a.Moved from 10b, Revised: North Hennepin Pioneer Society Request for Assistance – Burschville
School
City Clerk Friedrich noted Bonnie Maue, President of the North Hennepin Pioneer Society is present for
Council questions, and City Clerk Friedrich outlined the current request for repair assistance to the
Burschville School in 2024. City Clerk Friedrich noted a correction to the staff report regarding monetary
assistance from the City in 2016 and clarified the assistance was for building repairs and repainting, not for
reroofing. City Clerk noted funding from the Lawful Gambling Fund was utilized to support the 2016
building repair and repainting. City Clerk Friedrich noted an additional forthcoming request for assistance in
2025 for reroofing the school facility. City Clerk Friedrich noted State Statute allows local governments to
allocate General Funds, based on a percentage of property value and other criteria, for historical buildings
within the City and approved by the Historical Society of Minnesota, to assist with necessary repairs and
maintenance.
North Hennepin Pioneer Society President Bonnie Maue noted the Burschville School became an historic
site in 2018 and is now a national site registered with the Minnesota Historical Society. Ms. Maue noted the
North Hennepin Pioneer Society has owned and operated the facility since the school closed in 1967 and
noted the annual SummerFest fundraiser raises most of the funds for the school’s annual expenses. Ms.
Maue outlined the need for assistance and noted the project includes stabilizing and steel bracing an old
foundation of the school and adding a cement walkway. Ms. Maue noted the local St. John’s school has
been participating in field trips to the Burschville School for about 25 years. Ms. Maue noted the school
was built in 1894, with resident Danny Lang petitioning in 1986 to keep the school in its present location
and allowing the school to be included on the Minnesota Historical Society’s list of registered, historical
properties. Ms. Maue noted any repairs to the structure need to comply with code and Minnesota Historical
Society requirements.
Council discussed budget expenditures of the school. North Hennepin Pioneer Society President Maue
noted expenses for electricity, mowing, and insurance are approximately $5,000 per year and funds are
raised for the expenditures through the annual SummerFest event at the school each August. Council
noted the value the Burschville School brings to the community and support of the school repairs. Council
and staff discussed previous use examples funded by the Lawful Gambling Fund, and other possible viable
uses of lawful gambling monies proceeds. City Administrator Tobin noted the addition to the packet item of
the City ordinance established in 2016 and amended in 2018 clarifying the intended uses and eligibility

Burschville School.
Voting Aye: McKee, Nichols, Schultz, and Vehrenkamp
(Motion carried 4:0)
Jan Stieg, 19320 Stieg Road, Corcoran, thanked Council for their support of the Burschville School.
Council noted scheduling a future work session to review how Gambling Funds can be utilized.
b.Moved from 9a, Draft Update: 2022 Audit
City Administrator Tobin reviewed the status of 2022 Audit, and noted the audit delay challenges due to
personnel changes in the City Administrator and Finance Manager roles. City Administrator Tobin noted
three material weaknesses in the audit results, and noted staff recognized the areas and has been working
to resolve the result findings. City Administrator Tobin noted the final audit presentation will be presented
to Council at the January 25 Council meeting by Abdo.
MOTION: made by Schultz, seconded by Vehrenkamp to accept, and submit the Draft 2022 Audit as
presented and released to Moody’s by January 12, and receive the final 2022 audit results at the January
25, 2024, Council meeting.

City Administrator Tobin reviewed the change in current weather conditions related to making ice for the
ice rinks, the options regarding the operation of the ice rinks and warming house for the remainder of the
winter season and noted dependence on weather conditions in keeping the ice rinks open. City
Administration Tobin noted lack of sufficient staffing, utilizing the warming house with a consideration to

utilize a percentage of General Funds based on a percentage of property value and other criteria. North
Pioneer Society President Bonnie Maue outlined the need for assistance and noted the project includes
stabilizing an old foundation of the school and adding a cement walkway.
Council discussed budget expenditures of the school. North Pioneer Society President Maue noted
expenses for electricity, mowing, and insurance are approximately $5,000 per year and funds are raised
for the expenditures through the annual SummerFest event at the school each August. Council noted the
value the Burschville School brings to the community and support of the school repairs.

foundation repair of the Burschville School in the amount not to exceed $15,000.

RE: 2024 Community Project Funding – County Road 19 Intersections in Hanover
Honorable Congressman Tom Emmer,
Please receive this letter as an indication of support for much needed safety updates to intersections of County
Road 19 through the City of Hanover. Improvement of intersections with Hennepin County 117/203 and
Hennepin County 123 will be of regional benefit for residents, commuters, business traffic and pedestrian users
of regional park and trails from throughout our growing communities. Recent major accidents with injuries
during the 2022 holiday season have only increased concerns for safety, navigability and function for the
strange and dangerous intersections.
CSAH 19 is an important north-south corridor through growing 6th District Wright County communities of
Otsego, Albertville, St. Michael and Hanover. Significant growth in all of these communities as well as
communities south and east has caused concerns for worsening safety conditions for our residents commuting
daily through County 19. Upgrades are needed to the County 19 intersections with Hennepin County 117/203
next to the regional Crow Hassan Park, and at the nearby intersection with Hennepin County 123. Solutions
have been identified by engineers including roundabouts at each intersection, but funding is not available
through the County or other sources for the necessary improvements.
The City of Corcoran supports the City of Hanover’s application for Community Project Funding through the
House of Representatives and appreciates your support in helping to get this project completed.
Sincerely,
Tom McKee
Mayor
City of Corcoran

City Council Meeting:
January 25, 2024
Prepared By:
Natalie Davis McKeown
Topic:
Minks Addition
Preliminary Plat, Variance, and Final Plat
(PID 27-119-23-43-0005 and 27-119-23-43-0006)
(City File No. 23-025)
Action Required:
Approval
Review Deadline: March 6,
2024
1.Application Request
The applicant, Lyndon Minks,
requests approval of a
preliminary plat application for
“Minks Addition,” which adjusts
the shared western lot line
between two lots at 6925 Old
Settlers Road and 7005 Old
Settlers Road. The request
includes a variance to allow a
reduced lot width as measured
at the front lot line for 6925 Old
Settlers Road.
2. Background
The applicant owns both 6925 Old
Settlers Road and 7005 Old Settlers
Road. These properties were originally
divided in 1987 through a subdivision
process. This process was not handled
through a formal plat or Registered Land
Survey. This division allowed the
applicant to carve off roughly 6 acres for
the purpose of building a single-family
home on 6925 Old Settlers Road. The
exhibit from the original subdivision is
attached to this report.
Figure 1 Site Location Map
Figure 2 1987 Subdivision Exhibit
Page 2 of 12
3.Planning Commission Review
The Planning Commission held a public hearing for this item during a regularly
scheduled meeting on January 4, 2024. No comments were made during the public
hearing or submitted to the City in writing. The Planning Commission unanimously (3-0;
Commissioner Lanterman and Commissioner Lind absent) recommended approval of
the preliminary plat and variance application.
It was clarified during the Planning Commission meeting that the applicant intends to
continue farming 7005 Old Settlers Road for the foreseeable future. With this in mind,
staff discussed options with the applicant to maintain tillable acreage for this parcel as
establishing wetland buffers will likely sacrifice tillable acreage. The applicant submitted
a revised preliminary and final plat to the City on January 19, 2024 that changes what
was previously shown as Lot 1 Outlot A and Lot 2 (the residential lot) is now Lot 1. This
will allow the establishment of wetland buffers and monuments to be deferred on the
farmed property to when Outlot A is either re-platted to build a single-family home or
subdivided further using the available development rights. This approach seems
consistent with the Planning Commission discussion and recommendation. The
enclosed preliminary plat, final plat, and approving resolutions address this change.
4. Context
Zoning and Land Use
The two existing parcels are located in the Rural Residential (RR) zoning district, and
the Comprehensive Plan designates the site as Rural/Ag Residential. The properties
are not located within the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA).
Surrounding Properties
All surrounding properties are located within the RR district, designated as Rural/Ag
Residential, and outside of the MUSA. The present land uses on all surrounding
properties include single-family residential and agricultural uses.
Natural Characteristics of the Site
Page 3 of 12
The City’s Natural Resource Inventory Areas map shows a high-quality natural
community of Maple/Basswood on both properties. A wetland delineation confirmed the
boundaries of one large wetland in the southwest portion of Lot 1. Four smaller
wetlands were identified throughout Lot 2. None of these wetlands are classified on the
City’s Natural Resources Community Quality Ranking Map. The City assumes wetlands
not classified on this map to be of medium quality. However, there is a MNRAM process
with the State of MN the applicant can pursue to confirm the quality of the wetlands.
5. Analysis
Staff reviewed the application for consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and City Code requirements, as well as City
policies. The City Engineer’s comments are incorporated into this staff report, the
detailed comments are included in the attached engineering memo and the approval
conditions require compliance with the memo.
A.Level of City Discretion in Decision-Making
The City’s discretion in approving a preliminary plat is limited to whether the proposed
plat meets the standards outlined in the City’s subdivision and zoning ordinances. If the
proposed subdivision meets these standards, the City must approve the preliminary
plat. The Planning Commission may choose to discuss whether they agree with staff’s
analysis that the preliminary plat is consistent with ordinance standards. Should the
Commission find that the preliminary plat does not comply with the City’s ordinance
standards, conditions for preliminary approval can be recommended by the
Commission. If the Commission recommends denial, findings of fact should be
provided.
The City has a higher discretion with a variance because the burden of proof is on the
applicant to show that the variance standards have been met. Conditions can be
Figure 3 Natural Resources Community Quality Ranking Map
Page 4 of 12
applied to mitigate the impact of granting the variance.
The City’s discretion in approving a final plat is limited to whether the plat is consistent
with the preliminary plat.
B.Consistency with Ordinance Standards
Preliminary Plat
Lot line adjustments are allowed without platting if the standards in Section 926, Subd. 1
of the City Code are met. Section 926, Subd. 1(C) includes the requirement that the
affected lots be a part of a previously recorded plat or Registered Land Survey. This
standard was not satisfied with the two existing lots. Theoretically, a minor subdivision
could be processed when a lot line adjustment between two lots cannot be processed
due to not satisfying this standard. However, per the standards for a Minor Subdivision
in Section 927, Subd. 1(C), the resulting lots must meet the minimum dimensional
requirement for the zoning district in which the property is located. The front lot width for
Lot 1 is 26’ where 200’ is required. Since the proposed plat does not meet the minimum
dimensional requirements to allow a minor subdivision, the change in lot lines must be
processed as a preliminary plat with a variance.
Lot Size
A comparison of the RR district standards and the proposed lot dimensions are
reflected in the table below.
RR District
Minimum
Outlot A Lot 1
Lot area 2 acres 13.08 acres 8.71 acres
Lot width* 200 feet 311 feet 26 feet
Lot depth 300 feet 822 feet 870.50 feet
Figure 4 Minks Addition Preliminary Plat
Page 5 of 12
* As measured at the front lot line. Also referred to as “street frontage”.
Outlot A complies with the RR district standards. Lot 1 does not comply with the
minimum lot width standard for the RR district. While the lot lines could be rearranged to
further comply with the lot width requirement, there is not enough frontage between the
two properties for each parcel to meet the minimum lot width requirement. Therefore,
the applicant proposes keeping the street frontage as is. This must be memorialized as
a variance; the variance request is analyzed further later in this report.
Setbacks
The minimum setbacks for the RR district are detailed in the table below:
Minimum Principal
Structure Setback
Minimum Accessory
Structure Setback
Front (All Other Roads) 50 feet 50 feet
Side 25 feet 20 feet
Rear 25 feet 15 feet
The existing home and all existing accessory buildings more than exceed the required
front, side, and rear setbacks.
Development Rights
The current Development Rights Map reflects 2 property rights on 7005 Old Settlers
Road based on the lot area of 15.89-acres. In the 1990s, a reset of the Development
Rights program occurred which assigned 1 development right for every 10 acres, and
this is rounded up in favor of property owners. There is an implied development right on
the residential lot which is exhausted with the existing house. Even though the acreage
is being rearranged between the two properties and 7005 Old Settlers Road will now be
less than 15 acres, staff do not propose eliminating a development right since a new lot
is not being created. The enclosed resolutions confirm that 2 development rights remain
on Outlot A.
Figure 5 Development Rights Map
Page 6 of 12
Accessory Structures
Section 1030.020 provides that a principal structure must be constructed prior to an
accessory structure. Additionally, Subd. 4 of the same section limits accessory structure
footprint based on the acreage of the site. Properties are allowed one structure not
exceeding 200 square feet to be considered exempt from the footprint calculation.
Additionally, the first 1,000 square feet of attached accessory structure space is
considered exempt from the footprint calculations.
Outlot A has a shed of roughly 3,800 square feet with no other structures on the
property. Sheds are considered accessory structures. Based on aerial views of the
property, the presence of the accessory structure without a principal structure is
considered a legal, non-conforming use as it pre-dates the prevailing Zoning Ordinance.
An additional variance is not required because the change in lot lines and legal
description to an outlot does not create the non-conformity, and the proposed changes
cannot minimize the extent of the non-conformity. A property of more than 10 acres is
allowed an accessory structure footprint of 3,969 square feet by right. The structure on
the property complies with the footprint limit.
Based on the provided survey, Lot 1 has a principal structure (i.e., the house) and an
estimated accessory structure footprint of less than 3,000 square feet. The proposed
acreage for the site would allow a footprint of up to 3,594 square feet. The proposed
plat complies with this standard.
Streets and Access
No new streets are proposed. However, road right-of-way (ROW) for Old Settlers Road
must be dedicated as a requirement of the plat. As a collector roadway, a 40’ half ROW
is shown on the plat as required by the City Engineer’s Memo.
Both properties will continue to have direct access to Old Settlers Road. The provided
survey shows that a portion of the driveway for Lot 1 was constructed over the shared
northern lot line and encroaches on to Outlot A. This appears to have been a mistake as
this was not addressed in the approvals from 1987 or the existing Driveway Agreement
for this property, both enclosed with this report. Staff provided the applicant with the
following options to resolve the driveway encroachment on to Outlot A:
1.Correct the driveway so that it is entirely contained within Lot 1.
a.A Site Improvement Performance Agreement (SIPA) will be needed
with a security for the value of the estimated work required to relocate
the driveway.
b.Additionally, since the driveway will be located within a drainage and
utility easement (D&U), an encroachment agreement with the City is
required.
Page 7 of 12
i.City staff do not believe the private drive agreement addresses
encroachment into D&Us as D&Us did not appear to be
established with the subdivision in 1987.
2.Adjust the shared northern lot line further to the north to have the driveway
entirely contained within Lot 1.
a.This would arguably decrease the existing non-conformity of the lot
width and reduce the extent of the variance being requested without
creating a new nonconformity within Outlot A.
b.Preliminary plat must be revised with this option.
c.It appears an encroachment agreement with the City will still be
required in this instance due to the existing location of the driveway in
relation to the non-common lot boundaries.
3.Prepare and record a private easement between the two properties to
formalize the encroachment.
a.While a formal encroachment agreement may not be necessary with
the current property owners, it will protect the interests of future
property owners should either or both of the two properties be sold to
unrelated properties in the future.
b.Additionally, an encroachment agreement with the City will still be
required.
The Planning Commission agreed with the staff recommendation to provide the
applicant with options to bring the driveway into compliance. Since the Planning
Commission meeting, the applicant shared with staff his preference to proceed with the
third option to prepare and record a private easement between the two properties to
formalize the encroachment. The preliminary plat has been updated to show this private
easement. The enclosed preliminary plat resolution has been updated to reflect the
applicant’s preferred method to address the driveway encroachment.
Perimeter Drainage and Utility Easements
The preliminary plat reflects a 10’ perimeter D&U for both lots. This complies with City
standards. D&Us were not established with the original subdivision in 1987, so it does
not appear that an easement vacation must be processed for pre-existing D&Us.
Well and Septic
Outlot A has an existing well shown on the property. No septic is shown. However,
given the size of the property, there is likely a viable septic location should a home be
placed on the property in the future. Should the current landowner or a future landowner
plan to construct a single-family home on Outlot A, a new plat will be required to change
the legal description from an outlot to a lot, and approval of the septic location must be
provided by Hennepin County prior to issuance of a building permit. Lot 1 has an
existing septic site and well to serve the property.
Wetlands
Page 8 of 12
A wetland delineation was finalized in September of 2023. Five wetlands were identified
between the two properties. These are assumed to be medium quality wetlands. With
the change in lot lines, the delineated medium-quality wetlands are required to be
protected by a vegetated buffer and wetland buffer monuments must be installed as
required in the Wetlands Overlay District (Section 1050.010 of the Zoning Ordinance).
D&U easements must be placed over the identified wetlands and buffers; this is
confirmed in the Engineering Memo. Medium quality wetlands must have an average
wetland buffer width of 25’ (no wider than 40’ and no less than 20’ for the purposes of
calculating the average) and a structure setback of 15’ must be applied. It appears this
will not conflict with any existing structures on the sites.
As noted previously in this report, it was clarified during the Planning Commission
meeting that the applicant intends to continue farming Outlot A for the foreseeable
future. D&U easements will still be required over the delineated boundaries of the
wetlands on the farmed lot, but establishment of wetland buffers and monuments on
Outlot A will be deferred to when the outlot is either re-platted to build a single-family
home or subdivided further using the available development rights. This approach
seems consistent with the Planning Commission discussion and recommendation. The
attached preliminary plat and Resolution 2024-06 addresses these changes.
The wetland buffers and buffer monument signs will be required for Lot 1. The
preliminary plat has been revised since the Planning Commission meeting to show the
required wetland buffers and buffer signs. Additionally, D&U easements are shown over
the wetland and wetland buffers for the residential property.
Landscaping
A landscape plan is not required since this plat involves less than 4 residential units. Per
Section 1060.070, a minimum of one overstory tree must be provided per dwelling unit.
Since no new lots are being created with this plat, staff believes no additional trees are
required at this time. Should future subdivision occur, additional trees would be required
at that time.
Park Dedication
Section 955.020 of the Subdivision Ordinance states, “Park Dedication is only due in
cases where additional new parcels are created.” Since this preliminary plat is a lot line
adjustment, no new lots are created. Therefore, park dedication is not due. Should
subdivision occur on the northern property in the future, park dedication would become
due for any newly created lots.
Variance
The applicant requests a variance to allow a minimum lot width of 26’ for Lot 1 where a
minimum of 200’ is required. It is important to clarify that the lot width requirement is
also referred to as the minimum street frontage requirement; this is because lot width is
measured at the front lot line. Section 1070.040 provides the standards to review
Page 9 of 12
variance requests. The applicant must show that the following standards are satisfied
with their request:
1.That there are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance.
The League of MN Cities defines a three-factor test for the term “practical difficulties”:
a.The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
otherwise allowed by the zoning ordinance.
b.The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property
and not created by the landowner; and
c.The variance will not alter the essential character of the locality.
Section 1070.040, Subd. 2(B) of the Zoning Ordinance specifically calls out the last two
factors as their own standards and will be discussed individually. Therefore, this first
standard can focus on evaluating the “reasonableness” of the request.
The applicant’s narrative provides that the variance will allow the applicant to add 2.6
acres along the shared western lot boundary, which will not create any new
nonconformities while allowing for all backyard improvements to be fully encompassed
within the residential lot. Additionally, the combined street frontage is approximately
335’. There is no way for both properties to comply with the minimum street frontage
requirement. The lot width of 26’ for Lot 1 is an existing legal nonconformity, and the
combined street frontage is not changing.
2.That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique
to the parcel of land for which the variance is sought and were not created by
the landowner.
These two properties were originally subdivided in 1987 by the landowner. It was
unanticipated at that time that the City’s zoning requirements for minimum lot width
would change to prevent “flag lots”. The fact that there is not 400’ of street frontage
between the two properties was not a condition created by the landowner and is a fairly
unique constraint of the plat.
3.That the granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the
locality.
Granting variance for the reduced lot width of Lot 1 will not alter the essential character
of the locality as it has already existed since 1987. Additionally, there are other flag lots
in the City that were created prior to the current Zoning Ordinance and still exist today.
4.The proposed variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and
intent of the Ordinance.
It is unclear exactly why the City of Corcoran adopted a minimum lot width of 200’, but it
is assumed to be a way to ensure sufficient street frontage, control density along public
streets, and protect property values (as flag lots can have less “curb appeal”).
Page 10 of 12
Additionally, Section 1010.020 of Zoning Ordinance lists 12 purposes and intents of the
Ordinance in general, including the following purposes most relevant to this application:
1.Protecting the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, and
general welfare.
2.Facilitating adequate provisions for transportation, water, sewage, schools,
parks, and other public requirements.
3.Conserving natural resources and maintaining a high standard of
environmental quality.
4.Conserving the natural, scenic beauty, rural character, and attractiveness of
the Corcoran countryside.
Lot 1 will continue to have the same amount of street frontage as the property has
today. The variance will allow for a larger parcel to be created which will arguably not
conflict with the City’s density requirements in the RR and should not negatively impact
property values in the immediate vicinity. It does not appear that granting the variance
will conflict with the general purposes of the intent of the Ordinance.
5.The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The applicant’s narrative explains he is not changing the land use of the properties. His
proposal results in two lots of 8.71 acres and 13.08 acres. These large lots are
consistent with the Rural/Ag Residential land use category of the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan which specifically lists large residential lots as a planned feature of the area.
Conditions of Approval
Section 1070.040 provides that the City may impose conditions on the variance to
address the impact of the variance. The Planning Commission did not recommend any
conditions of approval. Theoretically, the shared northern property line could be
adjusted further north to fully encompass the driveway as a way to minimize the
permanent protection granted to the nonconformity through approval of the variance.
However, the applicant prefers to address the driveway encroachment between Lot 1
and Outlot A as a private easement between the two properties. The enclosed
resolution for the variance does not propose any conditions of approval.
Final Plat
Staff reviewed the final plat application for consistency with the preliminary plat, as well
as City policies. The City Engineer’s Memo dated 12/21/2023 included review of the
final plat. Compliance with this memo is required as a condition of approval in the final
plat resolution.
Accessory Structure
The accessory structure on what will become Outlot A will be allowed to remain as an
existing legal, nonconformity. The applicant will be able to maintain this structure in
compliance with the City’s regulations for nonconforming uses and structures. However,
Page 11 of 12
no other structures can be built on Outlot A without re-platting the property. Additionally,
when Outlot A is re-platted, a single-family home must be constructed on the same lot
as the accessory structure. In other words, the applicant cannot subdivide the outlot into
two with a house on one lot and the existing accessory structure on another lot without
plans to construct a residence or kept as an outlot.
Wetlands
As a condition of approval in the final plat resolution, the escrow account on file with the
City will not be closed out until the wetland buffer monument signs are installed per City
specifications. A registered surveyor must provide certification that the wetland buffer
monument signs are installed as indicated on the preliminary plat.
Streets and Access
The final plat has been revised to reflect a 40’ half ROW as a requirement of the final
plat resolution and Engineering Memo.
The driveway for the residential lot does encroach on to the farmed lot. The applicant
shared their intention with staff to address the driveway encroachment through a private
encroachment agreement between the two properties. This agreement must be
submitted to the City Attorney for review and approval. Additionally, since the driveway
will be located within a D&U, an encroachment agreement with the City is required. The
final plat resolution reflects this preference.
Park Dedication
There are two parcels today, and this plat results in two parcels. Therefore, no park
dedication is due with this application. Since the property owner will be platting the
northern property as an outlot, it should be clearly noted that should the property be re-
platted as a single lot in the future, no park dedication would be due at that time either.
However, should the outlot be further subdivided, then park dedication will become due
on any newly created parcels.
Summary
Staff find that the proposed preliminary plat, variance, and final plat are generally
consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Subdivision Ordinance, and Zoning
Ordinance. The enclosed resolutions approve the preliminary plat, variance, and final
plat with conditions.

