Christine Mattson <br /> From: Joey Handtmann [JHandtmann@minnehahacreek.org] <br /> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2014 2:38 PM <br /> To: Christine Mattson <br /> Cc: Courtney Hall <br /> Subject: 2325 Glendale Cove Ln Wetland Buffer <br /> Hi Christine, <br /> I've been reviewing the construction of 2325 Glendale Cove Lane's retaining wall relative to the wetland buffer location, <br /> and determined the following items: <br /> On June 11`h, Courtney Hall and I inspected this site to confirm the location of the wetland buffer and to assist the <br /> homeowner, Casey Hoehn, in determining if a retaining wall could be feasibly placed in his backyard to prevent potential <br /> erosion into the wetland and buffer area. <br /> During the initial site inspection, we observed two silt fences within the backyard of this site. The District had previously <br /> confirmed with the contractor that no silt fence was to be placed within the buffer, which was all included area from the <br /> edge of the delineated wetland measured out 25'. Establishing this understanding with the contractor led us to assume <br /> that the silt fence furthest from the finished home represented the initial boundary to the buffer. However, after <br /> measuring out the current location of the retaining wall on September 8th, it appears that the structure had been placed <br /> approximately 10' into what is considered the buffer area. Either the silt fence we observed did not accurately <br /> represent the extent of the construction on the parcel or the silt fence was installed in the wrong location after District <br /> directive on location. <br /> We apologize for any confusion on our part, and we are working with the homeowner and the applicant to rectify the <br /> situation. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. <br /> Thank you, <br /> Joey Handtmann <br /> District Representative <br /> Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> 15320 Minnetonka Boulevard <br /> Minnetonka, MN 55345 <br /> Direct: (952) 641-4517 <br /> Main Office: (952)471-0590 <br /> Fax:952-471-0682 <br /> www.minnehahacreek.or� <br /> 1 <br /> MINN#HANA CREEK <br /> VV'AtERSF1EC! p13�TRICT <br /> 1 <br />
