Just to follow-up from my brief ineeting with Joey on Wednesday, please find a few pictures{before and after)of the ' <br /> area that the City of Orono was referring to that has part of our boulder wall in it that is within the buffer area <br /> (southwest corner of the property). <br /> • Photo#1—showing the southwest area of the property before(also showing the location of the silt fence along <br /> the wood line) <br /> • Photo#2—showing the same area after(that the boulders are inside where the fence was) <br /> • Photo#3—basically same picture as#2,just showing the transition from the larger wall this area <br /> • Photo#4—Also wanted to include this'before'photo as I think it is a good illustration of the severity of the <br /> grading/elevation challenges we had to address with our landscaping plan <br /> I had proactively reached out to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District before starting any of our landscaping as my <br /> wife and I knew that some of our backyard was likely up against or potentially in the buffer area and wanted to make <br /> sure we had checked with the appropriate jtarisdiction to ensure we didn't do anything we weren't supposed <br /> to. Through conversations with the MCWD,we were told we would be able to landscape anything inside the silt fence <br /> {which essentially ran along the border of our yard/property). So,staying inside the fence area and trying to not impact <br /> any current trees on the property as well(also by the recommendation of our landscape architect due to the severe <br /> grade and potential impact to continuous washout of soil),we constructed a boulder wall to help alleviate this. <br /> The one tier boulder area in the southwest corner of the property(which is the area of concern)was constructed inside <br /> the silt fence as well and was a way to transition from the grade above to a lower grade keeping in mind slope/drainage <br /> as weil as keeping a barrier in place to stop the soil from e�osion and washing out into the wetland and wetland buffer <br /> area. <br /> Thank you for your help,please let us know if there's anything else we could provide or do! <br /> Casey and Jill Hoehn <br /> 320-282-2579 <br /> This electronic mail (including any attachments) may contain information that is privileged, <br /> confidential, and/or otherwise protected from disclosure to anyone other than its intended recipient(s). <br /> Any dissemination or use of this electronic mail or its contents (including any attachments) by persons <br /> other than the intended recipient(s) is strictly prohibited.