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat and variance at a duly called

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission recommended approval, and;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Corcoran City Council approves the request for a
preliminary and variance subject to the following findings and conditions:
1.A preliminary plat is approved, in accordance with the plans received by the City on
November 7, 2023, and January 19, 2024, except as amended by this resolution.
2.The requested variance from the lot width requirement to allow a minimum lot width of 26’
for Lot 1 is approved based on the following findings:
a.That there are practical difficulties in complying with the Zoning Ordinance. The lot
width of Lot 1 is an existing legal nonconformity, and the combined street frontage
of the two lots is not changing. There is practical difficulty in complying with the
zoning ordinance because it is not possible for both lots to meet the minimum lot
width requirement. Adjusting the western common lot line will not increase the
nonconformity of the lot width for Lot 1.
b.That the conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the
parcels of land for which the variance is sought and were not created by the
landowners. The current minimum lot width requirement for which the variance is
being sought was established after the two properties were originally subdivided.
The combined street frontage of 335’ existed prior to the subdivision in 1987 and
was not created by the current landowner.
c.That the granting of the variation will not alter the essential character of the locality.
The proposed lots are being created where two lots already exist. No new lots are
being created, and the minimum lot width will be no less than it exists today. There

are other lots in the surrounding areas that do not meet the minimum lot width
requirement of the Rural Residential district.
d.The proposed variance would be in harmony with the general purposes and intent
of the ordinance. The intent of the minimum lot width requirement is to ensure
street frontage for every property, control density, and protect property rights.
Granting the variance does not conflict with these intents, nor does it conflict with
the general intents and purposes of the Zoning Ordinance as provided in Section
1010.020.
e.The variance is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and maintains the
Rural/Ag Residential land use designation.
3.The applicant must comply with all conditions in the City Engineer’s Memo dated
December 21, 2023. Where there is conflict between the wetland related requirements
within the Engineer’s Memo and this Resolution, this Resolution prevails.
4.There are two development rights remaining on Outlot A.
5.The existing legal, nonconforming accessory structure will be allowed to remain on Outlot
A. The building can be maintained in accordance with the City’s nonconforming structure
and use regulations in Section 1030.010 of the Zoning Ordinance.
6.No other structures can be built on Outlot A until a new plat changes the property to a
platted lot of record.
7. Should Outlot A be platted as a lot or subdivided in the future, a single-family home must
be constructed on the same parcel as the existing accessory structure. The existing
accessory structure cannot remain in an outlot or on a lot by itself should Outlot A be
further subdivided.
8. Should Outlot A be platted as a lot or subdivided in the future, septic system permits must
be approved through Hennepin County and submitted to the City.
9.The applicant must prepare a private easement agreement between Lot 1 and Outlot A to
address the driveway encroachment on to Outlot A. The agreement must be reviewed and
approved by the City Attorney and recorded at Hennepin County.
10.The applicant must enter into an encroachment agreement with the City to address the
location of the driveway for Lot 1 within drainage and utility easements. This must be
recorded at Hennepin County.
11.The applicant must meet the following wetland requirements of Section 1050.010 of the
Zoning Ordinance:
a. The wetland buffers and monument signs are deferred on Outlot A until the
property is platted as a lot or further subdivided.

c.Wetland buffer monument signs must be installed according to the approved plan
and must be certified by a registered land surveyor prior to release of the escrow
account.
i.Wetland buffer monument signs must be purchased from the City.
ii.Wetland buffer monument signs must be installed on a treated 4x4 wooden
post.
12.Park dedication is not due with this plat as there are no newly created parcels. Should
Outlot A be platted in the future as a single lot, no park dedication would be due at that
time either. However, should Outlot A be further subdivided, any newly created parcel
would be subject to park dedication.
13.Additional landscaping is not required for this plat as there are no newly created parcels.
Should Outlot A be platted in the future as a single lot, new landscaping would not be
required at that time either. However, should Outlot A be further subdivided, any newly
created parcel would be subject to landscaping requirements at that time.
14.Approval of the preliminary plat shall expire within one year of the date of approval unless
the applicant has filed a complete application for approval of a final plat.

Recruitment and Retention Policy and
Procedures
Action Required
Approve Policy
Summary
The City of Corcoran recognizes the mental and physical stressors faced by municipal
employees and the scarcity of qualified personnel in present labor markets to fill these
unique positions. Some municipalities have implemented bonus programs as a
transactional solution to recruit and retain staff. Instead, Corcoran chooses a
transformational approach by providing staff with an opportunity to claim
reimbursement for up to $1,500 annually to support the pursuit of personally
meaningful opportunities for mental, physical, emotional, or relational wellbeing in a
given calendar year. By investing in our staff this way, Corcoran will recruit and retain
a happier and healthier qualified workforce which can more effectively deliver services
to the community.
Staff recommends making reimbursement available immediately for any
qualifying expenses incurred in the 2024 calendar year.
Financial/Budget
The 2024 Budget was approved by the City Council on 12/18/23 with $1,500 allocated
per each non-Police Officer permanent full-time employee (totaling $40,500.00).

Approve Policy
Summary
The City Administrator requested to meet with all employees who have needed approval to
work remotely to better understand the scope of Corcoran Employee current practice and
need for remote work. Employees then emailed a recap of those meetings to the City
Administrator and Human Resources (Administrative Services Director) to capture present
informal agreements to have them added to employee personnel files until a policy could be
developed.
The proposed policy appropriately captures the scope of remote work needs and clarifies
procedures to protect the interests of the city and our employees. It is a modification of a
practice tested and proven in another city (Shakopee). Employees were sent a copy of the
DRAFT Remote Work Policy and Procedures on Tuesday January 16, 2024, with a request
for feedback. Only positive feedback has been received from staff.
The policy would become effective immediately.
Recommendation
Approve the Remote Work Policy and Procedures for immediate implementation.
Council Action
Make a motion to approve the Remote Work Policy and Procedures for immediate
implementation.

TIME WORKED .............................................................................................................................................. 4 VIII. AD HOC ARRANGEMENTS ........................................................................................................................ 4
I.PURPOSERemote work allows employees to work at home or other remote locations for an agreed upon period of time. The city of Corcoran considers remote work to be a viable, flexible work option when both the employee and the job are suited to such an arrangement. Remote work may be appropriate for some employees and jobs but not for others. Remote work is not an entitlement, it is not a citywide benefit, and it in no way changes the terms and conditions of employment with the city of Corcoran.
II.PROCEDURESRemote work can be informal, such as working from home for a short-term project or emergency scenarios or a formal, set schedule of working away from the office. Any remote work arrangement made may be discontinued at will and at any time at the request of either the employee or the city. With the exception of short-term, ad hoc arrangements, remote work must be performed within the State of Minnesota.
III.ELIGIBILITYIndividuals requesting formal remote work arrangements must be employed with the city of Corcoran for a minimum of 12 months of continuous, regular employment and must have a satisfactory performance record. During emergency scenarios, the 12-months of employment requirement will be waived.

Before entering into any remote work agreement, the employee and supervisor, with the assistance of the human resource division, will evaluate the suitability of such an arrangement, reviewing the following areas:
• Employee suitability. The employee and supervisor will assess the needs and work habits of the employee, compared to traits customarily recognized as appropriate for successful remote workers.
• Job responsibilities. The employee and supervisor will discuss the job responsibilities and determine if the job is appropriate for a remote working arrangement.
• Equipment needs, workspace design considerations and scheduling issues. The employee and supervisor will review the physical workspace needs and the appropriate location for the remote work. If the employee and supervisor agree, and the human resource division concurs, a remote work agreement will be prepared and signed by the employee, supervisor, and the department head. All agreements are subject to review and approval of the City Administrator (not including ad hoc arrangements). Evaluation of remote work performance will include regular interaction by phone, e-mail or Teams meeting/messaging between the employee and the supervisor, and potentially face-to-face meetings to discuss work progress and problems. Evaluation of remote work performance will be consistent with that received by employees working at the office in both content and frequency. An appropriate level of communication between the remote worker and supervisor will be agreed to as part of the discussion process.
IV. EQUIPMENT On a case-by-case basis, the city of Corcoran will determine, with information supplied by the employee and the supervisor, the appropriate equipment needs (including laptop, monitors, keyboards, and other office equipment) for each remote work arrangement. The human resource and information technology divisions will serve as resources in this matter. Equipment supplied by the organization will be maintained by the organization. Equipment supplied by the employee, if deemed appropriate by the organization, will be maintained by the employee. The city of Corcoran accepts no responsibility for damage or repairs to employee-owned equipment. The city reserves the right to make determinations as to appropriate equipment, subject to change at any time. Equipment supplied by the organization is to be used for business purposes only. The remote worker must sign an inventory of all city property received and agree to take appropriate action to protect the items from damage or theft. Upon termination of employment, all city property will be returned, unless other arrangements have been made.
Page 3 of 5
The employee will establish an appropriate work environment within his or her home for work purposes. Corcoran will not be responsible for costs associated with the setting up of the employee’s home office, such as remodeling, furniture, or lighting, nor for repairs or modifications to the home office space. The city of Corcoran is not responsible for any use, wear and tear, loss or maintenance of employee-owned devices or systems.
V. SECURITY Work done at the remote work site is considered official City business. All City records, papers, and correspondence must be safeguarded and protected from unauthorized use or disclosure. Employees are expected to ensure the protection of information and to adhere to data privacy and records retention laws. Employees must take care to ensure private and/or confidential data is not accessible and that proper methods are used to transmit any private/confidential data electronically. Employees are required to comply with all data security standards established by the City. When assigned to remote work the employee must use an internet connection that is secure and locked to the public. The method of connecting to the City’s network infrastructure must use the IT approved method of remote access and authentication. No remote work will be done on a non-password protected Wi-Fi, or in any public place, or on a public Wi-Fi connection. If the employee has access to confidential information or related infrastructure, then they also need to ensure that their remote work environment complies with security rules related to maintaining the confidentiality of such information. At no time may a computer that is connected remotely to the city network be left unattended without locking the screen. The employee must alert the IT staff if they believe their connection has been compromised in any way. Other security steps include, but are not limited to, the use of locked file cabinets and desks, regular password maintenance, and any other steps appropriate for the job and the environment.
VI. SAFETY The employee agrees to maintain a safe, secure, and ergonomically sound work environment. Injuries sustained by the employee while at their designated remote work location and in conjunction with their regular work duties are normally covered by the City’s workers’ compensation policy. Employees must promptly report work-related injuries to their supervisor at the earliest opportunity. Employees agree to hold the City of Corcoran harmless for injury to others at the remote working location.
Page 4 of 5
Remote working is not designed to be a replacement for appropriate childcare. Although an individual employee’s schedule may be modified to accommodate childcare needs, the focus of the arrangement must remain on job performance and meeting city demands. Employees must coordinate with their supervisor on a schedule that allows them to meet their parental responsibilities in addition to work obligations. This may be different for each employee based on the specifics of their situation. Employees must report any work/childcare scheduling conflicts to their supervisor in advance so schedule adjustments can be considered. Although an individual employee’s schedule may be temporarily modified to accommodate childcare needs, the focus of the remote work arrangement must remain on job performance and meeting City needs. If an employee is not meeting job expectations the employee will no longer be eligible for remote work.
VII. TIME WORKED Remote working employees who are not exempt from the overtime requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act will be required to accurately record all hours worked using the city of Corcoran’s time-keeping system. Hours worked more than those scheduled per day and per workweek require the advance approval of the department’s supervisor. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the immediate termination of the remote work agreement.
VIII. AD HOC ARRANGEMENTS Temporary remote work arrangements may be approved for circumstances such as inclement weather, special projects, or business travel. These arrangements are approved on an as-needed basis only, with no expectation of ongoing continuance. All informal remote work arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis, focusing first on the operational needs of the city of Corcoran

STAFF REPORT Agenda Item: 7l.
Council Meeting
January 25, 2024
Prepared By
Jay Tobin
Topic
Cultural Assessment Proposal
Action Required
Approve Proposal
Summary
The City is creating an opportunity for employees to share feedback regarding their work
environment through a workplace culture assessment. With assistance and the
recommendation of the League of Minnesota Cities, we’ve asked Susan Herreid Ph.D. to
facilitate the process. As a part of this process, staff leader interviews are being scheduled
along with workgroup interviews. The goal is to hear employee perspectives regarding what is
currently working well within the organization as well as any suggestions for improvement.
This is being done as an investment in our employees, to continue to work together on building
a healthy work culture for the future. Every employee is valued for the great work the offer for
the benefit of Corcoran, and we’re committed to continually enhancing the work environment
where time and energy are selflessly invested each day and every week.
Process
The interviews (individual or workgroup) will be confidential and only common issues and
general themes will be included in a summary of themes based on the majority of the
participant’s feedback. Additionally, Susan will also offer recommendations for consideration as
a result of the overall feedback (NOTE: none of the information will be shared in a way that will
identify specific individuals or comments).
Once completed, she will initially review the summary and recommendations with staff leaders
and council. She will then meet with the workgroups without staff leaders in attendance (per the
normal process). After reviewing the themes, Dr. Herreid will ask staff leaders to join the
conversation to discuss the recommendations and propose alternatives for next steps.
Financial/Budget
Phase 1 of the Cultural Assessment is projected to cost $8,165.00 with additional cost
incurred based on any action options the city elects to implement for Phase 2.
Options
1. Approve the Cultural Assessment Proposal.
2. Decline to approve the Cultural Assessment Proposal.
Recommendation
Staff recommend approval of the Cultural Assessment Proposal.
Council Action
Make a motion to approve the Cultural Assessment Proposal.

-Work with identified stakeholders (e.g. Administrator, Assistant Administrator, Department
Head or Director, Supervisor, and/or Human Resources Director) to develop an action plan
-Share the themes with management personnel and discuss tentative next steps
-Meet with the staff interview participants to review assessment themes and discuss the next
steps

perspectives regarding the workplace relationship with the other party or parties. They will
discuss various issues and contributing factors that impact their communication, collaboration,
and professional trust. etc. A joint resolution discussion will be scheduled and the Consultant will
facilitate a conversation that focuses on the identified issues and action items to bring about
resolution and a more proactive working relationship. Specific work steps in this resolution
process include the following:
- Schedule planning discussion with the identified stakeholder(s) to discuss the conflict
- resolution process
- Conduct individual interviews with the resolution participants
- The consultant will compile themes and discussion topics and plan for a resolution session
- The consultant will facilitate a resolution session, often scheduled within a short time frame
after the initial interviews, to resolve and identify agreed-upon action items that will be
outlined in a resolution summary
- Present the summary to the resolution participants via email for their review and to
ensure an accurate reflection of their conversation and outcomes
- Make minor revisions as needed to the resolution document and share the final version of the
resolution summary with the identified stakeholder(s) for onsite support and accountability.
Page 3
Follow-up Resolution Session
A follow-up session is often recommended within 6-8 weeks to discuss the participant’s efforts.
The follow-up allows the participants to identify successes as well as any other issues that may
have come up since their initial conversation. The follow-up also provides the opportunity to
discuss both parties' ongoing efforts, additional strategies, and/or skill development needs as
well as any other resources that might be beneficial.
Leadership Coaching and Consultation
* Similar services can also be offered to an employee
Leadership Coaching:
This process includes meeting with the identified stakeholders to discuss coaching goals and
objectives. This information would be used in creating a documented coaching plan that would
include updates after each coaching session. This information would be reviewed with the
stakeholders during status conversations.
Introductory Conversations:
An initial introductory coaching conversation is recommended with Dr. Herreid to discuss the
process, identify goals and objectives, clarify expectations, answer any questions, and the
parameters of confidentiality. After the initial conversation, Dr. Herreid would request to set up
an initial coaching session (within several weeks of the introductory discussion).
Stakeholder Status Session and Coaching Plan:
After the third coaching session, Dr. Herreid will request a status conversation with the identified
stakeholders. She would review the status of the coaching process to date. This would include
identifying strengths, insights, and feedback about the engagement and initiative demonstrated
by the coaching participant. It is important to clarify that specific discussions or comments will
not be shared due to the confidentiality of the coaching interactions. Dr. Herreid will create a
high-level coaching plan that will outline the topics and issues discussed to date.
- If for any reason there are concerns about the progress and/or efforts of the coaching participant these
issues will be addressed during the initial status meeting. Dr. Herreid would talk with stakeholders about
the benefits of continuing the process and/or other possible next steps dependent on the participant's
progress.
It is recommended that the initial three coaching sessions be conducted within approximately 2-
3 weeks of one other. After the third session, there would be a plan for the frequency going
forward (generally over a 3-6 month period of time). As a part of the coaching process, Dr.
Herreid may request that the participant do some additional work to supplement the coaching
conversations, such as recommended readings, books or audiobooks, or other assignments that
will require minimal time but will promote self-reflection, awareness, and continued professional
growth.
Coaching Support:
Throughout the process, the participant is encouraged to contact Dr. Herreid at any time to
process a situation, discuss a specific issue, or problem-solve. To be clear, guidance or
recommendations will be focused primarily on behaviors such as coping strategies, effective
communication, and style of delivery related to conflict resolution, performance management,
etc. The coaching participant is always encouraged to share information with their direct
supervisor for on-site support, guidance, and helpful feedback.
Page 4
Additional Coaching Sessions:
Once a plan for additional coaching work has been agreed upon it is generally recommended
that Dr. Herreid and the participant schedule several meetings over a several month period of
time. This plan would be approved by the stakeholders at a status session.
Additionally, Dr. Herreid would identify any additional training or professional development
resources that would be beneficial for the coaching participant and help to further enhance
their supervisory and leadership skills.
Final meeting with Stakeholders to
•Identify future needs and/or strategic Intent and define ongoing objectives
•Provide final coaching document
Work Session/Team Training
*This can include a variety of current or training created for a specific situation
*Additional assessment tools can be referred to the appropriate trainer or certified facilitator for
a variety of assessment tools
Post-Investigation Support
Work with a team or group after the completion of an investigation. This process would help the
participants to focus on resolving issues and moving forward.

