Certificate of Survey. An updated survey and landscape plan were provided, however they still show metal edging retaining soil around mature trees within the lakeshore setback. Please provide additional details on the metal edging(material type, screening, height, etc.)The metal tree well edging will be constructed out of 5/8" thick corten metal that will be attached to 2" dia. square tube steel posts (buried below grade). We had to add the metal edge/tree well to prevent us from piling grades up on the root/ base of the existing oak tree in lakeshore setback that we are trying to preserve (due to the requirement of us raising the lowest level floor to be 2' higher than the 100 year flood elevation for the lake). The metal edge will be 2' tall on the west side and follow grades (sloping to 0'/ nothing) an the north and south sides. I spoke with Melanie Curtis, a planner with the city of Orono, about this condition during a recent visit to the city and she thought that this wouldn't be an issue since we were seeking to preserve an existing lakeshore mature tree on the site. Our intention is to sod the area to have a uniform appearance. If required we can plant in the tree well to help conceal the metal edge. I can send images of the corten metal edge and a detail of the condition if required.
