Peter has contacted the survey company to address your other items. Thanks, On Thursday, July 28, 2016, Melanie Curtis <MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us>wrote: Peter We have reviewed the as-built survey; and we have the following comments: 1. The As-built survey shows proposed grades and contours. An As-built should depict as-built/existing elevations and grades as all proposed work should be complete at the point the As-built is prepared. No"proposed"contours or improvements should be shown. 2. The As-built spot elevations should be extrapolated into contours per the City Survey requirements (attached). 3. The contour lines and the elevations listed for the retaining walls do not make sense together. As depicted the retaining walls do not appear to be retaining any soil. 4. It appears a retaining wall was constructed onto the neighboring property on the south west side of the property. Was permission granted by the neighboring property owner? If so, a copy of said permission should be provided to the City to be included in the street file. 5. Retaining walls are not allowed within 5 feet of a property boundary without a variance and conditional use permit.There was no CUP/Variance approved to permit the wall in question. The wall should be removed and the property graded as proposed, or an after-the-fact Variance and CUP application should be submitted. The after-the-fact fee is 2x $700 application fee. 6. Resolution 6546 granted CUP and variance approvals regarding the fill below the 100-year floodplain elevation of 931.5'. Based on the as-built wall elevations on the east side of the house it appears you have exceeded the approved fill amounts. Please re-calculate and provide the as-built cut and fill quantities below 931.5'elevation contour and show the cut and filled areas. Also, provide as-built 1/2 foot contours between the middle of the home and the eastern lakeshore for our verification. The swale created to mitigate the floodplain filling should be evident in the topography. 7. The as-built hardcover should be calculated on the City's hardcover form (attached). 8. As of July 25th, there was a pile of soil deposited in the city ROW and wetland area directly opposite the house (west side of the road). This must be removed. There are a number of issues to resolve. Please contact me if you have specific questions. At this time the project is not complete/in compliance with the approved plan. The final certificate of occupancy cannot be issued until all the issues are resolved. Thank you Melanie 2