City Council Meeting:
January 25, 2024
Prepared By:
Natalie Davis McKeown
Topic:
Development Review Process
Action Required:
No Action Required - Informational Only
1.Background:
The City Council requested staff outline the City’s development review process.
2. Analysis
The development process in the City is outlined in the City Code and is largely based on
the statutory limitations provided by the State. Attached to this report is a newly drafted
flowchart that summarizes the process. The flowchart is still a draft, but it can be
improved upon to post on the City’s website as well as provide as a handout to potential
applicants and developers going forward. This staff report is meant to provide a bit more
context for each step. It is important to note that the staff report and flow chart are
meant to provide a general expectation of the process. However, there can be some
deviation based on the complexities of a specific development proposal.
The key steps in the Corcoran development process are as follows:
A.General Information Gathering
At the very beginning of the process, potential applicants and developers are
welcome to reach out to City staff to get general zoning, land use, and utility
information on a specific site to understand development options.
B.Pre-Application Meeting
Potential applicants and developers are highly encouraged to set up a
meeting with City staff and consultants that make up the staff level
Development Review Committee (DRC) to further discuss the specifics of a
proposal. Staff will further discuss the proposed project and impacts as it
relates to zoning, land use, and public utility and roadway infrastructure. Staff
helps to identify the required application type(s) for the proposal as well as
identify additional pre-application processes that must be completed.
The first hour of meeting with staff and consultants is “free” as it is considered
to be built into the application fees. However, the fee schedule calls for a
$500 pre-application escrow deposit to be submitted after this first hour if
additional meetings are requested prior to submittal of a concept plan or
Page 2 of 8
formal application. Applicants are provided with the land use application form,
application calendars (with application deadlines and anticipated meeting
dates), fee schedule, and checklists of required materials specific to the
application type(s). This information is also available online and at City Hall.
C. Pre-Application Processes
Many applications require processes that need to be completed prior to
submitting a formal land use application for City approval.
i. Concept Plan
Certain applications such as Open Space & Preservation (OS&P)
Plats, Planned Unit Developments (PUD), or projects requiring an
environmental review require a Concept Plan. Concept Plans are
strongly encouraged for complex applications involving policy,
procedural questions, and/or a high degree of City Council discretion
(such as Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Rezoning, or multiple
Variance requests). Concept Plans typically go to the second City
Council meeting each month and must be submitted at least 30 days
prior to the desired meeting date.
ii. Environmental Review / Feasibility Studies
Some projects are required by State Statute to carry out Environmental
Assessment Worksheets (EAW), Environmental Impact Studies (EIS),
or Alternative Urban Areawide Reviews (AUAR). EAWs are a 6-month
process while EIS and AUARs are a 1-year process. Additionally,
many projects in the City will require an infrastructure feasibility study.
These studies take 4-6 weeks. The City’s engineering firm completes
these reviews at the developer’s expense, and an escrow deposit is
required which is based on the scope of the project.
iii. Neighborhood Meetings
The City recently adopted a new Planned Unit Development (PUD)
ordinance that requires a developer-hosted neighborhood meeting to
discuss the proposed project. This occurs after the Concept Plan
review by City Council, but prior to submittal of a formal preliminary
application. Properties within 500’ of the proposed project boundaries
must be mailed an invitation to the neighborhood meeting.
iv. Wetland Delineation
Page 3 of 8
Wetland delineations don’t quite fall under a pre-application process as
not all wetland delineations are associated with a development
application. Sometimes wetland delineations are handled as a
condition of approval. However, most land use applications and
building permits require a wetland delineation certification. This is a
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) process which
is implemented by the City as the Local Government Unit (LGU).
Wetland delineations are completed during the plant growing seasons,
as such they are typically performed between April-October. Finalizing
the wetland delineation takes 30-60 days during the growing season.
D. Submit Formal Land Use Application
The applicant submits a formal land use application for City review and
approval. The review process typically takes 60-120 days from the date a
complete application is received and a final decision from the City Council is
made. For plats and PUDs, a preliminary application must be submitted and
approved before a final application can be reviewed and approved. Final
applications typically are only reviewed by staff and the City Council. Final
applications typically take 30-60 days between submittal of a complete
application and City Council decision.
i. Completeness Review
Staff completes an initial completeness review within 15 business days
of receiving the application submittal. The applicant is sent either a
complete letter or an incomplete letter detailing what is needed to
move forward. The state-mandated review period begins when an
application is deemed complete based on the date of submittal.
Incomplete applications must prepare a re-submittal before the review
period begins and the meetings are scheduled. Applicants will resubmit
plans until the application is deemed complete.
Determination of application completeness is a key step in the review
process and is required by Minnesota State Statutes. The statutes
outline the amount of time cities are allowed to review projects. It is
often referred to as “The 60-day Rule”. This refers to a state law that
requires cities and governmental entities to approve or deny a written
request relating to zoning within 60 days after the application has been
deemed “complete” or the requested is automatically approved. The
purpose of the rule is to keep governmental agencies from taking too
long in deciding land use issues. Minnesota courts generally demand
Page 4 of 8
strict compliance with the rule (MN Statute 462.358, Subd. 3b and MN
Statute 15.99). The law does allow cities to give themselves an
additional 60 days (up to a total of 120 days) to consider an application
if it provides written notice with the reason for the extension. Any
additional extensions must be negotiated with the applicant.
Preliminary and final plats are treated differently from zoning
applications. The City automatically has 120 days to act on a
preliminary plat and 60 days to act on a final plat. If the City does not
act on a preliminary plat within 120 days, the applicant may demand a
certificate of approval and proceed with a final plat application. If the
final plat is consistent with the preliminary plat, the City must approve.
ii. Staff Review
Once an application is considered complete, staff and consultants
complete their review, memorandums, and reports. Additional
meetings and calls with the applicant can occur during this time. The
staff report is made available to the applicant and posted on the City’s
website the Friday before the relevant meeting dates. Administrative
applications, such as administrative permits for Accessory Dwelling
Units, will be approved or denied following the staff review. If an
administrative permit is denied, the decision can be appealed to the
City Council.
iii. Parks and Trails Commission Review
Preliminary plats are reviewed by the Parks and Trails Commission. A
recommendation is forwarded to Council regarding the acceptance of
any park land, trails, and/or cash-in-lieu of land.
iv. Planning Commission
Most land use applications require a public hearing which is held by
the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission completes their
review of the application against the adopted City controls and
forwards a recommendation of approval or denial for the overall
application on to the City Council.
v. City Council Review and Decision
The City Council completes their own review of land use applications
and makes the final decision to approve or deny. Preliminary Plats and
Page 5 of 8
Preliminary PUD plans will require approval of a subsequent Final Plat
and Final PUD plan before the development process can move
forward. Final Plats and Final PUDs Plans in compliance with
preliminary entitlements are only reviewed by City Council. Complex
applications can take more than one meeting before a final decision is
made should more information be requested. Should the City Council
deny an application, a substantially similar application cannot be
reviewed again for at least 6 months per the City Code.
E. Satisfy Conditions of Approval
After a project is approved, the applicant or developer must address any
conditions of approval. These are outlined in the approved resolution adopted
by the City Council. A copy of the resolution is provided to applicants to help
them navigate this phase of the process. Conditions of approval can include
required external agency review, revisions of plans, finalization of
agreements, financial securities, and all projects are required to record
relevant documents against the subject property with Hennepin County.
i. External Agency Review
Depending on the application, additional review may be required by
external agencies. These entities all have varying review/approval
timelines which are outside of the purview of the City. However,
generally these agencies are also subject to a 60-day review timeline
after a complete application is submitted. Examples of external
agencies that may need to complete their own review and approval of
a project include the following:
- Elm Creek Watershed
- Metropolitan Council
- Hennepin County
- Department of Labor and Industry
- BWSR for Wetland Impacts
- Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
- Minnesota Department of Health
- Army Corps
ii. Revisions
Applicants may be required to revise plans as outlined in the approving
resolution for the project.
iii. Agreements
Page 6 of 8
Applicants will work with City staff and the City Attorney to finalize any
required agreements as outlined in the approving resolution for the
project.
Projects that include public improvements are subject to a Developers
Agreement (DA). Projects that include only site improvements are
subject to a Site Improvement Performance Agreement (SIPA). DAs
and SIPAs require a financial guarantee based on the estimated cost
of improvements in the form of a Letter of Credit or a cash deposit. The
financial guarantee is to protect the City by ensuring that the projects
are completed in accordance with the approvals and, if not, provides a
method for the City to complete the improvements.
Additional agreements that may need to be reviewed and finalized
include easements, encroachment agreements, Homeowners
Association documents, stormwater pond maintenance agreements,
etc.
iv. Documentation Released for Recording at Hennepin County
Once conditions of approval required prior to recording are satisfied,
final documentation is released to the applicant to record with
Hennepin County.
v. Submit Proof of Recording to the City
The applicant must submit proof of recording from Hennepin County
prior to moving forward with the construction phase of the process.
F. Construction Phase
After proof of recording is submitted, the construction phase can begin.
i. Pre-Construction Meeting
Before site work can begin, an on-site pre-construction meeting with
the applicant, City Engineer, and Public Works Director is required.
ii. Site Improvements
The applicant completes the required site improvements. Some
improvements, such as construction of a public street to serve a new
development, must be completed prior to issuance of building permits.
Page 7 of 8
iii. Inspections
Inspections occur throughout the process to confirm the project is
completed as approved.
iv. Building Permit
Development proposals that include the construction of a building(s)
will be required to enter the building permit process once any
necessary site improvements are deemed acceptable to support the
construction. The general building permit process is outlined below:
a. Submit Permit Application
The property owner, contractor, or representative submits a formal
application through the City’s online permit portal. The application
includes all plans and supporting documents identified in the
appropriate City checklist.
b. Plan Review
For new residential home construction, review takes up to 15
business days upon receipt of a complete application. Additional
days may be needed to evaluate any revised plans and documents.
Commercial/industrial/multi-family constriction (new and additions)
review may take longer than 15 days depending on the size and
complexity of the project.
c. Obtain Building Permit
When permits are ready for issuance, the applicant is notified with
the permit fee amount. Once the permit fee is paid, along with any
applicable escrow/surety, the permit is issued. The stamp approved
plans and inspection report card must be kept on the job site until
all inspection approvals are made.
d. Other Permits.
In addition to the building permit, additional permits may need to be
obtained for sewer/water, plumbing, mechanical, fire sprinkler, and
alarm systems (building permits for residential homes include
plumbing and mechanical permits). Electrical permits are
administered by the State. Septic permits are administered by
Page 8 of 8
Hennepin County. Other permits that may be required include land
disturbance and grading, driveway/access, fencing, retaining walls,
signage, etc. Other agency permits such as watershed, MPCA,
State Plumbing Department, etc., may also be required.
e. Building Inspections
The permit holder is responsible for contacting the Construction
Services Division at least 48 hours in advance to arrange for
required inspections. Inspection requests for specific times will be
honored whenever possible. If the requested time is not available,
the permit holder will be advised to select an alternate time or day.
f. Issuance of Certificate of Occupancy
Once all the work is completed related to the building permit and all
required final inspections are approved, the Construction Services
Division issues a Certificate of Occupancy.
v. Final Inspection
Once all site work and building construction is complete, a final
inspection is completed. If the development is completed per plan, the
project is deemed complete. Some aspects of projects will enter a 1-
year warranty period. Once any warranty periods expire, any remaining
financial securities and escrow accounts can be released and closed
out.
3. Conclusion
The development review process is complex as it is highly dependent on the specific
request at hand and can involve oversight from several entities. While this report
attempts to provide a simplified, general outline of the process, at times the process
adjusts based on the individualized needs of a specific site/project. Staff continuously
evaluate what went well and not-so-well with development projects to find areas where
the process can be improved in terms of providing upfront education, simplifying
processes, and establishing proper protections for the City and community.

Memo
To: Kevin Mattson, PE, PW Director From: Steve Hegland, PE
Joanne Cho
Project/File: 227705275 Date: January 17, 2024
Subject: Environmental Assessment – Trunk Utility Project NE Water Grant
Council Action Requested
Staff have completed the environmental review for the Northeast Water Grant and are recommending the
City Council review and consider the attached Environmental Assessment and consider publishing the
attached public notice.
Background
In late 2022, the City of Corcoran was notified that they were awarded $3 million by the Federal
Government ‘s Community Funding Program to be utilized towards the northeast water system. As the
water treatment and water tower projects were already underway, the City elected to use these funds
towards the infrastructure portion of the northeast water project. This project includes extending the
watermain, raw water lines and sanitary sewer form the Bellwether Development to the water treatment
facility and then extending utilities across County Road 116 and ultimately connecting the watermain to the
new water tower which is being constructed adjacent to the Hope Community Church.
As this funding was being utilized for infrastructure projects, the money is being facilitated to the City
through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In April of 2023, the City
approved Stantec to assist with completing the Environmental Assessment and grant application.
Environmental Assessment
In order to meet the HUD requirements for the project, an Environmental Assessment (EA) was completed
to review and identify any potential impacts within the project corridor. Throughout the EA process, Stantec
staff worked with the HUD grant specialist to gain their input and review the document to ensure that the EA
was completed in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) standards. The
completed EA package is attached to this memo for the City Council Review.
The outcome of the EA determined that the project will have no significant environmental impacts.
The final step of the EA will be for the City Administrator to enter the HUD online database to submit the
final document.
Agenda Item: 10a.

Public Notice
Following the approval of the City Council, the City must publish three separate public notices for the
project in the City paper. Those notices being;
· A notice of Finding of No Significant Impact
· A notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds
· The 2nd Public Notice of the Floodplain & Wetland 8-Step Process
These notices will run once in the City paper and the City is required to receive all public comments on the
notices for a 15-day period. Staff anticipate that the public notice would run in the paper on February 2nd
and the public notice would end February 19th.
Following the public notice, any comments received would be submitted to HUD for their final approval of
the EA.
Engineer’s Recommendation
We recommend City Council review and approve the attached Environmental Assessment and approve
publishing the attached public notice.

January 25th, 2024
City of Corcoran City Hall
8200 County Rd 116,
Corcoran, MN 55340
(763) 420-2288
These notices shall satisfy three separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be
undertaken by the City of Corcoran, Minnesota.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS
January 25th, 2024 the City of Corcoran will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development – Minneapolis Field Office (HUD) for the release of Community
Project Funding (CPF) Grant funds under section 14.251 and title is “Economic Development
Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants.” of the Fiscal Year 2023
Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117-328), as amended, to undertake a project known as
City of Corcoran Water Supply Construction Project for the purpose of providing a trunk
sanitary sewer and watermain extensions west to the Corcoran Water Treatment Facility and
continue west to the constructed Water Tower (located approximately just south of 19951
Oswald Farm Rd, Rogers, MN 55374). The project received $3 million in HUD funding with the
remaining project costs of $584,525.90 funded by the City of Corcoran.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
The City of Corcoran has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the
human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is
contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Corcoran City Hall, 8200
County Rd 116, Corcoran, MN 55340 where ERR can be examined and name and address of
other locations where the record is available for review and may be examined or copied
weekdays 8 A.M to 4:30 P.M.
FLOODPLAIN & WETLAND 8-STEP PROCESS SECOND PUBLIC NOTICE
While the project will take place within a 100-year floodplain and wetland, the 8-Step process
has concluded that the project will not have floodplain or wetland impacts. The nature of this
project does not require the construction of infrastructure above ground. This project will
connect to the future water tower and water treatment plant, however, construction of these two
facilities is separate from the Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer construction project.
Because sites for the water tower and the water treatment plant have already been determined,
this project was designed to minimize and avoid impacts.
An alternative that avoids the floodplain and wetland would enlarge the total footprint of the
project immensely, increasing the degree of impact to other social and environmental resources
within the area. Additionally, a No Build alternative was considered “not an option” given that
without the proposed improvements - extension of the watermain and sanitary pipes to connect to
the water tower, water treatment plant, and existing pipe networks - Corcoran residents and
businesses east of Hunters Ridge would not have access to safe and clean water. The City has
been purchasing water for community use, however the quantity required is no longer available.
Without this project, the City of Corcoran will be unable to provide additional water service in
this area of the community.
The watermain and sanitary sewer extensions will be all underground. No permanent or long-
term impacts to the wetland or the floodplain are anticipated due to this project. This temporary
impact falls under the no loss section of Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule
(MR) 8420.0415, Item H. 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain fall within
the project construction limit. A detailed 8-Step process is provided as part of the ERR. Any
individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the 8-Step process. The document
that details the 8-Step Process is available at the Corcoran City Hall, 8200 County Rd 116,
Corcoran, MN 55340. All comments received by February 19h, 2024 will be considered by the
City of Corcoran prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR and/or the 8-Step
Process (floodplain and wetland impacts) to the Corcoran City Hall, 8200 County Rd 116,
Corcoran, MN 55340. All comments received by February 19th, 2024 will be considered by the
City of Corcoran prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments
should specify which Notice they are addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION
The City of Corcoran certifies to HUD/Minnesota that Mayor or Certifying Officer in his
capacity as Environmental Officer consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an
action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and
that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s Minnesota’s approval of the certification
satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows the City of
Corcoran to use Program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS
HUD will accept objections to its release of fund and the City of Corcoran’s certification for a
period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the
request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification
was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Corcoran; (b) the City of Corcoran has
omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR
part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed
funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval
of a release of funds by HUD/Minnesota; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40
CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the
standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance
with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58, Sec. 58.76) and CPDRROFMIN@HUD.gov.
Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.
Jason Tobin, City Administrator (City of Corcoran)
Note: The fifteen or eighteen-day public comment periods are the minimum time
periods required by regulation prior to submission of a Request for Release of Funds
and Certification (form HUD-7015.15) to HUD/State. The Responsible Entity may
choose to allow a longer comment period. 24 CFR Part 58 requires, at Section 58.46,
“Time delays for exceptional circumstances,” a 30-day comment period for
controversial or unique projects or those similar to projects normally requiring
preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement. The fifteen-day objection period
is a statutory requirement. The objection period follows the submission date specified
in the Notice or the actual date of receipt by HUD/State, whichever is later.
Following completion of the comment period recipients may FAX the form HUD-
7015.15 to HUD/State together with a copy of the public notice and a cover letter
stating whether comments were received and, if so, how the recipient responded to the
comment. The Request for Release of Funds and Certification should not be
submitted before the recipient has responded. If the request is sent by FAX, the
original signed form should be mailed to HUD/State. The date of receipt by FAX will
be counted as the submission date. However, HUD will not issue the 7015.16
“Authority to Use Grant Funds” until after the original signed form is received.

Direct Comments to:
Statement of Purpose and Need for the Proposal [40 CFR 1508.9(b)]:
The Corcoran water supply project will improve conditions for economic development
in the City. Under the larger NE Water Supply Initiative, the City has already initiated
the construction of a well, water treatment facility and a water tower for the City of
Corcoran's Northeast District. This project would allow the City of Corcoran to
obtain its own water supply system, starting with the northeast portion of the City.
Currently, the City is required to contract for water from a surrounding community,
which restricts its ability to grow and results in a limited number of residential units
available. The City is experiencing significant growth in residential development and
has also seen an increase in commercial interest within its boundaries. The abili ty to
rely on a City owned water supply system will have a direct positive impact on its
ability to continue to develop. A total of 568 new homes that will be served by the
system have either been constructed or are under construction. Additionally, there
are many acres of undeveloped land that will be also served as development
continues. Proposed improvements have been discussed by the City of Corcoran for
decades but have not proceeded due to a lack of funding sources and the ability to
purchase water from an adjacent city. This has now become a growth limiting
constraint which would be relieved by this federally funded Corcoran water supply
project. The project would provide safe and clean drinking water to the community
and support the significant residential and commercial growth in the area.
Existing Conditions and Trends [24 CFR 58.40(a)]:
The existing land use surrounding the proposed project site consists mainly of
residential (rural, low-density) use with pockets of undeveloped land which have been
identified as mixed use in the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The only major
Description of the Proposed Project [24 CFR 50.12 & 58.32; 40 CFR 1508.25]:
This project supports the City of Corcoran's efforts to provide residents with a safe, clean and
reliable drinking water supply. This project will construct infrastructure to provide raw water
to a water treatment plant and carry the treated water to local residents and a new area
water tower. The City is currently constructing the water tower under a different contract.
The water tower is not included in this project. The water supply project includes the
construction of one 16-inch diameter water main to deliver raw water to the existing water
treatment plant, two water mains for the treated water (16- and 20-inch diameter lines) to
supply the water tower and existing city businesses and residents, and a 30-inch diameter
sanitary sewer line. The sanitary sewer will be extended to the water treatment facility to
allow for the backwash water from the treatment facility to be discharged to the Met Council
wastewater system. The raw water main and the sewer pipe will be constructed adjacent to
and in conjunction with the treated water main.

local/community attraction site in the project area is Hope Community Church. The
church is located on the western side of Fletcher Lane/County Road (CR) 116 along
Oswald Farm Road. Additionally, there are couple natural resources identified
adjacent to the project area. Examples of natural/environmental resources identified
in the City's Comprehensive Plan include: cattail marsh (an ecologically significant
natural area); shallow marsh (wetland); and savanna/pasture and oak forest. The
main purposed of this project is to ensure that existing and future water demands are
met. The City is experiencing growth with new residential developments occurring
east of Hunters Ridge and is anticipated to experience water shortage without this
project. The area east of Hunters Ridge is already under development and the City's
2040 Comprehensive Plan details how the existing eastern terminus of Hunter's Ridge
will be extended to connect to the new development. With that said, without the
proposed improvements, not only would the City experience a water shortage but
also could potentially jeopardize the health of its residents and community by being
unable to provide safe and clean drinking water.

1 The project includes construction of
approximately 2,150-feet of 30-inch
diameter trunk sanitary sewer. The sewer
extension is consistent with the City's 2040
Comprehensive Plan. The City's trunk sewer
system in this Northeast District flows to a
regional interceptor that conveys flows to a
regional wastewater treatment plant run by
the Metropolitan Council. The majority of
city residences have individual sewage
treatment systems (ISTS). It is anticipated
that this roughly 40-foot-deep sewer will
disturb a width of 120 to 150-feet wide
along the sewer alignment.

Capacity)
1 This project will supply raw water to a
water treatment plant and treated water to
a water tower the city will be constructing
separately from this project. The
construction of the watermain will help
meet the water demand within the City of
Corcoran given the anticipated
development surrounding Hope Community
Church as well as single family residential
homes east of Hunters Ridge.

Cumulative Impact Analysis [24 CFR 58.32]:
No cumulative impacts are anticipated with the project given that all proposed
improvements will be underground. All ground disturbances will be restored to
existing condition using native plant seeds to ensure vegetation consistency in the
area. The construction and installment of the watermain and the sanitary sewers
are part of the larger water supply project for the City of Corcoran which includes the
construction of the water tower and the water treatment plant. Neither the
construction of the water tower nor the water treatment plant have a federal nexus.
Corcoran-Water-Supply-

01/15/2024 10:20 Page 12 of 47
Therefore, this project -the construction and installment of the watermain and the
sanitary sewers- will ultimately connect to the water tower and the water treatment
plant. Yet, no component of the HUD funding will be used to support the construction
on the water tower and the water treatment plant.
Alternatives [24 CFR 58.40(e); 40 CFR 1508.9]
NA
No Action Alternative [24 CFR 58.40(e)]
The ability to purchase water, at the quantity desired, is no longer available to the City
and the City of Corcoran has lost the ability to provide additional water service in this
portion of the community. Therefore, without this project, the City of Corc oran will
not be able to supply safe water to its residents and businesses.
Summary of Findings and Conclusions:
After all maps, data, and information that has been obtained for this environmental
assessment for this proposed project there are no potential negative or changes that
are deemed necessary that will cause any significant impact. All residents and faciliti es
surrounding the project site areas are free and clear of any significant impact that
would alter or change their daily routines. Additionally, all tree removal/trimming will
be limited to November 15 - March 31 to minimize impacts to threatened and
endangered species in the area identified by USFWS.

Explain:
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has a database called
What's in My Neighborhood (WIMN) that tracks sites that may be
hazardous to the environment and people. Based on the review of
WIMN, there is one site that has had hazardous waste: Lithgow
Automotive Inc. However, MPCA's activity overview section shows this
as to be inactive and the name of the hazardous waste was waste parts
washer filters, sludge and skimmed oil. Furthermore, even though
attached map shows Lithgow Automotive Inc site to be adjacent to the
project location, MPCA WIMN does not always reflect the exact
location. After additional review of the Lithgow Automotive Inc site on
MPCA's database, the actual address is 10025 County Road 116 Rogers,
MN 55374-9750, which is north of the project location and not
anticipated to be impacted in any way or form. Additional information

Project Name: Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project
Federal Nexus: yes
Federal Action Agency (if applicable): Department of Housing and Urban Development
Subject:Federal agency coordination under the Endangered Species Act, Section 7 for
'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project'
Dear David Nuccio:
This letter records your determination using the Information for Planning and Consultation
(IPaC) system provided to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) on August 09, 2023, for
'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project' (here forward,
Project). This project has been assigned Project Code 2023-0114125 and all future
correspondence should clearly reference this number. Please carefully review this letter. Your
Endangered Species Act (Act) requirements may not be complete.
Ensuring Accurate Determinations When Using IPaC
The Service developed the IPaC system and associated species’ determination keys in accordance
with the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (ESA; 87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C. 1531 et
seq.) and based on a standing analysis. All information submitted by the Project proponent into
IPaC must accurately represent the full scope and details of the Project.
Failure to accurately represent or implement the Project as detailed in IPaC or the Northern
Long-eared Bat Rangewide Determination Key (DKey), invalidates this letter. Answers to
certain questions in the DKey commit the project proponent to implementation of conservation
measures that must be followed for the ESA determination to remain valid.
Determination for the Northern Long-Eared Bat
Based upon your IPaC submission and a standing analysis completed by the Service, your project
has reached the determination of “May Affect, Not Likely to Adversely Affect” the northern
long-eared bat. Unless the Service advises you within 15 days of the date of this letter that your
08/09/2023 2
▪
▪
▪
▪
▪
IPaC-assisted determination was incorrect, this letter verifies that consultation on the Action is
complete and no further action is necessary unless either of the following occurs:
new information reveals effects of the action that may affect the northern long-eared bat in
a manner or to an extent not previously considered; or,
the identified action is subsequently modified in a manner that causes an effect to the
northern long-eared bat that was not considered when completing the determination key.
15-Day Review Period
As indicated above, the Service will notify you within 15 calendar days if we determine that this
proposed Action does not meet the criteria for a “may affect, not likely to adversely
affect” (NLAA) determination for the northern long-eared bat. If we do not notify you within that
timeframe, you may proceed with the Action under the terms of the NLAA concurrence provided
here. This verification period allows the identified Ecological Services Field Office to apply local
knowledge to evaluation of the Action, as we may identify a small subset of actions having
impacts that we did not anticipate when developing the key. In such cases, the identified
Ecological Services Field Office may request additional information to verify the effects
determination reached through the Northern Long-eared Bat DKey.
Other Species and Critical Habitat that May be Present in the Action Area
The IPaC-assisted determination for the northern long-eared bat does not apply to the following
ESA-protected species and/or critical habitat that also may occur in your Action area:
Monarch Butterfly Danaus plexippus Candidate
Tricolored Bat Perimyotis subflavus Proposed Endangered
Whooping Crane Grus americana Experimental Population, Non-Essential
You may coordinate with our Office to determine whether the Action may affect the species and/
or critical habitat listed above. Note that reinitiation of consultation would be necessary if a new
species is listed or critical habitat designated that may be affected by the identified action before
it is complete.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or need further assistance, please contact the
Minnesota-Wisconsin Ecological Services Field Office and reference Project Code
2023-0114125 associated with this Project.

