The budgeted replacement project of data center equipment at both locations will:
- Address pressures on current data storage capacity
- Eliminate escalating annual maintenance costs on current equipment
- Add additional site redundancy for business continuity
- Standardize equipment increasing supportability
- Leverage new technology to increase efficiency
- Increase processing performance for current applications
The next projected equipment refresh date will be Q4 of 2022 as the warranty and
maintenance will expire at that time. This date will also maintain a consistent 5 year
replacement cycle.
Budget Impact:
The dollar amount requested for replacement has been budgeted since the Q1 2012 purchase
of our current storage devices and server purchases previous to 2012. This project will be
Page 4 of 320
paid from existing funds within the IT Internal Service Fund and the total is under previously
budgeted dollar amounts.
Purchase of new equipment will eliminate an average of $35,000 per year, over the next 5
years, in escalating maintenance costs. Additional storage purchases would also
be required year-to-year to meet growing capacity if not replaced. All
new equipment includes a full 5-year maintenance warranty within this dollar request and is
sized for 5 year data projections.
Purchasing through LOGIS allows us to leverage previously negotiated best prices through
the US Communities National Cooperative Purchasing Program.

Shakopee Gravel, Inc. last received approval of an amendment to the CUP and Mineral
Extraction and Land Rehabilitation Permit Renewal on February 5, 2013 (Resolution No.
Page 11 of 320
7272, upholding the BOAA determination).
The conditions contained in the adopted resolution are listed below with planning staffs
review/comments following in italics. The Council should review the information submitted
by the applicant, information provided by staff and outside reviewing agencies, as well as
comments, information, and testimony provided by the public in conducting the review of
this permit.
The conditions of the adopted resolution are listed below, with staffs comments in italics:
1. The Shakopee Board of Adjustments and Appeals shall annually review the Permit to
ensure that the Applicant is in full compliance with all provisions of the Permit.
This condition is presently being met. The applicant submitted an application which
complies with the condition requirement. The applicant included a narrative and plans
which provided an update on the amount of product removed from the site during the past
year, and an updated site plan that identifies the current mining and reclamation areas.
2. The annual review of the Permit by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals shall be
provided to the Shakopee City Council as an informational item.
This condition will be met staff intends to submit the review to the City Council once the
BOAA has made their determination on the review.

mining and equipment area, and along any adjacent residential development.
Security fencing has been in place for several years around the perimeter of this site.
4. Design/maintenance treatment of the berm adjacent to the residential properties along the
Applicants west property line shall be consistent with the following conditions:
a. Maintenance of a 1:1 slope for the berm adjacent to the homes in Wyndam Ponds. Any
areas of erosion shall be remedied and stabilized with the approved seed mix.
b. Removal of the weeds using the steps outlined by the Scott County Weed Inspector.
c. Stabilization of the slopes, establishment of plant/turf cover, and mowing at least once a
year or as needed more than that to maintain a suitable appearance.
d. Landscaping shall be maintained in accordance with the landscape plan on file in the

Saturday, except upon approval by the Shakopee City Council of extended hours on a
temporary basis.
Page 12 of 320
The applicant has represented that they are in compliance with this condition, and staff has
received no evidence to the contrary.
6. Dust must be controlled by paving main access roads, watering haul roads and equipment
and by any other means which will control adverse effects of dust on neighboring properties.
The applicant is aware of the need to monitor the dust levels generated from their haul
roads, mining activity, and equipment, and periodically utilize their watering truck for
addressing this issue.
7. Two diesel tanks and two propane tanks for the storage of fuel shall be permitted on-site,
and must be installed and maintained in accordance with State Fire Marshall Rules (Chapter
7510.3100 -7510.3280). Other fuel tanks on-site must receive permit approval from the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) or other required agency. There shall be no
use or storage of explosives except as approved in advance as a part of this Permit.
There exist two (2) diesel fuel tanks which are fastened to trailers. The trailers house the
generators that run the mining equipment. These tanks are approximately 4 feet high, 6-8
feet wide and 6-8 feet deep. There do not appear to be any additional tanks since staff
conducted a site visit in May, 2002.
In the past, the Fire Department has commented that the property owner should: 1) provide
the Fire Department with a list of tanks and tank sizes, for those tanks listed in this
condition; and 2) work with the Fire Department to develop a Pre-Fire Incident Plan for
the operations.
8. No direct exterior lighting shall be visible from adjacent properties or the public right-of-
way. Two 125-watt high-pressure sodium security lights can be installed on the site and they
must be located on the site as shown on the submitted plan.

mining operation and one that is located outside the scale building, which is not visible off
site.
9. The Gravel Extraction Phasing Plan and the End Use Plan, as submitted by Applicant
(November, 2012), shall be adhered to. Modifications will be submitted for approval to the
Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
The applicant has submitted the 2016 Annual Earthwork Plan, which identifies the areas
that changed within the previous year. Their mining and reclamation activities are
generally consistent with the phasing of the project, with a significant increase in imported
material occurring within the past year. The applicants Engineer has been in contact with
staff to discuss an end use plan, with a conceptual plan included with this report. This end
use plan will be discussed in conjunction with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Update
currently being considered by the City.

typically responded in an appropriate manner. The applicant has also shared that some of
this material may have come from the adjacent property, and the applicant has shared this
issue with that property owner.
Planning staff did receive comments from City Engineering. Those comments are attached to
this report. City Engineering comments have either been referenced above in the responses
listed after the conditions of approval, or are notes for future considerations; specifically

Introduction
Prairie Meadow, LLC has made application for a Rezoning from Agricultural Preservation
(AG) Zone to Urban Residential (R-1B) Zone. The subject property is generally located
Page 33 of 320
north of Wood Duck Trail, west of Marschall Road and south of Meadow Lane in the
Agricultural Preservation (AG) Zone.
The property currently is used as a single-family residence. This parcel, along with several
others located south of Valley Creek Crossing 2nd Addition and north of Timber Trails, was
included in a recent extension of Jennifer Lane that now connects these two (2) subdivisions,
along with extended services along this new corridor. Attached to this report is a preliminary
concept plan for this subdivision, a conceptual stormwater/drainage plan, and an aerial which
identifies the recently approved residential subdivision just to the north (Prairie Meadows).
The applicant has submitted a rezoning request for a single-family residential development,
similar to the existing Prairie Meadows, and should this request be approved, will proceed
with the submittal of a Plat application roughly based on the concept plan for this particular
parcel. There remains one property adjacent to this request where the current property
owners have no interest in pursuing additional development at this time. If in the future they
would like to develop their
property, staff will work with the developer(s) on a layout that will generally be consistent
with the layout shown on the conceptual stormwater/drainage plan.
Planning staff did receive comments from SPUC, whom noted that the applicant shall
contact them to discuss requirements to receive water and electric service for development of
this property. Also attached to this report is a letter from the developer, which notes
comments that were raised at their neighborhood meeting.
The developers concept plan identifies parcels that appear to comply with the required
design standards for this zone. Detailed review of the project will occur at time of Platting,
should this request be approved.
Findings - Rezoning
The criteria required for the granting of a Zoning Ordinance Amendment are listed below for
the Councils consideration.
Criteria #2 That significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place;
Finding #2 Significant changes in community goals and policies have taken place. The
demand for single family development in this area of the city has increased. Combined with
the fact that street and utility improvements have occurred in this area, development
consistent with what is proposed is appropriate.

Criteria #3 That significant changes in City-wide or neighborhood development patterns have
occurred; or
Finding #3 Significant changes in development patterns have occurred. What once was a
rural residential area is now an area that is viewed as an attractive residential development
area because of the location and the availability of services and street improvements. There

Recommendation:
Adoption of Ordinance 972 and Resolution 7933.
Discussion:
As part of the Clean Water Act, the city is required to permit through the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System through the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) program, which
requires us to prepare, manage, and maintain a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program. A
requirement of our current permit that was approved in 2014 by the MPCA was to update
the city's ordinances to meet certain minimum conditions pertaining to post-
construction storm water management (e.g. surface water resources
management ordinances).This update was required to be completed by 2015.
On March 9, 2017, the MPCA performed an MS4 audit on the City of Shakopee. From this
audit, the MPCA identified a violation for the failure to include certain surface water and
erosion control measures to ensure proper implementation and enforcement
conditions within the city's regulatory mechanism.
The city's regulatory mechanism includes City Code Chapter 54 Water Resources
Page 42 of 320
Management and the city's Design Criteria, which includes the technical provisions and
design standards. In accordance with the MPCA requirements, City Code Chapter 54 and
the Design Criteria have been revised to meet the requirements of the MS4 general permit.
Budget Impact:
No budget impacts.

54.03 SCOPE.
(A) Applicability.
(1) Every applicant for subdivision approval, a conditional use permit, or a grading permit to
allow land disturbing activities must submit a stormwater management plan to the
Engineering Division of the citys Public Works Department. The stormwater management
plan shall be submitted with the land use application, grading permit application, or as
directed by the Public Works Director. No subdivision approval or grading permit will be
issued until approval of the stormwater management plan or a waiver has been obtained in
conformance with the provisions of this chapter.
(2) Every applicant for subdivision approval or a grading permit that involves wetland
disturbing activities or work near wetlands must submit a wetland assessment and
delineation report to the Engineering Division. The wetland assessment and delineation
report shall be submitted with the land use application, grading permit application, or as
directed by the Public Works Director. No subdivision approval or grading permit will be
issued until approval of the wetland replacement plan application or a certificate of

