The <br />proposed improvxments include removinR an existing residence and constructing a new home. The home <br />construction will require some site grading to control and direct drainage. Wc have the following conunenis <br />with regards to cnginccnng matters <br />• The pro|HJsed house elevations provided do not agiec with the proposed grading plan. Tlie lakeside <br />house elevation show* a proposed two story home with a full basement. The grading plan shows <br />grading to provide a lookout on the lakeside of the home. The grading necessary to construct a lookout <br />will likely encroach into the 75-foot setback and wc would strongly discourage this <br />• Hie proposed lop of foundation is approximately 2 5 feet higher than the existing house to the north. <br />This will create difficulty in grading a swale along the north side of the pro|>oscd home Wc <br />rccomnKnd that the proposed top of foundation elevation be revised to be no higher than 955.0 <br />• ITte final grading plans should include side yard swales to direct water towards the lake. <br />• We did not notice any steps to the lake when we \isitcd the site. I he slope to the lake is steep and <br />heavily vegetated. Plans should include step construction to the lake and provisions for stabilizing <br />disturlicd areas where the steps are constructed and the site where the existing shed will hr • .-moved. <br />• Final house plans should include gullets and downspouts that direct roof drainage to the side yard <br />• Ihc silt fence should be installed at the 75-foot setback fiom the lake. AH erosion control measures <br />should be installed, inspected and approsTd by city staff pnor to any work on site <br />If you luve any questions please call me at (651) 604-4863. <br />Yours very truly. <br />BONFSTROO.
