This article indicated your intention to relocate your house and stabilize your bluff as we have discussed over the past several months. It also indicated that your future plans include converting your house from a single family residence to a "corporate retreat for business meetings and the like" which is something I don't recall discussing with you. . Please be advised that under the provisions of the Shoreland Management Ordinance of Otter Tail County, only single family residences and agricultural uses are considered as being permitted uses within Shoreland Areas of the County. This means that in order for you to operate a "corporate retreat" onsite, a Conditional Use Permit from Otter Tail County may be required. Since this is the case, please contact me (218-739-2271 ext. 225) on or before March 26, 1997 so that we may discuss this matter further. Sincerely, Bill Kalar Administrator OF Wednesday, March 5. 1997 A9 Hs apparently opted to make it someone else’s problem and the land and home were sold to Brandt Properties Inc. Based on information provided by the Otter Tail County Recorder's Office, the price of the deal was SI70,000. Last summer, the county asses­ sor's office had listed the land's value at 397,000 and the home at 3310,000. Brandt said he and a contractor he is working with have a plan for stabilizing the hillside, hut one of the first things they plan to do is move the home away from the edge of the cUff. Brandt said he intends to turn the property into a place for busi­ ness meetings and the like, and he does not plan to use It as a lake home. The job of cleaning up the that currently exists on the hillside and re-establishin,g ground and other stabilizing will be a big one, according to Bill I Kaiar, administrator for Otter Tall I County's Land and Resources Office. —■ I Kaiar said baaed on the plan sub-1 milted to the county, work will first be done at the top and bottom of the hill. He said removing the remnants of the failed retaining walls in the middle of the hill will be a tricky and potentially danger­ ous task. "I wouldn't want to be the one trying to do that job,” Kaiar said. Some of the work will he done this spring and summer, but the entire project could take several years to complete, he said.

Proposed 1997 Schedule of Events The owner after consultation and interpretation of the information has decided on a plan to salvage both the house and the lot. Following is a list of items that most likely will be completed in the 1997 construction season. 1.Move salvageable trees to new locations either on the lot or off the lot. 2.Move and salvage trees in the proposed new house location. 3.Excavate the basement (approx. 85 feet further from the lake then originally constructed. 4.House mover will load and move the house over the excavated basement hole. 5.Contractor will construct new footings and basement as per drawing prepared by SoUen & Larson. 6.Remove and dispose of old concrete block basement, footings and garage slab. 7.Remove top of hill from new basement area to top of slide and slope sides of cut back to original ground elevation. See attached removal plan and cross- section. It is important not to puddle the water on this new area as it may soak and saturate the slide area. It is the intent of the owner to seed or sod the excavated area and also attempt to get vegetation growing on the side slopes. The site drains parallel to the slide area at the present time, therefore, the only water reaching the newly cut area would be rainfall, not runoff from nearby property. I I Revised 1-8-97 8.It is the owner's intent to leave the bottom of the slope in its present state as much as possible and as has been requested by the DNR. The owner does intend to do minor grading at the very bottom to insure water will not collect at the base of the slide and will seed it to help stabilize the toe of the slope. This growing grass will filter some of the fine soil particles which may wash down the slide area. I I I I Riprap extending a minimum of 160 feet long with a vertical height of 4 feet will be installed on shore at the waters edge as per the original permit dated November 3, 1995. (See attached copy) 9. I I At this time, it is the owners intent to leave in place the silt fence which was installed previously. This will be removed only after natural vegetation has taken hold and the silt fence is not longer deemed necessary. 10. I I Regrading of the entrance road, the owner plans to have a contractor regrade and gravel or pave as per the grading plan prepared by Houston Engineering. 11.

