Robert Franklin, Arthur Theis; Clerk, Donna Roehl; Planning and Zoning

luancy Laurent asked that minutes of November 16, 1976 be corrected to read that the boat ranp
at Lake Indpendence could now be repaired because the water level is down.
Motion by Arthur Theis, seconded by William Reiser to approve the minutes of November 16th
as corrected.
Motion carried unanimously
1. JOHN HOLMQUIST, MINNEHAHA CREFX WATERSHED DISTRICT
Mr. Holmquist appeared at the request of Medina to answer questions regarding the proposed
project of the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District to construct a series of dams throughout
the district to control the water level of Lake Minnetonka.
He explained that the Lake Minnetonka Conservation Commission had petitioned the Watershed
District to seriously consider the project that had previously been discussed. The construct-
ion would enable storage of water in lakes and streams to control inflow into Lake Minnetonka.
He stated that a, public hearing had been held on November 30, 1976; the pxoper.notices had been
published and the affected property owners had been notified individually. He added that the
record is still open for public statements and would very likely be considered at the Jan. 20th
board meeting.
He also explained that Lake Katrina, Holy Name Lake and marshes west and south, School Lake
and marsh north would be affected. In the future Wolsfeld and Thies Lake would also be con-
sidered.
Munn Scherer emphasised the mosquito problem that would develop due to standing water.
George Gruenwald asked if property owners would be compensated for loss of trees and'if so
where would such money come from.
Mr. Holmquist: Damages would be paid for and assessed against the affected property owners.
Wm. Rudolph: What is the plan for Holy Name Lake?
Mr. Holmquist: A control structure would be constructed on the outlet and the south marsh.
Robert Bradley: Did not receive a letter and owns 75% of collection basin.
Mr. Holmquist: 350 letters were sent and some were returned because of address errors.
Also a preliminary enviornmental assessment has been completed and a favorable report has been
received.
Robert Scott: Attended the public hearing and Managers did not wish to reconvene the hearing.
Robert Fra.nklih: What is the estimated cost of the project?
Mr. Holmquist: 835,000 for the entire project, but this may not be realistic because they may
wish to increase ponding levels in some areas. They may ask for outright.title to some prop-
erty and easements in other cases.
Robert Franklin: Who are the primary benefactors of the project?
Mr. Holmquist: Lake Minnetonka residents and residents along Minnehaha Creek.
George Wyse: Attended the hearing and felt that Vey did not know what they were asking for
and that a decision would be made before all the facts were known.
Mrs. Gruenwald: Could we petition against the project?
Mr. Holmquist: Yes, that could be done.
Robert Franklin read resolution requesting the Board of Managers to reconvene the public hear-
ings and take no further action until the public has been informed of the impact of the pro-
posal.
Motion by Robert Franklin, seconded by William Reiser to adopt Resolution 76-46 regarding the
Minnehaha Creek upper waMershed retention project.
Motion carried unanimously
Motion by Robert Franklin, seconded by Arthur Theis to ask the engineer to study the report
and report back to the Council. Also send copies of resolution to Minnehaha Creek Watershed
Board members, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners and Bud Robb.
Motion carried unanimously
