1 r _ <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> � �I ���� <br /> From: The Kochs [mnkochs@mchsi.com] <br /> Sent: Monday, December 12, 2011 10:31 AM <br /> To: Melanie Curtis <br /> Subject: Re: Global Stability Study <br /> Melanie: <br /> We expect we will install the stairs and leave much of the existing wall(s) in place --except where there might need to be <br /> a cut out to permit a footing for the stairs. We will then plan on burying the wall(s). The planting plan was originally <br /> submitted to and approved by the City, so that is what we expect to plant in the Spring. <br /> Given that we are not removing the wall and doing all the excavation work, am I correct we do not need an independent <br /> engineer to review the work of installing the steps? <br /> We would like to get Jim Smith and his folks moving as soon as possible on the steps. <br /> Thanks. <br /> Bill <br /> P.S. I will fax in the documents to you today, and will drop of the hard copies in the next day or two if that works to get <br /> things approved promptly--today, hopefully. Thanks. <br /> ----- Original Message ----- <br /> From: "Melanie Curtis" <MCurtis(a�ci.orono.mn.us> <br /> To: "Bill Koch (mnkochsCc�mchsi.com)" <mnkochs(a�mchsi.com> <br /> Sent: Thursday, December 8, 2011 4:29:49 PM GMT-06:00 US/Canada Central <br /> Subject: FW: Global Stability Study <br /> Bill <br /> Attached are comments from our engineer. <br /> Please complete and submit the attached application (major land alteration and lake access stair) and revised escrow <br /> agreement. Only the $50 permit fee is required to be submitted as the existing escrow will cover all applications— only <br /> the new escrow agreement is necessary. If the lake access stair design has not changed please let me know and Lyle <br /> Oman (our building official) will review the plans from the file for permit. If revisions were made please submit revised <br /> plans for review. Please submit a slope planting plan for review with the permit application as well. We encourage use of <br /> native plantings and incorporation of trees if/where appropriate. I believe the MCWD has cost-sharing options for <br /> lakeshore slope vegetation projects. Please contact Catherine Bach ((952) 641-4504) if you are interested in more <br /> information. <br /> Also, from my reading it appears new subterranean walls are no longer necessary and the existing walls could be buried. <br /> This seems to be potentially cost saving information. Please detail on your permit application which method you will be <br /> following for our records and when you intend to begin. We will inspect the slope repair upon completion and in the <br /> spring the area should be stabilized and replanted before the escrow will be released. <br /> Thanks - Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning & Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> 1 <br />