Action Description
You provided to IPaC the following name and description for the subject Action.
1. Name
Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project
2. Description
The following description was provided for the project 'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk
Sanitary Sewer Construction Project':
This project supports the construction of a water supply system, including a well,
water treatment facility, and water storage facility, for the City of Corcoran’s
Northeast District, Minnesota. This project supports the City of Corcoran's efforts
to provide a safe, clean and reliable drinking water to a significant portion of the
City. This project includes the extension of 16- and 20-inch diameter water main,
30-inch dia. sanitary sewer and 16-inch diameter raw water main. This project
will supply raw water to a water treatment plant (WTP) and treated water to a
water tower (Tower). In addition to providing safe and clean drinking water to the
community, the new system would spur significant residential and commercial
growth in the area on the approximately 2,000 acres of mostly undeveloped land
that would be served.
The approximate location of the project can be viewed in Google Maps: https://

DETERMINATION KEY RESULT
Based on the answers provided, the proposed Action is consistent with a determination of “may
affect, but not likely to adversely affect” for the Endangered northern long-eared bat (Myotis
septentrionalis).
QUALIFICATION INTERVIEW
Does the proposed project include, or is it reasonably certain to cause, intentional take of
the northern long-eared bat or any other listed species?
Note: Intentional take is defined as take that is the intended result of a project. Intentional take could refer to
research, direct species management, surveys, and/or studies that include intentional handling/encountering,
harassment, collection, or capturing of any individual of a federally listed threatened, endangered or proposed
species?
No
Do you have post-white nose syndrome occurrence data that indicates that northern long-
eared bats (NLEB) are likely to be present in the action area?
Bat occurrence data may include identification of NLEBs in hibernacula, capture of
NLEBs, tracking of NLEBs to roost trees, or confirmed acoustic detections. With this
question, we are looking for data that, for some reason, may have not yet been made
available to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
No
Does any component of the action involve construction or operation of wind turbines?
Note: For federal actions, answer ‘yes’ if the construction or operation of wind power facilities is either (1) part
of the federal action or (2) would not occur but for a federal agency action (federal permit, funding, etc.).
No
Is the proposed action authorized, permitted, licensed, funded, or being carried out by a
Federal agency in whole or in part?
Yes
Is the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Federal Railroad Administration (FRA),
or Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding or authorizing the proposed action, in
whole or in part?
No

Are you an employee of the federal action agency or have you been officially designated in
writing by the agency as its designated non-federal representative for the purposes of
Endangered Species Act Section 7 informal consultation per 50 CFR § 402.08?
Note: This key may be used for federal actions and for non-federal actions to facilitate section 7 consultation and
to help determine whether an incidental take permit may be needed, respectively. This question is for information
purposes only.
No
Is the lead federal action agency the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)? Is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) funding or authorizing the proposed action,
in whole or in part?
No
Is the lead federal action agency the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)?
No
Have you determined that your proposed action will have no effect on the northern long-
eared bat? Remember to consider the effects of any activities that would not occur but for
the proposed action.
If you think that the northern long-eared bat may be affected by your project or if you
would like assistance in deciding, answer “No” below and continue through the key. If you
have determined that the northern long-eared bat does not occur in your project’s action
area and/or that your project will have no effects whatsoever on the species despite the
potential for it to occur in the action area, you may make a “no effect” determination for
the northern long-eared bat.
Note: Federal agencies (or their designated non-federal representatives) must consult with USFWS on federal
agency actions that may affect listed species [50 CFR 402.14(a)]. Consultation is not required for actions that will
not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, this determination key will not provide a consistency or
verification letter for actions that will not affect listed species. If you believe that the northern long-eared bat may
be affected by your project or if you would like assistance in deciding, please answer “No” and continue through
the key. Remember that this key addresses only effects to the northern long-eared bat. Consultation with USFWS
would be required if your action may affect another listed species or critical habitat. The definition of Effects of
the Action can be found here: https://www.fws.gov/media/northern-long-eared-bat-assisted-determination-key-

Project Name: Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project
Subject:Verification letter for 'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer
Construction Project' for specified threatened and endangered species that may occur
in your proposed project location consistent with the Minnesota-Wisconsin
Endangered Species Determination Key (Minnesota-Wisconsin DKey).
Dear David Nuccio:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) received on August 09, 2023 your effect
determination(s) for the 'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction
Project' (Action) using the Minnesota-Wisconsin DKey within the Information for Planning and
Consultation (IPaC) system. You have submitted this key to satisfy requirements under Section
7(a)(2). The Service developed this system in accordance of with the Endangered Species Act of
1973 (ESA) (87 Stat. 884, as amended; 16 U.S.C 1531 et seq.).
Based on your answers and the assistance of the Service’s Minnesota-Wisconsin DKey, you
made the following effect determination(s) for the proposed Action:
Species Listing Status Determination
Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)Candidate No effect
Tricolored Bat (Perimyotis subflavus)Proposed
Endangered
NLAA
Whooping Crane (Grus americana)Experimental
Population, Non-
Essential
No effect
Determination Information
The Service will notify you within 30 calendar days if we determine that this proposed Action
does not meet the criteria for a “may affect, not likely to adversely affect” (NLAA) determination
for Federally listed species in Minnesota and Wisconsin. If we do not notify you within that
timeframe, you may proceed with the Action under the terms of the NLAA concurrence provided
here. This verification period allows the Minnesota-Wisconsin Ecological Services Field Office
to apply local knowledge to evaluation of the Action, as we may identify a small subset of
08/09/2023 2
actions having impacts that were unanticipated. In such instances, the Minnesota-Wisconsin
Ecological Services Field Office may request additional information to verify the effects
determination reached through the Minnesota-Wisconsin DKey.
Additional Information
Sufficient project details: Please provide sufficient project details on your project homepage in
IPaC (Define Project, Project Description) to support your conclusions. Failure to disclose
important aspects of your project that would influence the outcome of your effects
determinations may negate your determinations and invalidate this letter. If you have site-specific
information that leads you to believe a different determination is more appropriate for your
project than what the Dkey concludes, you can and should proceed based on the best available
information.
Future project changes: The Service recommends that you contact the Minnesota-Wisconsin
Ecological Services Field Office or re-evaluate the project in IPaC if: 1) the scope or location of
the proposed Action is changed; 2) new information reveals that the action may affect listed
species or designated critical habitat in a manner or to an extent not previously considered; 3) the
Action is modified in a manner that causes effects to listed species or designated critical habitat;
or 4) a new species is listed or critical habitat designated. If any of the above conditions occurs,
additional consultation with the Service should take place before project changes are final or
resources committed.
For non-Federal representatives: Please note that when a project requires consultation under
section 7 of the Act, the Service must consult directly with the Federal action agency unless that
agency formally designates a non-Federal representative (50 CFR 402.08). Non-Federal
representatives may prepare analyses or conduct informal consultations; however, the ultimate
responsibility for section 7 compliance under the Act remains with the Federal agency. Please
include the Federal action agency in additional correspondence regarding this project.
Species-specific information
Whooping Crane Nonessential Experimental Population: For Federal projects outside a
National Wildlife Refuge or National Park, we treat the nonessential experimental population
(NEP) of whooping crane as proposed for listing and only two provisions of section 7 would
apply: section 7(a)(1) and section 7(a)(4). Section 7(a)(4) requires Federal agencies to confer
with the Service on actions that are likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a proposed
species. You indicated that the Action is not likely to result in jeopardy of the NEP of
whooping crane. As such, your obligations under section 7 for whooping crane are
complete.
Bald and Golden Eagles: Bald eagles, golden eagles, and their nests are protected under the
Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (54 Stat. 250, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 668a-d) (Eagle Act).
The Eagle Act prohibits, except when authorized by an Eagle Act permit, the “taking” of bald
and golden eagles and defines “take” as “pursue, shoot, shoot at, poison, wound, kill, capture,
trap, collect, molest or disturb.” The Eagle Act’s implementing regulations define disturb as “…
to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based on
the best scientific information available, (1) injury to an eagle, (2) a decrease in its productivity,
08/09/2023 3
▪
by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or (3) nest
abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior.”
If you observe a bald eagle nest in the vicinity of your proposed project, you should follow the
National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines (May 2007). For more information on eagles and
conducting activities in the vicinity of an eagle nest, please visit our regional eagle website or
contact Margaret at Margaret_Rheude@fws.gov. If the Action may affect bald or golden
eagles, additional coordination with the Service under the Eagle Act may be required.
The following species and/or critical habitats may also occur in your project area and are not
covered by this conclusion:
Northern Long-eared Bat Myotis septentrionalis Endangered
Coordination with the Service is not complete if additional coordination is advised above
for any species.

Action Description
You provided to IPaC the following name and description for the subject Action.
1. Name
Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project
2. Description
The following description was provided for the project 'Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk
Sanitary Sewer Construction Project':
This project supports the construction of a water supply system, including a well,
water treatment facility, and water storage facility, for the City of Corcoran’s
Northeast District, Minnesota. This project supports the City of Corcoran's efforts
to provide a safe, clean and reliable drinking water to a significant portion of the
City. This project includes the extension of 16- and 20-inch diameter water main,
30-inch dia. sanitary sewer and 16-inch diameter raw water main. This project
will supply raw water to a water treatment plant (WTP) and treated water to a
water tower (Tower). In addition to providing safe and clean drinking water to the
community, the new system would spur significant residential and commercial
growth in the area on the approximately 2,000 acres of mostly undeveloped land
that would be served.

QUALIFICATION INTERVIEW
This determination key is intended to assist the user in evaluating the effects of their
actions on Federally listed species in Minnesota and Wisconsin. It does not cover other
prohibited activities under the Endangered Species Act (e.g., for wildlife: import/export,
Interstate or foreign commerce, possession of illegally taken wildlife, etc.; for plants:
import/export, reduce to possession, malicious destruction on Federal lands, commercial
sale, etc.) or other statutes. Additionally, this key DOES NOT cover wind development,
purposeful take (e.g., for research or surveys), communication towers that have guy wires
or are over 450 feet in height, aerial or other large-scale application of any chemical (such
as insecticide or herbicide), and approval of long-term permits or plans (e.g., FERC
licenses, HCP's).

Will your project have any direct impacts to a stream or river (e.g., Horizontal Directional
Drilling (HDD), hydrostatic testing, stream/road crossings, new stormwater outfall
discharge, dams, other in-stream work, etc.)?
No
Does your project have the potential to impact the riparian zone or indirectly impact a
stream/river (e.g., cut and fill; horizontal directional drilling; construction; vegetation
removal; pesticide or fertilizer application; discharge; runoff of sediment or pollutants;
increase in erosion, etc.)?
Note: Consider all potential effects of the action, including those that may happen later in time and outside and
downstream of the immediate area involved in the action.
Endangered Species Act regulation defines "effects of the action" to include all consequences to listed species or
critical habitat that are caused by the proposed action, including the consequences of other activities that are
caused by the proposed action. A consequence is caused by the proposed action if it would not occur but for the
proposed action and it is reasonably certain to occur. Effects of the action may occur later in time and may
include consequences occurring outside the immediate area involved in the action. (50 CFR 402.02).
No
Will your action disturb the ground or existing vegetation?
Note: This includes any off-road vehicle access, soil compaction (enough to collapse a rodent burrow), digging,
seismic survey, directional drilling, heavy equipment, grading, trenching, placement of fill, pesticide application
(herbicide, fungicide), vegetation management (including removal or maintenance using equipment or prescribed
fire), cultivation, development, etc.
Yes
Will your action include spraying insecticides?
No
Does your action area occur entirely within an already developed area?
Note: Already developed areas are already paved, covered by existing structures, manicured lawns, industrial
sites, or cultivated cropland, AND do not contain trees that could be roosting habitat. Be aware that listed species
may occur in areas with natural, or semi-natural, vegetation immediately adjacent to existing utilities (e.g.
roadways, railways) or within utility rights-of-way such as overhead transmission line corridors, and can utilize
suitable trees, bridges, or culverts for roosting even in urban dominated landscapes (so these are not considered
"already developed areas" for the purposes of this question). If unsure, select NO..
No
Have you determined that the action will have no effect on individuals within the
whooping crane nonessential experimental population (NEP)?
No

Does the action occur within a National Wildlife Refuge or National Park?
Note: For the purposes of section 7 of the Act, we treat nonessential experimental populations (NEPs) as
threatened species when the NEP is located within a National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) or National Park (NP), and
therefore section 7(a)(1) and the consultation requirements of section 7(a)(2) of the Act apply in NWRs and NPs.
Section 7(a)(1) requires all Federal agencies to use their authorities to conserve listed species. Section 7(a)(2)
requires that Federal agencies consult with the Service before authorizing, funding, or carrying out any activity
that would likely jeopardize the continued existence of a listed species or adversely modify its critical habitat.
No
For Federal projects outside a National Wildlife Refuge or National Park, we treat the
nonessential experimental population of whooping crane as proposed for listing and only
two provisions of section 7 would apply: section 7(a)(1) and section 7(a)(4). Section 7(a)
(4) requires Federal agencies to confer with the Service on actions that are likely to
jeopardize the continued existence of a proposed species. Have you determined that your
action is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of whooping crane?
No
[Hidden Semantic] Does the action area intersect the monarch butterfly species list area?
Automatically answered
Yes
Under the ESA, monarchs remain warranted but precluded by listing actions of higher
priority. The monarch is a candidate for listing at this time. The Endangered Species Act
does not establish protections or consultation requirements for candidate species. Some
Federal and State agencies may have policy requirements to consider candidate species in
planning. We encourage implementing measures that will remove or reduce threats to these
species and possibly make listing unnecessary.
If your project will have no effect on monarch butterflies (for example, if your project
won't affect their habitat or individuals), then you can make a "no effect" determination for
this project.
Are you making a "no effect" determination for monarch?
No
Is this project funded, authorized, or carried out by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service?
No
[Hidden semantic] Does the action intersect the Tricolored bat species list area?
Automatically answered
Yes
08/09/2023 8
23.The tricolored bat was proposed for listing as endangered on September 13, 2022. During
winter, tricolored bats hibernate in caves, abandoned mines, and abandoned tunnels
ranging from small to large in size. During spring, summer and fall months, they roost
primarily among leaf clusters of live or recently dead deciduous/hardwood trees.
What effect determination do you want to make for the tricolored bat (Only make a "may
affect" determination if you think the project is likely to jeopardize the continued existence
of the species)?

Project Code: 2023-0114125
Project Name: Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction Project
Subject:List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
This response has been generated by the Information, Planning, and Conservation (IPaC) system to provide
information on natural resources that could be affected by your project. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(Service) provides this response under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C.
1531-1543), the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668-668d), the Migratory Bird Treaty Act
(16 U.S.C. 703-712), and the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.).
Threatened and Endangered Species
The enclosed species list identifies threatened, endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as
proposed and final designated critical habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and
may be affected by your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirement for obtaining a Technical
Assistance Letter from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act
(Act) of 1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of species, changed
habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations
implementing section 7 of the Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. The
Service recommends that verification be completed by visiting the IPaC website at regular intervals during
project planning and implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be
requested through the IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Consultation Technical Assistance
Please refer to refer to our Section 7 website for guidance and technical assistance, including step-by-step
instructions for making effects determinations for each species that might be present and for specific guidance
on the following types of projects: projects in developed areas, HUD, CDBG, EDA, USDA Rural
Development projects, pipelines, buried utilities, telecommunications, and requests for a Conditional Letter of
Map Revision (CLOMR) from FEMA.

We recommend running the project (if it qualifies) through our Minnesota-Wisconsin Federal Endangered
Species Determination Key (Minnesota-Wisconsin ("D-key")). A demonstration video showing how-to
access and use the determination key is available. Please note that the Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key is the third
option of 3 available d-keys. D-keys are tools to help Federal agencies and other project proponents determine
if their proposed action has the potential to adversely affect federally listed species and designated critical
habitat. The Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key includes a structured set of questions that assists a project proponent
in determining whether a proposed project qualifies for a certain predetermined consultation outcome for all
federally listed species found in Minnesota and Wisconsin (except for the northern long-eared bat- see below),
which includes determinations of “no effect” or “may affect, not likely to adversely affect." In each case, the
Service has compiled and analyzed the best available information on the species’ biology and the impacts of
certain activities to support these determinations.
If your completed d-key output letter shows a "No Effect" (NE) determination for all listed species, print your
IPaC output letter for your files to document your compliance with the Endangered Species Act.
For Federal projects with a “Not Likely to Adversely Affect” (NLAA) determination, our concurrence becomes
valid if you do not hear otherwise from us after a 30-day review period, as indicated in your letter.
If your d-key output letter indicates additional coordination with the Minnesota-Wisconsin Ecological Services
Field Office is necessary (i.e., you get a “May Affect” determination), you will be provided additional
guidance on contacting the Service to continue ESA coordination outside of the key; ESA compliance cannot
be concluded using the key for “May Affect” determinations unless otherwise indicated in your output letter.
Note: Once you obtain your official species list, you are not required to continue in IPaC with d-keys,
although in most cases these tools should expedite your review. If you choose to make an effects
determination on your own, you may do so. If the project is a Federal Action, you may want to review our
section 7 step-by-step instructions before making your determinations.
Using the IPaC Official Species List to Make No Effect and May Affect Determinations for Listed
Species
If IPaC returns a result of “There are no listed species found within the vicinity of the project,” then
project proponents can conclude the proposed activities will have no effect on any federally listed
species under Service jurisdiction. Concurrence from the Service is not required for no
effect determinations. No further consultation or coordination is required. Attach this letter to the dated
IPaC species list report for your records.
If IPaC returns one or more federally listed, proposed, or candidate species as potentially present in the
action area of the proposed project – other than bats (see below) – then project proponents must
determine if proposed activities will have no effect on or may affect those species. For assistance in
determining if suitable habitat for listed, candidate, or proposed species occurs within your project area
or if species may be affected by project activities, you can obtain Life History Information for Listed
and Candidate Species on our office website. If no impacts will occur to a species on the IPaC species
list (e.g., there is no habitat present in the project area), the appropriate determination is no effect. No
further consultation or coordination is required. Attach this letter to the dated IPaC species list report for
your records.

Northern Long-Eared Bats
Northern long-eared bats occur throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin and the information below may help in
determining if your project may affect these species.
This species hibernates in caves or mines only during the winter. In Minnesota and Wisconsin, the hibernation
season is considered to be November 1 to March 31. During the active season (April 1 to October 31) they
roost in forest and woodland habitats. Suitable summer habitat for northern long-eared bats consists of a wide
variety of forested/wooded habitats where they roost, forage, and travel and may also include some adjacent
and interspersed non-forested habitats such as emergent wetlands and adjacent edges of agricultural fields, old
fields and pastures. This includes forests and woodlots containing potential roosts (i.e., live trees and/or snags
≥3 inches dbh for northern long-eared bat that have exfoliating bark, cracks, crevices, and/or hollows), as well
as linear features such as fencerows, riparian forests, and other wooded corridors. These wooded areas may be
dense or loose aggregates of trees with variable amounts of canopy closure. Individual trees may be considered
suitable habitat when they exhibit the characteristics of a potential roost tree and are located within 1,000 feet
(305 meters) of forested/wooded habitat. Northern long-eared bats have also been observed roosting in human-
made structures, such as buildings, barns, bridges, and bat houses; therefore, these structures should also be
considered potential summer habitat and evaluated for use by bats. If your project will impact caves or mines
or will involve clearing forest or woodland habitat containing suitable roosting habitat, northern long-eared
bats could be affected.
Examples of unsuitable habitat include:
Individual trees that are greater than 1,000 feet from forested or wooded areas,
Trees found in highly developed urban areas (e.g., street trees, downtown areas),
A pure stand of less than 3-inch dbh trees that are not mixed with larger trees, and
A monoculture stand of shrubby vegetation with no potential roost trees.
If IPaC returns a result that northern long-eared bats are potentially present in the action area of the proposed
project, project proponents can conclude the proposed activities may affect this species IF one or more of the
following activities are proposed:
Clearing or disturbing suitable roosting habitat, as defined above, at any time of year,
Any activity in or near the entrance to a cave or mine,
Mining, deep excavation, or underground work within 0.25 miles of a cave or mine,
Construction of one or more wind turbines, or
Demolition or reconstruction of human-made structures that are known to be used by bats based on
observations of roosting bats, bats emerging at dusk, or guano deposits or stains.
If none of the above activities are proposed, project proponents can conclude the proposed activities will
have no effect on the northern long-eared bat. Concurrence from the Service is not required for No
11/16/2023 4
Effect determinations. No further consultation or coordination is required. Attach this letter to the dated IPaC
species list report for your records.
If any of the above activities are proposed, and the northern long-eared bat appears on the user’s species list,
the federal project user will be directed to either the range-wide northern long-eared bat D-key or the Federal
Highways Administration, Federal Railways Administration, and Federal Transit Administration Indiana bat/
Northern long-eared bat D-key, depending on the type of project and federal agency involvement. Similar to
the Minnesota-Wisconsin D-key, these d-keys helps to determine if prohibited take might occur and, if not, will
generate an automated verification letter.
Please note: On November 30, 2022, the Service published a proposal final rule to reclassify the northern
long-eared bat as endangered under the Endangered Species Act. On January 26, 2023, the Service published a
60-day extension for the final reclassification rule in the Federal Register, moving the effective listing date
from January 30, 2023, to March 31, 2023. This extension will provide stakeholders and the public time to
preview interim guidance and consultation tools before the rule becomes effective. When available, the tools
will be available on the Service’s northern long-eared bat website (https://www.fws.gov/species/northern-long-
eared-bat-myotis-septentrionalis). Once the final rule goes into effect on March 31, 2023, the 4(d) D-key will
no longer be available (4(d) rules are not available for federally endangered species) and will be replaced with
a new Range-wide NLEB D-key (range-wide d-key). For projects not completed by March 31, 2023, that were
previously reviewed under the 4(d) d-key, there may be a need for reinitiation of consultation. For these
ongoing projects previously reviewed under the 4(d) d-key that may result in incidental take of the northern
long-eared bat, we recommend you review your project using the new range-wide d-key once available. If your
project does not comply with the range-wide d-key, it may be eligible for use of the Interim (formal)
Consultation framework (framework). The framework is intended to facilitate the transition from the 4(d) rule
to typical Section 7 consultation procedures for federally endangered species and will be available only until
spring 2024. Again, when available, these tools (new range-wide d-key and framework) will be available on
the Service’s northern long-eared bat website.
Whooping Crane
Whooping crane is designated as a non-essential experimental population in Wisconsin and consultation under
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act is only required if project activities will occur within a National
Wildlife Refuge or National Park. If project activities are proposed on lands outside of a National Wildlife
Refuge or National Park, then you are not required to consult. For additional information on this designation
and consultation requirements, please review “Establishment of a Nonessential Experimental Population of
Whooping Cranes in the Eastern United States.”
Other Trust Resources and Activities
Bald and Golden Eagles - Although the bald eagle has been removed from the endangered species list, this
species and the golden eagle are protected by the Bald and Golden Eagle Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty
Act. Should bald or golden eagles occur within or near the project area please contact our office for further
coordination. For communication and wind energy projects, please refer to additional guidelines below.
Migratory Birds - The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) prohibits the taking, killing, possession,
transportation, and importation of migratory birds, their eggs, parts, and nests, except when specifically
authorized by the Service. The Service has the responsibility under the MBTA to proactively prevent the
11/16/2023 5

▪
mortality of migratory birds whenever possible and we encourage implementation of recommendations that
minimize potential impacts to migratory birds. Such measures include clearing forested habitat outside the
nesting season (generally March 1 to August 31) or conducting nest surveys prior to clearing to avoid injury to
eggs or nestlings.
Communication Towers - Construction of new communications towers (including radio, television, cellular,
and microwave) creates a potentially significant impact on migratory birds, especially some 350 species of
night-migrating birds. However, the Service has developed voluntary guidelines for minimizing impacts.
Transmission Lines - Migratory birds, especially large species with long wingspans, heavy bodies, and poor
maneuverability can also collide with power lines. In addition, mortality can occur when birds, particularly
hawks, eagles, kites, falcons, and owls, attempt to perch on uninsulated or unguarded power poles. To

PROJECT SUMMARY
Project Code:2023-0114125
Project Name:Corcoran, MN - Watermain and Trunk Sanitary Sewer Construction
Project
Project Type:Water Supply Pipeline - New Constr - Below Ground
Project Description:This project supports the construction of a water supply system, including
a well, water treatment facility, and water storage facility, for the City of
Corcoran’s Northeast District, Minnesota. This project supports the City
of Corcoran's efforts to provide a safe, clean and reliable drinking water to
a significant portion of the City. This project includes the extension of 16-
and 20-inch diameter water main, 30-inch dia. sanitary sewer and 16-inch
diameter raw water main. This project will supply raw water to a water
treatment plant (WTP) and treated water to a water tower (Tower). In
addition to providing safe and clean drinking water to the community, the
new system would spur significant residential and commercial growth in
the area on the approximately 2,000 acres of mostly undeveloped land
that would be served.

