Robinson <br /> 505 Willow Drive S <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> RE: Majestic Spruce Plat/Wetland Buffer Compliance <br /> 505 Willow Drive South <br /> In November prior to the heavy snowfall, city staff performed an inspection to finalize the Majestic Spruce plat <br /> wetland buffer compliance component. Staff observed the wetland buffer improvements as required with the plat <br /> of Majestic Spruce had not been completed. Majestic Spruce plat is the subdivision application which created the <br /> separate lots at 2400 Fox Street and 505 Willow Drive South. <br /> Lot 2 (505 Willow Drive S) contains two manage 2 classification wetlands which require a 25' buffer(Wetland A is <br /> the large wetland on the north half of Lot 2; and wetland B is the smaller wetland which spans both lots). The plat <br /> triggered the buffer improvement requirement in Orono's wetland regulations. As part of the plat approval a <br /> Wetland Buffer Establishment and Management Plan was submitted and approved. Upon inspection it appears <br /> that Wetland Buffer Establishment and Management Plan has not been completed for either of the two properties <br /> in this Plat. In order to bring the property into compliance the approved Plan must be implemented to comply with <br /> City Code section 78-1605(3). <br /> This letter is your notification that your property must be brought into compliance with the approved Plan and City <br /> wetland regulations. Please submit a plan and timeline for completion of the required improvements by January <br /> 28, 2011. Please be advised, if you fail to comply with the wetland buffer requirements, the City will enter the <br /> property and fulfill the requirements. The City continues to hold the $6,000 escrow deposit associated with the <br /> Majestic Spruce project. Any costs to bring the property into compliance in excess of the escrow will be assessed <br /> to the properties. <br /> I have attached copies of the Majestic Spruce final plat resolution, memos from John Smyth, the City's wetland <br /> specialist and the wetland buffer conservation easement and covenant documents, as well as the relevant <br /> wetland code sections for your reference. <br /> If you have any questions, please contact me at mcurtis(&-ci.orono.mn.us or 952.249.4627. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF QRZONO , <br /> 4alat�� <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning &Zoning Coordinator <br /> Attachments <br /> c: Michelle Winer—via email <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
