Christine Mattson From: Christine Mattson Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 7:48 AM To: 'Rodney Colson' Cc: Melanie Curtis Subject: 3759 Casco Ave/#2014-00554 Rodney, Per our telephone conversation from yesterday,the current plans indicate the proposal exceeds the city's allowed structural coverage of 15%. Square footage of structure/gross area of lot (2415/15,489 = 15.59%). 15%of the gross area of the lot is 2,323 sf. Our City Engineer's comments from your previous application still apply: 1. The survey needs to have the proposed erosion control shown on the survey. 2. The survey needs to have the proposed contours shown. 3. While the survey shows drainage arrows,the proposed contours need to show a swale to maintain drainage on their property(both sides of house) 4. According to the right and left elevations, it appears to have significant drops in the proposed grade. You should look to see if retaining walls would be required and if it is determined retaining walls are needed,they should be shown on the survey. 5. The survey shows a bituminous patch just off Casco Ave within the City's ROW. This is not allowed and needs to be removed. Also, 1. Although hardcover calculations are shown on the survey, please have the surveyor prepare them using the City's hardcover calculation forms. 2. The surveyor should show the wetland buffer setback of 35' on the survey. 3. If the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District hasn't already required you to post signs,the City will require you to purchase our Wetland Buffer signs to be placed along the wetland buffer. 4. The Right Elevation on Sheet 1 of the building plans shows a lower level window. The grading plan should account for this window. 5. The Rear Elevation on Sheet 1 of the building plans shows a patio door. According to IRC R311.4.3 a landing is required outside the patio door, minimum of 3' x 3' unless the door opening is wider. This landing should be accounted for in the hardcover calculations and shown on the survey. The building plans and house footprint on the survey do not match, please correct.
