Ml • Jefferson City, MO <br />k £ <br />i]** <br />August 31,2000 ■L l' D <br />Mr. Gary Welsh <br />1214 Wildhurst Trail <br />Mound, MN 55364 <br />Re: Brenshell Homes <br />Dear Mr. Welsh: <br />As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed Brenshell Homes development for conformance to <br />Chapter 10 of the Orono Municipal Code and the rules and regulations of the Minnehaha Creek <br />Watershed District. This letter summarizes our findings. <br />Orono Municipal Code - Chapter 10 <br />As shown in the attached Table 1, the proposed development generally conforms to ordinances of the <br />City of Orono. However, a few issues appear inconsistent v/ith the City’s code, including possibly <br />the bluff impact zone, wetland impacts, and one driveway setback. Site design modifications are <br />needed to confoira to these ordinances. <br />Minnehaha Creek Watershed District <br />Table 2 summarizes the rules and regulation of the District and whether the proposed development is <br />m conformance. In general, the propo^l seems in conformance, but the proposed development will <br />eliminate a lOOO-squarri foot wetland. To conform to District rules and the Wetland Conservation <br />Act. any wetland impact over 400 square feet should be avoided. If it cannot be avoided, it needs to <br />be replaced. No wetland replacement plan was provided for our review.
