This request respectfully asks permission to build a two tiered, engineered timber retaining wall on the remaining 90.7 LF of my frontage to complete the wall that was previously started. This wall would retain approximately 8 feet of earth at the north end and 6 feet at the south end.There will be no change in grades,contours,or drainage as a result of this retaining wall. The wall will be designed by a Registered Professional Engineer and constructed by a firm experienced in this type of construction. This wall would not only be functional to eliminate erosion and the risk of failure but would improve the aesthetics significantly. As you can see from the pictures, the walls on the adjacent property have nice plantings and are quite attractive. Enclosed herein are: 1. General Land Use Application Form. 2. Certified site survey prepared by Egan, Field, & Nowak Inc., dated October 24,1995. 3. Survey showing location of proposed additional wall, as well as lot lines, property corners and setbacks from the 929 ft. Lake Minnetonka high water line. 4. Hardcover calculation worksheet which was part of the recent variance application. 5. Photographs showing major erosion in 1987, photos of the newly constructed retaining wall along part of our hillside at the completion of constuction in 1987, recent photos of the front of our property and photos depicting the current condition of the walls on the adjacent property. 6. Check for the $250.00 Conditional Use Permit fee. 7. Certified Property Owners list, labels and plat map.
