Memorandum � Bonestroo <br /> 2335 Highway 36 W <br /> To: Melanie Curtis Projecc: 3320 Fox Street Date: 10/11/2001 St.Paul, MN iill3 <br /> From: John Smyth Llient: Orono Tel 651-636-4600 <br /> Fax 651-636-1311 <br /> Re: Wetland Ordinance Compliance Check File No: 139-01000 www.bonescroo.com <br /> Remarks: <br /> A follow-up compliance check for 3320 Fox Street was completed on October 11, 2001 to determine if the CO can <br /> be granted to the property owner. <br /> The buffer currently contains dense vegetation and is acceptable under the wetland ordinance. The rainwater <br /> garden has been installed at the discharge point of the drainage swale. The rainwater garden is currently <br /> functioning more like a wetland treatment system due to the clay soils reducing infiltration rates. In this case it <br /> appears to be providing the water quality treatment intended. Photo documentation of the buffer and rainwater <br /> garden is provided on the following pages. <br /> The CO can be granted for the property. The homeowner should be made aware that there are some spots of <br /> thistle that occur within the buffer that should be treated before they become a nuisance. There are also a <br /> number of maintenance activities that could occur in the buffer to support the development of native vegetation <br /> and enhance the appearance and function of the buffer. The homeowner can contact me at (651) 604-4108 for <br /> more details regarding maintenance and enhancement opportunities. <br />
