Box 66I Fax (952) 249-4616 <br />Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 www.d.orono.mn.us <br />We have been informed by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District that you intend to install riprap on your <br />property at 3385 Crystal Bay Road. Because riprap is often part of a larger project we want to alert you to some <br />related City code provisions so you can avoid the hassle and expense of obtaining an after -the -fact permit or even <br />having to undo some of the work. <br />With few exceptions, including riprap and lakeshore steps, City code prohibits the installation of impervious <br />surfaces within 75 feet of the lake. Any sort of fabric is considered impervious. This means that riprap rock may <br />be extended farther than allowed by the riprap permit but no fabric may be installed under it. <br />The following activities require a permit from the City: <br />• Any earth movement outside the area where the rip rap will be placed <br />• Replacement of retaining walls and/or installation of new retaining walls within 75 feet of the lake <br />(regardless of the height of the walls) <br />• Construction or replacement of lakeshore steps <br />• Removal of trees (dead or alive) six inches in diameter or larger within 75 feet of the lake <br />• Removal of vegetation on any slope within 75 feet of the lake that is too steep to easily walk <br />• Removal of vegetation or trimming of trees larger than six feet to provide a view of the lake from the <br />house <br />• Total or near total removal of vegetation within 75 feet of the lake not part of another permit <br />A tree removal permit can be arranged by calling 952-249-4600. For the other permits your contractor must <br />submit a permit application and plans for review. Additional information can be found at the City website, <br />www.ci.orono.mn.us. <br />If you have any questions feel free to contact me at cmattson(o)ci.orono.mn.us or at 952-249-4620. <br />Sincerely, <br />CITY OF ORONO <br />( 4Ak) mosn, <br />Christine Mattson <br />Planning Assistant <br />C Concept Landscaping <br />
