The property is located northwest of Leaf Road and east of Interstate 94 in the orderly annexation area within an urban expansion district. The plan proposes 3 different arrays on the Walz’s property and proposes to use an existing driveway/field road off of Leaf Road extending across an existing bridge that crosses the South Fork of the Watab River to the field areas and proposed solar gardens. A wetland delineation has been completed and Stearns County has determined there are no impacts to the wetlands. Solar Systems are a permitted conditional use within the Orderly Annexation Area. The purpose of the Urban Expansion District is to enable the orderly and efficient staging of urban services, including wastewater, water, electric, gas, roads and communications. This district is further intended to limit barriers to efficient growth of cities. Solar energy systems do not have a need for City utility services, which can raise concerns for future planning within the St. Joseph Orderly Annexation Area. The City’s Transportation Plan identifies a future community collector road corridor on the subject property. Additionally, the City’s Comprehensive Plan guides the property for mixed commercial and high density residential.

JOSEPH JOINT PLANNING BOARD By Rick Schultz, Chair By Judy Weyrens, Secretary Drafted by: City of St.Joseph PO Box 668 St.Joseph MN 56374 320363.720 � EXHIBIT A ��� ��� ��''`�`"���#t�`"�°�� MEMORANDUM for a�ot us° TO: Ms. Judy Weyrens, City Administrator FROM: Randy Sabart, PE DATE: May 4, 2017 RE: Walz/IPS Solar Farm Conditional Use Permit Preliminary Engineering Review SEH No. STJOE GEN D152 14.00 1. The City's Transportation Plan (Figure 6) identifies a potential future community collector road corridor centered along the east property line of the subject property and in the vicinity of proposed Blocks A and B. Road right of way planning for a community collector would range from 80-to 100-feet. 2. Reference is made in the perFormance standards summary that the proposed project will create less than 1 acre of new impervious service. No preliminary hydrology or hydraulics anafysis has been submitted to confirm the statement that will apply to both the solar farm and access road. The surface of the proposed access road itself is nearly 0.8 acre. The MPCA has provided information/guidance on storm water management for solar projects and on determining compliance with the NPDES construction storm water permit, including a solar panel calculator. Though we anticipate a storm water management plan and NPDES permit will be necessary, we recommend that the project ultimately be analyzed and the appropriate hydrology analysis as described in the following link be submitted: https:!/�torn�water.pca.state.nin.us/index.php?title=Stormwater_management_for solar_projects_and_det errT�ining_�ompliance_with_the_NPDES_canstructian_stormwater_permit 3. We recommend that the solar panel racking system manufacturer's engineer, who will provide certification that the design of the foundations and panels are within acceptable standards, be licensed in the State of Minnesota. 4. Based on the geometry illustrated on sheet C100 of the Civil Plan, it would appear that the grading of the proposed access road will impact delineated wetlands, particularly between Blocks A and C. While the submitted Civil plan is suitable for concept purposes, it lacks sufficient grading (ex. typical section, ditching, etc.), storm water management, erosion control, and turF establishment detail to define the real surface impacts. 5. We anticipate additional permitting by the DNR will be required for crossing the South Fork Watab River. rjs/mrb c: Therese Haffner, City of St. Joseph Terry Thene, City of St. Joseph p:\ptGs\stjoe\common\d152 2016 walz property ips com solar garden\m rsabart to jweyrens walz ips solar cup 050417.docx Engineers � Architects � Planners � Scientists Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.,1200 25th Avenue South,P.O.Box 1717,St.Cloud,MN 56302-1717 SEH is 100%employee-owned � sehinc.com � 320.229.4300 � 800.572.0617 � 888.908.8166 fax � �'�c�—� �°� c� STATE OF MINNESOTA ST.JOSEPH JOINT PLANNING BOARD COUNTY OF STEARNS CONDITIONAL USE PROCEEDINGS In the matter o£ Walz Properties,LLC and Innovative Power Systems The Joint Planning Board considered a request for a Conditional Use Permit as submitted by Walz Properties, LLC,property owner, and Innovative Power Systems, applicant,to allow for the construction and operation of a 3 megawatt(MW)solar energy system on the property legally described in E�ibit A, "Subject Property."The matter was duly published and notice was provided to property owners within 1250 feet(.25 mile)of the above referenced property and the Joint Planning Board conducted a public hearing on May 9,2017. The St.Joseph Joint Planning Board hereby adopts the following Findings of Fact supporting the denial of a conditional use permit for a solar system: 1. The Subject Property is currently zoned Urban Expansion District and within the Orderly Annexation Area of the City of St.Joseph. 2. The Town of St. Joseph and City of St.Joseph have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding(MOU)dated March 24,2015. 3.

