Schneider'; Christine Mattson <br /> Subject: 105 Creek Ridge Pass #2014-00074 <br /> Attachments: Creekside Conservation Easement.pdf <br /> John <br /> The building permit for 105 Creek Ridge Pass is still here in our drawer to be issued. I stopped out at the site today to <br /> investigate a tree cutting violation. It appears to me that trees and shrubs were removed from the conservation <br /> easement area within the 50'setback from the west property line. I have attached the Creek Ridge Conservation <br /> Easement document for your reference. Additionally, while I was there I observed a worker in an excavator breaking <br /> frost and removing snow from the site I was unable to determine whether or not any changes to the grade had been <br /> made. <br /> The permit has not been issued. The EXTENT of the work you are allowed to perform without permits is establishment of <br /> erosion control measures, snow removal and (allowed) tree removals. Digging, excavating, frost breaking or altering the <br /> grade is not permitted. <br /> As a result of what appears to be a violation of the conservation easement, prior to issuance of the permit you must move <br /> the silt fence 50'from the west property line establishing the extent of the conservation easement area. If it is <br /> determined that vegetation removals or grading occurred within the 50'conservation easement area you will need to <br /> provide a restoration plan prior to permit issuance. <br /> Please let me know if you have questions. Your cooperation is appreciated. <br /> 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 /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtis[c�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 1 <br />