Preface
Soil surveys contain information that affects land use planning in survey areas.
They highlight soil limitations that affect various land uses and provide information
about the properties of the soils in the survey areas. Soil surveys are designed for
many different users, including farmers, ranchers, foresters, agronomists, urban
planners, community officials, engineers, developers, builders, and home buyers.
Also, conservationists, teachers, students, and specialists in recreation, waste
disposal, and pollution control can use the surveys to help them understand,
protect, or enhance the environment.
Various land use regulations of Federal, State, and local governments may impose
special restrictions on land use or land treatment. Soil surveys identify soil
properties that are used in making various land use or land treatment decisions.
The information is intended to help the land users identify and reduce the effects of
soil limitations on various land uses. The landowner or user is responsible for
identifying and complying with existing laws and regulations.
Although soil survey information can be used for general farm, local, and wider area
planning, onsite investigation is needed to supplement this information in some
cases. Examples include soil quality assessments (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/
portal/nrcs/main/soils/health/) and certain conservation and engineering
applications. For more detailed information, contact your local USDA Service Center
(https://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?agency=nrcs) or your NRCS State Soil
Scientist (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/soils/contactus/?
cid=nrcs142p2_053951).
Great differences in soil properties can occur within short distances. Some soils are
seasonally wet or subject to flooding. Some are too unstable to be used as a
foundation for buildings or roads. Clayey or wet soils are poorly suited to use as
septic tank absorption fields. A high water table makes a soil poorly suited to
basements or underground installations.
The National Cooperative Soil Survey is a joint effort of the United States
Department of Agriculture and other Federal agencies, State agencies including the
Agricultural Experiment Stations, and local agencies. The Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) has leadership for the Federal part of the National
Cooperative Soil Survey.
Information about soils is updated periodically. Updated information is available
through the NRCS Web Soil Survey, the site for official soil survey information.

How Soil Surveys Are Made
Soil surveys are made to provide information about the soils and miscellaneous
areas in a specific area. They include a description of the soils and miscellaneous
areas and their location on the landscape and tables that show soil properties and
limitations affecting various uses. Soil scientists observed the steepness, length,
and shape of the slopes; the general pattern of drainage; the kinds of crops and
native plants; and the kinds of bedrock. They observed and described many soil
profiles. A soil profile is the sequence of natural layers, or horizons, in a soil. The
profile extends from the surface down into the unconsolidated material in which the
soil formed or from the surface down to bedrock. The unconsolidated material is
devoid of roots and other living organisms and has not been changed by other
biological activity.
Currently, soils are mapped according to the boundaries of major land resource
areas (MLRAs). MLRAs are geographically associated land resource units that
share common characteristics related to physiography, geology, climate, water
resources, soils, biological resources, and land uses (USDA, 2006). Soil survey
areas typically consist of parts of one or more MLRA.
The soils and miscellaneous areas in a survey area occur in an orderly pattern that
is related to the geology, landforms, relief, climate, and natural vegetation of the
area. Each kind of soil and miscellaneous area is associated with a particular kind
of landform or with a segment of the landform. By observing the soils and
miscellaneous areas in the survey area and relating their position to specific
segments of the landform, a soil scientist develops a concept, or model, of how they
were formed. Thus, during mapping, this model enables the soil scientist to predict
with a considerable degree of accuracy the kind of soil or miscellaneous area at a
specific location on the landscape.
Commonly, individual soils on the landscape merge into one another as their
characteristics gradually change. To construct an accurate soil map, however, soil
scientists must determine the boundaries between the soils. They can observe only
a limited number of soil profiles. Nevertheless, these observations, supplemented
by an understanding of the soil-vegetation-landscape relationship, are sufficient to
verify predictions of the kinds of soil in an area and to determine the boundaries.
Soil scientists recorded the characteristics of the soil profiles that they studied. They
noted soil color, texture, size and shape of soil aggregates, kind and amount of rock
fragments, distribution of plant roots, reaction, and other features that enable them
to identify soils. After describing the soils in the survey area and determining their
properties, the soil scientists assigned the soils to taxonomic classes (units).
Taxonomic classes are concepts. Each taxonomic class has a set of soil
characteristics with precisely defined limits. The classes are used as a basis for
comparison to classify soils systematically. Soil taxonomy, the system of taxonomic
classification used in the United States, is based mainly on the kind and character
of soil properties and the arrangement of horizons within the profile. After the soil
5
scientists classified and named the soils in the survey area, they compared the
individual soils with similar soils in the same taxonomic class in other areas so that
they could confirm data and assemble additional data based on experience and
research.
The objective of soil mapping is not to delineate pure map unit components; the
objective is to separate the landscape into landforms or landform segments that
have similar use and management requirements. Each map unit is defined by a
unique combination of soil components and/or miscellaneous areas in predictable
proportions. Some components may be highly contrasting to the other components
of the map unit. The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way
diminishes the usefulness or accuracy of the data. The delineation of such
landforms and landform segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, onsite
investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous areas.
Soil scientists make many field observations in the process of producing a soil map.
The frequency of observation is dependent upon several factors, including scale of
mapping, intensity of mapping, design of map units, complexity of the landscape,
and experience of the soil scientist. Observations are made to test and refine the
soil-landscape model and predictions and to verify the classification of the soils at
specific locations. Once the soil-landscape model is refined, a significantly smaller
number of measurements of individual soil properties are made and recorded.
These measurements may include field measurements, such as those for color,
depth to bedrock, and texture, and laboratory measurements, such as those for
content of sand, silt, clay, salt, and other components. Properties of each soil
typically vary from one point to another across the landscape.
Observations for map unit components are aggregated to develop ranges of
characteristics for the components. The aggregated values are presented. Direct
measurements do not exist for every property presented for every map unit
component. Values for some properties are estimated from combinations of other
properties.
While a soil survey is in progress, samples of some of the soils in the area generally
are collected for laboratory analyses and for engineering tests. Soil scientists
interpret the data from these analyses and tests as well as the field-observed
characteristics and the soil properties to determine the expected behavior of the
soils under different uses. Interpretations for all of the soils are field tested through
observation of the soils in different uses and under different levels of management.
Some interpretations are modified to fit local conditions, and some new
interpretations are developed to meet local needs. Data are assembled from other
sources, such as research information, production records, and field experience of
specialists. For example, data on crop yields under defined levels of management
are assembled from farm records and from field or plot experiments on the same
kinds of soil.
Predictions about soil behavior are based not only on soil properties but also on
such variables as climate and biological activity. Soil conditions are predictable over
long periods of time, but they are not predictable from year to year. For example,
soil scientists can predict with a fairly high degree of accuracy that a given soil will
have a high water table within certain depths in most years, but they cannot predict
that a high water table will always be at a specific level in the soil on a specific date.
After soil scientists located and identified the significant natural bodies of soil in the
survey area, they drew the boundaries of these bodies on aerial photographs and

identified each as a specific map unit. Aerial photographs show trees, buildings,
fields, roads, and rivers, all of which help in locating boundaries accurately.

soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit

descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

Soil Information for All Uses
Suitabilities and Limitations for Use
The Suitabilities and Limitations for Use section includes various soil interpretations
displayed as thematic maps with a summary table for the soil map units in the
selected area of interest. A single value or rating for each map unit is generated by
aggregating the interpretive ratings of individual map unit components. This
aggregation process is defined for each interpretation.
Land Classifications
Land Classifications are specified land use and management groupings that are
assigned to soil areas because combinations of soil have similar behavior for
specified practices. Most are based on soil properties and other factors that directly
influence the specific use of the soil. Example classifications include ecological site
classification, farmland classification, irrigated and nonirrigated land capability
classification, and hydric rating.
Farmland Classification (City of Corcoran, HUD EA )
Farmland classification identifies map units as prime farmland, farmland of
statewide importance, farmland of local importance, or unique farmland. It identifies
the location and extent of the soils that are best suited to food, feed, fiber, forage,
and oilseed crops. NRCS policy and procedures on prime and unique farmlands are
published in the "Federal Register," Vol. 43, No. 21, January 31, 1978.

Aggregation Method: No Aggregation Necessary
Aggregation is the process by which a set of component attribute values is reduced
to a single value that represents the map unit as a whole.
A map unit is typically composed of one or more "components". A component is
either some type of soil or some nonsoil entity, e.g., rock outcrop. For the attribute
being aggregated, the first step of the aggregation process is to derive one attribute
value for each of a map unit's components. From this set of component attributes,
the next step of the aggregation process derives a single value that represents the
map unit as a whole. Once a single value for each map unit is derived, a thematic
map for soil map units can be rendered. Aggregation must be done because, on
any soil map, map units are delineated but components are not.
For each of a map unit's components, a corresponding percent composition is
recorded. A percent composition of 60 indicates that the corresponding component
typically makes up approximately 60% of the map unit. Percent composition is a
critical factor in some, but not all, aggregation methods.
The majority of soil attributes are associated with a component of a map unit, and
such an attribute has to be aggregated to the map unit level before a thematic map
can be rendered. Map units, however, also have their own attributes. An attribute of
a map unit does not have to be aggregated in order to render a corresponding
Custom Soil Resource Report
30
thematic map. Therefore, the "aggregation method" for any attribute of a map unit is
referred to as "No Aggregation Necessary".
Tie-break Rule: Lower
The tie-break rule indicates which value should be selected from a set of multiple
candidate values, or which value should be selected in the event of a percent
composition tie.

Memo
To: Rory J. Stierler, Field Environmental
Officer Region V (U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development)
From: Joanne Cho, Transportation Planner
Minneapolis, MN
Project: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran
Water Supply HUD EA
Date: January 9, 2024
Reference: City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland Impact 8-Step Process
Step 1: Determine whether the action is located in 100-year floodplain (or a 500-year floodplain for
critical actions) or wetland.
This project supports the City of Corcoran's efforts to provide a safe, clean and reliable drinking water to a
significant portion of the City. The project includes the extension of 16- and 20-inch diameter water main,
and 30-inch dia. sanitary sewer. This project will supply raw water to a water treatment plant (Plant) and
treated water to a water tower (Tower). The Plant and the Tower were developed as separate projects and
are both currently under construction. This project will distribute treated water to existing city businesses
and residents. The sanitary sewer will be extended to the water treatment facility to allow for the backwash
water from the treatment facility to be discharged to the Met Council wastewater system. The raw water
main and the sewer pipe will be constructed adjacent to and in conjunction with the treated water main.
Types of work anticipated with this project include: ground disturbance to install the water main and sanitary
sewer underground and removal of trees and shrubs for the installation of pipes.
This action is located in a 100-year floodplain and a wetland. A small segment of the extension of 16- and
20-inch diameter water main and 30-inch diameter sanitary sewer that extends northeast to the new
residential development at Hunter’s Ridge is located within Zone A (area of special flood hazard with water
surface elevations determined) as indicated on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 43 of 500 no.
27053C0043F, revised November 4, 2013. Figure 1 in Attachment 1 shows the project area and the FIRM
map is also provided as Figure 2. The project is also anticipated to be located within a wetland (Freshwater
Emergent Wetland habitat classified as PEM1C) as mapped on the Fish and Wildlife Service- National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI) in Figure 3.
While the project will occur within 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain, the project will
not alter the existing topography or elevation as all ground disturbances will be restored to existing
conditions once the water main and the sanitary sewer have been installed underground. Additionally,
native seeding will be used to ensure full restoration of the area disturbed due to the project. There are no
permanent or long-term impacts anticipated to the wetland or the floodplain due to this project. This 2.6
acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain are temporary impacts and fall under the no loss
section of Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H.

Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
Step 2: Notify the public for early review of the proposal and involve the affected and interested
public in the decision-making process.
A public notice describing the project was published in the Crow River News, the local and regional paper,
on August 17, 2023. The ad targeted local residents, including those in the floodplain and wetland. The
notice was also sent to interested Federal, State, local agencies, and non-profit groups. Agencies included
the Hennepin County, MN floodplain managers, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources,
Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Housing and Urban Development. A list of specific
agencies and individuals and a copy of the published notification is kept in the project’s environmental
review record and attached to this document (Attachment 2). The required 15 calendar days were allowed
for public comment. As required by regulation, the notice also included the name, proposed location and
description of the activity, total number of floodplain and wetland acres involved, and the responsible entity
contact for information (Jay Tobin [City of Corcoran, City Administrator], HUD Environmental Coordinator
under Part 58) as well as the location and hours of the office at which a full description of the proposed
action can be viewed.
No comments were received related to the project actions or impacts.
Step 3: Identify and evaluate practicable alternatives.
a) Locate the Project Within the Floodplain and Wetland (Selected alternative)
This project only has one proposed build alternative given that the watermain extension pipes have to
connect with the water tower by Hope Community Church at the end of Oswald Farm Road and the new
water treatment facility just north of Hunters Ridge on the eastside of Fletcher Lane/County State Aid
Highway (CSAH) 116. Additionally, the watermain and sanitary extension pipes would have to connect to
the new residential development occurring at the eastern terminus of Hunters Ridge (Figure 1).
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide safe water to the residents and businesses in Corcoran.
With the water tower and water treatment plant locations already determined, there were limited alternative
options that minimized impact to existing infrastructures. This build alternative has been determined to have
the least amount of impact to existing areas, resources, and infrastructure and the proposed alternative was
developed to ensure no changes to the topography or elevation of the area to impact floodplains or wetland
while meeting the project purpose and need. No permanent or long-term impacts to the wetland or the
floodplain are anticipated due to this project. This temporary impact falls under the no loss section of
Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H. 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8
acres of 100-year floodplain fall within the project construction limit.
Additionally, the City has been planning to construct a new water tower and water treatment plant to help
support water needs for its residents and businesses for decades. However, the City was unable to move
forward with its plans due to limited funding. Similarly, the proposed extension of the watermain and
sanitary sewer pipes have also been in the works for decades. Due to the length of time spent in the
planning phase, the City and its community members have well been aware of the needs for the extension
of new watermain and sanitary sewer pipes in the area.
b) Locate the Project Outside of the Floodplain and Wetland
January 9, 2024
Rory J. Stierler
Page 3 of 4
Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
As shown in Figure 1, the purpose of this project is to build watermain and sanitary sewer pipes that
connect to the existing pipe systems. Due to the location of existing network of watermain and sanitary
sewer pipes, the water tower, and the water treatment plant, other location alternatives would have
increased environmental impacts and ground disturbance given the indirect extension of pipes to partially
avoid the floodplain and the wetland; the existing watermain and sanitary sewer pipes for the residential
development east of Hunters Ridge’s eastern terminus.
c) No Action or Alternative Actions that Serve the Same Purpose
No action was not an option given that without the proposed improvements - extension of the watermain
and sanitary pipes to connect to the water tower, water treatment plant, and existing pipe networks-
Corcoran residents and businesses east of Hunters Ridge would not have access to safe and clean water.
The City’s ability to purchase water at the quantity required is no longer available. Without this project, the
City of Corcoran will be unable to provide additional water service in this area of the community.
Step 4: Identify Potential Direct and Indirect Impacts of Associated with Floodplain Development.
The nature of this project does not require the construction of infrastructure above ground. The watermain
and sanitary sewer extensions will be all underground. No permanent or long-term impacts to the wetland
or the floodplain are anticipated due to this project. This temporary impact falls under the no loss section of
Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H. 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8
acres of 100-year floodplain fall within the project construction limit.
This project is not anticipated to have any direct or indirect impacts to the floodplain or wetland upon
completion.
Step 5: Where practicable, design or modify the proposed action to minimize the potential adverse
impacts to lives, property, and natural values within the floodplain and to restore, and preserve the
values of the floodplain
The project will not alter the existing topography or elevation as all ground disturbances will be restored to
existing conditions once the watermain and the sanitary sewer pipes have been installed. Additionally,
native seeding will be used to ensure full restoration of the area disturbed due to the project.
Step 6: Reevaluating the Alternatives
While the project will occur within 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain, the project will
not alter the existing topography or elevation. All ground disturbances will be restored to existing conditions
once the water main and the sanitary sewer have been installed underground. Additionally, the proposed
improvements have been discussed for decades but have not proceeded because of lack of funding
sources. With no public comments received and no long- or short-term impacts anticipated, this remains to
be the best and only option.
A No Action is not an option as there are developments already occurring east of Hunters Ridge and
without this project, Corcoran community members will not have access to water.

Rory J. Stierler
Page 4 of 4
Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
Step 7: Determination of No Practicable Alternative
It is the City of Corcoran’s determination that there is no practicable alternative for partially or entirely
locating the project outside of the flood zone and wetland. This is due to: 1) the need to provide water to
communities and businesses east of Hunters Ridge; 2) this project has been planned for decades and only
be prolonged due to lack of funding; and 3) the watermain and sanitary sewer extensions provide a
connection between the water tower and the water treatment plant.
The City plans to publish a final notice in accordance with HUD’s EA Floodplain and Wetland Impact 8-Step
Process. This final notice will be published concurrently with the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
and will be posted consistent with the prior notice. The notice explains the reasons why the modified project
must be located in the floodplain, shares why other alternatives were not considered and a No Action was
dismissed at Steps 3 and 6, and describes all mitigation measures at Step 5 taken to minimize adverse
impacts and preserve natural and beneficial floodplain values. The notice is attached to this document. No
concerns were expressed by the public concerning this notice.
Step 8: Implement the Proposed Action
The City will assure that this plan, as modified and described above, is executed and necessary language
will be included in all agreements with participating parties. The city will also take an active role in
monitoring the construction process to ensure no unnecessary impacts occur nor unnecessary risks are
taken and all appropriate permits have been obtained for all project related activities, which includes the no
loss permit.

The proposed undertaking is near known and documented cultural
resources. Many of these resources are Native American sites. The vicinity of the
project is significant to the Mini Wakan Oyate – Spirit Lake Tribe (People of Spirit
Waters). For millennia, the Mini Wakan Oyate have cekiya (prayed), gathered
phezuta (medicines), and eti (camped) the surrounding vicinity. Since the area
around the project was HEAVILY utilized in prehistoric times, it is particularly
important for the construction to remain in the areas designated in the
archaeological survey. No further cultural resource work is necessary for this
project as long as the areas outlined are adhered to. If additional work is
necessary outside the areas designated, please notify our department and we can
make the necessary arrangements.
Please be aware though, because cultural inventories are done at different
times of the year and under different circumstances there can be variations in the

effectiveness of pedestrian surveys. At times, certain resources are not visible. For
instance, medicinal plants, some very significant to the ongoing traditions and
lifeway of the Spirit Lake people, may only be seen in the spring or summer of the
year. Other times, the grass is too deep for certain features or artifacts to be
located through pedestrian surveys. With this in mind, we recommend that
cultural resources not be forgotten with this letter of finding of no properties
affected. If resources are located during construction please halt activity and
notify our office.
Thank you for consulting with the Tribal Historic Preservation Office. If you have

SHPO Number: 2023-2375
Dear Mr. Mattson:
Thank you for providing additional information regarding this project via email on December
22, 2023. This additional information has been reviewed pursuant to the responsibilities given
the State Historic Preservation Officer by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
(54 U.S.C. § 306108) and its implementing federal regulations, “Protection of Historic
Properties” (36 CFR Part 800).
We have completed a review of your letter dated December 22, 2023, a submission which
included the following documentation in support of your agency’s No Historic Properties
Affected finding:
Map of the project Area of Potential Effect (APE)
Architecture-history reconnaissance survey report: Historic Resources Investigations and
Assessment of Effects for the Proposed Corcoran Water Treatment Facility Project,
Corcoran, Hennepin County, Minnesota (Nelson Cultural Services, December 2023).
Define Federal Undertaking and Determine the Area of Potential Effect
We understand that the federal undertaking includes construction of a trunk sanitary sewer
line, water main, raw water pipe, and water treatment plant, as well as reconstruction of
Hunter’s Ridge Road and wetland restoration.
We note that the APE map submitted December 22 nd doesn’t include the area for the proposed
water tower immediately south of Hope Community Church (19951 Oswald Farm Rd);
therefore, we assume that the water tower construction is not part of the federal undertaking.
Our review of this project does not include the water tower.
Based upon our understanding of the scope and nature of the proposed federal undertaking,
2
we agree that the Area of Potential Effect (APE) boundary, as described in your December 22 nd
letter and documented on the APE map, is generally appropriate to take into account the
potential direct and indirect effects of the proposed undertaking.
Identification of Historic Properties
History/Architecture
For our review of the architecture-history reconnaissance survey report (Phase I), it would have
been helpful if the report had included more detail about the general development and
settlement of the area. Even so, based on the information provided in report, we agree that no
intensive survey and evaluation (Phase II) is warranted for the following properties:
• House at 10015 County Road 116 (FLDNUM 01/HE-COC-00082)
• House at 10025 County Road 116 (FLDNUM 02/HE-COC-00083)
• House at 19900 Hillside Drive (FLDNUM 03/HE-COC-00084)
• House at 10110 County Road 116 (HE-COC-00005)
• House at 19904 Oswald Farm Road (HE-COC-00006)
Finding of Effect
Therefore, based upon information provided by your agency, we agree that no historic
properties will be affected by the undertaking.

Subject: Phase IA Cultural Resource Literature Review and Preliminary
Reconnaissance of the Corcoran Water Supply Construction Project,
Hennepin County, Minnesota
SHPO Number: 2023-2375
Dear Ms. Cho,
On behalf of Stantec Consulting Services, Inc., this report presents the results of a Phase IA cultural
resource literature review and preliminary reconnaissance conducted by In Situ Archaeological
Consulting, LLC (In Situ) for the Corcoran Water Supply Construction Project (Figures 1-3). The
proposed extension project area is located within the legal locations listed in Table 1.
Table 1: Legal Locations of the Proposed Project Area
Township (T) Range (R) Section(s)
119 North 23 West 11, 12
The proposed construction impact area is approximately 9 acres in size and located on city-owned
and privately-owned land. The literature review was conducted by In Situ staff on August 18,
2023, using files maintained by the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). On
August 28, 2023, In Situ conducted a preliminary reconnaissance of the construction impact area.
Currently, the lead federal agency for the project is the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) and the project is subject to Section 106 review and will be subject to review
by the Minnesota SHPO.
Attached to this letter are the cultural resource literature review maps (Figures 4-6) and
photographs from the preliminary reconnaissance of the construction impact area (Figures 7-13).
BACKGROUND RESEARCH
A literature review consisted of identifying any previously recorded archaeological sites and
architectural properties within a 2-mile study area surrounding the proposed project area (1 mile
from each side of the project area). The task was completed using site data files and previous
inventory files maintained by the Minnesota SHPO. In addition, background research was
completed by reviewing NRHP data, historic maps, atlases, current aerial photographs, soil maps,
topographic and geomorphic data, and other sources that might provide information for the
locations of historic-era sites, areas of prior disturbance, etc. (Figures 4-7). The literature/records
search revealed two previous cultural resource surveys, two previously recorded archaeological
sites, and 18 previously recorded architectural resources within the study area.

