Here is a revised drawing that should have all the info you are requesting on it. This can be printed on an 8.5"x 11" sheet. The diamond pier footings are designed to set on grade with long spikes driven into the ground. This is designed to do minimal disturbance to the ground/slope. The steps and landing will span approx. 60 ft—They will start at the top of the hill and land at the bottom. The land levels out quite a distance from the lake. What other information do you need? Thank you, Mike Kling From: Melanie Curtis [mailto:MCurtis@ci.orono.mn.us] Sent: Friday,July 17, 2015 9:26 AM To: 'mike@landscapesunlimitedmn.com' Subject: RE: 790 Brown road landscaping permit#2015-00875 Mike I received your packet dropped off yesterday afternoon and I have some questions... 1. Gonyea Homes is now listed as the owner on your application instead of Tom Hogan. I assume this is because Hogans don't own the property yet, correct? I will throw the previously emailed application form away and use the one dropped off yesterday. 2. Regarding the stairs: I'm not sure of the intended construction. a. How far down the property toward the lake will the stair extend? Based on your plans they appear to stop mid-way to the lake. b. What material will be used for the treads, risers, and landings? c. Are the diamond pier footings set on grade or buried? d. Are the treads set to hang on top of the landings (elevated above ground) or set on the ground? e. The landings allowed per code are not to exceed 32 square feet in area (see below) —the upper landing is too large. Sec. 78-1282. -Driveways,stairways, lifts and landings. (a) A driveway no wider than eight feet is permitted in the shoreland or tributary setback zone if the property has no other frontage on or access to a public or private road. (b) Stairways and lifts are the preferred alternative to major topographic alterations for achieving access up and down bluffs and steep slopes to shore areas. Stairways, lifts and landings shall be allowed in the shore setback zone and must meet the following design requirements: (1) Stainrvays and lifts mus#not exceed four feet in width. (2) Landings for stairways and lifts shall not exceed 32 square feet in area. 1