The Urban Expansion category is described as areas anticipated to be annexed and provided with municipal services during the time frame of this plan. This also includes areas under Orderly Annexation Agreements.Limited commercial/industrial uses may be considered. 6. The future land use plan within the Comprehensive Plan of the City of St. Joseph guides the property for community oriented mixed use(high density residential and commercial). 7. The conditional use is inconsistent with the City of St. Joseph Comprehensive Plan, Transportation Plan,and Utility Plans a. The subject property is located in Planning District two which identifies this area as commercial and mixed commercial and high density residential. b. Utility Planning—The conditional use permit will impact future utilities since solar systems have no need far city utility services. c. Transportation Plan—The conditional use permit will impact future roadways. The City's Transportation Plan identifies a future community collector road corridor on the Subject Property where the solar system would be located. DECISION AND CONCLUSION Based on the Finding of Fact,the St.Joseph Joint Planning Board hereby denies the Conditional Use Permit(CUP)as requested by Walz Properties,LLC and Innovative Power Systems. Adopted this 9th day of May , 2017 ST.

Exhibit List..................................................................................................................................6 � 1 1.Townshlp Recommendatlon: IPS will attend a Joint Board meeting on March 16th. Township representatives are on the Board. It is our understanding that the board is considering grocessing CUP applications independently of the County. This issue is likely to be addressed at the meeting. We will gather input and report back to the County. 2.Design and Interconnection: Each ga,rden will consist of approximately thr� thousand eight hundred and eighty eight (3,888) solar panels. The panels are mounted on a steel and alwninuxn racking structeue positioned at a Sxed 30°tilt, and generally averages approximately ten (10) feet above grade. The installation will not exceed a maximum height of twenty (20) feet above grade. The racking system is installed in the ground with pilings (I-beams)that are driven directly into the group at a depth usually between six(6)feet and eight (10) feet depending on soil conditions. The racking system manufactuter's engineer will provide certification that the desi,gn of the foundations and panels are within accepted professional standards, given local soil and climate oontrols. The equipment is designed to withstand wind up to ninely (90) MPH and fifly pounds per square foot (50 LBS/SF} of snow. Each of the gardens will have one (1) concrete equipment pad, typically less than 320 square feet, to support interconnection and metering equipment. The on1Y ProPp� S�ing that will occur is for the roads and concrete equipm�t pads. Demonstrative equipment specifications are attached as Eahibit E. The panels will be arranged into rows. Each row of solar panels will connect to an inverter. The inverters will be connected by directionally bored underground conduit that is housed inside of biodegradable PVC housing which will be installed two(2)fe�t below the surface. The conduit will lead to the concrete equipment pad for each garden. The inverters transforrn the direct c�ttrent (DC) power generated by the photovoltaic system to alternating cuirent(AC)power, which is then connected to the existing Xcel Ener$y three phase power distribution line at the point of common coupling (PCC) and backfed to the Saint Joseph substation. The solar array will be contained within an area protected by a seven-foot chain link fence with barbed wire on top of it. It will not create any noise, dust, fwnes, glaze, or other pollutants or nuisance to surmunding neighbors. There will be signage along the fence, approximately 2' x 3', including utility hazard, company information, and contact information on the fence. The solar garden will eomply with all applicable state, county, and federal regulations. No exterior lighting is proposed for the project. We do not request the county to provide any services or county personnel. 3.ConstruMion: IPS wauld like to begin constniction as soon as April 2Ql? date and oomplete the project before September 2017. The construction process typicatly takes approximately three months. Operating hours during construction will be 8am-6pm. The site will have a portable toilet for workers. No water supgly will be required, Any waste or de��ris will be gath�ecl in a dumpster that will be reanoved during construction progress as necessary. Multiple truckloads of equipment will be delivered throughout the construction period. In addition, crews in passenger vehicles, pickup trucks, bobcats and skid steet loaders on tracks will be on site almost every day throughout the construction process. IPS will use 2 appropriate temporary (construction-related) erosion and sediment control best management practices (BMP)through construction. IPS agrees to the Site Rules attached as Eshibit F. 4.Storm Wat�r Management Measures A licsnsed civil engineering firm will determine storm water management measures with an enormous amount of experience designing solar arrays. Measures will include an analysis of the existing topography since no substantial grading will be required, the use of erosion oontrol logs mid silt fences where necessary, and establishment of a genninated pollinator friendly vegetative base undemeath the project site before constructian begins to prevent erosion. 