The <br /> site occupies the bluff above the west end of Long Lake with slopes to the wetland area north and west <br /> of the lake. Exhibits prepared by your engineer and land surveyor Gronberg and Associates, <br /> demonstrate the configuration of the property including the location of the proposed structure, bluff line <br /> and other pertinent features as defined by the local bluff ordinances imposed after the lot was originally <br /> plotted in 1969. <br /> The City of Orono 2010-2030 Community Management Plan' indicates that "Orono's land forms are <br /> , highly varied as the result of four separate glacial scourings . . . Due to the range in type and location <br /> of deposited materials, the composition of the soils is complex and highly varied . . . Consequently, the <br /> ability of each soil type to adequately accommodate development varies considerably in Orono. <br /> Careful examination of each site is needed to determine the most appropriate land use for individual <br /> properties." <br /> Carl Anderson Engineering was asked to examine soil conditions at the site and comment on the soil <br /> stability near the bluff zone and its ability to support the proposed structure in the Gronberg survey. A <br /> soil study was accomplished by examination of soil and aerial maps augmented by direct examination <br /> of the onsite soils by use of augured test probes. <br /> Geotechnical Observations: <br /> I��V �• � A <br /> The map exhibit on the right was �K <br /> prepared by superimposing an <br /> -u� <br /> aerial photograph showing soil '�;«,,. <br /> boundaries onto a recent aerial <br /> photograph of the subject site ,,y <br /> copied from the Hennepin County - :r. _ <br /> property information web site. �� <br /> The property is outlined with a <br /> � �I <br /> cyan colored, double line border, <br /> the soil boundaries are bold yellow ', . <br /> lines. Other lot lines are narrow <br /> yellow lines. The soil boundaries <br /> were copied from map sheet 43 of <br /> the "Soil Survey of Hennepin <br /> County Minnesota", published in <br /> � http://docs.ci.orono.mn.us/CompPlanUpdateFinalPlanUpdated091310/20102030CMPPostadoptionSummarywithMaps.pdf <br />
