Catherine and Gordon Meagher � � <br /> 2720 Kelly Avenue <br /> Excelsior MN 55331 � <br /> Dear Mr. and Mrs. Meagher: <br /> I will make sure your letter regarding application#07-3333 is read by the Planning Commission at <br /> their meeting on Monday night. I'm writing because I can answer some of your questions. <br /> Regarding the intent of the work,there is no plan to widen the inlet. The existing wall material will <br /> sta.y in place. What will be replaced are the buried supports (deadmen) and metal rods that hold the <br /> wall against the shore. The Building Inspector reports the original ones were wood. They had <br /> deteriorated so the tops of the wall are tipping in. � � <br /> The excavation on the beach side of the inlet was the contractor starting the repair project without a <br /> permit. The Building Inspector directed him to fill it in, which he did. The project will require the <br /> area to be excavated again. This will require a separate City approval and will include a requirement <br /> for restoration. <br /> The Dunkley's do not own property on the beach side of the inlet. There is a three foot strip of land <br /> along the west side of the seawall that is owned by the people at 2699 Kelly Avenue. Beyond that is <br /> City property. The contractor has written permission from the owners of the three foot strip to do the <br /> work. The separate City approval will grant the contractor permission to work on City property. The <br /> supports that are currently on City property are there with such an approval granted about 1981 when <br /> the original seawall was replaced with the current one. <br /> If approvals are required from the Lake Minnetonka Conservation District and/or the Minnehaha Creek <br /> Watershed District the City will ensure they are received before the building permit is issued for the <br /> proj ect. <br /> I hope this answers your questions. If you should have any ones feel free to call me at 952-249-4623. <br /> Sincerely, � <br /> �� - <br /> elyr�Turner <br /> � <br /> City Planner . <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
