CITIZEN FORUM
Linda Pauling of 12440 - 58th Street NE, Lot 3, Block 1, Barthel Rolling Hills reported that back in
the 90's there was an easement in the rear portion of her lot. As years went by there has been sitting
water. In the past couple of years it is more of a water issue to deal with. She explained it was like
a creek running through the backyards. Ms. Pauling informed the Council she had tried to keep the
easement or creek clear so it would run off.
Ms. Pauling went on to explain she has been dealing with neighbors plugging the drain causing
water problems. As of today, with all ofthe rain we have had it has turned from a creek to a lake.
Because of the water Ms. Pauling was unable to access the area except through the neighbor's
property to clear it.
Ms. Pauling shared with the Council in her research regarding this water issue there is an 8" drain
pipe on her land, which farther down becomes an 18" pipe. She suggested beginning with an 18"
pipe on her property and increasing it down the line.
Mayor Peterson recommended City Administrator Kruse and City Engineer Kasma look into this
easement and water issue.

Another concern that Ms. Pauling has is with mosquitoes in the area. With all the water sitting
around it is probably a breading area for them. Hearing about the issues of the West Nile virus that
mosquitoes carry I don't care to go outside for fear of getting bitten by a misquote carrying the
VIruS.
Mayor Peterson informed Ms. Pauling there are mosquitoes all over the place. The City did spray
the downtown area for Friendly City Days. At this time we did not have funds in the budget for
misquote control.
Mayor Peterson asked again if there was anyone else present to discuss an item, which is not on the
agenda.
Aaron Arnic of 10457 - 49th Street NE in the Albert Villas addition. He informed the Council he
attended the informational meeting on Wednesday, June 15th. He explained that his wife does
daycare and they would like to put a fence in the backyard to allow the kids to go outside to play.
With the wetland situation they are unable to identify where or how far back they could put the
fence. At the informational meeting they heard there was the possibility of grandfathering in some
of the lots. Moving to Albertville their expectations has put a hardship on their situation and not
being allowed to install the fence.
.
Mayor Peterson informed Mr. Arnic the City is dealing with the Albert Villas on a case-by-case
basis. Right now the main item the City wants to resolve is the wetland as a whole.

Edina Development Albert Villas Wetland Mitigation Deric Deuschle (S.E.H.) and City Attorney
Mike Couri
Deric Deuschle with S.E.H. reporting on the Albert Villas Wetland Mitigation. The
recommendations are listed in Resolution No. 2005-24 provided in the packet. Mr. Deuschle stated
an informational meeting was held with the residents last week. Deuschle stated there are ways to
deal with the wetland areas and bring the development in compliance with the DNR regarding the
wetland issues. Some will require Edina Development to complete while others may require
individual residents to comply.
.
City Attorney Couri stated items 1 through 9 of Section B are of more importance. These items must
be completed by Edina Development assuming they comply with the other items in the agreement and
before the City would approve any further building permits for lots in the Albert Villas Development.
City Attorney Couri pointed out areas within Resolution No. 2005-24 such as: Edina shall provide
written permission from the property owners of Lots 3 and 4 of Block 1, Albert Villas 6th Addition
authorizing the establishment of wetlands consistent with the mitigation area shown on the
Amended Mitigation Plan; and Edina shall provide the City with a letter of credit approved by the
City Attorney in the amount of$114,600 reflecting cost estimates of $50,000 for Edina to restore
unauthorized wetland filling as required by paragraph B.ll. of this resolution; $50,000 as the
estimated cost of constructing the mitigation wetlands required by the Amended Mitigation Plan;
and $14,600 as the estimated cost of monitoring the mitigated wetlands for a period of five years;
and this ghost plat shall be submitted prior to the establishment of mitigated wetlands on such
property. Edina Development need to come forward with a concept plan demonstrating this could
be developed without wetland issues.
Other areas City Attorney Couri brought to the City Council's attention are The Response (also
referred to as "Amended Mitigation Plan") attached as Exhibit A to this resolution is hereby approved,
subject to the following conditions listed below:
.
1. Edina shall pay all City costs incurred as a result of Edina's failureto comply with the
wetland mitigation plans, including all legal, planning, engineering, and environmental
consultant fees incurred by the City, as well as the value ofthe City Administrator's time (at
a rate of$50 per hour) devoted to the issues arising from Edina's failure to comply with the

