ENGINEER=S REPORT Permit Request: Hudson Road Reconstruction, Woodbury, Permit # 2004-05 Engineer Hanson described a project located at Hudson Road (south I-94 frontage road) from Woodbury Drive (CSAH 19) to about 2720 feet to the east, Woodbury, in the NW 1/4 of Section 2, Township 28 North, Range 21 West. The purpose of the project is to reconstruct Hudson Road from a two-lane road to a four-lane road with turn lanes and center island, and construct a 10-foot wide bituminous trail on the south side of the road.

Last fall, the VBWD permitted the reconstruction of the Prime Outlet Mall and the proposed WalMart. With that permit application, the developer=s engineer included some of the proposed runoff from a three-lane Hudson Road Reconstruction. However, the City of Woodbury is now proposing four lanes. In addition, the VBWD permit for the outlet mall/WalMart included a condition that a separate permit would be required for the Hudson Road Reconstruction.

After discussion of the water management concerns, the erosion control concerns, the suggested site specific conditions, and the standard conditions, motion was made by Scheel and seconded by Borash to approve Permit # 2004-05. Motion carried unanimously.

Permit Request: Settler=s Ridge Parkway/Cottage Grove Drive & Brookview Road Street & Utility Improvements, Woodbury Engineer Hanson recommended that the permit should not be discussed by the managers at this meeting, because the permit application is incomplete.

Sunnybrook Lake Engineer Hanson had mailed to the managers, a map of the area that drains to the Stillwater Division project. He said it is something that could possibly be used in a meeting with the City of Stillwater. The managers discussed the map and suggested some changes.

Montgomery Wetland Engineer Hanson said that a MnDNR Conservation Officer reported to him that stock piles have been placed around the perimeter of a wetland in West Lakeland Township. The stockpiles appear to be made of material excavated from the wetland. After discussion, the managers directed Engineer Hanson to contact the landowner about the illegal activity.

Citizen-Assisted Monitoring Program Update Engineer Hanson said that Barbara Walsh, who is on the Citizens Advisory Committee, has requested that the wetland north of 50^th Street be monitored for water quality this coming year. He said that the City of Lake Elmo is reconstructing roads in the area and potential plans are to discharge storm sewer into the wetland and create an outlet from that wetland into Lake Olson.

Engineer Hanson said he can contact one of the volunteers about doing it, and it would cost about $500 for the Metropolitan Council to do the additional lab work. After discussion, motion was made by Fetcher and seconded by Scheel to include the 50^th Street wetland in the Citizen Assisted Monitoring Program this coming summer. Motion carried unanimously.
