Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> May 2, 2002 <br /> Mr. Revis Stephenson <br /> 1850 Fox Ridge Road <br /> Long Lake, MN 55356 <br /> Dear Mr. Stephenson: <br /> I am writing this letter as a followup to our previous correspondence and meetings relating to the fill and <br /> regrading of the hillside on your property. As of April 30,2002 no progress has been made on the violations <br /> noted below. Road restrictions have been lifted and the City of Orono is requesting all violations be corrected <br /> immediately. <br /> 1. The silt fences have not held and must be replaced or repaired. <br /> 2. The fill has been located within the required 26'wetland buffer and must be removed. No fill or land <br /> alteration is permitted within 26'of a wetland. <br /> 3. Soils must be decompacted to the standards set forth by the MCWD in areas within 26'ofthe wetland. <br /> 4. It appears some land alteration has occurred beyond what was approved by the City and MCWD. The <br /> City of Orono is requesting you resurvey the property lines and identify any changes to the final <br /> grading not consistent with the approved plan. <br /> We also noticed the existing hillside has recently been seeded. The Conditional Use Permit required the <br /> finished grades match the approved grading plan approved by the Council. Additionally, 4" of top soil is <br /> required to be placed above the finished grades prior to seeding. <br /> Please contact the City for an inspection as soon as finished grades are established. Once finished grading is <br /> approved, the required 4"topsoil must be added and the hillside seeded so the vegetation can establish itself. <br /> As soon as seeding is completed, a second inspection is required. These corrections must be completed by <br /> May 16, 2002, or the City may initiate legal action. <br /> Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible to discuss this matter. I can be reached at 952-249-4600. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Paul Weinberger, Zoning Administrator <br /> Cc: Michael Wyatt, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> Renae Schubert, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br /> Mike Gaffron, City of Orono <br /> Wendy Bottenberg, City of Orono <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
