The tiered retaining wall along the north side of the driveway is shown at the maximum 4' height but does not <br /> have the required 2x height separation to the next retaining wall. Therefore it will need to be signed by a <br /> registered professional engineer. <br /> 2. While it is not required, I would strongly recommend providing some separation between the end of the <br /> driveway and the beginning of the retaining wall. This will allow for a vegetative bench which will make it easier <br /> to get in and out of a vehicle. <br /> 3. The architectural drawings and the survey do not match. The architectural drawings show multiple retaining <br /> walls on the left and right side of the house, while the survey only shows one on each side. These drawings <br /> need to match. <br /> Jesse Struve, PE <br /> Director of Public Works/City Engineer <br /> City of Orono <br /> (952) 249-4661 - Direct <br /> (952) 249-4616- Fax <br /> 1 <br /> I <br />
