Rezoning from PID to 0-1 S-77-28 Northwestern Bank Addition Refer to: Attached graphic and preliminary plat The subject property is a two acre tract of land located between County Road 18 and Washington Avenue, and north of Valley View Road. This property is presently zoned PID, which is in conformance with the Southwest Edina Plan. Banco Properties, Inc. proposes to construct a detached banking facility for Northwestern National Bank of Hopkins on this site. A preliminary site plan is attached for this facility. Staff has determined that a detached banking facility is classified as a financial institution which is not an allowable use in PID zones but is allowable in office zones. Therefore, the proponents are requesting a rezoning to 0-1 Office District. A preliminary plat of the property is . also requested. Recommendations Staff believes that the proposed rezoning and use of the site is appropriate based upon its proximity to the County Road 18 - Valley View Road Interchange. In other similar locations, such as the T.H. 100 - Industrial Blvd. industrial area, we have allowed office uses in more visible locations in close proximity to major interchanges while locating industrial uses in less visible areas. Due to the Southwest Edina Plan, however, staff is somewhat reluctant to recommend the rezoning of one parcel of property without concurrently amending the Southwest Edina Plan. Therefore, staff recommends a plan amendment to designate an area abutting the County Road 18 - Valley View Road interchange as office uses as shown on the attached graphic. Staff recommends this amendment in that: 1) the improvements to the Valley View - County Road 18 interchange are essentially complete 2) the area is well suited for office uses. 3) the existing parcels of property in this area are below minimum size requirements for PID uses and would require variances to allow such uses. Such variances would not be required for office uses. Staff recommends approval of the requested rezoning and subdivision with the following conditions and modifications: Z-77-20 and S-77-28 Banco Properties Page 2 November 30, 1977 1) Parkland dedication per the attached report. 2) Rezoning is contingent cn the amendment of the Southwest Edina Plan. 3) Rezoning is contingent on final plat approval.

Refer to: Attached preliminary plat and Indian Meadows graphics Three years ago, the Planning Commission reviewed and approved a development proposal known as Indian Meadows for the area referred to as the Schuster property. This site measured 70 acres in size and extended from Dewey Hill Road on the north to W. 78th Street on the south. A development plan was approved which would allow 40 single family dwellings on the northerly portion of the property which remained R-1 zoning and 291 multiple dwelling units on the southerly portion of the site which was proposed to be rezoned PRD -2. The northerly and southerly portions of the site were divided by open space lands dedicated for the Southwest Edina storm sewer ponding system. The single family lots on the northerly portion of the site were to be served by two cul-de-sac streets from Dewey Hill Road. Multiple family residences on the southerly portion of the site were to be served by a cul-de-sac from W. 78th Street. Since its approval by the Planning Commission, the subject property has been sold. The present owners are now proposing a single family subdivision of the northerly portion of the site. Access to such lots would be provided by a cul-de-sac from Dewey Hill woad. As compared to the previously approved plan for the northerly portion of the site, the present plan proposes a reduction in the total number of lots from 40 to 26. These lots range in size from 18,000 square feet to 53,000 square feet which is substantially larger than existing lots to the north and east. A 20 foot wide out_lot is also proposed westerly of Lot 1 to provide access from Dewey Hill Road to City owned lands. Staff and the proponents have discussed generally the development of the southerly portion of the Schuster property, i.e., that portion of the Indian Meadows concept proposed for multiple dwellings Although the proponents have not submitted any plans for this area, they have indicated their intent to propose a lower density development than previously approved. Adequate access and traffic circulation is of primary concern for the southern portion of the site. Planning Commission will recall bat in its approval of Braemar Hills 9th Addition on November 2, 1977, it requested that three lots be identified as an outlot to facilitate the possible access extension of a roadway to serve the southerly portion of the Schuster property. Although Delaney Blvd. had not been authorized by the Council, this roadway could serve the Schuster property from the east. West 78th Street provides southerly access. Therefore, due to 1) the provision of adequate access from the east, south and west, 2) the multiple residential character of the S-77-27 Dewey Hills Addn. Page 2 November 30, 1977 southerly portion of the property and the single family character of the northerly portion of the property as well as other properties, 3) the natural division between the northerly and southerly portions of the property created by public open space lands and the Southwest Edina storm sewer ponds and 4) perceived traffic problems on Dewey Hill Road, Planning Staff . believes that the northerly and southerly portions of the site should not be connected with a roadway. Such a connection was not proposed as part of the Indian Meadows concept. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision in that: 1) the proposal conforms with the Southwest Edina Plan. 2) the subdivision proposes a lower density than the previously approved Indian Meadows concept. 3) lot sizes are similar to and exceed existing single family lots in the vicinity of the subject property. 4) adequate access to public open space lands has been pro- vided from Dewey Hill Road. Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications: 1) an executed developer's agreement. 2) submission of an erosion control plan.

