According to City Code Section 78-966 permits are required for filling <br /> and grading activities within the City of Orono. A copy of City Code Section 78-966 is attached for your <br /> reference. Also, according to the City of Orono's wetland maps, a Manage 2 wetland exists on or near <br /> the property line. The grading activity appears to have impacted this wetland. We do not know the exact <br /> wetland boundary and due to seasonal limitations a wetland delineation is not able to be conducted until <br /> spring. This letter has been copied to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). The MCWD <br /> should offer input as to how restoration of the potential wetland should occur. Lastly, any grading impacts <br /> on the 2643 Watertown Road property should be corrected immediately. <br /> Without proper permits, the grading/land altering activity is a violation of City Code Sections 78-966 and <br /> 78-1610; in order to bring the property into compliance you must restore the area where the grading <br /> occurred. Additionally, please be aware a wetland alteration permit (Conditional Use Permit) may be <br /> required. In order to begin the process of categorizing the land alteration activity from a violation to an <br /> after-the-fact permit you must complete the enclosed zoning permit application or submit a modified <br /> grading plan with your building permit for our review. <br /> If you have any questions, you can contact me at 952-249-4620 or at cmattsons(c-ci.orono.mn.us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO <br /> c <br /> ft�w— <br /> C istine M ttson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> Enclosures: City Code Sections 78-966 and 78-1610 <br /> Zoning Permit Application <br /> Survey requirements <br /> c Judson Champlin, via email at iudCcDchamplins.us <br /> Catherine Bach, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, via email at cbachO-minnehahacreek.org <br /> Mitch Johnsen, Shoreline Builders, via email at mitch(cbshorelinebuilders.com <br />
