I have placed them in your inbox for review along with an email from the neighbor to the south. Please review and approve, if appropriate. Melanie Curtis �952.249.4627 �mcurtis@ci.orono.mn.us From: Adam Edwards Sent: Wednesday, January 07, 2015 3:36 PM To: Christine Mattson Cc: Melanie Curtis Subject: 2015-00006 2618 Casco Point Rd Chris, I've completed a grading review of the proposed plans for the permit/ property listed in the subject line and provide the following comments: 1. The southern retaining wall has a lower top of wall elevation than bottom of wall elevation (TW=940.0; BW=941.5). 2. The middle of the southern retaining wall is listed an 4 Ft(TW=945.0; BW=941.0). The northern retaining wall is shown to be 4 ft. (TW=947; BW=943 &TW=946; BW=942;TW=946.5; BW=942.5) Walls 4' or greater in height must be designed by a licensed professional, and plans must be submitted to the City for review. 3. The site plan/survey does not depict the drainage pattern as required by the City Survey submittal standards. 4. Based on the proposed contour lines, the plan would direct surface drainage from the west of the house into the southern neighbors property Via a swale. A site plan should be developed to ensure runoff is not directed into the neighboring properties. 5.A silt fence or other erosion control measure is not is not depicted on the plan. A silt fence or other appropriate erosion control mechanism should be planned for and must be installed and inspected by the City prior to any land disturbing activities. The Contractor must provide a minimum 24 hour notice prior to inspection. Adam Adam T. Edwards, P.E. Director of Public Works/City Engineer City of Orono (952) 249-4661 aedwards@ci.orono.mn.us 1