wetland mitigation plans. The City shall send invoices from the Consultants to Edina for
reVIew.
2. Edina shall provide the City with drainage and utility easements over the following lots: Lot
8, Block 1, Albert Villas Second Addition; Lots 4, 5 and 7, Block 3 Albert Villas Sixth
Addition, and that area labeled "Future 7th Addition Concept" shown on the attached Exhibit
B. All such easements shall be on a form approved by the City Attorney, shall include all
wetlands and wetland mitigation areas on said lots, and Edina shall provide proof of good
title for all easements, including subordinations of all existing mortgages and release of all
liens on the properties. Edina shall provide written permission from the property owners of
Lots 3 and 4 of Block 1, Albert Villas 6th Addition authorizing the establishment of wetlands
consistent with the mitigation area shown on the Amended Mitigation Plan. For all
properties owned by Edina upon which Edina has or is required to establish mitigated
wetlands, Edina shall record a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants employing
substantially the same form as shown on the attached Exhibit C. Edina shall provide proof
Edina has good title to such property immediately prior to such recording, including proof
that no mortgages or liens take precedence over such Declaration of Restrictions and
Covenants.
3. Edina shall mail a notice to all owners of properties on which no covenants and restrictions
have been recorded related to wetlands. The notice shall be approved by the City
Administrator and shall conform to the wetland-related notices required of Edina with the
original plat approval.
4. Edina shall provide the City with a letter of credit approved by the City Attorney in the
amount of $114,600 reflecting cost estimates of $50,000 for Edina to restore unauthorized
wetland filling as required by paragraph B.l1. of this resolution; $50,000 as the estimated
cost of constructing the mitigation wetlands required by the Amended Mitigation Plan; and
$14,600 as the estimated cost of monitoring the mitigated wetlands for a period of five

letter of credit upon presentation of a written statement to the issuing authority by the City
detailing Edina's failure to comply with the terms of this resolution and presentation of the
City's statement as to the amount of money needed to effect such compliance. The form of
the letter of credit and issuing bank must meet the approval of the City Attorney. As Edina
performs the wetland restoration work required by paragraph B.ll. ofthis resolution in a
manner acceptable to the City and DNR, the City shall, at Edina's request, reduce that
portion of the letter of credit attributable to such restoration, provided that the amount of the
remaining portion of the letter of credit attributable to such restoration shall not be less than
the cost estimate of such restoration remaining to be completed pursuant to this Agreement.
5. On all lots in the Development currently owned by Edina, Edina shall record the wetland-
related restrictions required with the City's initial approval ofthe respective Developments.
6. Edina shall provide the City with a list of all property owners who were given wetland-

Developments required to be given to purchasers of the lots within the Developments.
7. Edina shall install wetland marker signs of a type and in such locations on easement areas
within the Developments as required by City staff. For all lots upon which no building

8. The City of Albertville shall be provided a ghost plat of "Phase 7" (the property adjacent to
Albert Villas 6th Addition which is owned by Edina and is to be used for constructing
mitigated wetlands) so it can be determined that the anticipated land uses and layouts will be
acceptable with the proposed mitigation areas. This ghost plat shall be submitted prior to
the establishment of mitigated wetlands on such property.
9. Edina shall obtain the written consent from the owners of Lots 3 and 4, Block 1 of Albert
Villa's 6th Addition sufficient to permit the recording of the Declaration of Restrictions and
Covenants attached as Exhibit C over said Lots and sufficient to permit the establishment of
wetland mitigation areas over said Lots. Edina shall be responsible for recording said
covenants and providing proof of good title for such covenants, including subordination of
any existing mortgages and release of any liens.
10. Unless a different date is specifically set out in this Agreement for any particular paragraph,
All wetland creation and restoration work to be performed by Edina shall be completed by
August 1,2005. All other work required of Edina under this Agreement must proceed in an
uninterrupted and expeditious manner.
11. Edina shall restore all wetlands that have been filled without proper authorization as of the
date of this resolution in the Developments where such filled wetlands: 1) are within City
drainage and utility easements; and 2) were not posted with wetland boundary marker signs
prior to the unauthorized filling; and 3) are located on the lots listed on the attached Exhibit
D. Edina shall coordinate all restoration actions with City staff and the landowners on
whose properties the filled wetlands are located. Edina shall not be required to restore
wetlands on properties, which the City finds the property owner has failed to sufficiently
cooperate with the City to restore the wetlands in a timely and acceptable manner. Edina
shall pay the costs incurred by the City in facilitating the restoration of these wetlands,
including all environmental, engineering and legal consulting costs. The City shall send
invoices from the Consultants to Edina for review. All such restoration work shall be
performed by Edina by September 15,2005, unless a later date is specified by the City. In
restoring such wetlands, Edina shall not remove, damage or destroy trees, bushes or shrubs
planted by the property owners if the planting of such items are not deemed fill under the
Wetland Conservation Act and the removal of such items are not required to restore the
wetlands.
12. Edina shall pay all engineering, environmental and legal consulting costs incurred by the
City in monitoring the mitigated wetlands for the period required by state law. The City
shall send invoices from the Consultants to Edina for review.
13. In the event one or more property owners of Lots 1-6, Block 6, Albert Villas Third Addition
apply for the relocation of the wetlands on these lots from the wetlands' current location to
another location on these lots and such petition is approved on a I-to-l replacement basis,
Edina shall relocate and re-establish said wetlands on the lots receiving approval under the
Wetland Conservation Act, provided the property owners receiving such approval grant
Edina access to one or more of the lots to perform the work. All such work shall be done at
Edina's expense, but Edina shall not be responsible for costs associated with said
application. Edina's obligation to perform the work required in this paragraph shall expire
for any lot not receiving such approval by December 31,2005.
14. Edina Development shall provide the City a survey of the mitigation sites for Albert Villas
Phases 1-6, which identifies the location of those sites in relation to existing easements of

