Melanie Curtis <br /> From: Melanie Curtis <br /> Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 3:05 PM <br /> To: 'Gustafson, Sven' <br /> Cc: 'kwashuta@comcast.net'; 'Tom Flint'; Christine Mattson; Randy Sterns <br /> Subject: As-Built Survey Review- 3926 Cherry Ave/2014-01447 <br /> Sven <br /> We have reviewed the as-built survey for the Washuta home and have the following comments or issues needing <br /> resolution: <br /> 1. There appears to be a new stair and retaining walls (low borders?) within the 75-foot setback from the lake. The <br /> stair is a permitted encroachment, however the walls are not. The walls within the 75-foot setback require <br /> approval of a hardcover variance from the City Council. Please remove the walls and re-grade, if necessary; <br /> submit a revised as-built. <br /> 2. The top of wall and bottom of wall elevations were not provided per the City survey standards (i.e. from the <br /> nearest as built spot elevations) and the survey appears to depict retaining walls in excess of 4 feet. All walls <br /> exceeding 4-feet in height require an engineered plan approved by a licensed engineer. We could not find copies <br /> of approved plans for these wall in the file. The approved plan called out walls"3.8 feet maximum". Please <br /> provide engineered plans or modify the walls and submit a revised as-built. <br /> 3. There appears to be a 6.7 foot elevation difference between the spot elevations near the northwest corner of the <br /> home. There is a window well indicated however, the low spot elevation appears to be outside of it. Clarification <br /> is required. <br /> Also, the survey contains a lot of information and the details of the survey are somewhat lost in all of the extra notations, <br /> spot elevations, etc. Please submit a more legible as-built survey showing the as-built topography, improvements, etc <br /> (remove excessive spot elevations, and other notations). The as-built survey should also reflect the changes requested <br /> above. <br /> Please let me know if you have any questions. <br /> Thanks! <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis, Planner <br /> Direct 952.249.4627 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway, Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Email: mcurtisCa�ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> 1 <br /> I <br />