This report consists of a compilation of the engineering reports regarding the construction of the failed retaining wall, the recommendations for corrective actions and the proposed schedule of the repairs. In the description of work to be performed, the authors have mentioned turf restoration and erosion control practices will be implemented. There is a lack of detail in regard to the erosion control measures. They state that the existing silt fence will remain in place but make no commitment as to its inspection, repair and maintenance. Details of contour furrows are provided but there is no indication if these furrows will be drained to the sides or allowed to overflow should they become filled with silt or water. If the runoff collected in these furrows is drained to the sides of the slope no provisions are apparent that will prevent erosion that may be caused by the concentration of this runoff to the ends of the furrows. Since the width of the furrow is not known, one cannot judge how much storage these furrows will provide. Under the topic of future construction, there is no indication as to what measures will be taken to revegetate the slope i.e. will the area be seeded or sodded. Most notes on the Plans refer to seeding. Sod may be more desirable on this long slope to provide "immediate" erosion control. There has also been no commitment on the Owner’s part to set a time frame to have the work completed. Safety is certainly a concern, as is protection of the surrounding resources. If we can be of any service regarding this matter or if you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

FIR AVENUE FERGUS FALLS, MN 56537 (218) 739-7576 December 3, 1996 Chairperson Otter Tail County Planning Commission Otter Tail County Court House Fergus Falls, MN 56537 $ :-336 RE: Brandt Properties Pelican Lake, Otter Tail County Dear Planning Commission: During the last 1 Vi years, I have been following with great interest, the most significant mass movement landslide^ I have seen in some time on property now owned by Ace Brandt. As you are likely aware, my main interest stems from the potential problem that this site presents to Pelican Lake. We have already noted and received complaints regarding the suspended sediment along the shoreline of neighboring properties. It has always been my concern that the shore impact zone has been adversely affected. My original recommendation was that this area should not be clear cut and have the soil distributed. Today it represents the immediate source of sediment due to the vegetation removal and the resulting soil erosion of this site on Pelican Lake. The proposed plan as presented by the Brandt Properties Company application would continue to provide a significant source of sediment from the site to Pelican Lake. I am seriously concerned about the proposal to create an approximate 3:1 slope and the side slope shaping above the lake. This has the effect of creating a direct slope about 300 feet long and at it’s widest portion 170 feet wide, thereby creating a tunnel directly to the lake. On this type of slope even without the volume of water contributed from the impervious surface above, sheet flow runoff will be so rapid that within about 50 feet of the top of the slope, rill flow (small channels) will develop. The estimated velocity of the water will be more then 8 feet per second, a very erosive velocity. This site is very erosive and likely will never completely heal, even after vegetation becomes established. Thus, if has the potential to become a continuing source of sedimentation to the lake. DNR Information: 612-296-6l.S?, 1-800-766-6000 • TTY: 612-296-5484, 1-800-657-3929 Printed on Rceyclcd Paper Containing a Minimum of Post-Consumer Waste An Equal Opportunity Employer Who Values Diversity In my estimation, the existing flat bench area now 20-25 feet above the lake provides an area to slow down the water expected to runoff from the site. Special attention should be given to minimizing the volume of this runoff as well as the velocity of this runoff. It would help significantly if the volume of runoff could be reduced by requiring all runoff fro^ the impervious surface provided by the house, deck, driveway, parking area, etc. eemfaf be directed to the south (backside) the proposed house location. Although the velocity can be addressed by vegetation, this will not be effective in preventing sediment from reaching the lake for a long time, and will perhaps never be completely effective. My suggestion is that this bench should not be altered and in fact should be used to collect the runoff and direct it into the natural vegetation perhaps to the west side of the property in a fashion to properly filter it before it enters the lake. The area of the bench and the slope directly adjacent to the lake needs immediate attention and should be addressed first and foremost if any land alterations at all is allowed. Again, this bench area should remain in place. It is critical to protecting the lake. Thank you for your consideration of these comments.

Our review has been cursory in nature, we did not attempt to verify the computations or application of theory used by the engineer of record in their analyses. With respect to the correction of the failure that has occurred the following are some of the options that exist: 1. Relocate the site improvements and buildings and regrade the area to reduce the slope and the soil overburden which is causing the slope failure. 2. Replace the failed wall system with a new wall system designed to accommodate the conditions present on the site. 3. Do nothing to the situation other than clean up the failed wall and establish erosion control measures where existing turf has been disturbed for the construction and clean up. Of these alternatives, the engineer of record discusses only the first. The third alternative is likely not acceptable to the land owner because it is no way addresses the problem that was originally being addressed. In fact, the removal of the failed wall could aggravate the situation it was intended to correct. This possibility is supported by the concerns raised by the engineer of record regarding vibration of the ground due to equipment in the vicinity of the scarp. Other Offices: Jamestown, ND; Beulah, ND; Wahpeton, ND; Sidney, MT An Equal Opportunity Employer Mr. Bill Kalar December 4, 1996 Page 2 The second alternative may not be feasible from a cost standpoint. Due to the soil conditions, perched water, proximity of the building to the slope and the presence of the failed wall, this alternative may prove impossible to pursue due to the vibrations the construction would cause in the vicinity of the slope. If one could remove the existing wall and dress the slope for installation of a new wall without causing a failure of the slope supporting the building, it may prove to be quite costly to construct a series of walls on this slope which reduces the potential for failure to an acceptable level. The first alternative appears to be the more practical approach. It removes the building from the area prone to slope failure and, based on the engineer of record’s report, will result in a slope that is stable and can be maintained with respect to erosion One matter that does not appear to have been fully addressed is the erosion control measures that are to be undertaken. These would include the temporary measures which should be in place before construction resumes and the permanent measures such as turf establishment and redirecting runoff to areas that are not as sensitive to erosion as this slope is. In summary, it is our opinion that the Owner is presuming a practical solution to the situation. The approach being pursued does not include elaborate retaining wall systems that rely on the existing soil for anchorage and stability. If we can be of any service regarding this matter or if you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Respectfully Submitted, INTERSTATE ENGINEERING, INC.

