At that time we observed fiil and grading activity within a Manage 2 <br /> wetland as well as a fence constructed within the wetland and conservation easement area. As we <br /> discussed, permit is required prior to conducting earth moving or construction activities; filling within a <br /> wetland is prohibited. The City understands that the fill and material was moved last fall by someone <br /> working on your behalf. I had hoped to send you a letter sooner however I was attempting to find a <br /> solution for your fence that did not involve removal. Unfortunately according to Orono's codes, fences <br /> are not an allowed structure to be located within the wetland or buffer. I could not find a variance or an <br /> alternate solution for your situation. Therefore this letter will serve as your officiat notification that the fill <br /> and the fencing must be removed and the area restored to its previous grades and the required buffer <br /> 25-feet from the edge of the wetland appropriately re-vegetated with native plant species. <br /> You are required to remove all fill material and restore the area to the original, pre-fill grades, including <br /> removal of the fencing within the wetland, wetland buffer and drainage easement by or before <br /> September 5, 2012. A planting plan for native buffer vegetation must be submitted and approved by the <br /> City prior to planting. Your property will be reinspected for compliance with this order. The MCWD is <br /> copied on this letter and additional follow up from their office may occur. <br /> If you have any questions please contact me at mcurtisCa�ci.oronc <br /> Sincerely, <br /> CITY OF ORONO � � <br /> ��u c� <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning and Zoning Coordinator <br /> Enc%sures Survey; Orono Wetland Regulations; Crystal Bay Pi <br /> c Steve Christopher, Minnehaha Creek Watershed Distri� <br /> Telephone (952) 249-4600 • Fax (.__, <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