4.Operations&Emergency Response: A licensed civil engineering fum will determine storm water management measures. Measure.s will include an analysis of the existing topography, the use of erosion control logs aud silt fences where ne�essary,and establishment a germinated pollinator friendly ve�etative base underneath the project site before construction begins to prevent erosion. � Construction,maintenance and decommissioni.ng of the garden will be conducted in accordance with the Innovativ�e Power Systems Safety Manuel, wlrich is attached as Eahibit G. The proposed contacts for emergency response as well as ongoing maintenance and operations are local and easily accessible. No chemicals will be used, stored, or disposed of on the modules unless they are certified organic cleaning products. Drainage,weeds,screening,general operations: Jamie Borell Innovative Power Systems,Inc. jaznieb@ips-solar.com 612-SO1-5999 Maintenance,stray voltage and electrical: Bill Richmond Knobelsdorff Electric 612-799-1315 5.Access,Parking,Road Use and Maintenance: �elveCt�) Consttuction and operation and maintenance crews will access to ihe site by a praposed fei�eea-{�4j foot wide gravel road that has a twenty (20) foot enirance off Lcef Road on the South part of the property. Road access will be controlled for erosion control during construction. Construction cxew parking will be located entirely within the site. No additional permanent parking is required. Maintenance crews will park within the site access road and turnaround area. 6.Landscaping: 3 No tree clearing is proposed. IPS has voluntarily participated in the Pollination Pledge, whereby it has agreed to seed with native pollinator friendly vegetation underneath the panels and in surrounding areas within the project site. Seeding will be done as soon as is suitable for good gennination IPS will contract with a local oompany to maintain the grounds. Vegetation will be mowed and maintained on an as needed basis and in a manner as to ma�cimize weed and erosion control. Ground cova within the fenced portion of the array will not exceed 24 inches in height. IPS proposes a seed mix desiga specific to this site based on the parameters and methodology defiaed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation attached as Eahiblt H. The design goals for this solar garden seed mix will be: • Withstand harsh climate conditions • Minimize maintenance costs • Minimize erosion • Improve water quality • Infiltrate storm water ivnoff IPS will be responsible for maintaining the existing drain tile system underneath the anay and replacing any damage to tile occurring during construction, or any time prior to or during decommissioning. Existing drain tile lines wiU be identified upon the completion of the ALTA survey prior to construction. 7.Fire Prevention: Tlus solar array will meet the requirements of the 2012 International Fire Code, specifically to sections 605.11 — 605.11.2 for clearance, markings and location of underground DC conductors. The salar garden will meet the internationai Building Code (IBC), National Elechic Code (NEG), and local electric and fire code. NEC oode is produced by the National Fire Protection Agency (NAPA) with safety of the public, contractors, and firefighters as the entire objective. Solar specific Code has been included in the NEC for over a decade. Safety is paramount in our solar PV facilities, as we need them to function optimally for their entire system life. 8.Visual Impact Analysis: IPS conducted a site visit and visual analysis of the parcel and adjacent parcels to determine if aay nearby properties would be have their line of site substantially obstructed or impeded by the pmposed project. IPS concluded that the impact is minimal. No vegetative screening is praposed. 8.Deconnmissioning Plan: IPS expects that decornmissioning will occur 25-35 years after the date that the system becomes operational. Decommissioning will occur in the event that the array is not used for twelve (12) consecutive months. All structures, foundations, electrical equipment a11 internal or perimeter access roads will be removed. Soils and vegetation will be restored. Disposal of structures and foundations sha11 mcet the provisions of Stearns County Solid Waste Ordinance Number 171; or successor ordinance. 4 Installation by IPS will be done with no significant or permanent alterations to the land.The system will be dismantled and remove� using minimal impact conshuction equipment and materials will be safely r�ycled or disposed. Appropriate temporary construction-related erosion and sedimetrt control best management practices(BMP)will be used during the decommissioning of the project. Decommissioning requirem�ts: The decommissioning party shall: a. Ubtain any permits re�uired for the decommissioning,resnoval, and legal disposal of the system components prior to the commencement of fhe decommissioning activities. b. Remove and dispose of all equipment and components. c. Remove all hazardous materials (if any) and transport them to be disposed of by licensed contractors at an appropriate facility in accordance with rules aad regulations. d. If appropriate, grading, and re-vegetation in accordance with permits and in compliance with all applicable rules aad regulations. e. Preserve and reclaim the soils on the project site to a level of pre-project quality f. Reclaim soils in the access driveway and equipment pad areas by removi.ng imported aggregate material and ooncrete foundations and replacing with soils as needed. g. Remove non-biodegradable electrical conduits and backfill trenches with the native soils removed. Equipment Removal Procedure: The decommissioning of the project proceeds in reverse order of the installation: a. The solar system shall be disconne�ted from the utility power grid. b. PV modules