Approximately 50 percent of the soil samples obtained will be held at our office for two months and will then be discarded unless we are notified to hold them for a longer period of time. The evaluations contained in this report have considered the normal contingencies; however, should any questions arise pertaining to the soil conditions during preparation of the working drawings or unexpected conditions develop during construction, please contact us. Very truly yours. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY, INC. Loel M LMF;kau Proj. No. 8388 REPORT OF SOIL INVESTIGATION Proposed Brandt Lake Home Pelican Lake Otter Tail County, Minnesota Project Number 8388 INTRODUCTION The Brandt lake home is on a high bluff overlooking Pelican Lake. In May of 1996, we understand a recently constructed timber retaining wall failed. Due to the potential for damage to the home from continuing slope movement, we understand the home will be moved away from the slope failure. The purpose of this investigation is to recommend a minimum distance the home should be moved back from its present location. To conduct our investigation, seven standard penetration test borings were performed at the site from October 3 to 4, 1996. The borings were performed to determine the soil conditions for the project and to collect samples for laboratory analysis. This report presents the results of the field and laboratory testing, along with our evaluation of the test results and our opinion regarding the minimum distance the house should be moved back from its present location. SITE AND SOIL CONDITIONS The home is located along the southwest shore of Pelican Lake. The home is located at the top of a bluff overlooking Pelican Lake. The site drops off sharply just beyond the deck of the home. The top of the bluff is at approximate elevation 106 and the lake level is at elevation 22. The remainder of the site consists of a gentle rolling terrain with grade elevations typically ranging from 95 to 106. At the time of our field activities, the edge of the slope failure was located approximately 20 feet from the back of the house. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -2- The soil conditions encountered at our seven boring locations are quite variable. Generally, existing fill extends to depths ranging from 2 to 6V4 feet below existing grades. The fill is underlain by various sand, silt and clay deposits. Fat clays were encountered at each of our test borings at depths ranging from 9 to 18 feet. The fat clays were usually underlain by sand deposits. The sand deposits range from loose to very dense. Sandy lean clays were encountered below the sand deposits and extend to the termination depth of our borings (maximum 51 feet). The sandy lean clays typically range from medium to stiff in consistency. This brief description of the soil conditions encountered at our boring locations is intended as a general overview. For a graphical and more complete description of the soils encountered within our borings, please refer to the attached boring logs. GROUND WATER Ground water was not measurable upon completion of our test borings. A water level of approximately 56 feet below grade was measured in an existing piezometer located at the top of the slope. Based upon the soil profile, it appears that perched ground water is present several feet above the lake level. The ground water level should be expected to fluctuate both seasonally and annually. It is our opinion that the ground water level will not cause any serious construction difficulties associated with site grading near the top of the slope. The ground water level will be a notable concern for long term slope stability. It appears perched ground water conditions are present at the site; therefore, some construction difficulties associated with a ground water level well above the lake elevation may occur during regrading of the slope. LABORATORY INVESTIGATION A number of representative samples were selected for laboratory analysis. The testing program consisted of determining moisture content, dry density, Atterberg limits and MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -3- unconfined compressive strength. All of the test results are tabulated and included on the boring logs, opposite the samples they represent. ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Project Details Present plans consist of moving the home away from the existing slope failure to minimize the potential for damage to the residence caused by subsequent slope failures which will likely extend beyond the current failure surface. At this time, consideration is being given to moving the house back another 85 feet from its existing location. The floor elevation of the home will also be lowered. We understand the new house location will include a full basement with a walk-out on the lake side of the home. A basement floor elevation on the order of 96 is proposed. Upon moving the home, the top of the bluff will be excavated down to remove some of the load from the top of the slope. At some point in the future, the slope behind the new home location will be graded from the lake level to the back of the home on a uniform 3 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical) slope. Our analysis and recommendations are based upon the building features described above. Should there be any discrepancies or changes made prior to construction, we should be notified so that we may review our recommendations in light of the actual project features. Foundations It is our opinion that standard spread foundations are feasible for support of the home at the proposed location. We recommend spread foundations