Below is.an email from me to you from last November regarding 825 Willow Drive South in Orono. I need some <br /> clarification regarding the 100-year floodplain for this property. The City's Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) <br /> indicates a 932.2'elevation for this property. <br /> Should I use, for regulatory purposes: <br /> 1. Use the elevation in the attached elevation certificate (box B9) which reflects a base flood elevation of 930.9'? <br /> 2. Use the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District's H &H study which reflects a 100-year FP elevation as 931.5' <br /> consistent with Lake Minnetonka; <br /> 3. Or should the City fall back on our own SWMP information that the 100-year elevation is 932.2'. <br /> Is there a LOM-A for this address? I could not locate one. What, on that elevation certificate form, does"base flood" <br /> mean? Is that consistent with 100 year? <br /> I would like to give this property owner some direction as they have been in limbo for some time. <br /> Have a nice weekend. <br /> Thank you very much! <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Direct 952.249.4627 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtis(&ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> From: Melanie Curtis <br /> Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2013 1:09 PM <br /> To: 'Strauss, Ceil C (DNR)'; 'Brandon Wisner' <br /> Cc: David P. Martini <br /> Subject: Meeting: 825 Willow Drive S, Orono - 100-year FP determination <br /> Ceil & Brandon: <br /> I have spoken to each of you separately about this address. I would like to know if a meeting the week of December 91h <br /> at the Orono City Hall will fit into your schedules. The purpose for the meeting is to make a determination for the <br /> property owner, John Brunello, as to the elevation of the 100-year floodplain on his property addressed 825 Willow Drive <br /> South in Orono to be used for regulatory purposes. Mr. Brunello would like to construct a new single family home on the <br /> property. <br /> I can start by suggesting we meet in the afternoon on any day (Monday through Friday) the week of December 9 through <br /> 13th; please let me know your preference. <br /> Without confirmation that FEMA is going to adopt the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Districts H & H study which reflects a <br /> 100-year FP elevation as 931.5'consistent with Lake Minnetonka the City will fall back on our own Surface Water <br /> Management Plan (SWMP) information that the 100-year elevation is 932.2'. This is problematic for Mr. Brunello and <br /> results in regulatory inconsistencies regarding lowest floor& lowest opening etc... <br /> I've attached the information I have regarding the 100-year elevation and hope that we can come to a conclusion for the <br /> property owner. Including a scan of sheets I pulled from our SWMP.
