, there is some evidence that, over time, mechanical harvesting suppresses Eurasian watermi lfoi 1 growth and al lows other plant species to grow. Mechanical harvesting should not be considered if it ' would result in a hitch risk of plant fragment transport into uninfested waterbodies. ' Other mechanical control measures that have been used elsewhere include underwater rotcit i l l ing and installation of benthic barriers. E{enthic barriers are not allowed in Minnesota since several problem- are associated with their 1 installation. Rot ot i 111rrg, while successful in scrr,e circumstances, rrsuspends large quantities of sediments, and would require both DNR Protected Waters and MPCA Water Quality permits. Fragment barriers at the out lets of infested lakes could reduce or prevent the spread of Eurasian watcrmilf: i. 1 to downstream wa'terbodies, tut to date none have worked successfully.

The letter further requested that you make an application for a wetland alteration permit by September 11, 1989. The city did not receive a wetland alteration permit application by September 11th. We are therefore contacting you once again to remind you 1 that a wetland alteration permit is still required and must be processed with the city. Staff has received copies of the correspondence between yourself and DNR in reference to the unauthorized fill as regulated by the Department of Natural Resources . The most recent letter from the DNR dated September 18, 1989, stated that you had agreed to 1 remove all new fill material that is waterward of the ordinary high water mark with the exception of a small pile of black dirt which is to be used to re-establish vegetation. The material will be moved to an upland disposal site that is above the OHWM elevation which is also acceptable to the City of Chanhassen and the Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District. It is understood that the work will be done as soon as possible and ' before winter conditions arrive. The DNR will not be requiring a permit nor will fines be incurred for this work as long as there are no changes to the proposed plan summarized above. The DNR letter further made it clear that you must still comply to all rules, regulations and requirements of all other appli- cable agency and units of government. Although you have come to an agreement with the DNR, it is still necessary for you to receive a wetland alteration permit for the activities taking place within 200 feet of the Class A wetland area north of Lotus 11 Lake. It was also stated in the letter from the DNR that you were interested in being able to provide a path through the wetland vegetation between the edge of your lawn and the open water on Lotus Lake. To provide such an access to the open water r I Mr. Michael Clark September 21, 1989 Page 2 would also require a wetland alteration permit from the City of 1 Chanhassen. Since it appears that you are voluntarily working with the DNR to meet their requirements, the city will extend the application deadline to October 9, 1989, for you to also voluntarily work with the city to meet our requirements . Again, please contact me to go over what is needed for submittals to meet that applica- tion deadline. Should an application for a wetland alteration permit not be submitted by October 9, 1989, the city will refer the item to the City Attorney' s Office for further action.

"Amazing Grace" is a live production depicting a cannunity confronting its ignorance and fear when a high school student is found to have AIDS. Interwoven with the fiction of the play is a true story told with film and narration of Archie Harrison who lived with the disease with "amazing grace". II "Amazing Grace" has been shown and is well received in many communities across the state. 1 As the public health agency and since HIV infection and AIDS are public health issues, there is an obligation for public health to provide accurate scientific information to members of the community for the prevention of the spread of this disease. IICommunity Health Services has Used a variety of forums to teach about HIV and AIDS. The Illusion Theatre has a history of confronting uncomfortable issues in a very tasteful and inpressive way. "Amazing Grace" is no exception to this. IICommunity Health Services is asking for broad based camunity support for the presentation of "Amazing (race" in Carver County. You are invited to a meeting on Thursday, October 5 from 7:30 to 9:00 PM II at Waconia City Hall where Ken Carlson of the Illusion Theatre will describe "Amazing Grace" in more detail and input from the community can be given.
