As you are aware, the City may issue TCOs in situations where weather conditions prevent the finalization of exterior site improvements and other extreme extenuating circumstances. Typically a TCO is not issued as a convenience or during months/weather when the exterior improvements can reasonably be completed... We will issue the TCO, however, there is one issue which must be resolved prior to doing so. We have been working with the retaining wall contractor for the past few months in an attempt to get a plan for the wall(s) so that the retaining walls can be approved and finally constructed. We are still waiting for submittal of a plan that meets our requirements and is shown properly on the survey. During recent discussions with the retaining wall contractor we were told that the wall would be constructed as shown on the original building permit survey dated 11/27/12; we were also told in the same conversation that the wall would be up to 6 feet in height. This dimension is inconsistent with that shown on the aforementioned survey. In short, we are confused and require clarification before we will release the TCO. Please contact me or Christine at 952.249.4620 at your earliest convenience to resolve this issue.