ahail be disconnected,unattached, collected,and removed. c. Site aboveground and underground electrical interconnection and distribution materials sball be removed and recycled off site by an approved recycler, provided that IPS will nat remove one biodegradable undergroun.d conduit housing. d. PV module support racking shall be removed and r�ycled off site by aa approved recycler. e. PV madules support steel and support posts sha11 be reinoved and recycled off site by an approved recycler. f. Electrical devices, including transformers and inverters, shall be removed and recycled off-suite by an appmved recycler. • g. Concrete pads shall be remove�and recycled by an approved recycler. h. Fencing shall be reinoved and recycled by an appraved recycler. Nonfundioning sotar components consist of valuable recyclable materials including silver, semiconductor material, steel, aluminum, copper and plastics that have a significant salvage value. Due to changing market conditions and prices or raw materials, estimating scrap value 25 yeers in the future is impractical.Also,it is more likely that the System components would be used for continued electrical generation than for scrap. Information is availabie regarding what used solar equipment sells for at auction. The American Solar Energy Society conducted a study to assess the resale value of used solar equipmen� Data was conducted from the winning bids of surplus sales. The study is attached as Eahibit J. Winning bids for 5 lots larger than .9MW sold for anywhere between $0.04 and $1.26 per watt, or $40,000 to $1,260,000 per megawat't. The variances in price refl,ect the conditions of the modules and their suitability for continued use or recyclability. These prices do not represent the additional value of the ra.cking equipment that would be sold after decommissioning of this project. In all cases the prices appeared to exceed removal cos� Il'S estimates that 125%of the cost to meet the requirements of the decommissioning plans is less than $25,000. IPS or its partners shall submit a financial guarantee in the form of a letter of c�edit, cash deposit,or bond in favor of Stearns County equal to$25,000. 10.Insurance Information: IPS's or its successor will provide a certificate of insurance meeting the Minnesota State requiretnents for liability insurance coverage, 'I1�ese requirement��clude: • ���Pm�d�'��be rated B+or better by"Best." • Limits of$2,000,000 for each occurrence. • Coverage against claims for datnages resulting from bodily inJu�y� v�'on8ful death, and Pmperiy damage arising out of the Interconnection Customer's ownership and/or operating of the Generation System under the interconnection agreement. • Include"Northern States Power Company,a Minnesota Company"as additional insured. � • Contain a severability of interest clause of cross-liability insurance • Pmvides for thirty (3p) calendar days written notice to NSP priar to cancellation, teimination,alteration,or material chaage of such insurauce. • Covera.ge provided is primary, and not excess of, contdbuting to, or combined with, any � �nsurance rnaintained by NSP.

Dat@ 4/10/2017 �� ..r�►� r��r� ���������°�� MEMORANDUM fic�A�ot us� TO: Ms. Judy Weyrens, City Administrator FROM: Randy Sabart, PE DATE: May 4, 2017 RE: Walz/IPS Solar Farm Conditional Use Permit Preliminary Engineering Review SEH No. STJOE GEN D152 14.00 1. The City's Transportation Plan (Figure 6) identifies a potential future community collector road corridor centered along the east property line of the subject property and in the vicinity of proposed Biocks A and B. Road right of way planning for a community collector would range from 80-to 100-feet. 2. Reference is made in the performance standards summary that the proposed project will create less than 1 acre of new impervious service. No preliminary hydrology or hydraulics analysis has been submitted to confirm the statement that will apply to both the solar farm and access road. The surface of the proposed access road itself is nearly 0.8 acre. The MPCA has provided information/guidance on storm water management for solar projects and on determining compliance with the NPDES construction storm water permit, including a solar panel calculator. Though we anticipate a storm water management plan and NPDES permit will be necessary, we recommend that the project ultimately be analyzed and the appropriate hydrology analysis as described in the following link be submitted: https://stormwater.pca.state.mn.us/index.ph p?title=Stormwater_management_for_solar_projects_and_det ermi ning_compliance_with_the_N PDES_construction_stormwater_permit 3. We recommend that the solar panel racking system manufacturer's engineer, who will provide certification that the design of the foundations and panels are within acceptable standards, be licensed in the State of Minnesota. 4. Based on the geometry illustrated on sheet C100 of the Civil Plan, it would appear that the grading of the proposed access road will impact delineated wetlands, particularly between Blocks A and C. While the submitted Civil plan is suitable for concept purposes, it lacks sufficient grading (ex. typical section, ditching, etc.), storm water management, erosion control, and turf establishment detail to define the real surface impacts. 5. We anticipate additional permitting by the DNR will be required for crossing the South Fork Watab River. rjs/mrb c: Therese Haffner, City of St. Joseph Terry Thene, City of St. Joseph p:\pt\s\stjoe\common\d152 2016 walz propeAy ips com solar garden\m rsabart to jweyrens walz ips solar cup 050417.docx Engineers � Architects � Planners � Scientists Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.,1200 25th Avenue South,P.O.