development activity, all stormwater management facilities necessary to meet
discharge rate the criteria outlined in of the citys cComprehensive wWater rResources
11
Page 58 of 320
mManagement pPlan, Design Criteria, and the NPDES Construction General Permit.
No private stormwater facilities will be approved by the city unless a maintenance plan
isand maintenance agreement are provided that defines who will conduct the
maintenance, the type of maintenance, and intervals of the maintenance. In the
alternative, or in partial fulfillment of this requirement and upon approval of the Public
Works Director, an applicant may make an in-kind or monetary contribution to the
development and maintenance of regional stormwater management facilities designed
to serve multiple land disturbing and development activities undertaken by 1 or more
persons, including the applicant.
(b) Proposed Stormwater Management Plans shall incorporate volume control, water
quality control, and rate control as the basis for stormwater management in the
proposed development plan on sites without restrictions. All proposed Development
and Redevelopment projects shall be in conformance with the City of Shakopees
Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan, Design Criteria, and the most
current requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit, as applicable, meeting the more
restrictive criteria.
(bc) The applicant shall reduce the need for stormwater management facilities by
incorporating the use of natural topography and land cover such as wetlands, ponds,
natural swales, and depressions as they exist before development to the degree that
they can accommodate the additional flow of water without compromising the
integrity or quality of the wetland or pond.
(cd) The following stormwater management practices shall be investigated by the applicant
in developing a stormwater management plan in the following descending order of
preference, and the results of that investigation shall be provided to the city in written
form as a part of the application:
(ef) 1. A vegetative buffer shall be required for proposed open channel watercourses that
drain 50 acres or more. All provisions in this chapter relating to wetland buffers shall
also apply to watercourse buffers.
12
Page 59 of 320
a1. Watercourses shall have a wetland management class of low as outlined in this
chapter to determine the required area and minimum width of the watercourse
buffer.
b2. The required area of the buffer shall be calculated using the average buffer width
as measured from the ordinary high water level (OHWL). If the OHWL has not
been established, the normal water level may be used. If the normal water level
is used, the applicant shall provide documentation prepared by an engineer
defining the normal water level of the watercourse.
c3. Buffers for watercourses are not required for those watercourses that require
mowing to maintain their designed hydraulic capacity, as determined by the
Public Works Director.
d4. Alterations to facilitate erosion control improvements to stabilize the
watercourse, including the use of hard-armoring such as riprap is allowed in
watercourse buffers with an approved grading permit for the activities. Equivalent
water quality treatment shall be provided for buffer areas impacted by these
activities.
(95) Pond design standards. Stormwater detention facilities constructed in the city shall be
designed according to standards established by the Engineering Division, and shall
contain, at a minimum, the following design factorsas prescribed in the citys Design
Criteria.:
(a) A permanent pool (dead storage) volume below the principal spillway (normal outlet)
which shall be greater than or equal to the runoff from a 2-1/2 inch rainfall over the
entire contributing drainage area assuming full development;
(d) Basin side slopes below the 100-year high water level should be no steeper than 4:1,
and preferable flatter. A basin shelf with a minimum width of 10 feet and 1 foot deep
below the normal water level is recommended to enhance wildlife habitat, reduce
potential safety hazards, and improve access for long-term maintenance;
(e) To prevent short-circuiting, the distance between major inlets and the normal outlet
shall be maximized;
(f) A flood pool (live storage) volume above the principal spillway shall be adequate so
that the peak discharge rates meet the requirements of the citys comprehensive water
resources management plan;
(g) Pond outlets may not be smaller than the minimum size indicated in the citys
comprehensive water resources management plan;
13
Page 60 of 320
(h) Consideration for aesthetics and wildlife habitat should be included in the design of the
pond;
(i) A skimming device must be provided to deter floatable pollutants from discharging out
of pond;
(j) Design of stormwater facilities shall accommodate the 100-year critical event (100-
year, 24-hour storm event or 10-day snowmelt event). This includes lakes, ponds, and
their outlets; and
(k) Pond normal water level elevations shall be established above the ordinary high water
level of adjacent public waters, except where topography of the site, floodplain
mitigation activities, or other design considerations are determined to be unfavorable
for these conditions to occur. This determination shall be performed by the applicants
engineer and approved by the Public Works Director.
(106) Infiltration requirements. Best management practices to manage for volume control and
infiltration will be required to the maximum extent practical in accordance with the citys
Design Criteria. MAXIMUM EXTENT PRACTICAL shall be defined as the infiltration
of runoff from a 100-year, 24-hour rainfall event within 72 hours.
(a) The maximum extent practical required may be less if the Public Works Director
determines that 1 or more of the following conditions apply. If 1 or more of the
following conditions apply, the Public Works Director shall quantify the amount of
infiltration that will be deemed as the maximum extent practical for the site:
1. The infiltration characteristics of soils on the site are not favorable for the
infiltration of stormwater;
2. The sites drainage course is to regional infiltration or detention facilities controlled
by the City city that reduce runoff volumes;
3. The development of the site does not increase the sites impervious areas; or
4. Other site conditions that make the infiltration of stormwater impractical as
determined by the Public Works Director.
(b) Infiltration will be discouraged or not permitted in the following situations:
1. When documented past, present, or anticipated future-land uses have resulted in or
may result in contamination coming in contact with stormwater runoff;
2. When the areas for infiltration available on the site have less than a 3-foot
separation from groundwater elevations;
3. Stormwater runoff shall be treated in a stormwater pond or by other means prior to
entering an infiltration facility; or
4. The minimum infiltration requirements for any region of the city will be the
requirements of the watershed district or watershed management organization
policies that govern that region. These policies may be met through the use of
regional or downstream systems prior to discharge of runoff to waters of the state.
(11) Inspection and maintenance. All stormwater management facilities shall be designed to
minimize the need for maintenance, to provide access for maintenance purposes, and to be structurally
sound. All stormwater management facilities shall have a plan of operation and maintenance that
14
Page 61 of 320
assures continued effective removal of pollutants carried in stormwater runoff. It shall be the
responsibility of the applicant to provide or obtain any necessary easements or other property interests
in order to allow the city access to the stormwater management facilities for inspection and
maintenance purposes.
(7) Mitigation.
(a) Where construction projects cannot meet the volume, TSS, or TP reduction requirements
for new development or redevelopment projects on the site of original construction, all
methods must be exhausted prior to considering alternative locations where volume and
treatment standards can be achieved. If the city has determined that all methods have
been exhausted, the permittee will be required to identify alternative locations where the
standards can be achieved or alternative methods in accordance with the citys Design
Criteria.
(128) Facilities. Stormwater and infiltration facilities must be located at least 50 feet away from
the top of a bluff.
(104) Easement. If the stormwater management plan involves direction of some or all runoff
off of the site, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to obtain from adjacent
property owners any necessary easements or other property interests to permit the flow
of water across the property.
(a) Any new development or redevelopment shall maintain a minimum building opening
elevation of at least 3 feet above the anticipated 100-year high water elevation as a
standard practice; however, if the applicant demonstrates that this requirement would
be a hardship, the standard may be reduced to 2 feet if all of the following can be
demonstrated:
1. Within the 2 foot freeboard area, stormwater storage is available which is equal to
or exceeds 50% of the stormwater storage currently available in the basin below the
100-year elevation;
2. A 25% obstruction of the basin outlet over a 24-hour period would not result in
more than 1 foot of additional bounce in the basin; and
3. An adequate overflow route from the basin is available that will provide 1 foot of
freeboard for the proposed low building opening.
(b) Basement floor elevations must be set to an elevation that meets all of the following
criteria:
1. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 4 feet above the currently observed
groundwater elevations in the area;
15
Page 62 of 320
2. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 2 feet above the elevation of any known
historic high groundwater elevations for the area. Information on historic high
groundwater elevations can be derived from any reasonable sources including
piezometer data, soil boring data, percolation testing logs, and the like; and
3. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 2 feet above the 100-year high surface
water elevation for the area unless it can be demonstrated that this standard creates
a hardship, if the 2- foot standard is determined by the City Council to constitute a
hardship, the standard shall be at least 1 foot above the highest anticipated
groundwater elevation resulting from a 100-year critical duration rainfall event.
The impact of high surface water elevations on groundwater elevations in the
vicinity of the structure should take into consideration the sites distance from the
floodplain area, the soils, the normal water elevation of surface depressions in the
area, the static groundwater table, and historic water elevations in the area. This
information shall be provided by a registered engineer or soil scientist.
(126) Impervious surface coverage. The impervious surface coverage of each lot must not
exceed the impervious surface coverage allowed under Ch. 151.
(1) No person shall intentionally dispose of leaves, grass clippings, dirt, gravel, or other
landscape debris, or anything other than stormwater into a street, road, alley, catch basin,
culvert, curb, gutter, inlet, ditch, natural watercourse, flood control channel, canal, or storm
drain. The following discharges are exempt from discharge prohibitions established by this
section:
(a) Water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising ground waters,
uncontaminated ground water infiltration, uncontaminated pumped ground water,
discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning
condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains,
lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and
wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water;
(b) Discharges or flow from firefighting, and other discharges authorized by the city in
writing that are necessary to protect public health and safety;
(c) Discharges associated with dye testing, however this activity requires verbal
notification to the city prior to the time of the test.
(d) The prohibition shall not apply to any non-stormwater discharge permitted under an
NPDES permit, waiver, or waste discharge order issued to the discharger and
administered under the authority of the federal Environmental Protection Agency,
16
Page 63 of 320
provided that the discharger is in full compliance with all requirements of the permit,
waiver, or order and other applicable laws and regulations, and further provided that
written approval has been granted for any discharges to the storm drain system.
(2) No person shall cause any illicit discharge to enter the city stormwater system. For the
purpose of this chapter, ILLICIT DISCHARGE is as defined in the citys stormwater
pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) completed for the citys municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) permit.
(3) No person shall use any illicit connection to intentionally convey non-stormwater to the
city stormwater system.
(a) This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, illicit connections made in the
past, regardless of whether the connection was permissible under the law or practices
applicable or prevailing at the time of the connection.
(b) A person is considered to be in violation of this Chapter if the person connects a line
conveying sewage into the storm drain system, or allows such connection to continue.
(4) No person shall leave, deposit, discharge, dump, or otherwise expose any chemical or
septic waste in an area where discharge to streets, or a storm drain system may occur.
(1) All private stormwater facilities shall be maintained by the property owner in a condition
consistent with the performance standards under which they were originally designed. All
settled materials from ponds, sumps, grit chambers, and other devices, including settled
solids, shall be removed by the property owner and properly disposed of at least once every
five years.
(2) One- to five-year waivers from this requirement may be granted by the Public Works
Director when the property owner presents evidence that the facility has additional capacity
to remove settled solids in accordance with the original design capacity.
(2013 Code, 16.11) (Ord. 807, passed 9-25-2008) Penalty, see 54.99
(1) Suspension due to Illicit Discharges in Emergency Situations. The city may, without prior
notice, suspend MS4 discharge access to a person when such suspension is necessary to stop
an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent and substantial
danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the MS4 or Waters of
the United States. If the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an
emergency, the city may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage
to the MS4 or Waters of the United States, or to minimize danger to persons.
(2) Suspension Due to the Detection of Illicit Discharges. Any person discharging to the MS4 in
violation of this Chapter may have their MS4 access terminated if such termination would
abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The city will notify a violator of the proposed termination
of its MS4 access. The violator may petition the city for a reconsideration and hearing. A
17
Page 64 of 320
person commits an offense if the person reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated
pursuant to this Section, without the prior approval of the city.
(1) Applicability. This section applies to all facilities that have storm water discharges associated
with industrial activity, including construction activity.
(a) The City of Shakopee or its designee shall be permitted to enter and inspect facilities
subject to regulation under this Chapter as often as may be necessary to determine
compliance with this Chapter. If a discharger has security measures in force which
require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger
shall make the necessary arrangements to allow access to representatives of the city.
(b) Facility operators shall allow the city or its designee ready access to all parts of the
premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records
that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES permit to discharge storm water,
and the performance of any additional duties as defined by state and federal law.
(c) The city or its designee shall have the right to set up on any permitted facility such devices
as are necessary in the opinion of the city to conduct monitoring and sampling of the
facility's storm water discharge.
(d) The city or its designee has the right to require the discharger to install monitoring
equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be
maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the discharger at its
own expense. All devices used to measure stormwater flow and quality shall be calibrated
to ensure their accuracy.
(e) Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be
inspected and sampled shall be promptly removed by the operator at the written or oral
request of the city and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be
borne by the operator.
(f) Unreasonable delays in allowing the city or its designee access to a permitted facility is
a violation of a storm water discharge permit and of this Chapter. A person who is the
operator of a facility with a NPDES permit to discharge storm water associated with
industrial activity commits an offense if the person denies the city reasonable access to
the permitted facility for the purpose of conducting any activity authorized or required
by this Chapter.
(g) If the city or its designee have been refused access to any part of the premises from
which stormwater is discharged, and he/she is able to demonstrate probable cause to
believe that there may be a violation of this Chapter, or that there is a need to inspect or
sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program designed to verify
18
Page 65 of 320
compliance with this Chapter or any order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall
public health, safety, and welfare of the community, then the city may seek issuance of
a search warrant from any court of competent jurisdiction.
(D) Watercourse protection. Every person owning or occupying premises through which a
watercourse passes, shall keep and maintain that part of the watercourse within the
premises free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute,
contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through the watercourse. In addition,
the owner or occupant shall maintain existing privately owned structures within or adjacent
to a watercourse so that such structures will not become a hazard to the use, function, or
physical integrity of the watercourse.
(E) Notification of spills. Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person
responsible for a facility or operation or responsible for emergency response for a facility
or operation has information of any known or suspected release of materials which are
resulting or may result in illegal discharges or pollutants discharging into stormwater, the
storm drain system, or waters of the state, said person shall take all necessary steps to
ensure the discovery, containment, and cleanup of such release. In the event of such a
release of hazardous materials, said person must immediately notify emergency response
agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch services. In the event of a release of
nonhazardous materials, said person shall notify the city no later than the next business
day. Notifications in person or by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed
and mailed to the city within three business days of the personal or phone notice. If the
discharge of prohibited materials originates from an industrial establishment, the owner or
operator of such establishment shall also retain an on-site written record of the discharge
and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such records must be retained for at least
three years.
(F) Enforcement.
(1) Notice of Violation. Whenever the city finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed
to meet a requirement of this Chapter, the city may order compliance by written notice of
violation to the responsible person. Such notice may require without limitation:
(2) Appeal of Notice of Violation. Any person receiving a Notice of Violation may appeal the
determination to the City Council. The notice of appeal must be received within 15 days after
the date of the Notice of Violation. Hearing on the appeal shall take place within 30 days
19
Page 66 of 320
after the date of receipt of the notice of appeal. The decision of the City Council shall be
final.
(3) Enforcement Measures After Appeal. If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the
requirements set forth in the Notice of Violation, or, in the event of an appeal, within 15 days
after the decision of the City Council, the city may enter upon the subject property and take
any and all measures necessary to abate the violation and restore the property. It shall be
unlawful for any person, owner, agent or person in possession of any premises to refuse to
allow the city or its designated contractor to enter upon the property for the purposes set forth
above.
(4) Cost of Abatement of the Violation. Within 30 days after abatement of the violation, the
owner of the property will be notified of the cost of abatement, including administrative
costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the
assessment within 15 days. If the amount due is not paid within a timely manner as
determined by the decision of the City Council or by the expiration of the time in which to
file an appeal, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall
constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.
(5) Injunctive Relief. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this
Chapter, the city may petition the district court for a preliminary or permanent
injunction restraining the person from activities that would create further violations or
compelling the person to perform abatement or remediation of the violation.
(7) Violations Deemed a Public Nuisance. In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties
provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of
this Chapter is a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a
nuisance, and may be summarily abated or restored at the violator's expense, and a civil
action to abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken.
(1)(8) Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies listed in this Section are not exclusive of
any other remedies available under any applicable federal, state or local law and it is within
the discretion of the city to seek cumulative remedies.

