Christine Mattson From: Jesse Struve Sent: Friday, April 18, 2014 3:19 PM To: Melanie Curtis Cc: Christine Mattson Subject: 20140418 1535 Fairview Cottage Lane#14-0304 Melanie, I reviewed the survey for the proposed house and have the following comments: 1. The 75' setback from the lake and the Average Lakeshore setbacks need to be shown. 2. We will need a notarized letter from the neighbor agreeing to the proposed grading on their property prior to issuing a permit. 3. The survey needs to show proposed location of silt fence. 4. There appears to be retaining along the south and southeast sides of the house. The survey should call out the top of wall (TW) and bottom of wall (BW) elevations. Any wall over 4' in height and a tiered retaining wall not separated by 2x the height of the upper wall (as measured from the face of the upper wall to the back of the lower wall), will need to be designed by a registered professional engineer. If when I perform my as-built site review it does not meet the requirements,the applicant will be required to have an engineer sign off on the construction after-the-fact. 5. They are proposing a long sloped path from the back of the house toward the lake. This appears to extend into the 0-75' zone which is not allowed. Furthermore, the survey shows significant grading within the 0-75' zone as well. This is not allowed unless the applicant goes through a conditional use permit (CUP) process. 6. Is this path going to be grass or something else? 7. There is also a note, "remove/revise existing walls as necessary to match grade" by the lake. Again, the application will need to show what work is being done to these walls.
