However, according to a letter sent to you on August 8th and subsequent follow up emails sent on August 31st(enclosed) we have not yet received all of the requested information, specifically as noted in the Bolton & Menk letter dated 08/26/16 as follows: 1. The survey must be revised to show all contours shown on the approved grading plan dated September 18, 2015. In addition, all improvements that have been made to the property must be shown. Additional improvements include but are not necessarily limited to the following: a. Landscaped berm along the west property line; b. Well and other irrigation features; c. Fountain; and d. Limits of gravel surfaces. 2. Additional detail must be provided for the southwest corner of the property, including contours into the neighboring property as shown on the approved plan. Additional detail must also be shown to better define the overflow Swale to Watertown Road. 3. As shown on the approved plan dated September 18, 2015, the approved wetland boundary must be shown on the survey along with the 2014 excavated area that was to be restored to the original elevation of 997.5. 4. A significant amount of fill has been placed within the approved wetland boundary. Coordinate with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed for immediate removal and restoration of the wetland. 5. The landscaped berm constructed along the west property is not an approved improvement. Although attempts have been made to work with you to restore the drainage patterns along the berm to pre-project conditions, drainage issues still exist. Therefore, the berm must be immediately removed and the area must be restored to pre-project conditions. 6. Provide the cut and fill calculations both in and out of the wetland on the property. Wetland Credits: In your most recent correspondence you acknowledge that you have put fill in the wetland. This fill was not authorized, is contrary to your approved plan, and violates the law. Your most recent correspondence indicates that you will be applying for wetland credits. Please be advised that the wetland credits will not satisfy the approved plan. The fill must be removed. On August 29th the City issued a permit for installation of a flagpole on your property. At that time you were provided with the City's regulations regarding height which you acknowledged. As constructed the flagpole appears to exceed the maximum 30-foot height limit and must be removed immediately.
