j CITY of ORONO RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL \�es_ o NO. 4729 B. The proposed restoration plan does replace some trees. Many of the existing trees, that are to be removed include box elders, which the property owners would like to replace with maples and other trees that are deciduous hardwoods. C. The material will be transported to the site via Brown Road to Fox Ridge Road. D. Fox Ridge Road is a City Street that has potential to be disturbed or damaged by vehicles and equipment used for the project. The property owner and contractor are responsible for the maintenance of the road. E. The elevation of the back yard is 966'. The lowest elevation at the wetland is approximately 938'. The total drop of the hillside is 28'. Overall the slope will be decreased to a 4:1 slope. Typically, the City will require grading projects have a finished slope of 3:1 or less. The proposed slope is flatter than 3:1 and therefore meets this requirement. F. A utility easement is located through the property. In the 1970s the easement was acquired for a metro sewer main. The sewer main line was never constructed. Parts of the original easement had been vacated after it was determined the line would not be constructed. G. Below the hillside is a large wetland. The City of Orono requires a 26' setback to wetlands for any land alteration activities. The proposed grading plan does not impact the wetland or wetland setback. A final wetland delineation shall indicate the edge of the protected wetland. H. The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) has been asked to comment on the proposed project. They will require an erosion control permit. I. The hillside will be restored with natural grasses and with some deciduous hardwoods trees that would be replanted after the grade change is complete.