the City including, but not limited to, wetland mitigation, drainage and utility easements.
The purpose of this condition is to allow the City to identify which mitigation sites are
currently within City controlled easements and which are located on private property.
15. Mitigation areas 1m though 4m shall surveyed in their current state to accurately identify the
proposed construction limits. The wetland delineation, as identified prior to construction,
shall also be staked in the field. These surveys will be evaluated by the LGU and/or TEP
panel members to determine if corrective action has been completed as proposed. Previous
surveys shall be abandoned.
16. As-built plans shall be provided on mitigation areas 1m through 4m. As-built drawings shall
also be provided for all wetland mitigation on Phases 3, 4, and 6. Mitigation and lor buffer
deficiencies in Phases 3, 4, and 6 if present, must also be compensated for either with
corrective action or replacement at 4: 1
17. Following construction, any areas determined to be deficient, either due to inadequate
construction or inability to gain access to complete construction, will be included in the
mitigation plan to be replaced at a 4: 1 replacement ratio. This specifically referenced to the
east side of mitigation 2m, but may apply to additional areas.
18. The additional wetland impact located between areas 7f and 8f shall be replaced 4: 1 rather
than the proposed 2: 1.
19. Mitigation areas 1m through 4m shall be re-seeded with a wetland seed mixture and will be
disk anchored with clean straw. The tag (list of species and quantities provided from the
vendor) from the wetland seed mixture used in the mitigation areas must be provided to the
City of Albertville.
20. The area between mitigation areas 3m and 4m must also be re-seeded and re-graded if the
survey referenced in Item 1 identifies this area as being filled wetland. This area can also be
mitigated off-site at a 4:1 ratio if restoration cannot be completed.
21. Mitigation site 3m shall have the sod removed from the bottom of the open water. The
removed material must be removed from the property and disposed of properly. Any
exposed bare ground will be seeded and mulched as per Item 6.
22. Damage to private property resulting from corrective action shall be restored immediately
following construction activities. This may include but not limited to, replacement of sod
damaged by construction vehicles.
23. Required signage shall be of a size and dimension and contain information as approved by
the City. A plan sheet identifying the proposed placement locations must also be submitted
for approval by the City prior to installation.
24. Edina Development Corporation shall be responsible for obtaining any necessary permanent
or temporary easements and/or rights-of-entry on private property for the purpose of
accessing, repairing, and maintaining mitigation sites and for sign placement. All such
easements and rights-of-entry are subject to approval by the City Attorney and City
Engineer.
25. Monitoring for all mitigation areas within all Phases of Albert Villas shall be reset to year
one status. Monitoring reports shall be submitted by August 15 of each year, starting in
2005, to allow for field verification within the growing season.