21
Page 68 of 320
drawing that also shows the location of existing and proposed property lines, buildings,
and other topographic features of the site. For each wetland delineated in the report, a
wetland management class as defined by the State Routine Assessment Method (MNRAM)
for evaluating wetland functions - Version 3.1 or later version - must be assigned.
(2013 Code, 16.11) (Ord. 807, passed 9-25-2008)
For any parcel created or redeveloped, a wetland buffer as defined in this subchapter Chapter is
required.
(A) Required wetland buffer dimensions.
(1) Wetland buffer dimensions will be based on the wetlands management class as defined by
MNRAM.
(2) The required area of the wetland buffer shall be calculated using the average buffer width
as measured from the delineated wetland edge.
(B) Required wetland buffer vegetation. Vegetation within a wetland buffer shall be
established and maintained as follows.:
(1) The first 25 feet of the wetland buffer as measured from the wetland delineation or public
waters wetland ordinary high water level (OHWL) must not be disturbed during project
construction (i.e. cleared or graded), with the exception of temporary disturbances for
public roads and utility construction. This area must be protected from disturbance with
temporary fencing prior to construction. If it is necessary to establish acceptable vegetation
within the area so that it is in compliance with the vegetation requirements of this
subchapterChapter, vegetation may be removed and replaced, and site soils preparation
work may be performed within this area.
(2) Where acceptable natural vegetation exists within the wetland buffer, the retention of such
vegetation in an undisturbed state is required unless the applicant receives approval from
the Public Works Director to replace such vegetation. A wetland buffer is considered to
have acceptable natural vegetation if it has a continuous, dense layer of perennial grasses,
or an overstory of trees or shrubs that have been uncultivated or unbroken for at least five
consecutive years. The city may determine existing vegetation to be unacceptable if the
wetland buffer has undesirable characteristics such as noxious or invasive plant species or
topography that channelizes the flow of runoff.
(3) (a) In cases where the wetland buffer does not contain vegetation or has been cultivated
or otherwise disturbed within five years of the application, the wetland buffer area must be
22
Page 69 of 320
replanted with native seed mix approved by the Public Works Director and maintained
until it is established.
(b) The proposed types of wetland buffer plantings, proposed maintenance, and
monitoring activities and schedule must be identified on the application. Any vegetation
planted within the wetland buffer are independent of any landscaping that may be required
elsewhere on the property by the city.
(c) During the first 2 full growing seasons, the owner must replant any wetland buffer
vegetation that does not survive. After this time, the owner shall remain responsible for re-
seeding or replanting vegetation within the wetland buffer if it changes at any time due to
human intervention or activities.
(C) Wetland buffer easements and markers. When a wetland buffer is required pursuant to
this subchapterChapter, the applicant shall prior to issuance of any building permits by the
city:
(1) Submit to the city for its approval a conservation easement in favor of the city for protection
of the wetland buffers and wetlands on the property, or include the wetland buffer and
wetlands in an outlot dedicated to the city as part of the plat. The conservation easement
shall legally describe the boundaries of the wetland or public waters wetland and the
wetland buffer and identify the marker locations;
(2) Record the conservation easement or final plat with the county and submit evidence thereof
to the city;
(3) Wetland buffers shall be marked to clearly designate their boundaries. At least 1 marker
shall be required on each lot. There shall be at least 1 marker every 200 feet along the edge
of the wetland buffer; and
(4) A marker shall consist of a post and a sign indicating the presence of a wetland buffer. The
applicant will be required to furnish and install 4 by 4 inch sign posts to a height of 5 feet
above finished grade. The city will furnish and install the signs. If the applicant does not
install the posts, the city will furnish and install them. Fees incurred by the city for post
furnishing and installation will be paid by the applicant.
(2) The following activities shall be permitted in the wetland buffer and shall not constitute
prohibited alterations:
(a) Removal of noxious vegetation such as, but not limited to, European buckthorn, purple
loosestrife, and reed canary grass;
(b) Installation of new plantings that enhance the natural vegetation;
23
Page 70 of 320

recreational access to a watercourse, where permitted. The strip shall be no greater than
20 feet in width;
(e) Construction, maintenance, repair, reconstruction, or replacement of existing and
future public roads, utilities, or drainage systems within a wetland buffer, so long as
any adverse impacts of the construction and installation on the function of the wetland
buffer have been avoided or minimized to the extent practical and the activity has been
approved by the city;
(f) Construction of individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS) so long as the vegetation
growing on the system is maintained in accordance with this subchapter Chapter, the
area for the ISTS is not credited as wetland buffer area, and the edge of the ISTS is
located at least 35 feet from the delineated wetland edge;
(g) Clearing, grading, and seeding if part of a wetland replacement plan approved by the
city;
(h) Maintenance, repair, or replacement of trails; and
(i) Placement or maintenance of ponds or other stormwater treatment facilities, so long as
the area of the pond is not credited as wetland buffer area and the embankment of the
pond is located at least 35 feet from the delineated wetland edge.
(E) Exceptions.
(1) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not requited for any residentially zoned lot of
record as of the effective date of this chapter.
(2) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not required for any wetland that qualifies for
a de minimus exemption under the Wetland Conservation Act.
(3) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not required for any wetland qualifying for an
incidental wetland exemption under the Wetland Conservation Act.
(2013 Code, 16.11)
(A) Parcels that are newly created or redeveloped after the effective date of this chapter are
required to have a structure setback from the wetland buffer for all new structures.

GENERAL PROVISIONS
54.01 TITLE.
This chapter shall be known and may be referred to as the Water Resource Ordinance or the
Water Resource Chapter. When referred to herein it shall be known as this Chapter.
(2013 Code, 16.01) (Ord. 807, passed 9-25-2008)
54.02 PURPOSE.
(A) This Chapter is established to promote, preserve and enhance natural resources within the
city and protect them from adverse effects occasioned by poorly-sited development or
incompatible activities by regulating land disturbing or development activities that would
have an adverse and potentially irreversible impact on water quality and unique or fragile
environmentally sensitive land.
(B) This Chapter minimizes conflicts and encourages compatibility between land disturbing
and development activities and environmentally sensitive lands. By requiring detailed
review standards and procedures for land disturbing or development activities proposed for
such areas, this chapter achieves a balance between urban growth and development and the
protection of water and natural resources within the city. (2013 Code, 16.01) (Ord. 807,
passed 9-25-2008)

