Please let me know if either of the <br /> times work for you. <br /> Regarding an"in-kind'replacement of the walls, I of course do not mean the same material has to be used but rather <br /> they must be constructed in the same location and footprint. I realize that a boulder wall will have a greater footprint <br /> than a timber wall but we will count the additional hardcover used and setback requirements will apply. There are other <br /> materials(than timbers)which would result in a more conservative footprint which may also offer a more durable wall. <br /> The illegal hardcover referred to in my email is not meant to infer the property owner installed something illegally. Rather <br /> the landscape plastic and fabric are deemed by our Code to be illegal and therefore cannot be used for a net reduction of <br /> hardcover. I apologize if my terminology was confusing. <br /> The City's hardcover regulations are currently under review and potentially will be amended later this year. However as <br /> the new Code language is still in flux our current regulations must be used. Considering the current state of your project <br /> you may not have the luxury to wait out potential new language that may or may not affect your project. We can discuss <br /> this when we meet if you would like. <br /> Please let me know which of the times listed above will work for you and the property owner. <br /> Thank you - Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning&Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtisOci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> City of Orono SUMMER Office Hours <br /> Monday -Thursday 7:30 am to 5:00 pm <br /> Friday 7:30 am to 11:30 am <br /> From: Chris Baker [mailto:chris@artisticlandscapes.biz] <br /> Sent: Monday, July 09, 2012 12:02 AM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Cc: 'Middleton, Patrick J.' <br /> Subject: RE: Permit 2012-00610 for 720 Tonkawa Rd <br /> 1 <br />
