Ck GITYofORONO Municipal Offices Street Address: 2750 Kelley Parkway Orono, MN 55356 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 66 Crystal Bay, MN 55323 0066 January 31, 1997 Eugene R. Stromnien, Executive Director Minnetonka Creek Watershed District Gray Freshwater Center 2500 Shadywood Road Navarre, Minnesota 55331 Re: Rip Rap Permit, 2925 Casco Point Road Dear Gene: At your request, a copy of the amended rip rap plan for the above referenced property has been enclosed. You have also asked for more detail on the City's approval of specific land alterations to be completed on the land side of the rip rap project. You have already been advised that the City did not approve the original plan that would have called for the filling of 30 cubic yards of material. This intense a filling project would have required a conditional use permit and variance approval from the City of Orono. Mr. Spartz and Bruce Vang, Orono's Building Inspector, have agreed that final land alterations required to the land side of the rip rap will be approved by Bmce at the time of a site inspection. Mr. Spartz has agreed to call Bruce when the snow has been removed and the distburbed area is ready for restoration. Bruce has advised that it is impossible to make a determination but it is hoped that the borrowing of fill will be limited to "a wheelbarrow full or two of black dirt". It is difficult for staff to make any definite estimates as the information presented to the City is limited to the cross section of the rip rap. We do not have a plan view, survey or topographic map. At the time the snow is cleared away, the inspector hopes to be able to see what the shoreline actually looks like. The goal for the City and we hope for the landowner is to provide an appropriate amount of topsoil so that groundcover is restored to all disburbed areas. The City has not approved any major changes in existing elevations or topography within defined work area of this rip rap project. Telephone (612) 473-7357 • FAX 4734)510 J