(B) Stormwater management plan review procedure.
(1) Process. Stormwater management plans and maintenance agreements meeting the
requirements of this chapter shall be submitted to the Engineering Division of the citys
Public Works Department for the Public Works Directors review and approval. The Public
Works Director shall recommend approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the
stormwater management plan and maintenance agreement to the Planning Commission.
Following Planning Commission review, the stormwater management plan and
maintenance agreement shall be submitted to the City Council for its review along with the
Planning Commissions recommendation.
(2) Duration. Approval of a stormwater management plan submitted under the provisions of
this chapter shall expire 2 years after the date of approval by the City Council unless
construction has commenced in accordance with the plan; however, if prior to the
expiration of the approval, the applicant makes a written request to the Public Works
Director for an extension of time to commence construction setting forth the reasons for
the requested extension, the City Council may grant 1 extension of not greater than 1 single
year.
(3) Revisions. A stormwater management plan or maintenance agreement may be revised. All
revised plans or agreements must contain all information required by this chapter and must
be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Director.
(4) Conditions. A stormwater management plan and maintenance agreement may be approved
by the City Council subject to compliance with conditions that are necessary to ensure that
the requirements contained in this chapter are met. Such conditions may, among other
matters, limit the size, kind, or character of the proposed development; require the
construction of structures, drainage facilities, storage basins, and other facilities; require
replacement of vegetation; establish required monitoring procedures; require that the work
be staged over time; require alteration of the sites design to ensure buffering; or require
the conveyance to the city or other public entity of certain lands or interests therein.
(5) Approval. Upon approval of the stormwater management plan or maintenance agreement
by the City Council, the applicant shall enter into an agreement with the city to ensure that
any required improvements are constructed, any required easements are granted or
dedicated, and that there is compliance with any conditions imposed by the City Council.
The agreement shall guarantee completion and compliance with the conditions within a
specific time, which time may be extended by the City Council. The agreement shall be in
a form acceptable to the city.
(6) Financial guarantee. Upon approval of the stormwater management plan by the City
Council, the applicant shall submit a letter of credit, or cash escrow, to cover 125% of the
amount of the established cost of complying with the stormwater management plan. This
10
Page 88 of 320
financial guarantee shall be in a form acceptable to the city and may be incorporated into
the financial guarantee provided for grading activities or the financial guarantee provided
for street and utility activities.
(1) Compliance with standards. No stormwater management plan which fails to meet the
standards contained in this Chapter shall be approved by the City Council.
(2) All stormwater management plans must be submitted to and approved by the Public Works
Director prior to the start of construction activity. At a minimum all applicants shall meet
the criteria set forth below and observe the standards established by the NPDES
Construction General Permit.
(3) All stormwater management plans must address erosion and sediment control and shall
meet the criteria of Chapter 54.45 through 54.54, inclusive.
(a) An applicant shall install or construct, on or for the proposed land disturbing or
development activity, all stormwater management facilities necessary to meet the
criteria of the citys Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan, Design
Criteria, and the NPDES Construction General Permit. No private stormwater facilities
will be approved by the city unless a maintenance plan and maintenance agreement are
provided that defines who will conduct the maintenance, the type of maintenance, and
intervals of the maintenance. In the alternative, or in partial fulfillment of this
requirement and upon approval of the Public Works Director, an applicant may make
an in-kind or monetary contribution to the development and maintenance of regional
stormwater management facilities designed to serve multiple land disturbing and
development activities undertaken by 1 or more persons, including the applicant.
(b) Proposed Stormwater Management Plans shall incorporate volume control, water
quality control, and rate control as the basis for stormwater management in the
proposed development plan on sites without restrictions. All proposed Development
and Redevelopment projects shall be in conformance with the City of Shakopees
Comprehensive Water Resources Management Plan, Design Criteria, and the most
current requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Permit, as applicable, meeting the more
restrictive criteria.
(c) The applicant shall reduce the need for stormwater management facilities by
incorporating the use of natural topography and land cover such as wetlands, ponds,
natural swales, and depressions as they exist before development to the degree that
they can accommodate the additional flow of water without compromising the
integrity or quality of the wetland or pond.
11
Page 89 of 320
(d) The following stormwater management practices shall be investigated by the applicant
in developing a stormwater management plan in the following descending order of
preference, and the results of that investigation shall be provided to the city in written
form as a part of the application:
(f) A vegetative buffer shall be required for proposed open channel watercourses that
drain 50 acres or more. All provisions in this chapter relating to wetland buffers shall
also apply to watercourse buffers.
(5) Pond design standards. Stormwater detention facilities constructed in the city shall be
designed according to standards established by the Engineering Division, and as
prescribed in the citys Design Criteria.
(6) Infiltration requirements. Best management practices to manage for volume control and
infiltration will be required to the maximum extent practical in accordance with the citys
Design Criteria.
12
Page 90 of 320
(a) The maximum extent practical required may be less if the Public Works Director
determines that 1 or more of the following conditions apply. If 1 or more of the
following conditions apply, the Public Works Director shall quantify the amount of
infiltration that will be deemed as the maximum extent practical for the site:
1. The infiltration characteristics of soils on the site are not favorable for the
infiltration of stormwater;
2. The sites drainage course is to regional infiltration or detention facilities controlled
by the city that reduce runoff volumes;
3. The development of the site does not increase the sites impervious areas; or
4. Other site conditions that make the infiltration of stormwater impractical as
determined by the Public Works Director.
(7) Mitigation.
(a) Where construction projects cannot meet the volume, TSS, or TP reduction requirements
for new development or redevelopment projects on the site of original construction, all
methods must be exhausted prior to considering alternative locations where volume and
treatment standards can be achieved. If the city has determined that all methods have
been exhausted, the permittee will be required to identify alternative locations where the
standards can be achieved or alternative methods in accordance with the citys Design
Criteria.
(8) Facilities. Stormwater and infiltration facilities must be located at least 50 feet away from
the top of a bluff.
(10) Easement. If the stormwater management plan involves direction of some or all runoff
off of the site, it shall be the responsibility of the applicant to obtain from adjacent
property owners any necessary easements or other property interests to permit the flow
of water across the property.
(a) Any new development or redevelopment shall maintain a minimum building opening
elevation of at least 3 feet above the anticipated 100-year high water elevation as a
standard practice; however, if the applicant demonstrates that this requirement would
be a hardship, the standard may be reduced to 2 feet if all of the following can be
demonstrated:
1. Within the 2 foot freeboard area, stormwater storage is available which is equal to
or exceeds 50% of the stormwater storage currently available in the basin below the
100-year elevation;
2. A 25% obstruction of the basin outlet over a 24-hour period would not result in
more than 1 foot of additional bounce in the basin; and
13
Page 91 of 320
3. An adequate overflow route from the basin is available that will provide 1 foot of
freeboard for the proposed low building opening.
(b) Basement floor elevations must be set to an elevation that meets all of the following
criteria:
1. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 4 feet above the currently observed
groundwater elevations in the area;
2. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 2 feet above the elevation of any known
historic high groundwater elevations for the area. Information on historic high
groundwater elevations can be derived from any reasonable sources including
piezometer data, soil boring data, percolation testing logs, and the like; and
3. The lowest floor elevation must be at least 2 feet above the 100-year high surface
water elevation for the area unless it can be demonstrated that this standard creates
a hardship, if the 2- foot standard is determined by the City Council to constitute a
hardship, the standard shall be at least 1 foot above the highest anticipated
groundwater elevation resulting from a 100-year critical duration rainfall event.
The impact of high surface water elevations on groundwater elevations in the
vicinity of the structure should take into consideration the sites distance from the
floodplain area, the soils, the normal water elevation of surface depressions in the
area, the static groundwater table, and historic water elevations in the area. This
information shall be provided by a registered engineer or soil scientist.
(12) Impervious surface coverage. The impervious surface coverage of each lot must not
exceed the impervious surface coverage allowed under Ch. 151.
(1) No person shall intentionally dispose of leaves, grass clippings, dirt, gravel, other
landscape debris, or anything other than stormwater into a street, road, alley, catch basin,
culvert, curb, gutter, inlet, ditch, natural watercourse, flood control channel, canal, or storm
drain. The following discharges are exempt from discharge prohibitions established by this
section:
(a) Water line flushing, landscape irrigation, diverted stream flows, rising ground waters,
uncontaminated ground water infiltration, uncontaminated pumped ground water,
discharges from potable water sources, foundation drains, air conditioning
condensation, irrigation water, springs, water from crawl space pumps, footing drains,
lawn watering, individual residential car washing, flows from riparian habitats and
wetlands, dechlorinated swimming pool discharges, and street wash water;
14
Page 92 of 320
(b) Discharges or flow from firefighting, and other discharges authorized by the city in
writing that are necessary to protect public health and safety;
(c) Discharges associated with dye testing, however this activity requires verbal
notification to the city prior to the time of the test.
(d) The prohibition shall not apply to any non-stormwater discharge permitted under an
NPDES permit, waiver, or waste discharge order issued to the discharger and
administered under the authority of the federal Environmental Protection Agency,
provided that the discharger is in full compliance with all requirements of the permit,
waiver, or order and other applicable laws and regulations, and further provided that
written approval has been granted for any discharges to the storm drain system.
(2) No person shall cause any illicit discharge to enter the city stormwater system. For the
purpose of this chapter, ILLICIT DISCHARGE is as defined in the citys stormwater
pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) completed for the citys municipal separate storm
sewer system (MS4) permit.
(3) No person shall use any illicit connection to intentionally convey non-stormwater to the
city stormwater system.
(a) This prohibition expressly includes, without limitation, illicit connections made in the
past, regardless of whether the connection was permissible under the law or practices
applicable or prevailing at the time of the connection.
(b) A person is considered to be in violation of this Chapter if the person connects a line
conveying sewage into the storm drain system, or allows such connection to continue.
(4) No person shall leave, deposit, discharge, dump, or otherwise expose any chemical or
septic waste in an area where discharge to streets, or a storm drain system may occur.
(1) Suspension due to Illicit Discharges in Emergency Situations. The city may, without prior
notice, suspend MS4 discharge access to a person when such suspension is necessary to stop
an actual or threatened discharge which presents or may present imminent and substantial
danger to the environment, or to the health or welfare of persons, or to the MS4 or Waters of
the United States. If the violator fails to comply with a suspension order issued in an
emergency, the city may take such steps as deemed necessary to prevent or minimize damage
to the MS4 or Waters of the United States, or to minimize danger to persons.
(2) Suspension Due to the Detection of Illicit Discharges. Any person discharging to the MS4 in
violation of this Chapter may have their MS4 access terminated if such termination would
abate or reduce an illicit discharge. The city will notify a violator of the proposed termination
of its MS4 access. The violator may petition the city for a reconsideration and hearing. A
person commits an offense if the person reinstates MS4 access to premises terminated
pursuant to this Section, without the prior approval of the city.
15
Page 93 of 320
(C) Monitoring of Discharges.
(1) Applicability. This section applies to all facilities that have storm water discharges associated
with industrial activity, including construction activity.
(a) The City of Shakopee or its designee shall be permitted to enter and inspect facilities
subject to regulation under this Chapter as often as may be necessary to determine
compliance with this Chapter. If a discharger has security measures in force which
require proper identification and clearance before entry into its premises, the discharger
shall make the necessary arrangements to allow access to representatives of the city.
(b) Facility operators shall allow the city or its designee ready access to all parts of the
premises for the purposes of inspection, sampling, examination and copying of records
that must be kept under the conditions of an NPDES permit to discharge storm water,
and the performance of any additional duties as defined by state and federal law.
(c) The city or its designee shall have the right to set up on any permitted facility such devices
as are necessary in the opinion of the city to conduct monitoring and sampling of the
facility's storm water discharge.
(d) The city or its designee has the right to require the discharger to install monitoring
equipment as necessary. The facility's sampling and monitoring equipment shall be
maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition by the discharger at its
own expense. All devices used to measure stormwater flow and quality shall be calibrated
to ensure their accuracy.
(e) Any temporary or permanent obstruction to safe and easy access to the facility to be
inspected and sampled shall be promptly removed by the operator at the written or oral
request of the city and shall not be replaced. The costs of clearing such access shall be
borne by the operator.
(f) Unreasonable delays in allowing the city or its designee access to a permitted facility is
a violation of a storm water discharge permit and of this Chapter. A person who is the
operator of a facility with a NPDES permit to discharge storm water associated with
industrial activity commits an offense if the person denies the city reasonable access to
the permitted facility for the purpose of conducting any activity authorized or required
by this Chapter.
(g) If the city or its designee have been refused access to any part of the premises from
which stormwater is discharged, and he/she is able to demonstrate probable cause to
believe that there may be a violation of this Chapter, or that there is a need to inspect or
sample as part of a routine inspection and sampling program designed to verify
compliance with this Chapter or any order issued hereunder, or to protect the overall
public health, safety, and welfare of the community, then the city may seek issuance of
a search warrant from any court of competent jurisdiction.
16
Page 94 of 320
(D) Watercourse protection. Every person owning or occupying premises through which a
watercourse passes, shall keep and maintain that part of the watercourse within the
premises free of trash, debris, excessive vegetation, and other obstacles that would pollute,
contaminate, or significantly retard the flow of water through the watercourse. In addition,
the owner or occupant shall maintain existing privately owned structures within or adjacent
to a watercourse so that such structures will not become a hazard to the use, function, or
physical integrity of the watercourse.
(E) Notification of spills. Notwithstanding other requirements of law, as soon as any person
responsible for a facility or operation or responsible for emergency response for a facility
or operation has information of any known or suspected release of materials which are
resulting or may result in illegal discharges or pollutants discharging into stormwater, the
storm drain system, or waters of the state, said person shall take all necessary steps to
ensure the discovery, containment, and cleanup of such release. In the event of such a
release of hazardous materials, said person must immediately notify emergency response
agencies of the occurrence via emergency dispatch services. In the event of a release of
nonhazardous materials, said person shall notify the city no later than the next business
day. Notifications in person or by phone shall be confirmed by written notice addressed
and mailed to the city within three business days of the personal or phone notice. If the
discharge of prohibited materials originates from an industrial establishment, the owner or
operator of such establishment shall also retain an on-site written record of the discharge
and the actions taken to prevent its recurrence. Such records must be retained for at least
three years.
(F) Enforcement.
(1) Notice of Violation. Whenever the city finds that a person has violated a prohibition or failed
to meet a requirement of this Chapter, the city may order compliance by written notice of
violation to the responsible person. Such notice may require without limitation:
(2) Appeal of Notice of Violation. Any person receiving a Notice of Violation may appeal the
determination to the City Council. The notice of appeal must be received within 15 days after
the date of the Notice of Violation. Hearing on the appeal shall take place within 30 days
after the date of receipt of the notice of appeal. The decision of the City Council shall be
final.
17
Page 95 of 320
(3) Enforcement Measures After Appeal. If the violation has not been corrected pursuant to the
requirements set forth in the Notice of Violation, or, in the event of an appeal, within 15 days
after the decision of the City Council, the city may enter upon the subject property and take
any and all measures necessary to abate the violation and restore the property. It shall be
unlawful for any person, owner, agent or person in possession of any premises to refuse to
allow the city or its designated contractor to enter upon the property for the purposes set forth
above.
(4) Cost of Abatement of the Violation. Within 30 days after abatement of the violation, the
owner of the property will be notified of the cost of abatement, including administrative
costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the
assessment within 15 days. If the amount due is not paid within a timely manner as
determined by the decision of the City Council or by the expiration of the time in which to
file an appeal, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall
constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.
(5) Injunctive Relief. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this
Chapter, the city may petition the district court for a preliminary or permanent
injunction restraining the person from activities that would create further violations or
compelling the person to perform abatement or remediation of the violation.
(7) Violations Deemed a Public Nuisance. In addition to the enforcement processes and penalties
provided, any condition caused or permitted to exist in violation of any of the provisions of
this Chapter is a threat to public health, safety, and welfare, and is declared and deemed a
nuisance, and may be summarily abated or restored at the violator's expense, and a civil
action to abate, enjoin, or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken.
(8) Remedies Not Exclusive. The remedies listed in this Section are not exclusive of any other
remedies available under any applicable federal, state or local law and it is within the
discretion of the city to seek cumulative remedies.
(2013 Code, 16.11) (Ord. 807, passed 9-25-2008) Penalty, see 54.99

class as defined by the State Routine Assessment Method (MNRAM) for evaluating wetland
functions - Version 3.1 or later version - must be assigned.
(2013 Code, 16.11) (Ord. 807, passed 9-25-2008)
For any parcel created or redeveloped, a wetland buffer as defined in this Chapter is required.
(A) Required wetland buffer dimensions.
(1) Wetland buffer dimensions will be based on the wetlands management class as defined by
MNRAM.
(2) The required area of the wetland buffer shall be calculated using the average buffer width
as measured from the delineated wetland edge.
(B) Required wetland buffer vegetation. Vegetation within a wetland buffer shall be
established and maintained as follows:
(1) The first 25 feet of the wetland buffer as measured from the wetland delineation or public
waters wetland ordinary high water level (OHWL) must not be disturbed during project
construction (i.e. cleared or graded), with the exception of temporary disturbances for
public roads and utility construction. This area must be protected from disturbance with
temporary fencing prior to construction. If it is necessary to establish acceptable vegetation
within the area so that it is in compliance with the vegetation requirements of this Chapter,
vegetation may be removed and replaced, and site soils preparation work may be performed
within this area.
(2) Where acceptable natural vegetation exists within the wetland buffer, the retention of such
vegetation in an undisturbed state is required unless the applicant receives approval from
the Public Works Director to replace such vegetation. A wetland buffer is considered to
have acceptable natural vegetation if it has a continuous, dense layer of perennial grasses,
or an overstory of trees or shrubs that have been uncultivated or unbroken for at least five
consecutive years. The city may determine existing vegetation to be unacceptable if the
wetland buffer has undesirable characteristics such as noxious or invasive plant species or
topography that channelizes the flow of runoff.
(3) (a) In cases where the wetland buffer does not contain vegetation or has been cultivated
or otherwise disturbed within five years of the application, the wetland buffer area must be
replanted with native seed mix approved by the Public Works Director and maintained
until it is established.
20
Page 98 of 320
(b) The proposed types of wetland buffer plantings, proposed maintenance, and
monitoring activities and schedule must be identified on the application. Any vegetation
planted within the wetland buffer are independent of any landscaping that may be required
elsewhere on the property by the city.
(c) During the first 2 full growing seasons, the owner must replant any wetland buffer
vegetation that does not survive. After this time, the owner shall remain responsible for re-
seeding or replanting vegetation within the wetland buffer if it changes at any time due to
human intervention or activities.
(C) Wetland buffer easements and markers. When a wetland buffer is required pursuant to
this Chapter, the applicant shall prior to issuance of any building permits by the city:
(1) Submit to the city for its approval a conservation easement in favor of the city for protection
of the wetland buffers and wetlands on the property, or include the wetland buffer and
wetlands in an outlot dedicated to the city as part of the plat. The conservation easement
shall legally describe the boundaries of the wetland or public waters wetland and the
wetland buffer and identify the marker locations;
(2) Record the conservation easement or final plat with the county and submit evidence thereof
to the city;
(3) Wetland buffers shall be marked to clearly designate their boundaries. At least 1 marker
shall be required on each lot. There shall be at least 1 marker every 200 feet along the edge
of the wetland buffer; and
(4) A marker shall consist of a post and a sign indicating the presence of a wetland buffer. The
applicant will be required to furnish and install 4 by 4 inch sign posts to a height of 5 feet
above finished grade. The city will furnish and install the signs. If the applicant does not
install the posts, the city will furnish and install them. Fees incurred by the city for post
furnishing and installation will be paid by the applicant.
(2) The following activities shall be permitted in the wetland buffer and shall not constitute
prohibited alterations:
(a) Removal of noxious vegetation such as, but not limited to, European buckthorn, purple
loosestrife, and reed canary grass;
(b) Installation of new plantings that enhance the natural vegetation;
(c) Selective clearing or pruning of trees or vegetation that are dead, diseased, or pose
similar hazards;
21
Page 99 of 320
(d) Use and maintenance of 1 unimproved access strip through the wetland buffer for
recreational access to a watercourse, where permitted. The strip shall be no greater than
20 feet in width;
(e) Construction, maintenance, repair, reconstruction, or replacement of existing and
future public roads, utilities, or drainage systems within a wetland buffer, so long as
any adverse impacts of the construction and installation on the function of the wetland
buffer have been avoided or minimized to the extent practical and the activity has been
approved by the city;
(f) Construction of individual sewage treatment systems (ISTS) so long as the vegetation
growing on the system is maintained in accordance with this Chapter, the area for the
ISTS is not credited as wetland buffer area, and the edge of the ISTS is located at least
35 feet from the delineated wetland edge;
(g) Clearing, grading, and seeding if part of a wetland replacement plan approved by the
city;
(h) Maintenance, repair, or replacement of trails; and
(i) Placement or maintenance of ponds or other stormwater treatment facilities, so long as
the area of the pond is not credited as wetland buffer area and the embankment of the
pond is located at least 35 feet from the delineated wetland edge.
(E) Exceptions.
(1) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not requited for any residentially zoned lot of
record as of the effective date of this chapter.
(2) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not required for any wetland that qualifies for
a de minimus exemption under the Wetland Conservation Act.
(3) Wetland buffers and structure setbacks are not required for any wetland qualifying for an
incidental wetland exemption under the Wetland Conservation Act.