obtain bearing upon natural, inorganic, undisturbed soils or upon a well compacted engineered fill. To obtain bearing upon inorganic, natural soil, we recommend spread footings be supported at or below elevation 95. If existing fill extends below the proposed footing elevation, we recommend removing the fill and replacing it with a well compacted engineered fill. The engineered fill should consist of a relatively clean, inorganic, pit-run sand and gravel. The engineered fill should be placed and compacted in loose lift thicknesses of 12 inches or less. We MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -4- recommend all engineered fill below spread foundations be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum density. Exterior footings should be supported at a depth which will provide adequate frost protection. For a heated structure in the Pelican Rapids area, we recommend spread foundations obtain bearing at least five feet below final exterior grade. Spread foundations for unheated portions of the structure, such as the garage, should be supported at least six feet below final exterior grade. We recommend the foundation excavations be closely observed at the time of construction by a soils engineer, or his representative. If perimeter footings will bear upon engineered fill, we recommend overexcavating the building excavation at least one foot beyond the outer edge of the footing for each two feet of engineered fill below footing elevation. Based upon the standard penetration resistance values, laboratory test results, and our past experience with similar soil conditions, we recommend using a maximum allowable foundation loading of 1500 psf for sizing of spread foundations. We estimate a foundation loading of this magnitude will provide a theoretical factor of safety on the order of 3 with respect to shear failure and detrimental settlement should not occur. The natural soils encountered at the site should be considered sensitive to disturbance from heavy construction traffic. Relatively soft lean clays are encountered near the proposed footing elevation. These soils could become disturbed by heavy construction traffic, such as scrapers. Therefore, we recommend the final two feet of excavating in the proposed building area be performed by a backhoe with a smooth cutting surface. Any natural soils which become disturbed during construction should be excavated to an undisturbed level and replaced with a controlled engineered fill or concrete. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -5 - Slope Stability We have performed a slope stability analysis using the available soil information and the topographic survey information provided by Houston Engineering. At this time, it is our understanding that the house will be moved 85 feet further back from its present location. The alignment of the house may be turned somewhat to obtain a better view of the lake. The new home will include a walkout basement level with a basement floor slab at or near elevation 96. It is our opinion that the factor of safety with respect to a slope failure occurring at the new house location would be ^proximately (see attached). In our opinion, a factor of safety of 1would be adequate for the residence. This factor of safety is based upon a walkout basement floor elevation of 96 and removing approximately 16 feet of soil just behind the existing house location (elevation 89). A diagram of the intended grading is attached. We understand long-term plans consist of flattening the slope to £q)proximately 3 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical) from the edge of the water to the rear side of the home. When the long-term grading is complete, we would expect a small increase in the factor of safety with respect to a shear failure occurring at the new house location. During the site regrading process, we recommend that drains be installed into the exposed earth slope in areas where wet soil conditions or ground water seepage is noted. The number, location and elevation of the drains should be determined in the field at the time of construction. Reestablishing vegetation on the slope would be beneficial to long-term stability. Geotextile fabrics which can help reduce erosion and establish vegetation are also available. After the initial failure had occurred, we understand soil was placed at the bottom of the slope in an attempt to stabilize the movement which had occurred. We do not recommend removing any soil from near the toe of the slope until the soil has been excavated from the upper portion of the slope. The toe of the slope should also be protected from erosion due to wave action. Rip rap would be beneficial along the lakeshore to minimize such erosion. We suggest having the rip rap extend approximately five feet above the lake elevation. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -6- Even upon completion of the site regrading, there will still be some potential for continuing movement along the established failure surface. This risk of movement must be acceptable to the owner/user. Further flattening of the slope beyond 3:1 would likely be needed to reestablish stability of the existing slope failure. Upon moving the house back an additional 85 feet from its present location, it is our opinion that development of a future slide at the new house location would be unlikely. Upon regrading the area behind the house to a 3:1 slope from the lake to the house, it is our opinion that drastic slope failures, such as the one which occurred this past sununer, would be unlikely. We also suggest side slopes of the site regrading be no steeper than 3:1. Some questions have been raised