The records search revealed two previous cultural resource inventory/survey that was completed
within the study area (Table 2). The survey was reported on in 1995 and 2001 and were completed
for housing and transportation projects. The previous survey does not overlap with the project area.

BASIC ENVIRONMENT OF THE CONSTRUCTION IMPACT AREA
The physiography of the construction impact area is located within the Owatonna Moraine Area.
This area is characterized by a series of moraine that formed along the eastern edge of the Des
Moines lobe. The topography is rugged in the north area and becomes more gently sloped as it
goes south (Wright 1972). The elevation within the project area is approximately 980-1,030 ft
above mean sea level. This area is located within the Cordova-Hayden-Nessel and the Hayden-
Cordova-Peaty soil associations. The Cordova-Hayden-Nessel soil association is described as
“nearly level to gently undulating, moderately fine textured and medium textured soils that
developed in deep, friable, loamy glacial till”. The Hayden-Cordova-Peaty soil association is
described as “nearly level to rolling, medium-textured and moderately fine-textured that developed
in glacial till, and level organic soils (U.S. Department of Agriculture 1974).” There are several
specific soil series types present within the construction impact area (Table 5). These soil series
have very poorly drained to well drained soils (Natural Resources Conservation Service 2023).

ARCHAEOLOGICAL RECONNAISSANCE FIELD METHODS
The reconnaissance survey consisted of a site visit by an archaeologist in order to assess the
potential for cultural resources and to observe any indications of cultural resources or the potential
for cultural resources. The site visit was completed using visual inspection methods. The general
terrain, geomorphological setting, and topographic factors were observed and assessed in order to
assess the absence or likelihood of any cultural resources within the construction impact area.
Areas identified as disturbed areas, areas with a slope greater than 20 degrees, areas of poorly
drained soils, and low lying-wet areas are considered to have a low potential for containing
archaeological sites. However, for an area to be considered to have a potential for an archaeological
site, the following factors are considered:
- Located within undisturbed land;
- Located on a topographically significant landscape feature;
- Proximity of a suitable former or existing water source (within 200 m);
- Proximity of a previously recorded archaeological site or historic structure (within 200 m).
In addition, the gathered background research data were used with current field conditions to assess
the potential within the construction impact area for intact archaeological sites.
Photographs of the construction impact area as well as observational notes on the general terrain,
features within the construction impact area, and other pertinent information regarding the
landscape of the construction impact area were collected. All field notes, maps, and photos will be
maintained at the In Situ’s Eden Prairie, MN office.
PRELIMINARY RECONNAISSANCE RESULTS
On August 28, 2023, Abraham Ledezma and Sylvia Sandstrom of In Situ conducted a site visit
review of the construction impact area. The construction impact area consists of established
roadways, agricultural fields, and wooded/grassy areas (Figures 8-15). Vegetation consisted of
mixed grasses, wooded vegetation, and agricultural crops. The topography consisted of fairly flat
terrain. The area has been impacted by natural erosion, rural development, and agricultural
practices.
Corcoran Water Supply Construction Project
September 1, 2023
Page 5
During this visit, Mr. Ledezma noted indications that the project area has a low potential for
significant cultural resources, as the eastern portion of the project area is situated within low-lying
marshlands with poorly drained soils and the western portion of the project area has been subject
to previous disturbances, as road and utility right of ways are present in most of the western project
area. Thus, the probability that there are intact and eligible historic sites at these locations within
the area are low.
CULTURAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL
The project is located mostly within road and utility right of ways, agricultural fields, mixed
grasses, wooded area, and marshlands. The project area consists of fairly flat terrain and is on a
landform with no topographically significant landscape features. The project location is
approximately 0.8 miles west of the nearest natural suitable/permeant water source (Rush Creek).
The project area consists of mostly fairly flat terrain and is not near any creek, river terrace, or
permanent water source. Sources of fresh water and landforms such as river terraces have high
potential for archaeological sites (MNDOT 2002, MNDOT 2019). Long-term occupations sites
are more likely to occur along permeant water sources, as more resources are readily available
(Anderson and Smith 2003; MNDOT 2002, MNDOT 2019). Historic maps did not indicate any
prior cultural sites within the project area, nor are there any previously recorded sites located within
the proposed project area. Also, there is a lack of the number of significant sites within the study
area. In addition, due to the fact that portions of the western project area will be constructed along
existing road right of ways, it is likely that these portions of the project area may likely have been
heavily impacted by rural construction and road and utility construction. It is probable that those
activities would have significantly, if not totally impacted any archaeological resources that may
or may not have been present in relation to the western project area, leaving a nominal potential
for the intact presence of significant archaeological remains within the proposed western project
area. Also, portions of the eastern project area are located in low-lying areas with marshlands
present. Low lying/marsh areas are not typically suitable for long term occupation, as the area may
be subject to frequent flooding. Due to these factors, the project area has a low potential for
significant cultural resources.

REPORT SUMMARY
In Situ completed a Phase IA Cultural Resource Literature Review for the Corcoran Water Supply
Construction Project in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The literature/records search revealed two
previous cultural resource surveys, two previously recorded archaeological sites, and 18 previously
recorded architectural resources within the study area. None of these resources are located within
the proposed project area.
During this visit, Mr. Ledezma noted indications that the project area has a low potential for
significant cultural resources, as the eastern portion of the project area is situated within low-lying
marshlands with poorly drained soils and the western portion of the project area has been subject
to previous disturbances, as road and utility right of ways are present in most of the western project
area. Thus, the probability that there are intact and eligible historic sites at these locations within
the area are low.
The project is located mostly within road and utility right of ways, agricultural fields, mixed
grasses, wooded area, and marshlands. The project area consists of mostly fairly flat terrain and is
not near any creek, river terrace, or permanent water source. Historic maps did not indicate any
prior cultural sites within the project area, nor are there any previously recorded sites located within

area. Also, portions of the eastern project area are located in low-lying areas with marshlands
present. Low lying/marsh areas are not typically suitable for long term occupation, as the area may
be subject to frequent flooding. Due to these factors, the project area has a low potential for
significant cultural resources. Therefore, it is the opinion of In Situ that a Phase I cultural resource
management survey may not be warranted for this project.

ABSTRACT
Under contract with In Situ Archaeological Consulting, LLC, on behalf of their client
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) representing the City of Corcoran, Nelson Cultural
Services (NCS) conducted a historic resources survey for the proposed Corcoran Water
Treatment Facility Project in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The project, which lies just north
of the City of Corcoran in Hennepin County, consists of the construction of a new water
treatment plant on city-owned property. Some portions of the project extend onto privately
owned property but consist of subsurface components that will not be visible above ground,
including sanitary sewer and water main improvements. The Project Area is located in Sections
11 and 12 of Township (T) 119 North (N), Range (R) 23 West (W) in Hennepin County,
Minnesota. The Project Area is located on the east side of County Highway 116 and just south
of Hillside Drive. The project, proposed to be funded through a United States Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant, is subject to review of the HUD and must meet
the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. The project is also
subject to review by the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO).
The investigation was conducted in two parts: historic resources (architectural) survey
and archaeological investigation. This report covers the results of the historic resources survey
of the entire area that may be affected by the proposed development of the project. The historic
resources investigations consisted of a systematic survey of all properties 45 years of age or
older that are situated within the proposed project site and an additional survey area surrounding
the project that may have a direct line-of-sight to the project, which is considered the Area of
Potential Effects (APE) for this project. A literature review found that there are no National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed or eligible properties in the immediately surrounding
area that may be affected by the project.
The results of the field survey identified two previously recorded properties within the
APE. Additionally, three newly identified properties were identified within the APE.
Photographs and structural data for each property were collected in the field. None of the
properties within the survey area appear likely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP. Therefore,
NCS makes a recommendation of No Historic Properties Affected for the project.
I certify that this investigation was conducted and documented according to the
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines and that the report is complete and accurate
to the best of my knowledge.

INTRODUCTION
Under contract with In Situ Archaeological Consulting, LLC, on behalf of their client
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) representing the City of Corcoran, Nelson Cultural
Services (NCS) conducted a historic resources survey for the proposed Corcoran Wastewater
Treatment Facility Project in Hennepin County, Minnesota (Figures 1-3). The project, which
lies just north of the City of Corcoran in Hennepin County, consists of the construction of a
new wastewater treatment plant on city-owned property. Some portions of the project extend
onto privately owned property but consist of subsurface components that will not be visible
above ground, including sanitary sewer and water main improvement (Figure 4). The Project
Area is located in Sections 11 and 12 of Township (T) 119 North (N), Range (R) 23 West (W)
in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The Project Area is located on the east side of County
Highway 116 and just south of Hillside Drive. The project, proposed to be funded through a
United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grant, is subject to
review of the HUD and must meet the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act. The project is also subject to review by the Minnesota State Historic
Preservation Office (SHPO).
The investigation was conducted in two parts: historic resources (architectural) survey
and archaeological investigation. This report covers the results of the historic resources survey
of the entire area that may be affected by the proposed development of the project. The historic
resources investigations consisted of a systematic survey of all properties 45 years of age or
older that are situated within the proposed project site and an additional survey area surrounding
the project that may have a direct line-of-sight to the project, which is considered the Area of
Potential Effects (APE) for this project. A literature review found that there are no National
Register of Historic Places (NRHP) listed or eligible properties in the immediately surrounding
area that may be affected by the project.
NCS was assisted by staff from In Situ Archaeological Consulting, LLC, with the
documentation of properties in the field, but NCS was solely responsible for archival research
and report authoring. Christopher Nelson served as Principal Investigator for the project. The
field survey was conducted on November 22, 2023.

RESEARCH DESIGN
The purpose of the cultural historic portion of the project was to identify historic
properties in the area that may be affected by the proposed development of the project. These
effects may be direct or indirect. Direct effects occur within the boundaries of the project, while
indirect effects can occur for areas outside the direct boundaries and can include visual, audible,
and atmospheric effects that are associated with the development of the project. Collectively,
the entire area where these effects are possible is identified as the APE. Based on the nature of
the project, the cultural historic investigations consisted of a systematic survey of all properties
45 years of age or older that are situated within the APE of the proposed project.
HISTORIC RESOURCES INVESTIGATION METHODS
The investigations, including a background literature review and reconnaissance field
survey, were conducted in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the SHPO (Minnesota
Historical Society 2017) and the guidelines established in Archeology and Preservation:
Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines (National Park Service 1983) and
Guidelines for Local Surveys: A Basis for Preservation Planning. National Register Bulletin
No. 24 (National Park Service 1997). When properties are identified, they are subjected to the
guidelines outlined in National Register Bulletin 15, How to Apply the National Register
Criteria for Evaluation (National Park Service 1996).
There are four criteria for eligibility to be listed in the National Register of Historic
Places (NRHP). Only one of these criteria must be met to be considered eligible for listing;
however, oftentimes more than one of the criteria is met. The criteria for significance include:
A.Association with historic events or patterns of events;
B.Association with persons important to our past;
C.Exceptional or important architectural characteristics; and/or
D.Data potential.
Architectural properties typically qualify under Criteria A, B, or C. Criterion D is typically
reserved for archaeological sites.
In addition to meeting at least one of the established criteria, the appropriate integrity
must also be retained by the resource. There must be integrity of location, design,
workmanship, setting, materials, feeling, and association.
Prior to commencing fieldwork, a literature review was conducted to determine if any
previously recorded architectural properties, NRHP properties, or recorded cemeteries were
present within the APE. Historic maps were also reviewed to aid in guiding the fieldwork and
detecting the possible presence of properties 45 years of age or older within the APE.
Background research was also conducted in order to establish a historic context of the region.
The context was compiled by utilizing materials from the SHPO, archival materials at any
respective county courthouses, local libraries, and several online resources. The establishment
of the historic context helped to guide the interpretation of the field survey results.
6
The field survey included a systematic approach to identifying all properties 45 years
of age or older within the survey APE of the proposed project. Each property meeting
established inventory criteria that was identified within the survey area was photographed and
annotated on appropriate mapping and included in the report.
NCS focused on the ground plan, the height, and the roof configuration of each
structure, noting all visible materials, appendages, extensions, or other alterations. Housing
types and structural details within the report and utilized on survey forms follow the
terminology used by geographers Jakle, Bastian, and Meyer (1988), architectural historians
McAlester and McAlester (1992), and Gordon (1992). NCS then supplemented the field
survey data with an examination of available tax records, aerial photographs, and cartographic
sources. A summary and analysis of the field data detailing the overall architectural character
of the survey APE is included as a narrative in the report.
Based on the results of the field survey and archival research for each identified
property, the property was then subjected to the National Register Criteria for Evaluation to
conclude eligibility for listing in the NRHP. Properties concluded to be eligible to the NRHP
were also subjected to application of the Criteria of Adverse Effects (36CFR800.5). The
descriptions and evaluations are found in later sections of the report.
Definitions
Within this report, an architectural resource is defined as aboveground buildings or
structures that are 45 years of age or older. A historic property is defined as a building,
structure, object, or site that is listed in, or considered eligible for listing in, the NRHP. An
effect is defined as an activity associated with the project that alters a characteristic of a
historic property that qualified it for inclusion in the NRHP.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
POST-CONTACT (POST- AD 1837)
The area that includes all of Minnesota and western Wisconsin was considered “Indian
Territory” and settlements were not allowed. Although the French, British, and Americans
established trading posts in Minnesota, the first official white settlements were established
after AD 1837. This was due to the signing of two treaties, one with the Ojibwe and one with
the Dakota. The 1837 treaties had the Ojibwe and Dakota ceding all their lands east of the
Mississippi, which included the Golden Triangle, the land between Mississippi and St. Croix
Rivers. The treaties were ratified by Congress in AD 1838 and the land was open to
American settlement. In 1849, Minnesota officially became a territory and on May 11, 1858,
was admitted as a State into the United States. In 1862, Congress passed the Homestead Act
which allowed up to 160 acres of land to be claimed provided that the person was head-of-
household or person over 21 years of age, was a United States citizen or filed a declaration to
become a citizen, and stayed on the land and worked the land for five years and pay any
administration fees (Blegen; Folwell 1956).

Railroad Development
In the mid-1800’s, construction of railroads was started throughout the United States
beginning with the first railroad built near Baltimore, Maryland in 1831 (Schwieder 2000).
The railroad system in Minnesota began in 1862, with the construction of the St. Paul and
Pacific, connecting St. Paul and St. Anthony. This resulted in the construction and
expansions major railway lines to the southwest and west, including the Chicago; St. Paul,
Minneapolis and Omaha Railway; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway; and the Chicago
& Northwestern Railway. Railroad helped to create the current settlement pattern and
economic developments in Minnesota. They are an efficient, inexpensive way to transport
goods and people. Also, for the first time, people could travel anytime of the year (Quivik and
Martin 1988; Schwieder 2000).
RESULTS
The records review for this project indicated that there are two previously recorded
architectural resources within the APE for this project.
The APE for the current investigation includes the entire property containing the project
and an additional survey area surrounding the project that may have a direct line-of-sight to the
project. The APE is irregular in shape as some areas are blocked from having a direct line -of-
sight by intervening buildings and mature vegetation, while other areas are more open and the
potential for visibility extends a greater distance in these areas. The APE was determined based
on the areas with the highest potential to experience direct and indirect effects as a result of the
project. While some areas may experience indirect effects such as audible, dust, vibration, etc.,
these effects should be temporary and limited to the period of construction and will cease once
construction is completed. Visual effects should be the only lasting effect that could occur due
to the project.
The literature review found that there are no NRHP listed or eligible properties in the
immediately surrounding area that may be affected by the project. The APE is somewhat
sparsely populated since it is within a somewhat rural area north of the city limits. However, it
was found that only two older resources, both old farmstead, were present within the APE. All
other development was more recent with most structures less than 45 years of age. Based on
historic mapping and aerials, the APE has changed over time as the entire area was mostly
devoid of structures, but during the 1970s development began to appear throughout the area
(Figures 5-6). The current investigation found that there are no existing buildings within the
project footprint. However, five resources 45 years of age or older were identified in the APE
for indirect effects.
As indicated above, two previously recorded resources were identified within the APE
during the literature review. These include the two previously mentioned farmsteads recorded
as HE-COC-005 and HE-COC-006. The properties were recorded in 1988. Baseline
documentation was collected for the five resources identified in the surrounding survey area,
which is included in Table 1 below. None of the buildings represent a particular significant style
of architecture and are generally plain in appearance. It was determined that the resources are
clearly ineligible for listing in the NRHP, so discussion for those resources is limited, but
8
includes the completion of inventory forms for these resources, which are provided in Appendix
A.
Since NCS did not have access to the interiors of the properties and access to resources
was generally restricted to the public right-of-way during the survey, no documentation for any
resource interiors are included unless available through archival records.

HE-COC-005
Address: 10110 Co Rd No 116, Corcoran, MN
Section / Township / Range: S12, T119N, R23W
UTM Location: 457363, 4998248 (NAD 83)
Quadrangle: Rogers, MN
Construction Date: ca. 1914
Description: HE-COC-005 is a ca. 1914 residential dwelling that is situated in a rural
area north of Corcoran at 10110 Co Rd No 116 (Figures 2 and 3). This resource was previously
recorded in 1988, but with minimal information on the original form. A new form has been
completed for this resource and is included in Appendix A.
The two-story American Foursquare building is of frame construction (Figures 7-8). It
rests upon an unknown foundation. The exterior walls were clad with stucco at the time of the
1988 recordation but has since been modified to have vinyl siding. The hipped roof is covered
with asphalt shingles. The windows throughout the building consist of double-hung one-over-
one sash windows. A single brick chimney pierces the ridgeline of the roof. The façade has a
porch that has been enclosed and obscures some of the details of the façade. The house has
experienced some modifications, but appears to still retain original windows.
The house is accompanied by three outbuildings including a frame garage, a frame barn,
and a masonry-built silo. Four original buildings that were present on the property in 1988 are
now demolished, which has left little of the original farmstead remaining.
NRHP Evaluation: The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due
to its simple architectural design and displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type
of construction. There is little remaining of the original farmstead to suggest potential
eligibility. No intensive survey is recommended.
Assessment of Effects: Since the building is likely ineligible for listing in the NRHP a
historic property is not present. Therefore, an assessment of effects is not necessary for this
resource.

HE-COC-006
Address: 19904 Oswald Farm Rd, Corcoran, MN
Section / Township / Range: S11, T119N, R23W
UTM Location: 457287, 4997972 (NAD 83)
Quadrangle: Rogers, MN
Construction Date: ca. 1900
Description: HE-COC-006 is a ca. 1900 residential dwelling that is situated in a rural
area north of Corcoran at 19904 Oswald Farm Rd (originally recorded as 10110 Co Rd No 116)
(Figures 2 and 3). This resource was previously recorded in 1988, but with minimal information
on the original form. A new form has been completed for this resource and is included in
Appendix A.
The one-and-a-half-story gabled ell building is of frame construction (Figures 9 and 10).
It rests upon an unknown foundation. The exterior walls are clad with vinyl siding and the roof
is covered with asphalt shingles. The windows throughout the building consist of modern
replacement windows. An enclosed porch addition has closed in the ell on the façade. A single
central brick chimney pierces the ridgeline of the roof. The building has been modified with
vinyl siding and modern replacement windows since its original recordation in 1988. The
original driveway entered the property from County Rd 116 in 1988. At some point, the
driveway was abandoned and entry to the property is now from Oswald Farm Road at the rear
of the property, which has prompted a change in address.
The house is accompanied by two outbuildings including a frame garage and a frame
shed. The remaining original buildings, including a complex of barns and silos, that were
present on the property in 1988 are now demolished, which has left little of the original
farmstead remaining.
NRHP Evaluation: The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due
to its simple architectural design and displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type
of construction. There is little remaining of the original farmstead to suggest potential
eligibility. No intensive survey is recommended.
Assessment of Effects: Since the building is likely ineligible for listing in the NRHP a
historic property is not present. Therefore, an assessment of effects is not necessary for this
resource.

area north of Corcoran at 10015 Co Rd 116 (Figures 2 and 3). A form has been completed for
this resource and is included in Appendix A.
The one-story side gable building is of frame construction (Figures 11 and 12). It rests
upon a concrete block foundation. The exterior walls are clad with vinyl siding and the roof is
covered with asphalt shingles. The windows throughout the building consist of horizontal
sliding windows with a single pane to each side of the casing. A single central brick chimney
pierces the ridgeline of the roof. The building has typical features of the period that it was built.
The house is accompanied by one outbuilding including a frame garage that is situated
to the south of the house. The side gable building has an exterior clad with vinyl siding.
NRHP Evaluation: The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due
to its simple architectural design and displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type
of construction. No intensive survey is recommended.
Assessment of Effects: Since the building is likely ineligible for listing in the NRHP a
historic property is not present. Therefore, an assessment of effects is not necessary for this
resource.

CONCLUSIONS
Under contract with In Situ Archaeological Consulting, LLC, on behalf of their client
Stantec representing Brooklyn Park, NCS conducted a historic resources survey for the
proposed Tessman Ridge Development Project in Hennepin County, Minnesota (Figures 1-3).
The project, which lies within the City of Brooklyn Park in Hennepin County, consists of the
construction of new affordable housing on the property. The Project Area is located in Section
17 of Township (T) 119 North (N), Range (R) 21 West (W) in Hennepin County, Minnesota.
The Project Area is located on the north side of 85th Ave N and bounded on the west by College
Parkway and on the east by Tessman Parkway. The project, proposed to be funded through a
HUD grant, is subject to review of the HUD and must meet the requirements of Section 106 of
the National Historic Preservation Act. The project is also subject to review by the SHPO.
The investigation was conducted in two parts: historic resources (architectural) survey
and archaeological investigation. This report covers the results of the historic resources survey
of the entire area that may be affected by the proposed development of the project. The historic
resources investigations consisted of a systematic survey of all properties 45 years of age or
older that are situated within the proposed project site and an additional survey area surrounding
the project that may have a direct line-of-sight to the project, which is considered the APE for
this project. A literature review found that there are no NRHP listed or eligible properties in the
immediately surrounding area that may be affected by the project.
The APE for the current investigation includes the entire property containing the project
and an additional survey area surrounding the project that may have a direct line-of-sight to the
project. The APE is irregular in shape as some areas are blocked from having a direct line -of-
sight by intervening buildings and mature vegetation, while other areas are more open and the
potential for visibility extends a greater distance in these areas. The APE was determined based
on the areas with the highest potential to experience direct and indirect effects as a result of the
project. While some areas may experience indirect effects such as audible, dust, vibration, etc.,
these effects should be temporary and limited to the period of construction and will cease once
construction is completed. Visual effects should be the only lasting effect that could occur due
to the project.
The APE is somewhat sparsely populated since it is within a somewhat rural area north
of the city limits. However, it was found that only two older resources, both old farmstead, were
present within the APE. All other development was more recent with most structures less than
45 years of age. Based on historic mapping and aerials, the APE has changed over time as the
entire area was mostly devoid of structures, but during the 1970s development began to appear
throughout the area (Figures 5-6). The current investigation found that there are no existing
buildings within the project footprint. However, five resources 45 years of age or older were
identified in the APE for indirect effects.
As indicated above, two previously recorded resources were identified within the APE
during the literature review. These include the two previously mentioned farmsteads recorded
as HE-COC-005 and HE-COC-006. The properties were recorded in 1988. Baseline
documentation was collected for the five resources identified in the surrounding survey area,
which is included in Table 1 below. None of the buildings represent a particular significant style
24
of architecture and are generally plain in appearance. It was determined that the resources are
clearly ineligible for listing in the NRHP, so discussion for those resources is limited, but
includes the completion of inventory forms for these resources, which are provided in Appendix
A. Additionally, no intensive survey is recommended for the identified resources.
An assessment of effects was conducted and it was found that there are no NRHP listed
resources in the APE. Furthermore, there is a low likelihood of eligible resources that may be
in the APE. Therefore, NCS recommends that a determination of No Historic Properties
Affected is appropriate for the project.

