Thanks, Melanie Melanie Curtis 952.249.4627 mcurtisCrDci.orono.mn.us Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 From: Melanie Curtis Sent: Friday, September 26, 2008 12:54 PM To: 'kahammer@cbbrunet.com'; 'christopher.hildreth@ci.minneapolis.mn.us' Cc: Mike Gaffron; Christine Mattson; Willie Gibbs; Tom Kellogg; Evelyn M. Turner Subject: 4575 Spruce Way Ken I've been looking into your questions on 4574 Spruce Way. To bring me more up to date, Mike Gaffron forwarded your previous email chain to me (it is attached). I cannot locate a wetland delineation for this property. Please us send a copy to put in the address file. The delineation should be submitted to the MCWD for their review and approval. If you have not done this, it should be approved by the MCWD before making an application to the City. Any changes to the wetland should be shown on the survey. I understand that a potential buyer is interested in moving the existing drainage easement to an alternate location on the property. I've outlined the steps to explore whether this drainage easement can be moved. #1 -The establishment of an alternate over-land drainage easemenUswale location. Over land drainage is preferable. Sub-surface piping alone or other below grade method will not be sufficient, or approved by the City. The new drainage swale would have to be dedicated as a new drainage easement prior to vacation of the existing one. The Citys engineer would need to review and approve the new easement and any alteration to the existing site. In order to do this the City requires additional information to be shown on the survey. 1. Show existing topography and proposed grades; 2. Show all of the existing buildings—a possible location for the proposed home would also be helpful; 3. Show the driveway—existing and any proposed changes; 4. Show the stormwater pond on the survey including the outlet structure with overflow, outlet and weir elevations; 5. Show existing (and proposed)septic system. As I believe a new home is to be proposed,testing should be conducted and two new, proposed 5-bedroom site designs must be submitted for review and shown on the survey. Contact Willie Gibbs, Orono's Septic Manager, at 952249.4626 for more information. #2—The second step is an application for a City grading permit to grade the new swale. The above revisions to the survey are necessary in order for the City to review your grading permit request. An escrow in the amount of$500 is required for this type of permit. #3- Vacation of the existing drainage easement is the final step. Please let me know if you have any questions. If the property owner is interested in this project I believe the best way to begin would be a meeting between the owner/applicant, myself and the City's engineer. Having the necessary updates to the survey will make this meeting more efficient. Let me know how I can be of further assistance. Have a nice weekend, Melanie 1