Dunn, City Engineer SUBJECT: Utility Utility and Miscellaneous Engineering Considerations Proposed Dewey Hill Addition A review of preliminary information submitted raises the following preliminary utility and miscellaneous engineering concerns regarding proposed Dewey Hill Addition that must be resolved before final approval can be recommended: 1. Need development plan for entire Schuster property to finalize road pattern and traffic flow in Southwest area. 2. Watermain must be connected to Buchanan Addition line and extended through cul de sac to Dewey Hill. 3. Watermain in West cul de sac can be 12" Copper to serve five homes. 4. Park land dedication or fee. 5. West cul de sac grade is extreme and must be re-examined. 6. Water services on Dewey Hill Road that are not used must be cut off at main and sanitary sewer services plugged at curb line. 7. Homeowner's Association, must, by documentation, assume responsibility for maintenance of barrier built along Dewey Hill and islands in street right-of-way. 8. To determine path location in this plat, we should have overall path plan for southwest area. 9. When location of path in this plat has been determined, who is to build it? 10. Open area at West edge of plat is not needed by City for ponding. Area below 840 contour is subject to flooding however,and must be maintained as open space/nature area. 11. Dewey Hill Road will, in the future, be improved with concrete curb and gutter, bituminous paving and sidewalk to M.S.A. Standard Section. If road pattern in area can be finalized per Item #l, this project should be undertaken in 1978. 12. Drainage plan, including drainage structures located off public right-of- way, must be evaluated to insure complete drainage of property. Might be necessary to document restrictions on grading of lots to insure proper drainage to on site structures. 13. Suggested street sections must be evaluated for durability and proper function. MEMORANDUM November 23, 1977 TO: Robert Kojetin FROM: Gordon L. Hughes SUBJECT: Parkland Dedication for Dewey Hill Addition We have received a preliminary subdivision for the northerly portion of the Schuster property. A development proposal, Indian Meadows, was approved three years ago for this property. At that time, the owner of the property dedicated to the City a substantial amount of property for the Southwest Edina storm sewer ponding areas and open space purposes. However, in that density for the Indian Meadows plan was based upon all the Schuster property including that dedicated to the City, the Park Board felt that an additional 5% cash dedication should be made (i.e., the concept being that the property dedicated by Schuster was worthless to him in that he received all the development density he was entitled to). In that this subdivision was never completed, this 5% dedication ($52,000) was not made. The present preliminary subdivision proposes a substantial reduction in density as compared to the Indian Meadows plan. Therefore, I believe that the original rationale for requesting a cash dedication is no longer valid since the owner is not now deriving any density benefits from the lands previously dedicated to the City. I recommend that no additional cash dedication should be required at this time. Lastly, I think it is important to review our ordinance requirements regarding park dedication. The ordinance does not state that land must be dedicated solely for park (i.e., active park) purposes. It states that "land shall be dedicated for parks, playgrounds, public open space, or storm water holding areas or ponds." I thus believe that the dedication made for the Southeast Edina storm water ponds satisfies ordinance require- ments for parkland dedication.

Presently, Lots 5 and 6 are oriented in a north/south direction. The effect of the proposed replat is to orient these lots in an east/west direction. Each of the three new lots created would measure about 1.3 acres. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision in that: 1) no additional lots will be created. 2) the request complies with the subdivision and zoning ordinance. 3) Parkland dedication per the attached report.