construction costs. If the drainage area is over five acres, a sediment basin
shall be utilized.
2. Silt fence or hay bales shall be utilized to control erosion and prevent
sedimentation from leaving the construction site. These structures shall be
properly installed according to the City of Shakopee Standard Specifications
and Detail Plates.
3. If needed, sod shall be laid in strips at intervals necessary to prevent erosion
and at right angles to the direction of drainage.
4. At existing storm sewer inlets, temporary sedimentation traps may be
necessary to prevent erosion from entering the storm sewer system, and
downstream water bodies.
5. Adequate provision shall be made to prevent the tracking or dropping of dirt
or other materials from the site onto any street by the use of rock construction
entrances.
C. Exposed Slopes. The following control measures shall be taken to control erosion
during construction:
1. No exposed slope shall be steeper in grade than three (3) feet horizontal to one
(1) foot vertical.
2. Exposed slopes steeper in grade than ten (10) feet horizontal to one (1) foot
vertical shall be contour plowed to minimize direct runoff of water.
3. At the foot of each exposed slope, a channel and berm shall be constructed to
control runoff. The channeled water shall be diverted to a sedimentation basin
(debris basin, silt basin or silt trap) before being allowed to enter the natural
drainage system.
4. Along the top of each exposed slope, a berm shall be constructed to prevent
runoff from flowing over the edge of the slope. Where runoff collecting
behind said berm cannot be diverted elsewhere and must be directed down the
slope, appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent erosion. Such measures
shall consist of either an asphalt paved flow apron and drop chute laid down
the slope or a flexible slope drain. At the base of the slope drain or flood
apron, a gravel energy dissipater shall be installed to prevent erosion at the
discharge end.
5. Exposed slopes shall be protected by whatever means will effectively prevent
erosion considering the degree of slope, soils materials, and expected length
of exposure. Slope protection shall consist of mulch, sheets of plastic, burlap
or jut netting, sod blankets, fast growing grasses or temporary seeding of
annual grasses. Mulch consists of hay, straw, wood chips, corn stalks, bark or
other protective material. Mulch shall be anchored to slopes with liquid
asphalt, stakes, and netting or shall be worked into the soil to provide
additional slope stability.

6. Control measures, other than those specifically stated above may be used in
place of the above measures if it can be demonstrated that they will effectively
protect exposed slopes.
A. The owner or developer shall be responsible for maintaining all erosion control
structures in a condition that will ensure continuous functioning of those devices. If,
after the installation of the erosion control structure, the City Engineer determines that
additional measures are needed, they shall be installed at the expense of the owner.
B. Any erosion or sediment that runs off or blows off the site onto adjoining properties,
City streets, storm sewers, etc., shall be the responsibility of the owner or developer
for clean up and restoration. If the owner fails to properly clean up or restore all areas
affected by erosion the City will hire a contractor to complete the work and bill the
owner for the expenses associated with the clean-up.
7. Technical Reference. The City officially designates the "Protecting Water Quality in Urban
Areas" prepared by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as the technical reference for this
Section. This reference will be used to ensure the proper placement and installation of any proposed
erosion control structures.
8. Security. The owner or developer shall submit to the City either cash or a certified letter of credit
in accordance with current City requirements to guarantee the faithful execution of the grading and
erosion control plan. This security shall be in the amount of one-hundred twenty-five (125) percent
of the costs for grading, the construction of all erosion control devices and site restoration or
$1,000/disturbed acre, whichever is higher, including the costs of City construction observation and
administration (as approved by the City Engineer). The City is authorized to draw against this security
in the event the grading and erosion control plan is not followed.
9. Unlawful Acts. It is unlawful for any person, either by the owner or the occupant of premises, to
violate, neglect or refuse to comply with the requirements of this Section. In addition, if the Building
Official or the City Engineer determines that adequate erosion control measures are not being
followed and there is little cooperation on the part of the owner to do so, a "stop work" order may be
issued to all work on the site until such times as adequate measures are implemented.
A. The design criteria, policies, and objectives shall be those described in the Citys

these results is to place the 0.8 depth point of both sewers at the same elevation.
N. Storm sewer placed in non-paved areas must be placed on property corners and
property lines when possible.
Q. Pond design standards. Stormwater detention facilities constructed in the city shall
be designed according to standards established by the Engineering Division, and

(normal outlet) which shall be greater than or equal to the runoff from a 2-
1/2 inch rainfall over the entire contributing drainage area assuming full
development;
4. Basin side slopes below the 100-year high water level should be no steeper

through the use of regional or downstream systems prior to discharge of
runoff to waters of the state.
7. Infiltration systems must not be excavated to final grade until the
contributing drainage area has been constructed and fully stabilized. When
the infiltration feature is excavated to final grade, rigorous erosion
prevention and sediment control BMPs must be implemented to keep
sediment and runoff completely away from the infiltration area.
8. To prevent clogging of the infiltration system, a pretreatment device must
be used to settle particles before the stormwater discharges into the
infiltrations system.
9. Areas of permanent pools tend to lose infiltration capacity over time and
will not be acceptable as an infiltration practice.
10. Per Ordinance Section 54.15 Stormwater Management Plan Approval and
Implementation Standards, the infiltration system must provide a water
quality volume (calculated as an instantaneous volume) of one (1) inch of
runoff (or one (1) inch minus the volume of stormwater treated by another

A. The lot dimensions shall be such as to comply with the minimum lot areas specified
in the Zoning Chapter.
B. Side lines of lots shall be substantially at right angles to straight street lines or radial
to curved street lines.
C. In the subdividing of any land, due regard shall be shown for all natural features, such
as tree growth, wetlands, steep slopes, watercourse, historic spots, or similar
conditions, and plans adjusted to preserve those which will add attractiveness, safety
and stability to the proposed development.
D. All remnants of lots below minimum size left over after subdividing of a larger tract
must be added to adjacent lots rather than allowed to remain as unusable parcels.
E. Double frontage (lots with frontage on two parallel streets) or reverse frontage shall
not be permitted except:
1. Where lots back on an arterial or collector street, in which case vehicular and
pedestrian access between the lots and arterial streets shall be prohibited. Such
double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at least twenty (20) feet
in order to allow space for screen planting along the back lot line.
2. Where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise
unreasonable, such double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at
least twenty (20) feet in order to allow space for screen planting along the back
lot line.

G. Rural service lots shall be designed in such a manner whereby septic tanks, drainfields
and homes are located as to allow future subdivision of the land upon the requirement
of the City Engineer where future urban service expansion is probable. The City may
also require at the time of final subdivision approval that a covenant be recorded which
requires the placement of future structures in accordance with approved preliminary
plat design. Whenever a parcel of land is subdivided into lots containing one or more
acres and there are indications that such lots may eventually be subdivided into smaller
plats, the Council may require that such parcel of land be divided so as to allow for
the future construction of streets and the extension of adjacent streets. Easements
providing for the future opening and extension of such streets may be made a
requirement of the plat.
H. All lots or parcels shall have direct adequate physical access for emergency vehicles
along the frontage of the lot or parcel from a public roadway
B. Responsibility for any noise mitigation measures shall be the responsibility of the
developer, its successors and/or assigns. This responsibility shall be included and
clearly stated in plat approval resolutions or other relevant approval documents.

5. Performance Standards.
A. General Standards. In general, this Section does not require the use of any particular
type of structure to control erosion and sedimentation. The City Engineer or Building
Official shall evaluate the proposed measures to determine if they follow current
accepted design criteria and engineering standards.
1. The smallest practical area of land shall be exposed at any given time during
development.
2. Exposed soil shall be seeded and mulched in accordance with NPDES Permit
requirements.
3. All development shall conform to the natural limitations presented by the
topography and soil as to create the best potential for preventing soil erosion.
4. Erosion control measures shall be coordinated with the different stages of
development. Appropriate control measures shall be installed prior to
development to control erosion.
5. The natural vegetation and plant covering shall be retained whenever possible.
Temporary vegetation, mulching or other cover shall be used to protect critical
areas and permanent vegetation shall be installed as soon as practical.
1. The natural drainage system shall be used when and wherever is feasible for
storage and flow of runoff. Stormwater drainage shall be discharged to
retention basins or other treatment facilities. Temporary storage area or
retention ponds shall be considered to reduce peak flows, erosion damage and
construction costs. If the drainage area is over five acres, a sediment basin
shall be utilized.
2. Silt fence or hay bales shall be utilized to control erosion and prevent
sedimentation from leaving the construction site. These structures shall be
properly installed according to the City of Shakopee Standard Specifications
and Detail Plates.
3. If needed, sod shall be laid in strips at intervals necessary to prevent erosion
and at right angles to the direction of drainage.
4. At existing storm sewer inlets, temporary sedimentation traps may be
necessary to prevent erosion from entering the storm sewer system, and
downstream water bodies.
5. Adequate provision shall be made to prevent the tracking or dropping of dirt
or other materials from the site onto any street by the use of rock construction
entrances.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
City of Shakopee Design Criteria Page 9
Page 150 of 320
C. Exposed Slopes. The following control measures shall be taken to control erosion
during construction:
1. No exposed slope shall be steeper in grade than three (3) feet horizontal to one
(1) foot vertical.
2. Exposed slopes steeper in grade than ten (10) feet horizontal to one (1) foot
vertical shall be contour plowed to minimize direct runoff of water.
3. At the foot of each exposed slope, a channel and berm shall be constructed to
control runoff. The channeled water shall be diverted to a sedimentation basin
(debris basin, silt basin or silt trap) before being allowed to enter the natural
drainage system.
4. Along the top of each exposed slope, a berm shall be constructed to prevent
runoff from flowing over the edge of the slope. Where runoff collecting
behind said berm cannot be diverted elsewhere and must be directed down the
slope, appropriate measures shall be taken to prevent erosion. Such measures
shall consist of either an asphalt paved flow apron and drop chute laid down
the slope or a flexible slope drain. At the base of the slope drain or flood
apron, a gravel energy dissipater shall be installed to prevent erosion at the
discharge end.
5. Exposed slopes shall be protected by whatever means will effectively prevent
erosion considering the degree of slope, soils materials, and expected length
of exposure. Slope protection shall consist of mulch, sheets of plastic, burlap
or jut netting, sod blankets, fast growing grasses or temporary seeding of
annual grasses. Mulch consists of hay, straw, wood chips, corn stalks, bark or
other protective material. Mulch shall be anchored to slopes with liquid
asphalt, stakes, and netting or shall be worked into the soil to provide
additional slope stability.
6. Control measures, other than those specifically stated above may be used in
place of the above measures if it can be demonstrated that they will effectively
protect exposed slopes.
A. The owner or developer shall be responsible for maintaining all erosion control
structures in a condition that will ensure continuous functioning of those devices. If,
_____________________________________________________________________________________
City of Shakopee Design Criteria Page 10
Page 151 of 320
after the installation of the erosion control structure, the City Engineer determines that
additional measures are needed, they shall be installed at the expense of the owner.
B. Any erosion or sediment that runs off or blows off the site onto adjoining properties,
City streets, storm sewers, etc., shall be the responsibility of the owner or developer
for clean up and restoration. If the owner fails to properly clean up or restore all areas
affected by erosion the City will hire a contractor to complete the work and bill the
owner for the expenses associated with the clean-up.
7. Technical Reference. The City officially designates the "Protecting Water Quality in Urban
Areas" prepared by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency as the technical reference for this
Section. This reference will be used to ensure the proper placement and installation of any proposed
erosion control structures.
8. Security. The owner or developer shall submit to the City either cash or a certified letter of credit
in accordance with current City requirements to guarantee the faithful execution of the grading and
erosion control plan. This security shall be in the amount of one-hundred twenty-five (125) percent
of the costs for grading, the construction of all erosion control devices and site restoration or
$1,000/disturbed acre, whichever is higher, including the costs of City construction observation and
administration (as approved by the City Engineer). The City is authorized to draw against this security
in the event the grading and erosion control plan is not followed.
9. Unlawful Acts. It is unlawful for any person, either by the owner or the occupant of premises, to
violate, neglect or refuse to comply with the requirements of this Section. In addition, if the Building
Official or the City Engineer determines that adequate erosion control measures are not being
followed and there is little cooperation on the part of the owner to do so, a "stop work" order may be
issued to all work on the site until such times as adequate measures are implemented.
A. The design criteria, policies, and objectives shall be those described in the Citys
Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan. No existing ditch, stream,
wetland, pond, drain or drainage canal shall be deepened, widened, filled, re-routed
or filled without approval from the City Council.
B. Storm sewer shall be designed to have a minimum full flow velocity of three (3)
feet/second.
C. Storm sewer structures exceeding four (4) feet in depth shall have a minimum
diameter of forty-eight (48) inches.
2. Pond Slopes. Pond slopes below the HWL shall not be steeper than four (4) feet horizontal to
one (1) foot vertical. All ponds shall have a bench at the normal water level. This bench shall be
a minimum of ten (10) feet wide and the slope of this bench shall not be steeper than ten (10) feet
horizontal to one (1) foot vertical.