Narrative Description
HE-COC-005 is a ca. 1914 residential dwelling that is situated in a rural area north of Corcoran at
10110 Co Rd No 116. This resource was previously recorded in 1988, but with minimal information on
the original form.
The two-story American Foursquare building is of frame construction. It rests upon an unknown
foundation. The exterior walls were clad with stucco at the time of the 1988 recordation but has since been
modified to have vinyl siding. The hipped roof is covered with asphalt shingles. The windows throughout
the building consist of double-hung one-over-one sash windows. A single brick chimney pierces the
ridgeline of the roof. The façade has a porch that has been enclosed and obscures some of the details of
the façade. The house has experienced some modifications, but appears to still retain original windows.
The house is accompanied by three outbuildings including a frame garage, a frame barn, and a
masonry-built silo. Four original buildings that were present on the property in 1988 are now demolished,
which has left little of the original farmstead remaining.
Statement of Significance
The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its simple architectural design and
displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type of construction. There is little remaining of
the original farmstead to suggest potential eligibility. No intensive survey is recommended.

Narrative Description
HE-COC-006 is a ca. 1900 residential dwelling that is situated in a rural area north of Corcoran at
19904 Oswald Farm Rd (originally recorded as 10110 Co Rd No 116). This resource was previously
recorded in 1988, but with minimal information on the original form.
The one-and-a-half-story gabled ell building is of frame construction. It rests upon an unknown
foundation. The exterior walls are clad with vinyl siding and the roof is covered with asphalt shingles.
The windows throughout the building consist of modern replacement windows. An enclosed porch
addition has closed in the ell on the façade. A single central brick chimney pierces the ridgeline of the
roof. The building has been modified with vinyl siding and modern replacement windows since its original
recordation in 1988. The original driveway entered the property from County Rd 116 in 1988. At some
point, the driveway was abandoned and entry to the property is now from Oswald Farm Road at the rear
of the property, which has prompted a change in address.
The house is accompanied by two outbuildings including a frame garage and a frame shed. The
remaining original buildings, including a complex of barns and silos, that were present on the property in
1988 are now demolished, which has left little of the original farmstead remaining.
Statement of Significance
The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its simple architectural
design and displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type of construction. There is little
remaining of the original farmstead to suggest potential eligibility. No intensive survey is recommended.

Statement of Significance
The building is unlikely to be eligible for listing in the NRHP due to its simple architectural
design and displaying no characteristics of a particular or unique type of construction. No intensive
survey is recommended.

Cultural Resource Specialist (NRCS Tennessee State Archaeologist)
I serve as the Tennessee NRCS Cultural Resources Specialist (CRS) completing both archaeology and
architectural reviews. I work as the NRCS CRS reviewing NRCS projects for compliance with Section 106
of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA). The NRCS administers several voluntary assistance
programs for soil, water, and related resource conservation activities available to multiple eligible groups.
These programs are related to several acts including the Agricultural Act of 2014, the Soil Conservation
and Domestic Allotment Act of 1935, the Flood Control Act of 1944, the Agricultural and Food Act of
1981, the Agriculture Credit Act, the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act, the Food,
Agriculture, Conservation and Trade Act of 1990, the Flood Control Act of 1936, the Food Act of 1985, the
Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996, and various executive and secretarial orders.
Through the agency conservation assistance programs and initiatives, there is a potential for the activities
to affect historic properties. These activities are subject to review under Section 106 of the NHPA, which
is typically conducted through use of a Programmatic Agreement between NRCS and the TN State
Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). I review NRCS projects to determine whether significant cultural
resources may exist within the area of potential effects. When necessary, I conduct field surveys to
determine if resources are present and aid in making a determination of effect on behalf of TN NRCS. All
reviews are tracked in a report that is presented annually to the TN SHPO. As the CRS, I am also
responsible for providing cultural resources training to field personnel across Tennessee on an annual
basis.

Industrial Archaeology is a mixture of History and Archaeology. It is the study of technological changes
during the Industrial Revolution. This information is many times lost due to the rapid changes in
technology and insufficient recording of the older processes that were left behind. In addition to the
processes and technologies used, the field focuses on the workforce used within the industries and
aspects of their lives including their residences. Many industries built company towns, whi le others drew
their workers from existing communities around the factories. Many immigrant communities formed and
the builders incorporated elements of the styling of their home countries into the architecture, which is
very recognizable on the surrounding landscapes. Therefore, the study of architecture, particularly
vernacular architecture, was a major focus of the curriculum. The documentation of historic structures
was a focal point of course activities. Courses were based on conducting historical research and
combining the research with findings in the field. This degree allowed me to combine my education in
History and Archaeology degrees to form a diverse set of skills to use in the work environment. Only two
schools in the world offer a Masters in Industrial Arch aeology. I attended a graduate level 6 week field
school with MTU at West Point Foundry studying the process of making military cannons during the 19th
century.
Industrial Archaeology M.S. Thesis
Title: The C.R. Patterson and Sons Company of Greenfield, Ohio: Survival and Adaptation of a Black -
Owned Company in the Vehicle Building Industry, 1865-1939.
This research involved the study of an escaped slave that made it to Ohio and started a carriage
company in the small town of Greenfield. Eventually, he inc luded his sons in the company and in 1915
the focus of the company turned to building automobiles. This placed Frederick Patterson in history as
being the first and only black automaker in the world. In 1919, unable to compete with the large auto
manufacturers, they began to build special purpose vehicles such as buses, trucks, hearses, and delivery
vans. They remained in business through the Great Depression until 1939 and the company passed
through three generations of the Patterson family. Many questions were analyzed during this study
ranging from racial relations, economic shifts, and the technical details of the vehicles and the factory.
This story had never been fully explored and this research provides the first comprehensive history of this
family and company that will be of interest to many audiences. Research conducted 10/08 to 12/09.

This BS in Archaeology is part of the continuing education partner program with Hocking College where I
received my AAS in Archaeology. The curriculum continued the Cultural Resource Man agement based
theme and prepared us for management positions in the CRM world. A large percentage of the classes in
the curriculum focused on the ability to conduct thorough historical research for use in investigations.
Historic structures are typically documented as part of historic archaeology, so training in this skill was
also a key part to the curriculum. The capstone of this degree was the requirement to complete
independent archaeological research and report on it in the form of an honors thesis.
I conducted excavations on an 1830s canal site in Hocking County, Ohio. This site was not constructed in
the traditional manner due to geological obstacles, and when compared to other canals in t he United
States, it is entirely unique. The towpath was cut into the cliff high above the water and included several
unusual features. This site required extensive excavation, surveying and mapping, and other
investigation. As portions of the site were located on a floodplain and several features were constructed
of soil, a major focus was placed on analyzing sediments and soils through methods such as coring and
grain size analysis. There were well over 100 features located along the 365-meter segment of towpath.
No records were left that documented the methods of construction or the pattern of use at the site. Using
a combination of archaeological field investigation techniques and historical research, the methods of
construction were determined and plausible use patterns were developed for the site. The research
gained considerable accolades in the archaeological community. Excavation and research took place
from 10/06 to 5/08.

Credits Earned: 113 Quarter hours
Major: Archaeology Honors: Magna Cum Laude
Relevant Coursework, Licenses and Certifications:
This AAS in Archaeology was designed to meet the needs of the Cultural Resource Management industry
in order to meet compliance standards for the National Historic Preservation Act. The curriculum was
chosen by a panel of representatives from several CRM firms in the Ohio region based on the skills an
ideal entry level archaeologist should know to be successful when entering the field. The curriculum
included a mixture of field, laboratory, and historical research classes. This, combined with real world
experience gained during the 11-week summer field school, allowed the students to easily compete for
positions against those that had already achieved a BA at other non-CRM based institutions.
Listing the combined curriculum of the AAS and BS, field classes included geoarchaeology, advanced
geoarchaeology, surveying and mapping using both a traditional transit and total station, geophysics,
historical architecture, and map reading and interpretation. Several laboratory classes were taught
including the analysis of ceramics, lithics, paleoethnobotany, cartography for archaeology, microwear
analysis, photography for archaeology, human osteology, and zooarchaeology. The combination AAS
and BS program built an extensive skill set to use in CRM or academic archaeological settings.

Relevant Coursework, Licenses and Certifications:
I began attending Wilmington College in 2002 as a History and Secondary Education major. Multiple
history and art history courses were taken while at Wilmington College. A study of various architectural
styles and elements were included in several of the art history courses. The original intention was to
teach history at the high school level. After two years, I realized that Archaeology would be a great
addition to my skill set, so I transferred to Hocking College to begin pursuing my first degree in
Archaeology. Although I really enjoy field Archaeology, I love to find ways to combine the results of
archaeological research with historical research to develop new interpretations to the past. I am equally
happy in the historical archives or in the field finding out information that has long been lost.

Additional Information:
Through my work experience and education, I have achieved proficiency with Microsoft Office
applications to include Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, and Powerpoint. I have also used programs such
as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Surfer, and GIS applications. I have used multiple software
packages for different tasks as needed and adapt easily to new software types. My typing skills are above
average and I am proficient with PC systems and email applications. Through military and academic
training, I am proficient with GPS units and surveying equipment (optical transit and total station). I have
also been trained in photography, both in the field and in laboratory environments and have used
photograph correction software, such as Adobe Photoshop. I am also proficient with flatbed scanners.
I have worked with prehistoric, historic, and industrial archaeological sites. My degrees and the research
that I have completed in academic and private sector settings have included all of these fields of
archaeology.
In 2015, I worked with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Abandoned Mine Land Program and
the federal Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to produce a historical documentary
video. The Dessecker Mine in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, was operated by twin brothers Marion and
Milton Dessecker from the 1940s into the 1970s. Originally a strip mine, the brothers later transitioned
into drift mining on the property that they owned. Together, the brothers created a fully operational mine
complex, most of which still stands. The abandoned mine has now become a hazard as unauthorized
visitation has increased over the years. The Ohio Abandoned Mine Land Program plans to reclaim the
site and make the area safe for the public. Following review of the project by the Ohio State Historic
Preservation Office, the mine complex was determined to be eligible for listing in the National Register of
Historic Places. Based on this determination, some form of mitigation was necessary. Creative mitigation
was used in this case by producing a documentary video that preserves the story and images of the
Dessecker Mine Complex for the enjoyment and education of future generations. I developed the creative
mitigation idea and was ultimately responsible for the archival research, narrative development, and
general direction of the video production. A copy of the video, titled "Ohio’s Hidden Mine" is available on
YouTube and other media sources.
Participating in public outreach, I formerly served on the Board of Directors of the Council for West
Virginia Archaeology. We aid in establishing events and awareness during West Virginia Archaeology
Month, as well as dealing with archaeological issues that arise within the state. Recently, I organized the
CWVA annual spring workshop that discussed the role of technology in archaeology. I invited speakers
from several states who are experts in their fields to discuss how newer technologies can be used to
solve archaeological problems.
I have consulted with several non-profit groups/parks in the Ohio/West Virginia area on how to approach
interpretation of their sites. In 2010, the Friends of Mountwood Park, near Parkersburg, WV, contacted
me about interpreting the first oil boom town in WV (Volcano). After several site visits and quite a bit of
research, I was able to advise them on what approach they should take and have set them up with a local
archaeological field school which has now agreed to a multi-year survey and excavation project at the
now defunct ghost town. The information recovered during the excavations will lead to new ideas for the
site interpretation at Mountwood Park. Before each season's excavations, I taught an Introduction to
Archaeology seminar, which was free and open to the public. An average of 40 participants attended
each class and applied the knowledge that was discussed to the excavations at the site while
volunteering during the excavations. Dozens of Boy Scouts were in attendance and were able to attain
their Archaeology badges to apply toward their Eagle Scout status.
I have presented my research to different groups on several occasions in the past. This has included
lecturing about and giving tours of sites to groups of students and presenting my work in front of my
professional peers in local environments, such as the Ohio Archaeological Council, and wide spread
environments, such as the annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. While working
excavations at the West Point Foundry in New York when I was with Michigan Tech, I was respons ible for
public interaction and giving talks about the excavations that were currently in progress at the foundry. I
explained the history and processes that took place at the foundry as well as the current research and its
importance.
During my research, I have developed a trend toward studying transportation and sites related to
transportation activities. I have considerable experience with canals, carriages, automobiles, buses and
trucks, and railroads. I have become known in the archaeological/historian community as being a
transportation historian. Recently, an adaptation of my MS thesis from Michigan Tech was published as a
book for the general public.
During February 2011, I was invited to Washington DC by the Association for the Study of African
American Life and History to present my newly published book at the 95th Annual Black History Month
Luncheon. I was one of the Featured Authors at the luncheon and was able to present a little -known
piece of history to a large audience of historians and lay persons alike. I have also conducted radio
interviews and several newspaper articles have been published about my work. In March 2011,
Empowering Ideas, an internet-based radio show (www.rocktheflow.com) based in Washington
DC/Maryland, gave me an hour long interview about my work and the Patterson story. It was a great
opportunity to inform the public about historic preservation and the fact that history is all around us, but
can easily be forgotten if not kept alive in the public eye.

Project: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran
Water Supply HUD EA
Date: January 9, 2024
Reference: City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland Impact 8-Step Process
Step 1: Determine whether the action is located in 100-year floodplain (or a 500-year floodplain for
critical actions) or wetland.
This project supports the City of Corcoran's efforts to provide a safe, clean and reliable drinking water to a
significant portion of the City. The project includes the extension of 16- and 20-inch diameter water main,
and 30-inch dia. sanitary sewer. This project will supply raw water to a water treatment plant (Plant) and
treated water to a water tower (Tower). The Plant and the Tower were developed as separate projects and
are both currently under construction. This project will distribute treated water to existing city businesses
and residents. The sanitary sewer will be extended to the water treatment facility to allow for the backwash
water from the treatment facility to be discharged to the Met Council wastewater system. The raw water
main and the sewer pipe will be constructed adjacent to and in conjunction with the treated water main.
Types of work anticipated with this project include: ground disturbance to install the water main and sanitary
sewer underground and removal of trees and shrubs for the installation of pipes.
This action is located in a 100-year floodplain and a wetland. A small segment of the extension of 16- and
20-inch diameter water main and 30-inch diameter sanitary sewer that extends northeast to the new
residential development at Hunter’s Ridge is located within Zone A (area of special flood hazard with water
surface elevations determined) as indicated on Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) Panel 43 of 500 no.
27053C0043F, revised November 4, 2013. Figure 1 in Attachment 1 shows the project area and the FIRM
map is also provided as Figure 2. The project is also anticipated to be located within a wetland (Freshwater
Emergent Wetland habitat classified as PEM1C) as mapped on the Fish and Wildlife Service- National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI) in Figure 3.
While the project will occur within 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain, the project will
not alter the existing topography or elevation as all ground disturbances will be restored to existing
conditions once the water main and the sanitary sewer have been installed underground. Additionally,
native seeding will be used to ensure full restoration of the area disturbed due to the project. There are no
permanent or long-term impacts anticipated to the wetland or the floodplain due to this project. This 2.6
acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain are temporary impacts and fall under the no loss
section of Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H.

Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
Step 2: Notify the public for early review of the proposal and involve the affected and interested
public in the decision-making process.
A public notice describing the project was published in the Crow River News, the local and regional paper,
on August 17, 2023. The ad targeted local residents, including those in the floodplain and wetland. The
notice was also sent to interested Federal, State, local agencies, and non-profit groups. Agencies included
the Hennepin County, MN floodplain managers, Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources,
Department of Natural Resources, and Department of Housing and Urban Development. A list of specific
agencies and individuals and a copy of the published notification is kept in the project’s environmental
review record and attached to this document (Attachment 2). The required 15 calendar days were allowed
for public comment. As required by regulation, the notice also included the name, proposed location and
description of the activity, total number of floodplain and wetland acres involved, and the responsible entity
contact for information (Jay Tobin [City of Corcoran, City Administrator], HUD Environmental Coordinator
under Part 58) as well as the location and hours of the office at which a full description of the proposed
action can be viewed.
No comments were received related to the project actions or impacts.
Step 3: Identify and evaluate practicable alternatives.
a) Locate the Project Within the Floodplain and Wetland (Selected alternative)
This project only has one proposed build alternative given that the watermain extension pipes have to
connect with the water tower by Hope Community Church at the end of Oswald Farm Road and the new
water treatment facility just north of Hunters Ridge on the eastside of Fletcher Lane/County State Aid
Highway (CSAH) 116. Additionally, the watermain and sanitary extension pipes would have to connect to
the new residential development occurring at the eastern terminus of Hunters Ridge (Figure 1).
The purpose of the proposed project is to provide safe water to the residents and businesses in Corcoran.
With the water tower and water treatment plant locations already determined, there were limited alternative
options that minimized impact to existing infrastructures. This build alternative has been determined to have
the least amount of impact to existing areas, resources, and infrastructure and the proposed alternative was
developed to ensure no changes to the topography or elevation of the area to impact floodplains or wetland
while meeting the project purpose and need. No permanent or long-term impacts to the wetland or the
floodplain are anticipated due to this project. This temporary impact falls under the no loss section of
Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H. 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8
acres of 100-year floodplain fall within the project construction limit.
Additionally, the City has been planning to construct a new water tower and water treatment plant to help
support water needs for its residents and businesses for decades. However, the City was unable to move
forward with its plans due to limited funding. Similarly, the proposed extension of the watermain and
sanitary sewer pipes have also been in the works for decades. Due to the length of time spent in the
planning phase, the City and its community members have well been aware of the needs for the extension
of new watermain and sanitary sewer pipes in the area.
b) Locate the Project Outside of the Floodplain and Wetland
January 9, 2024

Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
As shown in Figure 1, the purpose of this project is to build watermain and sanitary sewer pipes that
connect to the existing pipe systems. Due to the location of existing network of watermain and sanitary
sewer pipes, the water tower, and the water treatment plant, other location alternatives would have
increased environmental impacts and ground disturbance given the indirect extension of pipes to partially
avoid the floodplain and the wetland; the existing watermain and sanitary sewer pipes for the residential
development east of Hunters Ridge’s eastern terminus.
c) No Action or Alternative Actions that Serve the Same Purpose
No action was not an option given that without the proposed improvements - extension of the watermain
and sanitary pipes to connect to the water tower, water treatment plant, and existing pipe networks-
Corcoran residents and businesses east of Hunters Ridge would not have access to safe and clean water.
The City’s ability to purchase water at the quantity required is no longer available. Without this project, the
City of Corcoran will be unable to provide additional water service in this area of the community.
Step 4: Identify Potential Direct and Indirect Impacts of Associated with Floodplain Development.
The nature of this project does not require the construction of infrastructure above ground. The watermain
and sanitary sewer extensions will be all underground. No permanent or long-term impacts to the wetland
or the floodplain are anticipated due to this project. This temporary impact falls under the no loss section of
Wetland Conservation Act (WCA), Minnesota Rule (MR) 8420.0415, Item H. 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8
acres of 100-year floodplain fall within the project construction limit.
This project is not anticipated to have any direct or indirect impacts to the floodplain or wetland upon
completion.
Step 5: Where practicable, design or modify the proposed action to minimize the potential adverse
impacts to lives, property, and natural values within the floodplain and to restore, and preserve the
values of the floodplain
The project will not alter the existing topography or elevation as all ground disturbances will be restored to
existing conditions once the watermain and the sanitary sewer pipes have been installed. Additionally,
native seeding will be used to ensure full restoration of the area disturbed due to the project.
Step 6: Reevaluating the Alternatives
While the project will occur within 2.6 acres of wetland and 1.8 acres of 100-year floodplain, the project will
not alter the existing topography or elevation. All ground disturbances will be restored to existing conditions
once the water main and the sanitary sewer have been installed underground. Additionally, the proposed
improvements have been discussed for decades but have not proceeded because of lack of funding
sources. With no public comments received and no long- or short-term impacts anticipated, this remains to
be the best and only option.
A No Action is not an option as there are developments already occurring east of Hunters Ridge and
without this project, Corcoran community members will not have access to water.

Reference: B-23-CP-MN-0883 - City of Corcoran Water Supply HUD EA Floodplain and Wetland 8-Step Process
Step 7: Determination of No Practicable Alternative
It is the City of Corcoran’s determination that there is no practicable alternative for partially or entirely
locating the project outside of the flood zone and wetland. This is due to: 1) the need to provide water to
communities and businesses east of Hunters Ridge; 2) this project has been planned for decades and only
be prolonged due to lack of funding; and 3) the watermain and sanitary sewer extensions provide a
connection between the water tower and the water treatment plant.
The City plans to publish a final notice in accordance with HUD’s EA Floodplain and Wetland Impact 8-Step
Process. This final notice will be published concurrently with the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)
and will be posted consistent with the prior notice. The notice explains the reasons why the modified project
must be located in the floodplain, shares why other alternatives were not considered and a No Action was
dismissed at Steps 3 and 6, and describes all mitigation measures at Step 5 taken to minimize adverse
impacts and preserve natural and beneficial floodplain values. The notice is attached to this document. No
concerns were expressed by the public concerning this notice.
Step 8: Implement the Proposed Action
The City will assure that this plan, as modified and described above, is executed and necessary language
will be included in all agreements with participating parties. The city will also take an active role in
monitoring the construction process to ensure no unnecessary impacts occur nor unnecessary risks are
taken and all appropriate permits have been obtained for all project related activities, which includes the no
loss permit.

