I think too some of the area on the woods side of the wall could be inGuded in the calculation. We we <br /> put some peat moss along the base of the wall on that side too and are obviously letting that grow in with natural grass too. Again,my <br /> calculations were off of using one of those 100'tapes and accounting for the boulders(approximately 2 feet)and roughly 2 feet of <br /> natural grass along the wall as stated by Courtney. Also the fire pit and about 4-5'along the entirety of the area encompassing it with <br /> natural grass as well. We still have a bag of peat moss out there and plan to put that down in some of the areas along the wall that did <br /> not take as well from our initial planting with a little more short/dry grass seed. <br /> Thank you! <br /> Casey <br /> On Thursday, October 15, 2015 3:45 PM, Elizabeth Brown <EBrownCcDminnehahacreek.or4>wrote: <br /> Hi Casev, <br /> Thanks for your email clarifying where it appears some misunderstanding may lie. I am concerned because the <br /> area that you marked on your reveg plan is the area befinreen the retaining wall, as you drew it in, and the <br /> required buffer boundary. The area befinreen the retaining wall and the required buffer boundary is 10' wide at <br /> points, as you can see in the exhibit. This was the basis of our determination documented in the inspection <br /> report. <br /> If the area that has been fixed is �750 square feet, then, honoring the agreement with Courtney, we will not <br /> require any additional sod removal. I will have an inspector confirm on site so we can wrap this up. <br /> Also, to clarify, MCWD determined that we are not requiring formal monitoring of the buffer-just conformance <br /> with the normal no-mow/no-hard-surface/etc rules within the buffer. <br /> The declaration paperwork and buffer monument installation are unrelated to the leave sod vs remove sod <br /> question, so feel free to contact me with any questions on the former while we wrap up the latter. <br /> Thanks! <br /> Beth Brown <br /> Permitting Technician <br /> Certified Wetland Delineator <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> ebrownCa�minnehahacreek.orq <br /> 952-641-4504 <br /> From: Casey Hoehn fmailto:choehn 19CcDvahoo.coml <br /> Sent: Thursday, October 15, 2015 3:04 PM <br /> To: Elizabeth Brown <EBrownCc�minnehahacreek.orq>; Hoehn, Jill (JHoehn(a�tcfbank.com) <br /> <JHoehnCc�tcfbank.com> � <br /> Cc: Theresa Zerby <TZerbvC�minnehahacreek.orq>; 'Melanie Curtis' <MCurtis(a�ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> Subject: Re: 13-400 - 2325 Glendale Cove Follow-Up <br /> Thank you for the follow-up Beth. <br /> The map you included was never referenced by Courtney and the agreement in terms of the re-vegetation area that we have completed <br /> was all that was discussed. As stated earlier,we are not willing to tear up any more sod or do anything else at our expense as we are <br /> in this position based on the initial approval from the MCWD on what our landscape boundary was allowed to be before we started any <br /> work. Quite honestly we have spent A LOT of time,money and worry on this issue to do the right thing and compromise. The City of <br /> 4 <br />
