Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> November 17, 2010 <br /> Steve Zawayski <br /> 5503 Lakeview Drive <br /> Edina, MN 55424 <br /> We have been informed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District that you intend to install riprap on your <br /> property at 724 Tonkawa Road. Because riprap is often part of a larger project we want to alert you to some <br /> related City code provisions so you can avoid the hassle and expense of obtaining an after-the-fact permit or even <br /> having to undo some of the work. <br /> With few exceptions, including riprap and lakeshore steps, City code prohibits the installation of impervious <br /> surfaces within 75 feet of the lake. Any sort of fabric is considered impervious. This means that riprap rock may <br /> be extended farther than allowed by the riprap permit but no fabric may be installed under it. <br /> The following activities require a permit from the City: <br /> • Any earth movement outside the area where the rip rap will be placed <br /> • Replacement of retaining walls and/or installation of new retaining walls within 75 feet of the lake <br /> (regardless of the height of the walls) <br /> • Construction or replacement of lakeshore steps <br /> • Removal of trees(dead or alive) six inches in diameter or larger within 75 feet of the lake <br /> • Removal of vegetation on any slope within 75 feet of the lake that is too steep to easily walk <br /> • Removal of vegetation or trimming of trees larger than six feet to provide a view of the lake from the <br /> house <br /> • Total or near total removal of vegetation within 75 feet of the lake not part of another permit <br /> A tree removal permit can be arranged by calling 952-249-4600. For the other permits your contractor must <br /> submit a permit application and plans for review. Additional information can be found at the City website, <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us. <br /> If you have any questions feel free to contact me at cmattsonD-ci.orono.mn.us or at 952-249-4627. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ristine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> c Minnetonka Portable Dredging; 500 Westlake Street; Excelsior, MN 55331 <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www ci.orono.mn.us <br />