Generally located east of Z-77-18 Gleaseon Road extended and north of W. 78th Street. PRD -2 to R-1 and R-2 District. Refer to: June 27, 1973 and August 1, 1973 Planning Commission Minutes, Hills of Braemar Town- house graphic, preliminary plat. Four years ago, the subject property was rezoned to PRD -2, Planned Residential District to allow the construction of 132 units in the form of 33 quadraminium buildings. The location of such buildings and appurtenant access roadways are shown on the attached graphic. To date, 4 quadraminiums and a recreation building have been constructed in conformance with the approved development plan for this property. In addition, the property surrounding these completed units has beE�n platted as Braemar Hills 8th Addition. The proponents are presently requesting a rezoning from PRD -2 to R-1 and R-2. A 45 lot subdivision is also requested. As proposed, the 29 lots located in Blocks 1, 2, 3 and 4 would be zoned R-1 and the 16 lots located in Blocks 5 and 6 would be zoned R-2. Outlot A which measures 3.56 acres would be dedicated to the City according to the proposed subdivision. As compared to the previously approved PRD -2 plan, the present subdivision proposes to use essentially the same building sites for R-1 and R-2 dwellings which would have been used for quadraminiums. Stonewood Court which is located northerly of Gleason Road is located on nearly the same alignment as proposed by the previous plan. The alignment of Tanglewood Court has been altered signi:_icantly to provide additional sight distance for traffic approaching its :intersection with Gleason Road. Excluding existing and planned quadraminiums in Braemar Hills 8th Addition, the present plan proposes a reduction in the total number of dwelling units from 112 to 61 as compared to the previously approved PRD -2 plan. The Planning Commission may recall that the protection of the heavily wooded steep slopes on the property was of such concern when reviewing the previous PRD plan. The present subdivision proposes to limit considerably construction on such slopes and proposes to dedicate most of these areas to the City. Staff is somewhat concerned ­:aith the relationship of the subject property with the vacant lands located easterly. The Planning Commission will recall that a development plan entitled Indian Meadows was approved for this property several years ago. However, this property has been sold recently and the present owner has indicated his intent not to proceed with the Indian Meadows concept. Of primary concern to staff is the advisability of extending Stonewood Court on the subject property into the property to the east to provide a secondary means of access. Therefore, staff believes that adequate right-of-way should be reserved to facilitate the extension of Stonewood Court if warranted by the development of the property to the east. Braemar Hills 9th Addition Page -2- November 2, 1977 Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the requested subdivision and rezoning in that: 1) the proposal conforms with the Southwest Edina Plan. 2) the heavily wooded steep slopes on the site are adequately protected. 3) the realignment of Tanglewood Court is desirable. 4) adequate setbacks from existing and planned quadraminiums are maintained. Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications: 1) lots 8, 9 and 10, Block 4 must be identified as an outlot to facilitate the easterly extension of Stonewood Court if warranted. 2) a storm water storage easement must be.dedicated on portions of Lots 1, 2,4, 5, and 6, Block 4. 3) an executed deed to the City of Edina for Outlot A. 4) an executed developer's agreement. 5) relocation, removals and re -sealing of existing storm sewers, water services, and sewer services per the attached preliminary engineering report. 6) dedication of a 15 foot wide strip of land on the north edge of Lot 14, Block 4. 7) submission of a suitable landscape plan for Braemar Hills 8th Addition 8) all activities relating to the landscaping and snow removal business located on Blocks 5 and 6 must be terminated and all equipment, materials and supplies removed prior to final plat approval for any portion of the subject: property. 9) within 180 days following final plat approval for Blocks 5 and 6, all dwellings and structures located on Blocks 5 and 6 must be satisfactorily removed. A performance bond in the amount of $5,000 will be required at the time of final plat approval to assure removal of such structures. 10) submission of an erosion control plan.