address all aspects of runoff, retention, detention, channel flow, or other appropriate
information that is necessary for the design of the drainage system. The drainage
map shall be prepared on the overall grading plan for the development. It shall
illustrate the drainage patterns in the development as well as the location of all
drainage facilities within the development. The map shall also show the runoff
rates and acreage tributary to all collection points within the development. When
intersections serve as collector points, the flow in each curb line must be noted.
This drawing may use scales from 1" = 50' to 1' = 200', in order to limit the drawing
to one sheet. When more than one sheet is used a scale of 1" = 200' shall be utilized.
D. An overall drainage plan of the study area, including all areas outside of the study
area, which contributes runoff to the study area and all downstream areas, which
will be effected, by runoff from the study area, must be submitted. Drainage area

Method runoff coefficient or an approved equivalent value for any other
method.
4. The probable future flow pattern in undeveloped areas shall be based on
existing natural topographic features (existing slopes, drainage ways, etc.)
and shall conform to the Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
City of Shakopee Design Criteria Page 13
Page 154 of 320
5. Average land slopes in both developed and undeveloped area may be used
in computing runoff. However, for areas in which drainage patterns and
slopes are established, these shall be utilized.
6. Flows and velocities which may occur at a design point when the upstream
area is fully developed shall be considered. Drainage facilities shall be so
designed such that increased flows and velocities will not cause erosion
damage.
7. The use of on-site detention and natural drainage ways is recommended and
encouraged whenever possible. The changing of natural drainage way
locations will not be approved unless such change is shown to be without
unreasonable hazard and liability, substantiated by thorough analysis and
investigation.
8. The planning and design of drainage systems shall be such that problems
are not transferred from one location to another. Outfall points shall be
designed in such a manner that will not create flooding hazards downstream.
H. All lateral storm sewer facilities shall be designed to accommodate a ten (10) year

reinforced concrete pipe (RCP), unless otherwise approved by the Public Works
Director.
K. Driveway culverts in rural areas shall be at least eighteen (18) inches in diameter.
Plastic pipe is prohibited.
M. When a smaller sewer joins a larger one, the invert of the larger sewer should be
lowered to maintain the same energy gradient. An acceptable method for securing
these results is to place the 0.8 depth point of both sewers at the same elevation.
N. Storm sewer placed in non-paved areas must be placed on property corners and
property lines when possible.

P. Stormwater management requirements for permanent facilities.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
City of Shakopee Design Criteria Page 15
Page 156 of 320
d) Where high levels of contaminants in soil or
groundwater will be mobilized by the infiltrating
stormwater.
2) Stormwater discharges of Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
3) Stormwater discharges of Total Phosphorus (TP).
b. Water Quality Control. For New Development, the water quality
control standard shall be considered satisfied if the volume control
standard has been satisfied. In the event that it is infeasible to meet
the volume control standard due to contaminated soils, site
constraints, etc., the proposed plan will need to maintain the TSS
and TP loading; and for redevelopment the goal is to reduce the TSS
and TP loadings (Non-Permit method alternative method with
little to no additional modeling required). Methods for meeting these
requirements in the decreasing order of preference:
i. Credits and site design practices to minimize the creation of
connected impervious surfaces are used to the extent practical.
ii. Underdrains to promote filtration instead of infiltration.
iii. Off-site infiltration.
iv. On-site wet detention with permanent pool volume below the
normal outlet that is greater than or equal to the runoff from a 2.5
inch, 24-hour storm over the entire contributing drainage area,
assuming full development.
c. Rate Control. Rate control measures are required on new
development and redevelopment projects to meet the water quantity
criteria of the latest citys Comprehensive Water Resource
Management Plan.
Q. Pond design standards. Stormwater detention facilities constructed in the city shall
be designed according to standards established by the Engineering Division, and
identified as follows:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
City of Shakopee Design Criteria Page 17
Page 158 of 320
a. Where documented past, present, or anticipated future land uses
have resulted in or may result in contamination coming in contact
with stormwater runoff.
b. With less than three (3) feet of separation distance from the bottom
of the infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated
soils or the top of bedrock.
c. Where vehicle fueling and maintenance occur.
d. Where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial
stormwater under and NPDES/SDS Industrial Stormwater Permit
issued by the MPCA.
5. Infiltration will be restricted and subject to additional City review where the
infiltration BMP will be constructed in any of the following areas:
a. Within 1,000 feet up-gradient, or 100 feet down-gradient of active
karst features.
b. Where Drinking Water Supply Management Areas are present, as
defined by Minn. R. 4720.51000, subp.13, unless precluded by a
local unit of government with an MS4 permit.
c. Soils are predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D (clay) soils.
d. Soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour unless soils
are amended to slow the infiltration rate below 8.3 inches per hour.
e. Stormwater runoff shall be treated in a stormwater pond or by other
means prior to entering an infiltration facility; or
6. The minimum infiltration requirements for any region of the city will be
the requirements of the watershed district or watershed management
organization policies that govern that region. These policies may be met
through the use of regional or downstream systems prior to discharge of
runoff to waters of the state.
7. Infiltration systems must not be excavated to final grade until the
contributing drainage area has been constructed and fully stabilized. When
the infiltration feature is excavated to final grade, rigorous erosion
prevention and sediment control BMPs must be implemented to keep
sediment and runoff completely away from the infiltration area.
8. To prevent clogging of the infiltration system, a pretreatment device must
be used to settle particles before the stormwater discharges into the
infiltrations system.
9. Areas of permanent pools tend to lose infiltration capacity over time and
will not be acceptable as an infiltration practice.
10. Per Ordinance Section 54.15 Stormwater Management Plan Approval and
Implementation Standards, the infiltration system must provide a water
quality volume (calculated as an instantaneous volume) of one (1) inch of
runoff (or one (1) inch minus the volume of stormwater treated by another
system on the site) from the new impervious surfaces created by the
project.
11. The applicant must ensure filtration systems with less than three (3) feet of
separation from seasonally saturated soils or from bedrock are constructed
with an impermeable liner.
12. A minimum maintenance access of twelve (12) feet is required.

convenient access to it.
14. Access to Arterial and Collector Roadways. In the case where a proposed plat is adjacent to an
arterial or collector road, the applicant shall not direct vehicle or pedestrian access from individual
lots to such roadways. The subdivider will be required to provide access to all lots via public streets.
Spacing of these public streets shall meet the requirements of the Citys adopted Transportation Plan.
15. Platting of Small Tracts. In the platting of small tracts of land fronting arterial roadways where
there is no convenient access to existing entrances and where access from such plat would be closer
than 1/4 mile from an existing access point, a service road forty (40) feet wide shall be dedicated
across the tract. As the neighboring land is platted and developed, and access becomes possible to
the service road, direct access to the thoroughfares shall be prohibited.
16. Deflections/Horizontal Curves. When connecting street lines deflect from each other at any one
point by more than ten (10) degrees, they shall be connected by a curve with a radius of not less than
one-hundred twenty (120) feet. Depending on grades and projected traffic volumes the City Engineer

E. Double frontage (lots with frontage on two parallel streets) or reverse frontage shall
not be permitted except:
1. Where lots back on an arterial or collector street, in which case vehicular and
pedestrian access between the lots and arterial streets shall be prohibited. Such
double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at least twenty (20) feet
in order to allow space for screen planting along the back lot line.
2. Where topographic or other conditions render subdividing otherwise
unreasonable, such double frontage lots shall have an additional depth of at
least twenty (20) feet in order to allow space for screen planting along the back
lot line.
F. All lots must abut their full frontage on a publicly dedicated street.
G. Rural service lots shall be designed in such a manner whereby septic tanks, drainfields
and homes are located as to allow future subdivision of the land upon the requirement
of the City Engineer where future urban service expansion is probable. The City may
also require at the time of final subdivision approval that a covenant be recorded which
requires the placement of future structures in accordance with approved preliminary
plat design. Whenever a parcel of land is subdivided into lots containing one or more
acres and there are indications that such lots may eventually be subdivided into smaller
plats, the Council may require that such parcel of land be divided so as to allow for
the future construction of streets and the extension of adjacent streets. Easements
providing for the future opening and extension of such streets may be made a
requirement of the plat.
H. All lots or parcels shall have direct adequate physical access for emergency vehicles
along the frontage of the lot or parcel from a public roadway

Introduction:
According to our Agreement for Professional Services within the City of Shakopee and Section
I- C- 2 ( Major Projects), this extension agreement is written to provide you with an estimate of
cost for engineering services for the above- referenced project. We are proposing to complete
the work as detailed in the attached Scope of Design Services, Exhibit A and Scope of
Construction Administration/ Survey Services, Exhibit B. WSB & Associates, Inc. ( WSB) is very
familiar with the project with our work on the MnDOT Municipal Agreement Application we
prepared for this roadway segment back in 2012.
Background:
One of the important factors for the construction of this final segment of Vierling Drive to the
west is this Vierling Drive connection will provide a local reliever and parallel route to TH 169
from CR 69 to Eagle Creek Boulevard. Currently, if an accident were to occur on TH 169, which
causes lane restriction or roadway closure, there isn' t a reasonable nearby alternative to TH 169
through the City of Shakopee. Completing the Vierling Drive connection also provides a route
for area residents to utilize local streets providing greater accessibility to their homes. Long
term, the connection will provide for additional collector route access to the Shakopee Town
Square shopping center.
The Vierling Drive connection is from Taylor Street West to County Road 69. The approximate
1, 000 foot connection will provide a local roadway paralleling TH 169 from County Road 69 to
Eagle Creek Boulevard. The Vierling Drive connection is understood to be four lanes to match
the current roadway section. Turn lanes will also be provided at CR 69 and at the access into
the Shakopee Town Square shopping center. Pedestrian / bicycle facilities will also be provided
to match the existing roadway section with sidewalk on the north side of the roadway and trail
on the south side of the roadway.
Scope of Services:
The attached scope of design services describes the approach and tasks proposed to be
completed by WSB for street and utility design for this project. The work plan includes
engineering design services for roadway, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water main, signing
and striping, traffic control, trails, removals, erosion control, street lighting and conduit crossing
plans. The work scope also includes project coordination and topographic surveying.
We understand that no feasibility report will be required for this project and no fee estimate was
provided for this work in our proposal. We are proposing to complete the final design portion of
this work as described in the attached Scope of Design Services, Exhibit A, on a cost-
reimbursable basis in accordance with our current fee schedule. It is proposed that all work
under the final design portion of the contract would be considered complete after the
preconstruction conference. We will review our progress monthly and will not exceed these
amounts without your prior approval.
WSB is available to provide construction services if the City desires assistance. These would
be part of a separate contract with the City. WSB typically provides construction survey and
would be available for inspection as well.

