Box 66 <br />Orono, MN 55323-0066 <br />!• • <br />'j'-’f ' 0 <br />CITY Ur Cf?o,Vo <br />Re: Bay Home Furnishings, 3850 Shoreline Drive, Orono, MN <br />RLK Project» 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 Chenowelh had done on the above referenced propertj', specifical*-. <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 willina 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 *’as been established. <br />Item 2 Mr. Chenoweth does not feel that the placement of asphalt on an e.xisting 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 c.\isting 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 not 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 i is completed, Mr. <br />Chenoweth believes that the storm water will not erode the bank and in fact since <br />the water is not concentrated, will flow uniformly dowu 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 parking lot. <br />Offices: Hibbing • Minnetonka • Ham Lake • Twin Ports <br />(952)933-0972 • 6110 Blue Circle Drive-* Suite K)0 • Minnetonka, MN 55343 • FAX (952) 933-1153 <br />Equal Opportunity Employer
