CITY of ORONO Municipal Offices Stmtlddnss: 2750 Kelley Parliway Orono, MN 55356 MaHtaf Mirtts: P.O. Box 66 Ciystal Bay, MN S5323-0066 May 2,2002 Mr. Revis Stephenson 18S0 Eox Ridge Road Long Lake. MN SS3S6 Dear Mr. Stephenson: I am writing this letter as a followup to our previous correspondence and meetings relating to the fill and regrading of the hillside on your property. As of April 30,2002 no progress has been made on the violations noted below. Road restrictions have been lifted and the City of Orono is requesting all violations be corrected immediately. I. 0 3. 4. The silt fences have not held and must be replaced or repaired. The fill has been located w ithin the required 26* wetland buffer and must be removed. No fill or land alteration is permitted within 26' of a wetland. Soils must be decompacted to the standards set forth by the MC WD in areas within 26' of the wetland. It appears some land alteration has occurred beyond what was approved by the City and MC WD. The City of Orono is requesting you resurvey the property lines and identify any changes to the final grading not consistent with the approved plan. We also noticed the e.xisting hillside has recently been seeded. The Conditional Use Permit required the finished grades match the approved grading plan approved by the Council. Additionally, 4" of top soil is required to be placed above the finished grades prior to seeding. Please contact the City for an inspection as soon as finished grades are established. Once finished grading is approved, the required 4” topsoil must be added and the hillside seeded so the vegetation can establish itself. As soon as seeding is completed, a second inspection is required. These corrections must be completed by May 16,2002, or the City may initiate legal action. Please feel free to contact me as soon as possible to discuss this matter. 1 can be reached at 952-249-4600.
