Wetland Alteration Permit for City Trail Project 98-1
Upon review of the site plan drawings prepared by Howard R. Green Company,
March 9, 1998, I offer the following comments and recommendations:
BACKGROUND
These proposed wetland impacts are the result of proposed construction of city trails
as part of the 1997 Park referendum.
Wetland Impacts
There are approximately 1.4 acres of wetlands impacted in 24 different wetland
basins along portions of Hwy. 7, Galpin Boulevard, Powers Boulevard, Great
Plains Boulevard and Pioneer Trail. Most of the impacts are along existing
roadways where the wetlands have already been impacted by road construction and
are all classified ag/urban. The Park and Recreation Commission has held individual
public hearings for each section ofthe trail, and has taken into consideration
minimizing wetland impacts.
Wetland Mitigation
Most of the impacts are below 2,000 square feet and therefore would be exempt
from mitigation if they were projects by themselves. Since the City is proposing the
trails as one project, we are required to mitigate for the total impacts. Therefore, the
city is proposing that mitigation for all wetland impacts be accomplished by
withdrawing credits from the city's wetland bank. There are two good reasons to
proceed this way; 1) normally, wetland impacts are mitigated within the impacted
wetland. For this project that would require 24 separate projects, all minor in size
(less than 4,00 ~quare feet) but heavy in cost (easement acquisition, mobilization
and construction costs). 2) The bank was created for city road construction projects.
The 1997 changes to the Wetland Conservation Act, made an exception to
mitigation in road construction. The burden of mitigation no longer falls on the city,
&e City of ClJall!JaSSel1. A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a charming downtown, thriving businesses, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play

but on the State of Minnesota. There are currently 4.5 acres of wetlands in the city's wetland Banle
The impacts to wetlands along the Bluff Creek trail site will be mitigated within that wetland.
This will be accomplished in conjunction with a City wetland restoration project.
PlanniDl! Commission Update
On May 6, 1998 the public hearing was held and after receiving no comments, the Planning
Commission unanimously approved the Wetland Alteration Permit.
RECOMMENDA nON
Staff recommends the Planning Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Planning Commission recommends the City Council approve Wetland Alteration Permit
98-1 as shown on site plan drawings prepared by Howard R. Green Company, March 9, 1998 and
subject to the following conditions:
1. Wetland Conservation Act and the City ofChanhassen Surface Water Management Plan
requirements.
2. The applicant receive permits from the jurisdiction agencies such as the Army Corps of
Engineers, MN DNR and the Bluff Creek Watershed District.
3. The applicant shall develop a sediment and erosion control plan in accordance with the
City's Best Management Practice Handbook. Type III erosion control fencing will be
required around the existing wetlands."

GENERAL NOTICE
FOR WETLAND AL TERA TION PERMIT
City of Chanhassen
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Chanhassen Planning Commission will hold a
public hearing on Wednesday, May 6, 1998, at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers in Chanhassen
City Hall, 690 City Center Drive. The City of Chanhassen (LGU) during the year 1998 hereby
provides notice that it has applied for a wetland alteration permit as part of the 1998 Trail
Projects. This application proposes to impact 1.4 acres of wetlands along portions of Hwy. 7,
Galpin Blvd., Powers Blvd., Great Plains Blvd. and Pioneer Trail. The proposed impact from the
trail projects will be mitigated by the creation of new wetlands and wetland credits from the City's
wetland banle
Persons interested in viewing the above mentioned application should contact the city at
the address listed below. Persons interested in receiving mailed notice of each project within the
jurisdiction of the above mentioned LGU can be put on a mailing list by contacting the LGU at
the address listed below.

Wetland Impacts
Wetland areas impacted by construction of the trails shall be handled in accordance with
the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act (WCA). The City of Chanhassen is the LGU
for administration of the WCA, and will be the coordinating agency for wetlands that are
not MnDNR Protected Wetlands. The US Army Corps of Engineers shall be notified of
wetland impacts to determine if nationwide permits are to be issued.
As summarized in Tables 2 and 3, the total overall wetland impact, including both
jurisdictional and nonjurisdictional wetlands as defined by the WCA, is approximately
1.844 acres. Wetland impacts have been minimized throughout the design of the trails by
varying trail placement/alignment and profile grades. The wetland impact areas that
remain were minimized to the best extent possible within spatial and geographical
constraints.
Approximately 0.413 acres of the impacted wetlands are characterized as incidental,
since they were a direct result of the construction of the existing ditches and roadways.
These are exempt from wetland replacement, as described in Part II of the WCA
Administration Manual, Exemption 5: Incidental Wetlands. This results in a net total of
approximately 1.431 acres that would require mitigation at a ratio of 2: 1.
Ceil Strauss, of the Waters Division of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources,
noted that all MnDNR Protected Wetlands should be avoided: no fill will be allowed.
However, crossing of these wetlands may be possible with pedestrian bridges subject to
certain conditions. This should only be an area of concern for any wetlands that may be
associated with MnDNR Protected Waters as described in the next section.
Larry Zdon, of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, noted that any trail with impacts
greater than 0.5 acres will require Section 401 Water Quality Certification. He also noted
that he generally coordinates this with the Corps or the LGU, and that a Joint Project
Notification Form is generally used as an application for the certification.
Mitigation Plan
Mitigation will be accomplished in two ways: through use of banked wetland credits and
through wetland restoration. Currently, the City has accrued 2.44 acres of new wetland
credits and 16.8 acres of public value credits. These banked wetland credits will be
utilized for mitigation on all trails except Bluff Creek Trail.
Wetland impacts on the Bluff Creek Trail will be mitigated through the 1998 Bluff Creek
Wetland Restoration Project, as administered by Phil Elkin, City of Chanhassen Water
Resources Coordinator. This project will restore and create a significant amount of
wetlands, planned to exceed the required mitigation area for Bluff Creek Trail.