Pay Equity Report 2023
Action Required
Approval
Summary
State law requires all public jurisdictions to complete a pay equity report once every three
years. The City of Corcoran last reported in 2021 and is required to do so again by
January 31, 2024.
According to the Minnesota Office of Management and Budget (MMB), Pay Equity is a
method of eliminating discrimination against women who are paid less than men for jobs
requiring comparable levels of expertise. This goes beyond the familiar idea of equal pay
for equal work where men and women with the same jobs must be paid equally. A policy to
establish pay equity usually means:
1. That all jobs will be evaluated and given points according to the level of
knowledge and responsibility required to do the job.
2. That salary adjustments will be made if it is discovered that women are
consistently paid less than men for jobs with similar points.
All public jurisdictions must report employees who work at least 67 days per year to
include part-time positions. The spreadsheet used for reporting was provided by the MMB.
The information in the report is public.
The MMB has reviewed our submitted data and stated we are in compliance based on the
T-test results. The City will receive our Notice to Post within the next two months. The next
step is to receive City Council approval of the attachments and once received post the
compliance notice for 90 days.
Financial/Budget
The MMB found the City of Corcoran in compliance, which means no changes in
compensation will be required by State.
Council Action
Approve the pay equity report as presented and direct staff to post the required notice.

Finance Associate, she will make a copy of the supporting documentation and attach it to the form. The Finance
Associate will setup a new customer, if needed, or enter the existing customer account number. A des cription of the
charges to be invoiced and the dollar amount are entered. Once all of the accounts receivable invoice requests are
entered, the Finance Associate will generate a register which lists out the invoices to be issued, along with the general
ledger coding. The Finance Associate will review the register for accuracy and then print two copies of the invoice on
plain paper. One copy will be mailed to the customer and the second copy will be attached to the form and supporting
documentation and will be retained by the Finance Department for the appropriate retention period.
See also Cash Receipt section for information on the collection of an accounts receivable invoice.
Beyond the general accounts receivable procedures explained above, departments are using the following procedures to
administer accounts receivable.
Police
The Police department tracks reserve time worked in a spreadsheet. At the end of the month, the Administrative
Assistant will complete the request for an accounts receivable invoice form and the Police Chief will sign the form. This
form, along with a break-down of the hours, officers, and other supporting information will be sent to Finance for further
processing.
Ice Arena
Ice Arena staff track the ice time rentals in Excel. This is necessary because the RecPro software that is used for
scheduling is cumbersome to update and make changes. The spreadsheet lists each day of the year in blocks of 15
minute increments. The spreadsheet information is entered into RecPro and the software will calculate the fees based on
the hourly rates established in the system for prime and non-prime time. At the end of the month, staff will generate a
report from RecPro detailing the amount to be billed. Manual edits are necessary due to the challenges in changing the
schedule in RecPro. Once the adjustments have been made, an invoice is generated. The invoices are turned into Finance
along with a request to invoice form and Finance will bill the customer.
Ice Arena staff are not always notified of non-payment and so it can be hard to know when an ice time invoice has gone
unpaid and management should discontinue rental privileges.
Liquor
The liquor store carries very little accounts receivable; however, any accounts receivable that is generated will be tracked
in the liquor store’s software, RMS. On the first of each month, RMS will close out the prior month’s activity and the
system will automatically generate statements. The accounts receivable information is sent to Finance for further
processing.

Findings
Finding 1 Condition: Manual processes exist within the Accounts Receivable process.
Criteria: Automated processes (workflow) are the most efficient way to process
accounting transactions.
Cause: Past practice.
Effect: Paper forms must be completed and submitted manually to the Finance
department, or individuals must electronically complete the form for submission.
Recommendation: Decentralize the accounts receivable process to allow department users to input
their accounts receivable and attach supporting documentation. Finance should
retain the control to post invoices after proper review of general ledger coding,
the accounting period and other qualifications. The printing, mailing and
management of aged receivables should be retained by the Finance department.
In addition, the Finance department should continue to maintain a listing of
monthly accounts receivable invoices to be issued to ensure that invoices are not
overlooked.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: Additional licenses may be needed to provide department users access to the
accounts receivable module.
Finding 2 Condition: The systems utilized by some departments for accounts receivable management
are inefficient, lack integration and do not adequately support the department’s
needs.
Criteria: Ideally, an organization’s software will support the majority of the organization’s
accounting and tracking needs without the use of spreadsheets and other
manual processes.
Cause: The City has not yet considered other solutions that may better support
departmental needs.
Effect: Lack of an integrated solution results in the management of several
spreadsheets and other manual systems to track operating activity. This results
in additional staff time spent managing manual processes, updating records and
increases the risk of error.
Recommendation: Consider further outlining departmental business processes and the related
software requirements. Consider these needs within a comprehensi ve software
evaluation for the organization so that software systems are right-sized for the
organization. By taking an organization-wide approach to software decisions, it
can help to ensure that end user needs are met and the organization operates
efficiently with integrated solutions that minimize the need for work arounds or
manual processes.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: The City may incur consultant fees if they outsource the review of business
processes and development of software specifications.
Sample
6
Findings (Continued)
Finding 3 Condition: Accounts receivable aging reports and procedures for the collection of aged
receivables are not circulated routinely.
Criteria: Departments are not aware when accounts receivable invoices become
delinquent.
Cause: Unknown need.
Effect: Departments are not aware when accounts receivable invoices become
delinquent and may continue to provide services to customers with past due
charges, exposing the City to additional risk that uncollectible amounts may
increase.
Recommendation: Send an accounts receivable aging report to all departments monthly and
circulate the collection procedures periodically so that departments remain
aware of the steps taken to collect on past due charges.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: The staff time required to complete this task can be minimized by scheduling the
accounts receivable aging report to automatically generate on a monthly basis.

findings are not presented.

Accounts Payable
Sample
10
Accounts Payable
Objective:
To review, document and evaluate the procedures associated with the Accounts Payable transaction cycle.
Procedures:
Accounts payable invoices are received by individual departments. If an accounts payable invoice is received at City hall,
it will be sent via interoffice mail or placed in the appropriate department’s mailbox. Each department has a slightly
different process and workflow for accounts payable, which are discussed further.
Library
The Library Clerk II processes accounts payable invoices for the Library and IT Departments bi -weekly.
Upon receipt of an invoice, the Library Clerk II will make a copy of the document. Next, the Library Clerk II will open an
Excel workbook to create a label for the invoice. Basic information is input into the Excel label template, including: date to
be paid, vendor, invoice number, general ledger account number, and invoice amount. There is a line on the label where
the Library Director will initial to indicate that the invoice is approved for payment. There is also a box to check off tha t
the invoice has been entered into Incode.
The label is printed and affixed to the invoice. The invoices are provided to the Library Director for review and approval.
Once approved, the Library Director will initial the label and return the invoice(s) to the Library Clerk II for entry in Incode.
The fields of data entry include: date, vendor, invoice amount, general ledger account number, and invoice number. Once
the invoice has been entered into Incode, the Library Clerk II will check the box on the label to indicate the invoice has
been entered.
The Library Clerk II will print a register from Incode which lists all of the invoices paid. The register along with a secon d
copy of the invoices will be sent to the Finance Department via interoffice mail or directly placed in their mailbox for
further processing. The second copy of the invoice is scanned into Laserfiche and retained for the appropriate period of
time. The paper copies are retained for one year and then scanned to a flash drive and the paper cop y is destroyed.
Human Resources and Communications
The Human Resource Specialist and Communications Specialist receive the invoices for their respective departments.
The invoices are saved as PDF documents in a folder accessible to the department, and coded by the HR Specialist or
Communications Specialist. The Communications and HR Director signs off on the invoice. The Human Resources
Specialist or Communications Specialist will login to Incode, select the vendor, input the general ledger account code s,
the amount to be paid, the general ledger date, and description. The accounts payable packet is created and a register is
produced. The invoices are saved in a folder on the shared drive where the Finance department can access it for further
processing.
Facilities
The Facilities Department processes invoices for multiple departments. Invoices may be received by the Facilities
Manager directly via mail or email, or they may be received by the Public Works Administrative Assistant and then routed
to the Facilities Manager for review via interoffice mail or email. Other times, the invoices will be received at City hall and
then placed in the Facilities Manager’s mailbox. Any invoices received by email are printed for further processing.
Once an invoice is received by the Facilities Manager he will write the general ledger account number on the invoice and
initial it to indicate his approval. At times, the Facilities Technician will break down the invoice into various general le dger
accounting codes based on the items ordered for each department. It is not always apparent how a particular department
may want shared invoices coded and the Facilities Manager or Technician may need to reach out to discuss this with the
appropriate department staff. Once coded and appro ved, the invoice is then given to the Administrative Assistant at
Public Works for further processing. See also Public Works.
Sample
11
Public Works
The Public Works Department receives invoices in the mail or by email. Any invoices received by email are printed for
further processing. Invoices will be given to the Public Works Director / Engineer or the Street Supervisor for general
ledger account coding and approval. Once approved, the Administrative Assistant will enter the invoices into Incode.
Invoices from the Facilities Manager will also be input. Upon completion, the Administrative Assistant will print the
register and review to ensure that everything was properly entered. If everything has been entered correctly, the invoices
and register will be sent to Finance for further processing. A copy is not retained in the Public Works Department.
Utilities
The Utilities Supervisor can approve invoices up to $10,000 and his supervisors can approve invoices up to $5,000. The
Utilities Supervisor will review, sign off, and general ledger code invoices prior to submitting them to the Administrative
Assistant in Public Works / Engineering.
Police
The Police Department receives invoices in the mail or by email. Any invoices received by email are printed for further
processing. Bi-weekly, invoices are reviewed and entered into Incode by the Administrative Assistant. The first step in the
process to enter the invoices is to search for the vendor. Often times there are duplicates and it is difficult to tell which
vendor should be selected. If so, the Administrative Assistant will call Finance to determine the appropriate vendor to
use. The fields of data entry include: date, vendor, invoice amount, general ledger account nu mber, and invoice number.
Once all of the invoices have been entered, the Administrative Assistant will provide them to the Chief of Police for review
and approval. If the Chief of Police requires any revisions, he will communicate them to the Administra tive Assistant who
will make the changes in Incode. After all revisions have been made, a register is printed and attached to the invoices.
The invoices are scanned and saved on a network drive before they are sent to Finance for further processing.
Community Development
Invoices are received by multiple individuals in the Community Development Department. When an individual receives an
invoice for processing they will scan it and save it to the shared network drive. Alternatively, they can email it t o the
Administrative Assistant. If the general ledger account number was not provided by the staff member submitting the
invoice for payment, the Administrative Assistant will select the account number. The Administrative Assistant will enter
all invoices into Incode. If the invoice is related to an escrow, the appropriate information will be input into the escrow
tracking spreadsheet. Upon completion, a register is printed and the register, along with the invoices are sent to the
Community Development Director, electronically, for approval. Once approved, the packet of information is sent to
Finance for further processing.
Liquor
With rare exception, all invoices related to the liquor operations are received directly by the Liquor Operations Manager.
Most are provided by the vendor at the time supplies are delivered. The Liquor Operations Manager will handwrite the
date to be paid and his initials on each invoice. The invoice will be entered into the Liquor point -of-sale software to
establish the cost basis and inventory record. From there, the Liquor Operations Manager will enter the invoice in Incode.
A copy of the invoice is made and the original invoice, along with a register printed from Incode are sent to Finance for
further processing. The Liquor Operations Manager files the second copy of the invoice at the Liquor Store and retains
them for a period of two years.
Sample
12
City Clerk
The Administrative Assistant processes all accounts payable invoices for the four people in the Administration
department. In addition, she enters the invoice for legal services, on behalf of all City departments. Certain invoices are
given to the City Clerk for initial review (office supplies), while others are given to the City Administrator for initial review
(purchasing card statements). Generally, the Administrative Assistant will review, document the general ledger
accounting code, and route the invoices to the appropriate supervisor or director approval; the invoices explained above
will also receive approval of the City Clerk or City Administrator. Once all invoices have been approved (signed) and
returned to the Administrative Assistant, she will enter them into Incode. Upon completion, the Administrative Assistant
will generate a register, an accounts payable packet and confirm the dollar amounts entered are correct. The printed
register, along with the original invoices are provided to Finance for further processing. The Administration department
does keep paper copies of most of the invoices for their records.
Due to COVID-19 remote work procedures, the above approvals have switched from being done manually (passing paper
between individuals) to electronic (with electronic sign off and general ledger coding) for the interim.
Purchasing Cards
To make a purchase with a purchasing card, the user must go to the City’s intranet site, print out a request form, and once
completed, the request form will go to the City Administrator and Finance Director for approval. Once approved, the
individual will obtain the card from Finance. All receipts must be retained by the individual card holder and photocopied
for Finance. At the end of the month, card holders will review their statement, ensure all receipts are attached, provide th e
general ledger account coding, sign off and turn in the statement to their supervisor for approval. Once approved by the
supervisor or department director, the statement and corresponding receipts will be given to the Administrative Assistant
to be entered into the department’s accounts payable packet.
Finance Procedures
The deadline for Departments to complete their accounts payable packet and turn it into the Finance Associate II is
Monday at noon. Each department will turn in their accounts payable register to the Finan ce Associate II, along with the
original invoices.
The Finance Associate II will check the invoice date, posting date, description and general ledger accounting code, one -by-
one, by checking each invoice against the register. If the Finance Associate II is questioning the coding on any of the
invoices, she will place a note on the invoice for the Accounting Supervisor’s review. The Finance Associate II will
document any error on the register so that the notes may be given to the originating department after the Accounting
Supervisor completes her review. Additionally, the Finance Associate II documents changes that were made (general
ledger accounting code, description, etc.) so that the originating department is aware of the change. The Finance
Associate II will keep these reports until the Accounting Supervisor’s review is complete in the even there are additional
changes or comments to share.
In addition to reviewing general ledger coding and other data entry points, the Finance Associate II and the Accounting
Supervisor must also review to ensure that proper approvals have taken place and are documented. Approval authority is
dependent on the department and level of staff (i.e. supervisor or department director). The City Administrator must sign
off on all claims over $10,000, as well as the legal invoice.
The invoices will be sorted alphabetically and given to the Accounting Supervisor. The Accounting Supervisor will check
the general ledger accounting codes and ensure each invoice has the appropriate approvals. If the Accounting Supervisor
requests changes, she will pull the invoice and place it at the top of the stack with notes for the Finance Associate II.
Once reviewed, the Accounting Supervisor will give these documents back to the Finance Associate II who will make any
requested changes, run a new register and re-alphabetize the invoices. The new register is archived and the packet with
the original register is given to the Accounting Supervisor for a final review. Once reviewed, the packet is given back to
the Finance Associate II and the original register will be shred (an archived register has been saved electronically in
Incode).
Now that the Accounting Supervisor has approved the claims, the register with notes will be sent to the supervisor for the
department first, and then to the administrative assistant responsible for entering the accounts payable.
Sample
13
Finance Procedures (Continued)
The packet is merged into a single file, checks are printed and an ACH file is prepared. The Finance Associate II will give
the ACH paper work to the Accounting Supervisor for review. Once approved, the Accounting Supervisor will verbally
notify the Finance Associate II to that the ACH were approved. The Accounting Supervisor will transmit the ACH
payments; however, the Finance Associate II will send out an electronic notification to vendors notifying them of the ACH
payment. The checks are placed into envelopes and mailed weekly. The accounts payable packet is then closed and
posted.
Any invoices that did not have proper authorization are re-routed to the correct departments for signature. Once they are
received back by finance, they are filed.
The Accounting Supervisor will generate an accounts payable report for the City Council’s approval bi-weekly.
Paper invoices are saved in banker’s boxes by check number. The Finance Department has discontinued scanning
accounts payable records into Laserfiche as it is cost prohibitive.
Sample
14
Findings
Finding 1 Condition: At times, department staff report coding invoices based on available budget
versus using the proper accounting code.
Criteria: It is important the expenses be coded accurately to reduce the risk of a material
audit adjustment. In addition, consistent coding practices will help to ensure that
historical expenditure records provide accurate information on trends.
Cause: Department staff are concerned about budget overages.
Effect: By coding things based on available budget versus the proper accounting, the
City is at increased risk for a material misstatement of the financials and the
integrity of historical expenditure information may be impacted.
Recommendation: Consult with management about the importance of coding expenditures based
on the proper accounting code and consistently from one period to the next.
Explain that budget amendments or department/fund-level rather than line-item
budgeting may help to buffer some overages in various budget line items.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: There is no cost to implement this recommendation.
Finding 2 Condition: End users report having to tab through multiple unused fields when entering
accounts payable and customer user interfaces have not been implemented to
address these challenges.
Criteria: Custom user interface design can be very valuable in reducing the amount of
time spent by users interacting with the accounting system to complete
transactions.
Cause: Unknown opportunity or limitations of the current system.
Effect: Staff spend extra time trying to complete processes.
Recommendation: The City should consult with Incode about the option to setup custom user
interfaces.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: The cost to implement this benefit is unknown.

Accounts Payable Future State
During a process evaluation, a future process recommendation, along with the process mapping, would be provided.
Sample
21
Capital Assets
Sample
22
Capital Assets
Objective:
To review, document and evaluate the procedures associated with the Capital Assets transaction cycle.
Procedures:
Annually, in October or November, the Accounting Supervisor will begin the process of identifying asset acquisitions.
To begin, a report is generated from Incode which details all transactions recorded to the capital outlay general ledger
codes. The data does not export clean to Excel and so the report is reviewed and any acquisitions that are identified are
typed into a capital asset Excel spreadsheet. If an asset is split between multiple funds, it will be split out in the Excel
spreadsheet accordingly.
At the time the purchase is keyed into the spreadsheet, the Accounting Supervisor is checking to ensure the item was
properly coded. If not, a reclass entry is initiated.
A copy of the invoice is made and a data entry sheet is prepared (in Exc el and then printed) and attached to the invoice.
The data entry sheet will include information such as: vehicle identification number, expense account, asset description,
department, asset category (vehicle, equipment or machinery), and any other informa tion that will be needed for entry into
the Incode fixed asset module.
Once the capital asset spreadsheet is complete and the data entry sheets have all been created, the Accounting
Supervisor will begin to update the Incode fixed asset module. There is no integration between accounts payable and the
fixed asset module, so assets will be keyed into the Incode fixed asset module based on the information present on the
data entry sheet.
The depreciation calculations generated by the Incode fixed asset modu le are not accurate and, therefore, the capital
asset Excel spreadsheet is used to calculate depreciation and track asset values and accumulated depreciation.
For construction projects, the process is similar; however, construction projects are only recor ded in the Incode fixed
asset module upon completion. During the construction in progress phase, the expenses are tracked in the capital asset
Excel workbook. The process of updating the construction in progress records begins in June and the tracking wo rkbook
is updated as time allows.
Reconciliation of Insured Assets
Annually, the City Clerk will update the vehicle spreadsheet and send it out to departments for review, asking them to
check the title information as well as to ensure it’s recorded with the appropriate department. Generally, the City Clerk
receives notice of asset purchases from Finance to ensure that assets are properly added to insurance.
Sample
23
Findings
Finding 1 Condition: The fixed asset module is not fully integrated.
Criteria: Manual processes for tracking fixed asset activity are less efficient.
Cause: The City has been unable to dedicate additional resources to fully integrate the
Incode fixed asset module and the depreciation calculations are not accurate,
requiring research and correction.
Effect: Additional staff time is spent manually tracking fixed asset activity; the City
incurs additional cost for consultants to support this activity.
Recommendation: The City should fully integrate a fixed assets module and utilize all features,
including the calculation of depreciation and accumulations.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: There is no additional cost to procure the module, as the City does already own it.
Additional staff or consultant time is necessary to clean up the fixed asset list
and depreciation calculations.
Finding 2 Condition: Identification of capital asset additions and disposals is not done consistently as
part of month or quarter-end procedures.
Criteria: Best practice procedures are to identify fixed asset additions and disposals
quarterly.
Cause: Unknown opportunity.
Effect: By implementing procedures to scan for fixed asset additions and disposals
throughout the year it can help to ensure accurate interim financial reports,
reduce the risk of missed additions at year-end and help to avoid a bottleneck of
year-end activities in preparation for the annual audit.
Recommendation: Add the task of scanning for capital asset additions and disposals to the City’s
quarter-end procedures.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: There is no cost to implement this recommendation.
* During a process evaluation, additional fin dings would be presented. For purposes of this sample document, additional
findings are not presented.

Utility Billing
Objective:
To review, document and evaluate the procedures associated with the Utility Billing transaction cycle.
Procedures:
Meters are read on the first of the month and uploaded into Incode. After upload, the Finance Associate can view the
readings on each account and run a report to check for zero, unread and other meter reading issues. The utility staff will
also generate a report from the meter software to look for reading issues that must be resolved. Over the subsequent
three weeks, the utility department and the Finance Associate will research and resolve reading issues.
The Finance department will create a work order for each account turnover. Daily requests are received from customers,
companies, and realtors to process a final meter reading and bill. The work order for a final bill is sent via email to the
Water department. Once the meter has been read, the return the email with the reading. Final bills are generated daily.
Next, the Finance Associate will process and recycling or garbage cart changes. A change form is updated and sent t o
the garbage company. The cart size and date of the change will be entered into the maintenance section of the
customer’s account in Incode. These changes are entered into the utility billing module daily.
Once all changes have been processed, the Finance Associate will run a bill calculation. A bill register will load on her
screen and she will proceed to review bill amounts for reasonableness. The statement bills are printed first and the
Finance Associate will place them in envelopes.
Next, the Finance Associate will run the in-house auto draft accounts. There are less than 1,000 customers enrolled in
this program. The bills are printed and then placed into envelopes for mailing.
The third batch of bills are those that do not require a remittance envelope. They get boxed up and sent with envelopes to
a third party for placement into envelopes and mailing.

Findings
Finding 1 Condition: Workflows related to utility work orders are manual in nature.
Criteria: Automated workflows for work orders are the most efficient.
Cause: The City’s current software system does not provide the desired solution and/or
the appropriate enhancements have not been deployed.
Effect: Without an electronic workflow solution, staff must route and monitor the
movement of work orders manually. This may result in duplication of effort,
redundancy, and decreased transparency surrounding the status of work order
resolution. Manual processes also lead to inefficiencies, for example: staff time
spent tracking down work order status or answering applicant questions about
the status of approval.
Recommendation: Consider developing specifications for a more automated and integrated
solution. Consult with the City’s software vendor as to their ability to meet the
software requirements and also consider sending the specifications out under a
request for proposal to ensure the City has considered all options available in the
market to select the most integrated solution.
Cost to
Implement/Benefit: The software cost will be dependent on many variables including cloud, premise
or subscription-based service. The City will be able to consider cost, along with
functionality and other factors in their decision making process.
* During a process evaluation, additional fin dings would be presented. For purposes of this sample document, additional
findings are not presented.

ACCOUNTANT'S COMPILATION REPORT
Honorable Mayor and City Council
City of Sample
City, Minnesota
We have compiled the accompanying statement of revenues and expenditures for the General Fund and
statements of revenues and expenses for the enterprise funds of the City of Sample as of December 31, 20XX for
the quarter then ended. We have not audited or reviewed the accompanying financial statements and, accordingly,
do not express an opinion or provide any assurance about whether the financial statements are in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and for designing, implementing,
and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements.
Our responsibility is to conduct the compilation in accordance with Statements on Standards for Accounting and
Review Services issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The objective of a compilation is
to assist management in presenting financial information in the form of financial statements without undertaking to
obtain or provide any assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial
statements.
Management has elected to omit substantially all of the disclosures and the statement of cash flows required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. If the omitted disclosures and the
statement of cash flows were included in the financial statements, they might influence the user's conclusions
about the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial
statements are not designed for those who are not informed about such matters.
Sincerely,
Abdo Financial Solutions