and buffers, and identifies the land uses allowed, or not allowed in these areas. These
materials must be provided to all residences within the Developments and shall include

figures that identify the wetlands present in all phases of the Developments. These materials
must meet the approval of the City Administrator. Examples of similar materials may be
obtained from the Board of Water and Soil Resources.
27. The large earthen mounds currently located in the vicinity of the new mitigation areas in
"Phase 7" must be removed.
28. Edina Development shall notify the City and its wetland consultants prior to any activity that
will require a field review and/or visual inspection. This will minimize resident impacts,
and will allow for prompt approval or identify additional corrective actions.
29. Edina Development is responsible for obtaining permission to enter private property to
perform corrective actions, and must obtain this permission in writing. These permissions
shall also include access rights for the City of Albertville, their representatives, and
regulatory personnel related to this project. Permission to access property to perform
corrective work related to compliance with the Wetland Conservation Act shall be granted in
perpetuity. Verbal approvals are vague, unreliable, and shall not be accepted.
30. Initiation of corrective action by Edina Development prior to approval of this permit
application is at their risk. Placement of signage, restoration or corrective action, or creation
of mitigation areas does not constitute approval.
31. Any violations or unwillingness to comply with this permit, or any of the attached
conditions, will be considered a violation of the Restoration Order and a violation of the
Amended Mitigation Plan and will be enforced with legal action and will be grounds for the
suspension of the issuance of building permits pursuant to the developer's agreements
applicable to the Developments.
City Attorney Couri reviewed number 13 listed above stating that Edina Development shall relocate
and re-establish said wetlands on the lots receiving approval under the Wetland Conservation Act,
provided the property owners receiving such approval grant Edina access to one or more of the lots
to perform the work.
City Attorney Couri informed the City Council they need to approve the contract prior to making a
motion to approve the Resolution No. 2005-24.
City Attorney Couri stated that when they went out and observed there were no wetland buffer
markers posted on a number ofthe lots in the Albert Villas Additions. There were lots 4,5, and 7,
which would like to grandfather in from the wetland buffer. In order to accomplish this would
require a variance and a public hearing.
City Attorney Couri reminded the City Council the Amended Wetland Mitigation Agreement needs
to be approved prior to the Council taking action on the Resolution.
.
City Attorney Couri reported there are several different classifications for the homeowners. The
homeowners have not been notified as of yet with the exception that one homeowner has been
notified and does not want a wetland in the backyard. City Attorney Couri stated it is a mixed bag,
some backyards have been corrected yet some have not.
Kyle Hegna, representing Edina Development informed the City Council there has been a lot going

on here with the Albert Villas Addition. The original case was presented in March 2005. Since
then we have recently met with staff on June 14, 2005 and reviewed the contract along with the
Resolution. Due to some e-mail errors I did not receive the revised copy until today, June 20th. The
revised copy has been forwarded to others within Edina Development for their review.
Mr. Hegna proceeded to address the concerns with the revised Resolution. Item B.13. Mr. Hegna
did not think was going to be addressed in the Resolution. Item B.I. Edina Development does not
agree to pay all of the costs incurred as a result of Edina's failure to comply with the wetland
mitigation plans, including all legal, planning, engineering, and environmental consultant fees
incurred by the City, as well as the value of the City Administrator's time (at a rate of$50 per hour)
devoted to the issues arising from Edina's failure to comply with the wetland mitigation plans.
City Attorney Couri pointed out they will be obligated to pay these costs as stated in the original
Developer's Agreement. The City can hold Edina Development to pay these costs.
The next item Mr. Hegna had a concern with was B.2. stating it is our position by placing the Letter
of Credit to draw from to ensure the easements are put in place. Edina Development brought this
before the City Council in April 2005 hoping the Letter of Credit would allow building permits to
be approved and released.
Mr. Hegna stated Edina Development would get notices out to the homeowners, but we need
addresses to send them to.
Mr. Hegna reminded the City Council they will be placing a Letter of Credit to ensure things are
completed. Edina Development needs to progress on the site, therefore we need the building
permits to be approved. The bankers we are working with are concerned as to why there is no
current construction of homes on the site.
Mayor Peterson asked Mr. Hegna if Edina Development agrees to the Amended Wetland Mitigation
Agreement. Mayor Peterson confirmed that the City Council can not proceed on this until we come
to an agreement on the contract. Once the City Council and Edina Development are in agreement
then we can approve the Resolution, Edina Development can complete the issues and we can allow
building permits to be issued. Mayor Peterson stated that $114,000 does not cover the City's
expenses. From what the City Council is hearing you have 9 areas you are not in agreement with in
the Resolution (1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 11, 13,29, and 31).
City Attorney Couri confirmed the agreement presented in the Council packet is not much different
than the one, which was presented to Edina Development in a staff meeting.
City Administrator Kruse responded to Section B.2. of the Resolution suggesting a ratio of a 4 to 1
replacement as an option.
City Attorney Couri stated that would be a possibility but would need to go before the TEP Panel
for approval.