Refer to: November 2, 1977 Staff Report and excerpts from the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District Overall Plan The Planning Commission will recall.that the subject subdivision was continued on November 2, 1977, for consideration of questions raised by surrounding property owners. Most of these questions concerned the effect of the proposed subdivision on Nine Mile Creek and its flood plain. Staff has reviewed these questions and concerns and submits the following information: 1) Effects upon the Olsen home - 6725 Cahill Road? The Olsen home was constructed shortly after establishment of the watershed district and prior to adoption of the City's flood plain ordinance. Unfortunately, the Olsen home was constructed about one foot lower than the 100 year flood plain elevation of Nine Mile Creek. However, Barr Engineering Company, hydrologists for the. Nine Mile Creek Uatershed District computes that the proposed Brookview Heights 5th Addition will increase the flood elevation of Nine Mile Creek by approximately one inch. Thus, staff concludes that the requested subdivision's effect on the Olsen home is insignificant. 2) Effect of Highway 100 improvement on flood plain elevations: Staff has reviewed the plans for Highway 100 improvements. We find that these improvements have in the past and will in the future replace obsolete and undersized culverts with larger culverts. Thus, we believe that flood plain elevations will decrease rather than increase as a result of these improvements. Nevertheless, we have requested the watershed district to review flood plain elevations in the vicinity of 70th Street. However, we believe that effects of Highway 100 improvements on flood plain elevations should have no bearing upon the review of Brookview Heights 5th Addition. 3) Probablity of 200 year rainfall? We cannot prove statistically that the 200 year rain will -not happen again for 200 years. Such a rainfall which occurred on August 30, 1977, could happen again tomorrow. However, the probability of such an occurrence is statistically shown to occur once in every 200 }tears. For flood plain management purposes, the City, the State, the watershed district, and the Federal Government use the 100 year frequency rainfall as a criterion. S-77-21 Brookview Heights 5th Addn. Page 2 November 30, 1977 4) Effect of climate changes on flood plain elevations? Staff cannot answer this question. We believe a comprehensive study undertaken at great cost would be necessary to document such changes in climatic conditions. 5) Effect of "20% encroachment" rule. Since its creation in 1961, the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District has enforced a regulation of allowing only 20% encroachment into the flood plain. Thus flood plain elevations which are used by the watershed district and the City assume a total encroachment or loss of 20% of the flood plain. On past occasions we have allowed the maximum 20% encroachment on several properties such as the Wallace. Kenneth property and Fountainwoods apartments. In many other cases the City and watershed district have approved developments utilizing less than 20% of the flood plain. Brookview Heights 5th Addition proposes an encroachment of 13% which is well below the maximum allowed. The remainder of the flood plain (4 acres) would be dedicated to the City. 6) The 200 foot wide greenbelt along Nine Mile Creek. Nine Mile Creek meanders extensively throughout the area between Valley View Road and 70th Street. As part of previously approved subdivisions, a 200 wide greenbelt was obtained in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision. Obviously, the creek does not run straight through this greenbelt, but meanders from side to side. Nevertheless, we believe that a green belt of this width is adequate to protect the natural character of the creek. Recommendation: On November 2, 1977, staff recommended approval of this subdivision with some conditions and modifications. Staff continues to recommend approval. Staff believes this proposal conforms with all City requirements regarding flood plain management and dedication of parks and open space lands. GH: ks 11/23/77 0 PLANNING COMMISSION STAFF REPORT November 2, 1977 S-77-21 Brookview Heights 5th Addition. C. Jacobson. Generally located east of Cahill Rd. and 9 Mile Creek, west of the M.N. & S. Railroad tracks and north of W. 70th Street (an extension of Limerick Lane). Refer to: Attached preliminary plat, grading plan, and parkland dedication report. The subject property is a 13 acre tract of land located between the M.N.S. Railroad tracks and Nine Mile Creek immediately south of W. 66th Street. An 18 lot single family subdivision is proposed which would be served by the southerly extension of Limerick Drive. The average lot size for the subdivision would be 18,700 square feet which is somewhat larger than existing single family lots located easterly and westerly of the subject property. Nearly one half of the subject property lies within the flood plain of Nine Mile Creek. The proponent has submitted a grading plan for the site which has been reviewed by staff and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. The Watershed District has indicated that the proposed grading plan complies with its rules and regulations in that a flood plain encroachment of less than 20% is proposed. The remaining fl6.od plain lands have been designated as Outlot A which measures 3.93 acres. The proponent has indicated his intent to dedicate this outlot to the City. A 200 foot wide strip of land abutting the west side of the subject property and bisected by Nine Mile Creek was dedicated to the City in conjunction with a previous subdivision. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed subdivision and flood plain permit in that: 1) the proposed land use is in conformance with the Western Edina Plan. 2) lot sizes are generally consistent and somewhat larger than surrounding subdivisions. 