Memorandum Bonestroo 2335 tighvey 36 W To. Melanie Curtis Project Robinson Majestic Spruce Plat Date: 7/8/2011 St. WAN 55113 From John Smyth Clint: City or Orono Td 651-6364600 Fa 651-636-1311 Re: Wedand Code Compliance Check File No: 139-08000 www1wertmo.mm Remarks: There are two lots within the Robinson Majestic Spruce Plat There are two separate owners for each lot It is my understanding that we likely have two separate escrows for each lot Lot I should have a$1,800 escrow and Lot 2 should have a$6,000 escrow. At this point most of the required work has been completed by the owner for Lot 2 (see photo documentation). This includes: 1. Moving the pasture fence to the upslope edge of the buffer of Wedand A 2. Seeding the buffer of Wedand B 3. Creating storm pond per watershed requirements There is still thistle that needs to be removed within the Buffer of Wedand A. This is required as part of the City Wetland Code and was listed as an activity on the approved Wetland Buffer Management Plan submitted by the landowner. I talked to the landowner for Lot 2 and he understands that the thistle will need to be removed prior to the City being able to return the$6,000 escrow. Once this is completed he will contact the City and we can check to see if the work has been completed. During a previous site visit the buffer of Wetland B on lot I was converted to turf and mowed by the landowner or builder. The builder was notified that this was not allowed. The mowing has (eased within the buffer. This buffer has thisle that will need to be removed prior to the escrow being returned (see photo documentation). I did not get a chance to talk to the landowner of this lot