City Administrator Kruse suggested extending the date from August 1, 2005 to August 15, 2005
allowing for rainy days to complete the work required by Edina Development to create and restore
the wetland areas.
Mayor Peterson asked Edina Development representatives ifthey agree to the Wetland Mitigation
Agreement. Mayor Peterson then came to the conclusion that Edina Development is not in
agreement as Edina Development did not respond to the question. He then suggested staff along
with Edina Development get together one more time to re-write the contract and present it to the
City Council.
Mr. Hegna stated Edina Development had submitted sufficient information to City Attorney Couri
and S.E.H. Edina Development feels as if we have done what was expected of them. Edina
Development cannot control what the homeowner's eventually did. That is why Edina
Development is going to put up the Letter of Credit to correct the issues. When Edina Development
presented this option in March of2005 it was $55,000 and now we are nearly $114,000.
Mayor Peterson then stated the City Council will allow you to take 10 minutes to resolve the
concerns you have in the Wetland Mitigation Agreement and the Resolution. At that time you
should be in agreement of the contract and Resolution so that we can approve them tonight.
City Attorney Couri reported there were some minor changes in the language in the Resolution.
Section B.2. the part, which talks about the easements. City Attorney Couri stated that Edina
Development need to get the easements from the property owner's. If Edina cannot obtain the
necessary easements after offering fair value to the property owners, Edina Development shall
replace said wetland at a 4 to 1 ratio on the property attached in Exhibit B. and shall provide
easements over said property. Section B. 10. extending the date from August 1,2005 to August 15,
2005 to allow for rainy days, with the exception the seeding may be completed by August 31, 2005.
Edina Development negotiated this anticipating building permits would be issued. If Edina
Development is unable to obtain building permits we are not in agreement. In Section B. 16. the
words and/or buffer will be omitted. In Section B. 21 last sentence shall read: Any exposed bare
ground will be seeded and mulched as per Item 19.
Mr. Hegna stated Edina Development would like the City to send out the notice rather us.
City Administrator Kruse shared that the City will work together with Edina Development getting
the notices out and meeting with the property owners.
Mayor Peterson informed Edina Development they need to complete items 1 through 9 of Section B
with or without. Once those are completed building permits will be issued.
City Attorney Couri stated there is an amended Mitigation Plan included in the City Council packet.
The City will have to monitor the progress of the work to ensure compliance.

MacIver Avenue Street and Utility Proposal
City Engineer Kasma reported based on the request we have prepared an estimate to prepare a
Preliminary Engineering Report. Our proposal for Street and Utility Improvement for MacIver
Avenue NE from the Wastewater Treatment Plant to N/S MacIver Avenue NE is estimated at
$9,500. We propose to use Braun Intertec at an additional cost of$I,750 for three (3) soil borings
and a geotechnical report. If you would like a feasibility study done to provide sewer and water
service to the city-owned property northeast of the plan, we estimate the cost not-to-exceed $4,500.
Motion was made by Mayor Peterson to table the MacIver Avenue NE Street and Utility Proposal
to the July 5, 2005 City Council meeting.
Update on Streetlight on Kassel Avenue NE
City Engineer Kasma wanted clarification as to where Council recommended the streetlight should
be placed on Kassel Avenue NE. The street has the first lift on and he wanted to make sure so when
they place the second lift we do not have to relocate the streetlight.
Council stated on the comer of Kassel Avenue NE and Jason Avenue NE as it is rather dark in the
evening and hard to see the street sign.
Update on Streetlight Replacement on the 1-94 East exit ramp & CR 19
City Engineer Kasma informed the Council he would report on this combined with the temporary
stop lights on the comer of CR 19 and 50th Street NE at a future meeting.
City Engineer Kasma reported staff is meeting with the TEP Panel on Tuesday, June 21, 2005 at
2:00 p.m. at Albertville City Hall to discuss the Hunter's Pass Estates. At that time I will ask them
about the streetlight replacement on 1-94 and CR 19 along with the stop lights at the intersection of
CR 19 and 50th Street NE.