3) proposed flood plain encroachment is within standards of the City and the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District. Approval is recommended with the following conditions and modifications: I) a deed to the City of Edina for Outlot A. 2) adequate erosion control measures to prevent sediments resulting from site grading from entering the flood plain lands and Nine Mile Creek. 3) those items contained in the attached preliminary engineering report. H. Additional Projects The District will undertake such other projects as are petitioned for, provided that they are in general conformity with the Overall Plan and in agreement with the purposes of the District. S E C T I O N V BASIC WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN A. General Increasing urban development may be expected to increase flood problems in the District. Buildings, streets, parking lots and other impervious surfaces prevent much of the rainfall from soaking into the ground. Since storm water is not tolerated, lawns and streets are graded to remove excess water as quickly as possible. Urbanization also increases the pressure for development of the remaining open land and hence increases the potential for flooding. Presently, runoff water is stored in ponds and depressions in the upper parts of the watershed. Surface water which reaches the creek spreads over broad marshes in the flood plain. Regulation and control over these remaining open lands is needed to prevent the loss of needed water storage sites within the District. The Managers recognize the desire to remove storm water from lawns and streets as quickly as possible, however, the resulting increased flows must be handled if problems are to be avoided. The District has two choices. (1) The increased runoff can be rushed toward the outlet without storage. This method will involve large storm sewers, very large channels and bridges and extensive erosion control. (2) The second alternative is to reduce the flood flows by storage in locations where the sites will be an asset to the community during the long period between floods. The basic mater management plan for the District seeks to retain and provide water storage facilities. These water storage facilities unquestionably are beneficial in controlling the floods and reducing costs of flood control works. They can also be valuable public assets during the long span of time between floods. The public, in fact, will be primarily aware of the value of these facilities in terms of beauty, recreation and parks. Most of the j water storage sites will be the natural marshes, lakes, ponds and flood plain which will be retained with little modification. Others will require modifi— cation to make the storage areas compatible with an urban community and the land use determinations of the municipalities. The principal features of the District's basic Water Management Plan are shown on page 22. B. 105th Street Constriction The 1600 acres south of the line of 94th Street in Bloomington are directly tributary to the steep portion of Nine Mile Creek just discussed. Much of this area is already platted and it is likely that streambank erosion will occur during the bigger storms. To protect against such conditions, a constriction should be constructed in the valley near the old mill site at about 105th Street. This constriction would be of such capacity that it would have no effect on the normal flows or upon the minor floods which the channel can handle without erosion. When the channel capacity is exceeded, the con— striction would back the water up behind a dike and temporarily store the water in the valley until it can be carried downstream without damage. C. Marsh Lake Site The marsh lying east of France Avenue in the vicinity of 94th Street in Bloomington is the last chance to catch and store the flood water before it flows into the steep channel descending to the Minnesota River. The Marsh Lake development is shown on the Water Management Plan and in more detail on page 23. This project has been completed by the City of Bloomington and the Watershed District. In addition to its function as a storm water detention basin, it is proposed that the area be retained as a wildlife refuge. The Marsh Lake project represents a conscious effort made early in Bloomington's development to preserve and utilize a significant natural area of the community. Unless such an effort is made throughout the District, all of the land will be covered by artificial works of man and most wildlife will disappear from the area. If an island of natural wild conditions is to be retained in this watershed, this location seems most feasible. In addition to its flood water storage and wildlife value, Marsh Lake will be an area of openness and rustic beauty. The land within the 805 foot contour should be retained for storage purposes. The normal water level has been established at elevation 799. D. Mount Normandale Lake Site A 135 acre lake will be created in the Nine Mile Creek Valley just west of Normandale Avenue in Bloomington. This area is now part of the broad marsh flood plain. The control structure and dam along Normandale Avenue are the major construction required. The proposed lake is shown on the Water Management Plan and in more detail on page 25. The City of Bloomington and the District have previously cooperated on a feasibility study of this site. They are presently cooperating on the final design. The plan shows a normal water level at elevation 810 with an average depth of six feet. At this elevation, the shores will be steep enough to minimize problems with aquatic vegetation along the shoreline. During floods, the lake level will rise, storing excess waters, then fall as the water is slowly released into the creek downstream. On the average of once in 100 years, it is expected to rise about four feet to elevation 814. E. Mud Lake Site The marsh area lying between Vernon Avenue and Crosstown Highway 62 is an ideal site for flood water storage. A meandered lake known as Mud Lake makes up most of the marsh. Several alternatives were set forth in a detailed report prepared by the District for the Village of Edina. These include continuation as