Box 66 <br />Orono, MN 55323-0066 <br />^cr 1 0 p(\pp <br />Re: Bay Home Funibhings, 3850 Shoreline Drive, Orono, MN <br />RLK Project 8 2002-616-M <br />Dear Mr. Gappa, <br />Yesterday afternoon you and I met with your consulting engineer, Tom Kellogg, regarding the <br />work that Mr. John Chenoweih had done on the above referenced property, speciflcally <br />overlaying his parking lot. <br />After discussing the issues raised in Tom Kellogg ’s letter of September 24,2002, with you and <br />Tom yesterday, Mr. Chenoweth is willing to do the following; <br />Item I A) • Erect a silt fence at the base of the slope that supports the parking lot. <br />B) Place topsoil and seed on top of the existing slope and place a fiber mat <br />over the topsoil until the grass has been established. <br />C) Remove the silt fence once the grass on the slope has been established. <br />Item 2 Mr. Chenoweth does not feel that the placement of asphalt on an existing parking <br />lot should necessitate a wetland delineation. <br />Item 3 Mr. Chenowith ’s neighbor recently constructed a new curb for a new parking lot <br />nearly right on the property line considerably above the existing ground (which <br />will require fill on Mr. Chenoweth ’s property to provide backfill for the new <br />curb). Mr. Chenoweth paved over his existing parking area at the same grade. <br />The bituminous is up against the fence and it has to be to allow trucks access to <br />the existing loading dock. If a five foot setback is constructed, trucks will gQt be <br />able to back into the loading dock. Therefore Mr. Chenoweth can not agree to <br />the five foot setback. <br />Item 4 Storm sewer was never needed on the site and once Item 1 is completed, Mr. <br />Chenoweth believes that the storm water will qqj erode the bank and in fact since <br />the water is not concentrated, will flow uniformly down the bank, rather than <br />concentrated in one area. This will also allow the new grass on the bank to <br />absorb anything that may be on the p irking lot. <br />Offlcet- Hibbing • Minnetonka • Ham Lake • Twin Ports <br />(9S2)9330972 • 600 Blue Circle Drive —Suite NM • Mnnctonkat,MN SS343'• FAX(952)933HS3 <br />fquaf Opportunity Employtr <br />taiBSti