WORK PLAN
1. Project Management
This task includes planning and coordination of all work tasks, establishment and
monitoring of budgets, meetings and correspondence with the City of Shakopee, MnDOT,
Scott County, SPUC and if necessary, the Watershed District on a periodic basis. The
project manager will provide technical direction on all aspects of the project review, all
work products and prepare monthly progress reports. The project manager will serve a
primary role in the many design considerations. Donald Sterna, PE, is proposed to manage
the project for WSB & Associates, Inc. ( WSB).
3. Geotechnical Evaluation
WSB team proposes to drill 3 soil borings to a depth 5 foot depth below the lowest City
utility elevation. The field investigation will include an estimated R-Value that will be used
to establish the pavement design. Additional soil boring information required for infiltration
testing required for design will be considered additional work which is not included in this
proposal. A brief geotechnical report will be prepared summarizing the geotechnical
findings.
4. Utility Coordination
WSB will call in a Gopher State One design locate and from that, identify all utilities in the
area. We will make contact with those utilities to obtain facility mapping along with
establishing our contact to discuss future utility plans. Based on the preliminary layout,
utility conflicts will be identified and design measures will be considered to accommodate
these conflicts. The cost for these utility conflicts, if any, will be identified and included as
part of the overall cost estimate.
Exhibit A 1

Exhibit A
6. 1 Data Collection: Available data will be collected from Scott County, the City of
Shakopee, MnDOT and other impacted agencies. This data will include but is not limited
to:
This task will include collecting new traffic volume data at the intersection of Vierling Drive
and the Shakopee Town Square access with a video camera and counting tubes. 48 hours of
data will be collected at the intersection. The information that will be determined from the
data will include; AM, PM and midday peak hour traffic volumes, average daily traffic
volumes, vehicle classification, pedestrian/ bike volumes and speed data. In addition, WSB
will review the camera data and note any safety and/or operational issues at the intersection.
Conduct operational analyses of existing and projected traffic conditions using the
Synchro/ SimTraffic and Rodel computer software for the roundabout configuration
Justification analysis
The RJR analysis together with the data collected in Task 6. 1 will be assembled in the RJR
format required for submission to MnDOT State Aid.
7. Roundabout Design
WSB will complete the roundabout design based on the results of Task 6, regarding lane
configuration and following the design guidelines as indicated in Chapter 12 of the MnDOT
Road Design Manual and NCHRP 672. The roundabout will be designed to accommodate
the design vehicle and all necessary performance checks, such as fast path and phi angle,
will be completed during the preliminary design of the roundabout. It is assumed up to three
iterations of the roundabout configuration will be developed. Once a final configuration is
agreed upon, WSB will design the vertical component of the roundabout. This includes the
profiles leading to the roundabout and the longitudinal slope around the roundabout. The
roundabout will be modeled to tie into the existing topography, and construction limits will
represent those tie in points.
Exhibit A 2
Page 190 of 320
Exhibit A
WSB will develop a lighting configuration near and within the roundabout to State Aid
guidelines. A photometrics layout will be generated to ensure proper lighting of the
intersection.
Roundabout Lighting
Signing and Striping Plans
Cross- Sections
9. Drainage Analysis
From the previous plans, the roads within the site will be an urban design with storm sewer.
With partial installation of the facilities already complete, an analysis of the roadway
drainage area will be conducted to determine its existing condition and if additional special
stormwater management or ponding needs are required. This analysis would verify the flow
rates and determine what water quality and/ or rate control will need to be designed for the
roadway portions of the project. This analysis would include catch basin spacing, per City
requirements, infiltration, pond designs, pipe and sizing of all storm sewers under the
roadway.
Exhibit A 3
Page 191 of 320
Exhibit A
10. Permits
Permits will be acquired as part of the construction plan preparation. WSB will prepare and
apply for the necessary construction permits. The cost of the permits would be paid by the
City of Shakopee. The permits we anticipate that will be necessary for this project are:

occupy Trunk Highway Right-of-Way as necessary to perform the work described in the Project Plans. This
right is limited to the purpose of constructing the project, and administering such construction, and may be
revoked by the State at any time, with or without cause. Cause for revoking this right of occupancy includes,
-1-
but is not limited to, breaching the terms of this or any other agreement (relevant to this project) with the
State, failing to provide adequate traffic control or other safety measures, failing to perform the construction
properly and in a timely manner, and failing to observe applicable environmental laws or terms of applicable
permits. The State will have no liability to the City (or its contractors or consultants) for revoking this right
of occupancy.
2.2. State Access; Suspension of Work; Remedial Measures. The State's District Engineer or assigned
representative retains the right to enter and inspect the Trunk Highway Right-of-Way (including the
construction being performed on such right-of-way) at any time and without notice to the City or its
contractor. If the State determines (in its sole discretion) that the construction is not being performed in a
proper or timely manner, or that environmental laws (or the terms of permits) are not being complied with,
or that traffic control or other necessary safety measures are not being properly implemented, then the State
may direct the City (and its contractor) to take such remedial measures as the State deems necessary. The
State may require the City (and its contractors and consultants) to suspend their operations until suitable
remedial action plans are approved and implemented. The State will have no liability to the City (or its
contractors or consultants) for exercising its rights under this provision.
2.3. Traffic Control; Worker Safety. While the City (and its contractors and consultants) are occupying the State
Right-of-Way, they must comply with the approved traffic control plan, and with applicable provisions of
the Work Zone Field Handbook (http://www.dot.state.mn.us/trafficeng/workzone/index.html). All City,
contractor, and consultant personnel occupying the State's Right-of-Way must be provided with required
reflective clothing and hats.
2.4. State Ownership of Improvements. The State will retain ownership of its Trunk Highway Right-of-Way,
including any improvements made to such right-of-way under this Agreement, unless otherwise noted. The

flow to the State. The City will assist the State, as necessary, to enforce such warranties and guarantees, and
to obtain recovery from the City's consultants, and contractor (including its sureties) for non-performance of
contract work, for design errors and omissions, and for defects in materials and workmanship. Upon request
of the State, the City will undertake such actions as are reasonably necessary to transfer or assign contract
rights to the State and to permit subrogation by the State with respect to claims against the City's consultants
and contractors.

performance of the contract construction.
3.4. Compliance with Laws, Ordinances, Regulations. The City will comply and cause its contractor to comply
with all Federal, State and Local laws, and all applicable ordinances and regulations. With respect only to
that portion of work performed on the State's Trunk Highway Right-of-Way, the City will not require the
contractor to follow local ordinances or to obtain local permits.
4. Right-of-Way; Easements; Permits
4.1. The City will, without cost or expense to the State, obtain all rights-of-way, easements, construction permits

In previous action, the City Council authorized the collection of delinquent garbage accounts
in the city's designated "organized" collection area. This eliminated the need to stop service
to accounts, which leads to a higher incidence of illegal dumping.
Ordinance No. 583 was passed on October 17, 2000 amended Section 3.15, Subdivision 7 of
the City Code and obligated the property owners to pay the charges and costs for the
collection and disposal of refuse and recyclable materials.
Republic Services provided the City with a list of delinquent accounts on October 11, 2017
of which there were 143 property owners with unpaid garbage/refuse bills for a total an
amount due of $24,665.26. Last year at this same time, we had 197 delinquent accounts
totaling $30,870.61.
Attached is a list of delinquent property owners who have unpaid garbage/refuse bills. An
updated list of property owners to be assessed will be on the table Tuesday evening; this is to
allow property owners to make final payments until Tuesday, October 17, 2018. The listing
This list, which will accommodate Resolution No.7944, includes an administrative charge of
$25.00 to cover the city's cost and a $25.00 charge to cover Republic Services costs in
assessing these delinquent bills. These charges will be added to the delinquent bills once the
assessments are adopted by Council.
Budget Impact:
The $25.00 delinquent charge would be revenue to cover the administrative costs;
therefore, there is no impact on the budget.
ATTACHMENTS:
WHEREAS, pursuant to proper notice duly given as required by law, the City Council of
the City of Shakopee met and heard and passed upon all objections to the proposed assessments
of: Delinquent Refuse Bills
1. That such proposed assessment together with any amendments thereof, a copy of which is
attached hereto and made a part hereof, is hereby accepted and shall constitute the special
assessment against the lands named herein and each tract therein included is hereby
found to be delinquent.
2. That there will be added to the delinquent amount a $50.00 fee if the delinquent amount
is not paid to Republic Services on or before October 17, 2017.
3. Such assessments shall be payable in one installment, payable on or before the first
Monday in January 2018, and shall bear interest at the rate of 5.00 percent per annum
from the date of the adoption of this assessment resolution. To the one installment shall
be added the interest on the entire assessment from the date of this resolution until
December 31, 2018.
4. The owner of any property so assessed may, at any time prior to November 17, 2017, pay
the whole of the assessment on such property without interest to the City of Shakopee
Finance Department.
5. The owner may thereafter January 2018 pay to the County Treasurer the installment and
interest in process of collection on the current tax list.
6. The Clerk shall file the assessment rolls pertaining to this assessment in her office and
shall certify to the County Auditor the total amount of the installment on each parcel of
land for collection with next years taxes.
City Clerk
The city routinely certifies past due bills for collection with the property taxes. To date the
city has been unable to collect $800 for false alarm services and $520 for delinquent mowing
fees, estimating 2 parcels. The city will charge an additional $25 administrative fee if the
delinquent assessments become levied to cover the citys administrative costs.
An updated list of property owners to be assessed will be on the table Tuesday evening; this
is to allow property owners to make final payments until Tuesday, October 17, 2018. These
charges will be added to the delinquent bills once the assessments are adopted by Council.
Budget Impact:
The $25.00 delinquent charge would be revenue to cover the administrative costs; therefore,
there is no impact on the budget.