a marsh, or constructing dikes between small knolls and across Nine Mile Creek to enlarge Mud Lake. The site is shown on the Water Management Plan and in more detail on page 27. This plan shows the site as a natural area. If a lake is developed, the normal water level will be about elevation 860 with a maximum water depth of 14 feet, an average depth of S� feet and a lake area of approximately 120 acres. The shoreline will be steep enough to minimize trouble with aquatic vegetation. During floods the lake level will rise to store excess water until it can flow slowly out into the creek down- stream. A rise of 3' feet in the lake level is expected to occur on the average of once in 100 years. At the proposed normal level of elevation 860 the lake will back up a short distance north of Vernon Avenue. F. Smetana Lake The South Fork of Nine Mile Creek flows through a small lake west of County Road 18 known locally as Smetana Lake. It has deep open water in the center and a broad fringe of marsh around the edge. This lake can be improved by raising the water level approximately four feet to about elevation 838 by constructing a dam in the outlet channel. This would bring the water level up against the steeper slopes of the surrounding hillsides. An additional advantage is that it makes possible a diversion to Anderson Lakes if such a diversion proves desirable or feasible as a means of maintaining the level of Anderson Lakes and Bush Lake. G. Anderson and -Bush Lakes The principal concern in the Anderson and Bush Lake area is the stabil- ization of the lake levels. The District in cooperation with the City of Bloomington and the Hennepin County Park Reserve District has completed a study to determine the recommended outlet size and location, for each of the lakes. This study recommended that the Bush Lake well be used as the primary source of water if lake augmentation is considered necessary to maintain satisfactory water levels. H. Flood Plain Zonin^ To alleviate flood damages there should be a combination of structural r i t f 26 Sworks and regulations of developments in the flood plain. Buildings and other valuable improvements which can be damaged by water should not be built in areas reached by flood waters. To insure that such is the case, the District has established flood zones in which construction is restricted. Maps of the flood plain have been made available to all municipalities. State law requires -the adoption of municipal flood plain and shoreland ordinances. Platting and development are encroaching into the flood plain area of Nine Mile Creek. Flood zones to regulate development cannot, however, be precisely determined until the flood control facilities are planned in detail. To permit some balance between regulation and planning, a relatively conserva- tive flood zone has been established along the main channel as part of this Overall Plan. The Flood Plain I-:ap is shown on page 29. I. Phase I. Flood Zone - Overall Plan The flood zone elevations at various points along .the creek are shown on the profile on page 30. No improvements which can be damaged by water will be permitted below the indicated elevation. Since many of the proposed storage basins are not yet constructed, the natural marshes are the principal means of flood protection. Accordingly, the net encroachment onto the flood plain will be restricted to 20 percent or less of the flood plain area of the parcel being considered for development. If filling is requested as part of a municipal public land development plan around the Marsh Lake, Mount Normandale Lake and Mud Lake sites, it may be permitted on lands outside the limits of the proposed lakes upon a showing of public necessity. J. Phase II. Flood Zone - Detailed Design Detailed design of the basic water management system will permit re- finement of the flood zone elevations. It also provides information for deter- mination of the right-of-way required for the creek and storage sites and the sizes of culverts and bridges. The detailed design will provide a reliable, workable framework for planning and platting of adjoining property. The restrictions on encroachments upon the flood plain will be determined as part of the detailed design. The Managers believe that the enforcement of the building restrictions protecting the flood zones can best be accomplished by the municipalities, through their building, zoning and platting ordinances and the flood plain and shorelands ordinances to be adopted. K. Phase III Flood Zone- Basic Water Management Facilities After the basic water management facilities are constructed in accord- ance with the detailed plan prepared in Phase II, the flood zones will be subject to modification and some of the land in the flood plain may be avail- able for development. Building must still be restricted below the new flood zone elevation. .S E C T I 0 N VI ENGINEERING DATA A. County Ditches At present there are three county ditches in the District. The loca- tion of these three ditches are shown on page 1,2. Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 112.65, the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County has transferred jurisdiction over the county ditches to the Managers. County Ditch 1 forms the main channel of Nine Mile Creek through the marshes in Bloomington beginning at the junction of the North and South Forks and ending just south of 98th Street. As part of the Marsh Lake project, a dam was placed in County Ditch 1 for water control and maintenance purposes, in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 106. County Ditch 34 begins at Birch Island Lake and joins the South Fork of Nine Mile Creek at Bryant Lake. County Ditch 41 forms the channel of the North Fork near the southeast corner of Hopkins. It extends approximately one-sixth of a mile on the west side of County Road 18 and three-fourths of a mile on the east side. B. Storm Sewers Approximately one-half of the watershed is storm severed. The Watershed District has reviewed the storm sewers that have been constructed since the adoption of the Overall Plan.
