Staff: Mike Robertson, City Administrator; Judy Hudson, City Clerk/Zoning Administrator; Carol Olson, Deputy Clerk; Dan Licht, City Planner; Andrew MacArthur, City Attorney, Ron Wagner, City Engineer and Jerry Olson, Building Official. 2. Existing Conditions/ Regulations Mr. MacArthur summarized the Federal Flood Mitigation Grant Program as explained in his handout. He also said that staff needs to get information from residents living on Parrish Avenue such as expenses, damage etc. Mr. MacArthur stressed this is strictly a voluntary program and residents can drop out at any time. Mike Robertson let everyone know that staff doesn't have all the answers as they are just starting to look at this program, but will try and address all questions. The septic rules are mostly state and county ordinances and not entirely under the control of the City. A. 100 Year d Ian F�d ain Ron Wagner went over 0 'I 0_� 10 loo i� loo P, i w �he Md Plain 7a wh ch as distributed to everyone. He explained the 10 and 100 Year Flood Plains. B. U.S. ArmY CoKp of En Protection Dike. I . Jurisdiction. 2. Design/M iintenance/Condition. Ron Wagner explained the dike was constructed in 1969 as an emergency dike. Soil used on the east side dike was sandy and not clay. No one claims responsibility for either side and there are no easements recorded for either the east or west side dikes. He also explained the soil conditions, which are poor and make poor building sites. C. SewMe Treatment. I . Area.�oil conditions. 2. Sew we Treatment QrriJnnn,,P_ A. Poi it -of -Sale. B.

Access. 2. First floor elevation. 3. Flood proof structures. 4. Semic location. 5. Non -conforming status. Dan Licht explained what is allowed to be built which is basically roofing, re -siding, gutters, internal mechanics, and internal alternations that don't trigger a septic certification upgrade. Mr. Licht reviewed septic locations and setbacks. Mr. Licht said that vacant properties would not be allowed construction of new homes. Mayor Fournier stated the Council has not made any decisions on this project. That this meeting is to share information. At this point, Mayor Fournier opened for any public comments. Darlene Solberg, 9912 Parrish Avenue. She said she sits at 866 elevation, which is below the 100 year Flood and wants to know where Ron Wagner received his information. Mr. Wagner replied FEMA determines the elevations of the Ten and Hundred Year Floods. Ms. Solberg said that in 1965 the water came close to her house but didn't come up to the main floor. Paul Onstad, 10168 Parrish Avenue. He said he understands the problem s but all this will make it impossible to sell while all this is being decided and he feels the price of his property will go down. Mr. MacArthur explained an appraiser would determine the fair market value. He also explained not every house has to participate in the program. The City must take into account if there is a sufficient amount of people who want to participate. Once the City purchases the property, it can't be resold but will be made into a park. A decision needs to be made by November in order to apply this year. It is a Federal program and could take six months for them to reply. Randy DeRosier, 10175 Parrish Avenue. He said his sewer system is 20 years old and is concerned he wouldn't be able to replace it. He stated he wants to participate in this program. He can't sell his house now, and during the last 10 years he has pumped 6 times. He also asked what are their options if there is no Federal Grant money. Jerry Olson, Building Official, explained the Wright County Point of Sale Ordinance. He said a few septics have been replaced over the past two years and they were designed to meet the Ordinance but there are now more restrictions. Mr. Olson said possibly an elevated mound system could be installed but they are very expensive. Parrish Avenue Information Meeting cont'd. Page 3. ft Earl Dehmer 10029 Parrish. Mr. Dehmer said he is probably at the lowest elevation on Parrish and is in the same situation as the DeRosiers. His house is too small for his family and his only option is to sell. He asked what he could do now with his septic. Andy MacArthur told Mr. Dehmer to let the City know if he is interested in this program. Mr. Dehmer asked if the City would prioritize properties. Mr. MacArthur replied there is no limitation but there is only so much grant money. FEMA hasn't been overwhelmed with applications and when Andy explained to them Otsego's situation, they thought we would be in a good situation. Dan Licht estimated there are about 25 homes within the 100 Year Floodplain. Mark Thiltgen, 10003 Parrish Avenue. He said he was confused as it sounds like either all residents participate or none. Dan Licht replied the City would need to get enough participation to form a park but did not expect that everyone would participate. Mr. Thiltgen said they have had to pump but he doesn't know if he wants to participate in this program but if all go he would just as soon be in it. Darlene Solberg asked about a Living Estate. She said her septic is good enough for her but not for a family. Mr. MacArthur explained the Living Estate wouldn't apply for this type of situation. Gilbert Ebner, Detroit Lakes. He has the property at the far north end of Parrish Avenue. He feels the Cit� is abandoning the Parrish Avenue Peninsula and there are' very few options for property owners in this area. He asked if the City would be willing to claim responsibility for the peninsula and protect it. He feels this is a nice area and a permanent dike with sewer and water would make it very attractive. He would like some decisions made. Mr. MacArthur explained any improvements done would be assessed back to the homeowners. He suggested the homeowners looking into forming a Homeowners Association where they could maintain the dike. A lot of the restrictions are restrictions where the City does not have control over Federal Law and the City is required to administer them. A purpose of this meeting is to bring attention to everyone what the problems are, what could happen and find solutions and to get information. Terry Bridges, 9951 Parrish Avenue. He feels Parrish Avenue has gotten a lot busier and has heard a rumor that the City is building a 4 -lane road. He said more than just Parrish Avenue residents should pay for any upgrades to it. He has lived here for I I or 12 years and hasn't had to pump too many times and is not interested in selling. But, he couldn't afford any assessments for water and sewer or street improvements. He asked what are the plans for Parrish Avenue for the next 10 to 15 years. Mayor Fournier explained Parrish Avenue is a County Road and the City doesn't have the final say. Ron Wagner said Parrish Avenue is not on the County's 5 Year Plan for upgrades. Parrish Avenue Information Meeting cont'd. Page 4. Lance Walters, 10099 Parrish Avenue. If the City goes with the program and your offer would be too low to take, and the 300 -foot setback gets put in force, would the residents be grand fathered in. Mr. MacArthur said the 300 foot setback would only be required if the DNR made the City pass it. Shelly Biaka, Remax Realty, who has the Ebner property listed, stated there has been a lot of interest but have been told the septic system can't be updated. What can be done? She asked if a sealed tank would be allowed. Dan Licht replied it wouldn't be allowed. Earl Dehmer, 10029 Parrish Avenue. He questioned if the land could be converted into a Park. He was told yes. Mark Thiltgen. He said if Earl Dehmer sells and they can't get a septic system approved, can they sell the property? Dan Licht replied that this is the situation the City is dealing with and which needs a solution. John Polejewski, 10307 Parrish Avenue. He stated that whatever the cost of the septic that price would be reflected in the appraisal. He also asked what would sewer and water cost. He also said this is a good place to live. Ron Wagner estimated sewer and water would be at least $30,000 per lot not including SAC and WAC Fees, raising Parrish Avenue or repairing the Dike and that does not include easement costs for sewer and water. Chip Martin, 10226 Parrish Avenue, agreed with Gilbert Ebner comments. He feels that Parrish Avenue residents are not the only ones benefiting from this area. When Parrish Avenue was constructed he asked the County to have it raised. He stated he plans on staying here. Terry Bridges asked for clarification on septic systems. Jerry Olson explained that they need to be 6 inches above the 100 Year Flood. Gilbert Ebner stated that after hearing all of this he feels his choices are abandon the property or sell to the City, or for the City to fix the dike, put in water and sewer, raise the road that will be expensive but would increase the value of the area for developers. Dan Licht said the City is still subject to the Wild and Scenic Rules and State Laws. Mr. MacArthur said the residents could petition the City for Water and Sewer. Mayor Fournier noted there are problems and there are solutions and he wants the residents and the City to get more information. Staff set a meeting for Thursday, May 16 for all residents who are interested in participating in the FEMA Grant Program starting at 9 AM. The Council directed Ron Wagner to get an estimate for extending water and sewer and raising the road. Parrish Avenue Information.Nleeting cont'd. Page 5.