Crossing MnDNR Protected Waters
For each portion of the trails that cross a MnDNR Protected Water, the City would need a
"Work in Bed of Protected Waters" permit. According to Ceil Strauss, the general
characteristics of the permit are as follows:
· Completion of Joint Project Notification Form to provide general information and
attachment of an addendum including (1) a plan view to scale, (2) a cross-section
view, and, (3) if a bridge is proposed, a hydraulic analysis or statement claiming
no impact signed by a licensed engineer.
. ."
· The US Army Corps of Engineers will be involved only if wetland impacts are
involved in the proposed crossing.
· The timeframe for review and approval is typically 2 months, which includes a
30':'day comment period. Following the comment period, the permit is approved
or changes are requested in accord with any comments.

. Notes on crossing structures:
. Ideal crossing would be pedestrian bridges.
. Minimize impact to the stream, banks, and wildlife and fish
. Least flood impact
. If culverts are proposed, Fisheries and Wildlife must be involved in the review
process to ensure minimal impact on wildlife.
. The types of culverts that may be allowed depend on the stream; e.g. an
arch type may be required to leave a natural streambed.
As an alternative to individual permits for each crossing, the City may apply for a general
permit. The City has considered this possibility in the past, and may find this to be a
good time to proceed for several reasons:
. The timeframe for approval of the general permit is 2 months, the same as for an
individual permit.
. Future individual applications avoid the 30-day comment period as required by
individual permit applications. Each application only requires a 10-day DNR
review and approval period.
. The general permit would be valid for an extended period of time, which is
typically a number of years.
Floodplain and Surface Water Management Issues
'.
Within the scope of this project, the watershed districts are generally responsible for (1)
ensuring minimal floodplain impact from stream crossings and (2) ensuring that
appropriate grading and erosion control practices are followed during construction of the
trails.
The trails currently cross floodplain areas within the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed District at three points:
. The area of the Highway 101 S. Connection Trail between Lake Susan and Rice
Marsh Lake.
. The south end of the Bluff Creek Connection Trail at its crossing over Bluff
Creek.
. Galpin Boulevard Trail at the crossing over Bluff Creek near its south end.
801380J

The following information was obtained from Bob Obermeyer, the engineer for the
watershed district:
. If culverts are used for the stream crossings, stream modeling is generally
necessary to verify that the proposed structures would not cause backwater
elevation increases in excess of 0.5' .
. However, if the existing culverts under the roadways are simply extended by a
section or two (8-12 feet) to accommodate the trail, then the impact on backwater
elevations would be considered negligible and no analysis would be necessary.
. If bridges are constructed, then the low steel must be 1 foot above the 100-year
flood elevation. Alternatively, it may be acceptable for the approaches to be low
enough to allow passage of water in flood conditions, or the overall bridge can be
low enough to allow complete submersion.
Mr. Obermeyer also mentioned that the watershed district has been granted a general
permit from the MnDNR, and it has not yet been determined whether the watershed
district or the MnDNR would review and approve the permits for these crossings.

6. The west elevation shall be redesigned in a fashion that would minimize the appearance of
the corrugated metal. The brick on the building shall be extended higher.
7. The applicant shall enter into a site plan agreement with the City and provide the necessary
financial security in the form of a letter of credit or cash escrow to guarantee compliance
with the conditions of approval.
8. The applicant shall add some architectural interest to the mansard roof along the south
elevation. This could be done in the form of dormers.
9. The applicant shall add flower boxes around the base of the columns along the south
elevation.
10. The design should be revised to collect the roof runoff into downspouts and conveyed
underneath the sidewalk.
11. The applicant shall work with the City Engineer for the appropriate roof drainage on the
west side of the building.
All voted in favor, except Burton and Peterson who opposed, and the motion carried with a
vote of 4 to 2.
Burton: Basically I articulated earlier. Even with the staffs recommendations, I still don't think
it fits in to the area back there. I just have too many problems with this design in that location.
Peterson: ... the simple fact is, I want to be sure we get Council's attention that it needs some
more work. Motion carried.

Phillip Elkin presented the staff report on this issue.
Peterson: Questions of staff?
Conrad: Impact on a high grade wetland?
Elkin: No. They're all, they all have been either impacted by agriculture or most have been
impacted by road construction.
Conrad: The Bluff Creek wetland Phillip is, what is that? That's the biggest one.
Elkin: Right.
Conrad: What kind of wetland is that?
Elkin: That's still ag urban. If you look down there, they still farm as much as they can. It's just
been classified a wetland because over the years the draintiles have broken and it no longer
drains effectively to farm so it's a very low grade wetland. Dominated by reed canary grass. I
haven't been up here for a while. I wanted to talk.
, . p.eterson: Let him go. Other questions? This item is open for a public hearing. May I have a
motion and a second please.
Sidney moved, Blackowiak seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was
opened.
Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the Planning Commission, please
come forward and state your name and address please.
Conrad moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was
closed.
Peterson: Comments. Ladd.
