The drainage along the east side of the home will convey water ncross the <br /> neighboring property.Although a note on tl�e plan indicates an easenlent will be necessary,the applicant may <br /> i want to consider some type of a lot line rearrangement with the neiglibor so that an easement is not necessary. <br /> . � • The grading plan should incorporate some type of a swale between the tumaround shown north oftlie l�ome and <br /> the top of the garage so tl�at drainage is not routed over the garage onto the driveway. <br /> � • The proposed retaining wall along the driveway to the garage approaclies 10-feet in height and will requue a <br /> separate engineered design and detail subxnil�al for review aud approval. <br /> • The applicanYs architect inforn�ed us that(he f 11 necessary to complete the grading as sliowt�wil]exceed 2000 <br /> cubic yards.It is vvortli considering moving the proposed home northerly and turning it sliglttly so that tl�e front <br /> of the home is closer to parallel with tl�e sltoreline to minimize the fill necessary and to.iml�rove views to the <br /> lake. . <br /> • Tl�e applicant sliould comn�ission a geotechnicat frm to verify existing soil conditions and certify that tl�e <br /> existing foundation is adequate to support the proposed improvements.Soils in this area may be marginal and <br /> ihe applicant should at le�st detem�ine wlielher or not pilings will Ue necessary. <br /> • Pre and post construction drainage calculaiions should be provided i�or the 2, 1 U,and 1 UU-year storm evenls. <br /> PosL construclio.n discharges of,f site sh�ll nol exceed exisiing discharges. • <br /> I�f you h�tve atry queslions ple�se call me at(651)604-4863. <br /> Yours vecy tculy, <br /> . ]30N�STIR00,ROSLN�,AND�RLIK 8c ASSOCIA7'�S,:[NC. <br /> _� <br /> �47Y,� • <br /> Tom Kellog6 . <br /> ) Cc: Greg Gap��a,City of Orono � <br /> St. P�ui, St. Cloud, Rochester, MN ■ Milw�ul<ee, WI ■ Chicago, IL <br /> Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer�nd Employec Owned <br />