Downtown is rapidly being transformed into a twenty-four-hour area. There are already
a number of apartments in the area, largely for seniors. Above many of the historic
buildings are market rate apartments on the second and third floors. There are a
number of new entrepreneurial businesses that have opened and many that are long
term downtown destinations.
The city has invested $2 million in public improvements in the Downtown in 2017 that
includes a new redesigned parking lot with a public plaza, a new gateway at River City
Center that will include signage and a statue of Chief Shakopee and a new gateway
plaza at 101 and First Avenue (in front of OBriens) that will include seating walls,
landscaping and a sign announcing Downtown.
There have been a number of buildings in the downtown that have either been
revitalized or are in the process. There are currently four faade renovations planned
in downtown including a renovation of the former Lady Di building on Holmes Street
into a new use. Several buildings on First Avenue will be restoring their storefronts in
the coming months.
Retail rents downtown range from $11 to 20 per square foot. There has not been a
strong office rental market and most offices are owner-occupied. The most recent
office development is the relocation of the OBrien Dental Clinic to a modern office
building on Fuller Street. The clinic occupies the entire second floor and there are
commercial tenants on the first floor and basement. The building was purchased by
parties related to the dental clinic.
There has been an expressed need for a higher end hotel in the downtown to serve
corporate users in the community along with market rate housing, particularly for the
young professionals at companies like Seagate, Emerson and Entrust Datacard.
There is also a strong biking community in Shakopee and there is a state trail adjacent
to the riverfront site. This trail is accessible by a tunnel on Holmes Street from the
former city hall site and connects to a regional trail system.
Market rate apartment rents in Shakopee grew more than 17% in the past year, more
than any other city in the region. Market rate rents currently are at about $1.68 per
square foot for existing complexes. No new complexes have been built since 2005.
There currently are two new market rate projects under construction in the city. There
are 133 apartments adjacent to the new HyVee that will deliver to market in 2018 and
are largely studios, one and two bedrooms. Projected rents will be approximately
$1.80 per square foot/month. The project is four stories and stone, brick and hardi
plank and panels.
Page 242 of 320
The other project is in Southbridge adjacent to County Highway 21 and is just over 300
units. It is adjacent to a park and ride lot and across from entertainment, restaurants
and retail. Market studies are projecting rents in 2018 at $1.80-$1.90 per SF.
There are also up to 600 units planned in the Canterbury Park area. These luxury
units would be marketed to people downsizing from single family homes or executives
moving into the market along with horse owners or lovers that want a location adjacent
to the track and card room. This project currently has no start date.
THE SITES
River Site
The existing alley would be abandoned adjacent to the site and utilities will be
relocated out of the alley. The site has electricity, fiber, water and sewer. The city will
also consider abandoning a portion of the road along the river.
This site is adjacent to the state trail that runs through Shakopee to Chaska and to the
National Wildlife Refuge. The site is also adjacent to the Minnesota River. It is located
on the bend of the river and offers spectacular views up and down the river.
After reviewing all proposals, City staff may select up to five firms and conduct
interviews with each of those firms or teams. Following interviews, the City may ask for
additional information from firms and conduct follow-up interviews. Proposers and their
teams will be ranked in order of preference. Staff will then draft a Memorandum of
Understanding for a period of six months with the selected Proposer and forward a
recommendation to the City Council for approval of the selected Proposer. During the
initial six months, the chosen Proposer will develop final site, architectural and
marketing plans for the site. The Proposer will then submit these plans to the City for
final approvals.
The City of Shakopee reserves the right to reject any or all proposals as it may be
deemed in the best interest of the city.
Adoption of the final Disposition and Development Agreement by the City for the
property will be based on the following criteria:
Financing in place to complete the project including closing with the city
Schedule of development
Time Frame
It is the City's intent to have a contract executed with the selected firm by February
2018 and an expectation that the chosen developer will be able to enter into a final
disposition agreement with the City within six months depending on the developers
timeliness of submission of materials for design and financial approvals.
Attached is a memo that provides an evaluation of extending sanitary sewer to this property
to eliminate the private septic system. Based on this evaluation, the following proposed
recommendation and steps are presented for the City Councils consideration:
1. City to provide public sewer up to the property line at 225 Sommerville Street South.
2. Obtain written agreement for payment of special assessments.
3. Proceed with project, obtain bid alternatives for gravity vs. grinder pump system.
Costs and funding for the proposed sewer extension project are proposed as follows:
FUNDING
225 Property Owner $15,000 (fixed amount)
County Grant $ 6,000 (approximate)
City Sewer Fund $25,000 (remaining amount to be covered by city)
Total Funding $46,000
Funding is based on the premise that the property owner would be responsible for a fixed
amount of $15,000. This amount is based on an approximate cost for a typical replacement of
a septic system. Based on the actual project cost
and the grant amount received from the county, the city would fund the balance. Should
project cost savings be experienced or grant amount increase, this would result in a decrease
in the city's funding participation.
It should also be noted that additional costs to the property owner above and beyond as
outlined above include the following:
Amounts for the disconnection, abandonment of the old system, and connection into the new
system are estimated only. The abandonment of the existing system could be somewhat
complex because conditions indicate that the garage was constructed on top of the existing
holding tank and drain field. The estimated costs to the property owner for the public system,
sewer connection fees, and private work amount to $21,577.91.
Budget Impact:
The Sanitary Sewer Fund would account for approximately $25,000 of the sewer extension

Introduction
This memorandum provides the background and information to evaluate options to provide
sewer service to 225 Sommerville Street. It also provides information to evaluate the costs and
potential financing.
Background
Sometime mid to late 2016, the single-family home at 225 Sommerville Street experienced a
sanitary sewer backup. While it was assumed this property was hooked up to the citys sanitary
sewer, it was investigated and discovered that it was not. It is apparent that this property exists
with an individual sanitary sewer treatment system/holding tank that is owned by the property
owner.
As early as April 2017, Franklin Haws had discussions with the city about connecting to the citys
sanitary sewer for his property at 225 Sommerville Street. In most cases, it would have been
expected that a typical sanitary sewer service for future connection would have been stubbed
out to the property when the mainline sanitary sewer was installed in this neighborhood.
However, not only is a service stub not present at this property, a city sewer line is also not
within proximity to the property.
City Ordinance
In accordance with City Ordinance 52.08 (see Figure 1), the property is not required to hookup
to City sewer at this time. However, in being a good steward and in consideration of the
wellhead protection plan, it is recommended to eliminate all individual sanitary sewer treatment
systems when a public system is available and when feasible to do so. Additionally, this parcel is
within the citys municipal urban service area for sewer service, understanding that the intent
and goal of establishing these areas are to provide full public sewer service to all within this
area.
Assessment Policy
In general, the citys assessment policy indicates that the full project cost should be assessed to
the benefitting property(s). In this instance, the only benefitting property would be 225
Sommerville Street.
However, within the financing section, there is indication for consideration to be made for
unique areas that have developed without a sanitary sewer system where the City should find
methods to provide these improvements without causing undue hardship on the individual
property owner (see Figure 2). Within the general policy section, there is also indication that the
City may contribute in unusual circumstance (see Figure 3).
Should the city proceed with a public improvement project to address this issue, it is
recommended that we obtain a petition from the property outlining the proposed
improvements, benefits, cost share agreement and a waiver of special assessment hearing.
7380 CR 101 E. (Cargo Van-Go) A public sewer extension project was completed 2014. Their
total special assessment was $6,363.04. This property exists with an equivalent 2 SACs. However,
the City Council waived all sewer connection fees that would have amounted to an additional
$10,126.74
7480 CR 101 E. Tietjen Family Inc. (dba Ace Trailer Sales) A public sewer extension project was
completed 2014. Their total special assessment was $11,668.84. This property exists with an
equivalent 6 SACs. However, the City Council waived all sewer connection fees that would have
amounted to an additional $25,392.22
Hilldale Drive A public street and utility project was completed in 2016 in the existing Hilldale
Drive neighborhood that included roadway, watermain, sanitary sewer and storm sewer
improvements. A special benefit consultation was performed with a valuation of a minimum
amount of $28k per property. The City Council put an assessment cap of $28k per property for
these improvements that also included all sewer and water connection fees within this cap, in
essence waiving all sewer and water connection fees (sewer connection fees would have
amounted to approximately $5,800 per property).
Available Grants
The County has indicated that a possible grant (through the MPCA) that the County was
awarded is available to the property owner in the amount of approximately $6,000 and
potentially more. This grant funding is available until August 31, 2018.
SPUC has indicated that there are no grants available at this time as part of their wellhead
protection plan. They have indicated that they have no such initiative underway.
Property Valuation
The estimated property value within the citys DataLink system is $127,200 ($52,200 Building +
$75,000 Land). It should be noted that it is assumed this valuation assumes that the property
exists with city sewer.
1. Gravity Based on the surrounding existing sanitary sewer, a gravity sewer line could be
installed down the adjacent alley, easterly to connect into the existing city sewer located
within Spencer Street. Preliminary estimates for this option amount to as much as
$46,000. The gravity sewer could be considered public through the alley, stubbing out a
private service to the property line.
3. No City involvement A third option is for the property owner to proceed with the
improvement work by permit with his own resources and no city involvement other than
the required fees and inspection.
Other options existing such as direction drilling that could experience cost savings that should
be evaluated as alternative contractor bids.
WHEREAS, it was brought to the Citys attention that 225 Sommerville Street is not
hooked up to the citys sanitary sewer; and
WHEREAS, after further investigation of this property there is no service stub present and
a city sewer line is not within proximity to the property; and
WHEREAS, the property owner has met with city staff to discuss options.
1. That the improvement is necessary, cost effective and feasible, and is ordered as
hereinafter described:
225 Sommerville Street South Sanitary Sewer Extension Improvements and all
appurtenant work.
2. That the City Engineer is directed to prepare plans and specifications for the making of
such improvements.
3. That the City Council shall let the contract for all or part of the improvements as
authorized by Minnesota Statutes 429.041, no later than three years from the date of adoption of
this resolution, contingent upon execution of an agreement for payment of special assessments by
the property owner of 225 Sommerville Street South.
Adopted in regular session of the City Council of the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, held
this 17 day of October, 2017.

Overview Memo
This memo is written to provide the background and justification that substantiates the need for
a Water Resources/Environmental Engineer position within the City of Shakopee Public Works
(PW) Engineering Department, and I respectfully ask your consideration.
In the short time that I have been here at Shakopee, I have evaluated the workload and the
existing structure to deliver the workload. While I am continuing to evaluate all PW duties and
have identified some internal adjustments that I plan to implement over the next couple of
years, I have identified an immediate need and recommendation that will streamline delivering
certain work tasks, provide better customer service, and result in substantial cost savings to the
city pertaining to water resources.
Currently, WSB is being used as the exclusive consultant for surface water resource assistance.
Most notably, WSB houses the city storm water model and their staff are well educated on the
citys storm water rules. They are currently being used as a direct extension of city staff,
performing relatively all surface water evaluation and engineering work for the city (in lieu of
any city staff member performing this work). WSBs billings associated with general storm water
work amounts to well over $100k for the 7-month period from January through July 2017.
Extrapolating for a full year, it equates to approximately $170k. (Note: This amount only pertains
to general storm water work, understanding that the city also contracted with WSB for a
substantial amount of additional work pertaining to Quarry Park, Tahpah Park, the Downtown
project, Windermere, Vierling, 4th/Shenandoah, Mill Pond dam repair and other miscellaneous
projects amounting to several hundred-thousand dollars of additional billed out work for the
same period, well beyond the $170k.)
I have not yet developed a job description for the proposed Water Resources/Environmental
Engineer, but the following is a list of tasks that would benefit by having this position:
2. Development storm sewer/water resources review All of the citys stormwater and
Wetland Conservation Act review for developments are consulted out to WSB. Some
developers have even referred to WSB as if WSB is another jurisdiction when in fact they
are simply performing the review on behalf of the city. It is my opinion that there has
been a lack of ownership and clear understanding of the citys storm water requirements
internally. This new Engineer would be assigned to lead this task. It should also be noted
that we would continue needing support from a primary consultant (e.g. WSB); however,
to a much lesser extent. Estimated 15% FTE.
4. Storm drainage issues There are many lingering storm drainage issues and complaints
that have not been addressed including negative impacts that have surfaced as part of
development improvements, minor nuisance drainage issues, longstanding drainage
issues, etc. Most of these issues are fixable and should be addressed by the city at one
level or another. This new Engineer would be assigned to spearhead fully addressing
these issues and more as they arise. Estimated 10% FTE.
6. Natural resources Public Works must continue to carry on the many natural resource
initiatives and programs that were performed by the Natural Resources Technician
position that was recently eliminated. These continued tasks include: MS4 BMP surveys
and annual inspections, native plant maintenance program, water quality monitoring
program, miscellaneous grants, invasive species management, Tree City USA initiatives
(tree sale, tree planting program, diseased tree program, tree watering, tree pruning,
emerald ash borer program, etc.), conservation easement management, and other
Page 2 of 3
7. Local Water Resources Management Plan It is my goal to use the Local Water
Resources Management Plan as a working document, updating continuously and using it
as the tool to create our annual CIP pertaining to storm drainage issues and initiatives.
To meet this goal effectively, there needs to be an internal champion that is well versed
with our plan. Additionally, we are required to have our plan updated fall 2018. This new
Engineer would be assigned this task. Estimated 15% FTE.
8. City stormwater model WSB houses the citys digital storm water model. I expect WSB
to continue to house, maintain and update the citys model, but ideally, we could expand
our internal capacity to provide a lower level of technical use of the model vs. relying on
WSB to provide all services at every level. This new Engineer would be assigned to be the
liaison with WSB to maintain our model and to use the model at a lower level on the
citys end. This new Engineer would be assigned this task. Estimated 5% FTE.
The estimated FTE percentages are approximate, but demonstrate the anticipated work towards
each of these tasks. The outline above represents a workload that easily equates to a full-time
workload for a new Water Resources/Environmental Engineer.
As indicated above, it is estimated that WSB performs approximately $170k of annual general
storm water work. Going forward, it is proposed to have a better balance of project workload
using combination of internal staff (new Engineer) and consultants. Additionally, the work that
was performed by the Natural Resources Technician was budgeted for $56,500 in 2017,
understanding that a portion of these duties would be passed on to this new Engineer.
There is enough work for this position where the city would indeed experience cost savings by
hiring an internal staff member that would perform more of this work, streamlining the work
and providing better customer service as result of being within our office. My recommendation
is to fund this position 20% out of the Natural Resources Fund and 80% out of the Surface
Water Fund.
Please let me know if any questions and your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Unallocated - This division accounts for items that cannot be specifically assigned to
specific departments or divisions. Included in this division is the city's contingency
allotment of $110,000.
All other departments/divisions are within +/-10% of the September 30, 2017 target
date.
Ice arena revenues are at $407,751 through September 30, which is approximately $192,000
greater than this same time last year. Ice rental revenues are expected to begin ramping up as
the association hockey season has already started and will be in full operation by the end of
October.
Ice arena expenditures are remaining steady from month-to-month. As previously mentioned
we are monitoring the utility costs, as the gas and electric charges are more than originally
anticipated. The ice arena should recognize a savings in part-time salaries that will offset the
utility variance.
Community center revenues surpassed the 2017 budget back in August. We are still
anticipating a significant number of new and renewing memberships between now and the
end of the calendar year.