regarding the stability of the slope during site clearing at the new home location. Heavy scrapers, large loaders, and dozers will likely be working in this area and this large equipment will cause some ground vibrations. Heavy equipment, such as loaded scrapers, driven in close proximity to the existing house are detrimental to stability and could trigger additional slope movements. The extent of these movements is unknown. It is not possible for us to assure the owner that there will be no risk of damage to the home from these vibrations. However, if the home is not moved, it is our opinion that the risk of damage to the home would be much greater. It is our opinion that limiting the travel of the heavy construction equipment to an area no closer than the footprint of the new house location would not result in a "high" risk of damage to the residence. We recommend heavy equipment be kept back at least 90 feet from the existing scarp. No additional fill should be placed within 100 feet from the the top edge of the slope. Soil excavated from the site should be placed 200 feet or more from the top of the slope. To minimize soil vibration before the house is moved, consideration could be given to excavating with a backhoe instead of large scrapers. Extreme care should also be taken during dismantling of the failed timber retaining wall. The wall is exposed to high lateral earth pressures and upon cutting or taking apart the wall, rapid soil movements or flows may occur. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY -7- Basement Area We recommend supporting the basement floor slab on natural, inorganic soils. If old fill extends below the basement floor elevation, it should be excavated and replaced with a controlled engineered sand fill. The sand fill should be placed in thin lifts and compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum density (ASTM D698-91). Directly below the floor slab, we recommend providing at least a six inch thick layer of free draining coarse sand or gravel. This sand or gravel should be provided to guard against wetting of the floor slab due to the underlying soils. The basement area should also be damp proofed and protected with a drain tile system. Exterior Backfill Native soils may be used as exterior foundation backfill at the new house location. We recommend placing the backfill in thin lifts and compacting to a minimum of 90 percent of the Standard Proctor maximum density. Exterior backfill which is used to support sidewalks or pavements should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent. Final exterior grading should provide permanent and positive drainage away from the building to prevent water from ponding adjacent to the foundation walls or within the immediate building area. FIELD INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES Seven soil test borings were performed at the site from October 3 to 4, 1996. The borings were advanced at locations selected by Midwest Testing Laboratory. The boring locations are shown on the attached site map. The surface elevations at the boring locations were referenced to the top of a well located Just southwest of the building location (see map). The top of the well was assumed to be at elevation 100.0 feet. MIDWEST TESTING LABORATORY - 8- Soil Sampling The borings were advanced with 3-3/8 inch hollow stem auger, with split barrel samples obtained in accordance with ASTM D1586-67. Using this procedure, a two-inch O.D. split barrel sampler is driven by a 140-pound weight falling 30 inches. The number of blows required to drive the sampler twelve inches after a six inch initial set is the standard penetration resistance and will be referred to as N value, an index related to the consistency of cohesive soils and the relative density of cohesionless soils. Soil Classifications As the borings were advanced in the field and samples obtained, they were visually and manually classified in accordance with ASTM D2488-84. Representative portions of all samples were returned to the laboratory for review of the field classifications. Selected samples were submitted to a program of laboratory tests to aid in determining the characteristics of the soil. Logs of the borings, laboratory test results and charts illustrating the soil classification procedures and descriptive terminology are attached. LIMITATIONS OF INVESTIGATION The area of the borings in relation to the entire site is relatively small and therefore, should not be assumed to be necessarily typical of the entire area of the site.Also, this investigation cannot represent soil conditions below the depths of our borings. Because of these and other reasons, we recommend close observation during construction for soil conditions not typical of the strata logged. the laws (^he State 8356DateA^5h% Reglstralton Na UOEL M.

C Qc K WATER LEVEL INFORMATION Water levels shown bn the boring logs are levels measured in the borings at the time and under the conditions noted. In sand, the indicated levels can be considered reliable. In clay soil, it is not possible to determine the ground water level within the normal scope of a test boring investigation, except where lenses or layers of more pervious water-bearing soils are present. Even then, a long period of time may be necessary to reach equilibrium. Therefore, the position of the water level noted on the boring logs for cohesive or mixed-texture soils may not indicate the true level of the ground water table. SOIL STRATIFICATION BOUNDARIES The soil stratification lines shown on the boring logs indicate the approximate boundary between different soil types. In the field, the transition between soil types may be gradual.