The main issue of discussion was the proposed lot design submitted by the applicant Wth a "jogged" side lot line. The Planning Commission accepted the design as presented based upon the topography of the site and existing wetlands. Th'e issue of extending 87th Street along the north lot line was also raised.

Page I of 2 Otsego City Hall ITEMA�2.9.6 From: <Jed -Chades@co. hen nepin.mn. us> To: <CITYHALL@CI.OTSEGO.MN.US> Sent: Monday, April 15, 2002 12:02 PM Subject: Issues in Otsego Monday April 15, 2002 113 3 City of Otsego Council/Administrator, Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jared Charles and I live at 7864 Parkington Ave. My family moved in last September from Maple Grove. We enjoy the city and our home. However, there are (3) key issues that need to be addressed by the city. The first is the speed of many drivers. Otsego is no longer a, "Rural Farm Community." It's now a booming residential, family orientated city. However, people continue to drive as if there are no children around! This past weekend several neighbors gathered. I have been appointed by 11 homeowners on Park, Parkington, Perell and Parish Avenues to discuss a few items. Were all concerned about the possibility of children getting injured or even killed by cars. Were simply requesting three things by done. Please post CHILDREN AT PLAY signs on each street. Second, please contact the sheriffs department and have a portable, digital radar speed sign placed on 78TH AVENUES for a week. It should be moved around the City there after. Finally, we simply ask for more sheriffs visibility in Otsego. We understand the Sheriffs department is stretched. However, we all have concluded that they're not as viable as they could be. This is a serious concern. We put you on notice and believe these 3 requests are not out of line. There isn't a person in this community who wants a child to be injured. Please address this immediately. If needed, I would be willing to create a petition. We hopre this isn't necessary. As a community we have (2) other concerns. We DO NOT want parking on city streets overnight. Several residents have expressed concern over suspicious cars, inappropriate teen activity and the general nuisance a car parked overnight creates. Many cities have similar laws and all believe this is appropriate. Last of all, the City of Otsego needs to confront new home owner's about the required ordinance of front yard sod and 2 boulevard trees. This is not being enforced. Some homes are growing knee high weeds and trees are not planted. This decreases property value and general pride among city homeowners. We can provide addresses of these homes. However, we believe the City is responsible for supervising it's own ordinances. Please be advised that these issues are of great concern for the majority of Otsego homeowners. The word is passed at school functions, churches and residential encounters. We moved here to raise our children in a safe and friendly environment. The above requests will establish our faith in the 4/15/02 City of Otsego. Thank you for you valuable time. I'm willing to discuss these topics in more detail. We would like an update when available. Can you provide information on city hall meetings, council members and/or vacant council seats? As a proud Otsego resident, I'm willing to contribute to this city in any respect. Respectfully, Jared Charles 7864 Parkington Ave NE Otsego, NINT 55330 (612) 348-6580 daytime phone number.
