MN 55323 <br />1379 Park Drive <br />Pile No. 139-05-C <br />Pbt No. 05-3074 <br />Dear Melanie: <br />We made a tile viait to 1379 Park Drive on March 30,2005 to apecifically review the need for an existing retaining wall <br />located aouth and weat of the exiating home. The retaining wall was conatructed to provide support for a path/road from <br />the rear of die house to the lake shore. The neighboring property owner at 1399 Park Drive has indicated that a portion of <br />the existing retaining wall serves to prevent storm water from running onto his property. Based on our site visit we have <br />the following comments with regards to engineering matters: <br />• We generally concur with the comments that a portion of the existing retaining wall serves a beneficial purpose <br />in containing storm water on the 1379 Park Drive property and diverting away from the 1399 Park Drive <br />property. It is our recommendation that the portion of the wall that r ;ntains storm water on the subject property <br />be allowed to remain. We fiirther recommend that approximately 45-feet of that existing wall can be removed <br />and that area regraded without having any negative effects on the neighboring property. The portion of the wall <br />to be removed and the area to be regraded are shown on the attached sketch. <br />• All other non-sbuctural walls should be removed as shown in the drawing dated 3-8-OS provided by the <br />applicant <br />• Erosion control measures should be installed, inspected and approved by the city prior to any work on site. <br />If you have any questions please call me at (651) 604-4863. <br />Yours very truly. <br />BONESTROO, ROSBNE, ANDERLiK A ASSOCIATES.
