La Fond Owner and General Contractor Son of A Carpenter, Inc. 763.228.5407 cell www.sonofacarpenter.net RE: Declaration for Permit application #10-310: 2875 Wear Circle, Orono Thank you for contacting me recommending several documents for consideration. I appreciate your concern for the district in which you work. After reviewing all the documents, I have done all I can to make accommodations for your requests to be met. Below is a brief of progress thus far. The application the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District required for the construction of a single family home at 2875 Wear Circle in Orono was confirmed as received by you on October 12, 2010. It is currently incomplete pending further requirement detailed here below. I understand submission of the following items is needed to complete the application: 1. $10 Permit Application Fee—payable by check($100 after-the-fact fee has been waived) 2. Revised plan showing the required 30' wetland buffer adjacent to the wetland boundary indicated on the plan set (*Note: If the wetland buffer area is going to be disturbed by grading, a wetland buffer planting plan, maintenance plan, and monitoring plan will be required) 3. Recorded Declaration for the wetland buffer on site (see attached memo&template) 4. Location of required wetland buffer signs (at each lot line where it crosses a wetland buffer and where needed to indicate the contour of the buffer) Item #1: A check has been written and is clipped to the application papers. The check will be mailed with the papers you have requested. Thank you for waiving after the fact fees, as we were informed there was previously no need to place an application with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. Item #2: The survey company which has worked this property is presently processing a modification of the survey plan to be in agreement with your request, namely, that the wetland buffer be changed from 25 feet to 30 feet. This process takes time and scheduling, and the survey company confirmed with me today via phone conversation that the modifications will be completed today (Thursday, October 28, 2010) or tomorrow (Friday, October 29, 2010). Once this modification is made and submitted to me I will then need to pass it along to you and update that file with the city of Orono. 1
