Melanie Curtis From: Jesse Struve Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2012 9:30 AM To: 'jhsmith3102@frontiernet.net'; Melanie Curtis Cc: rouser123@aol.com; markg@gronbergassoc.com Subject: 20120809 reply 12-3568 for 4051 Highwood Road Attachments: admin@ci.orono.mn.us_20120809_084513.pdf Bill and Jim, I appreciate the additional information and I do understand what you are planning on doing once you get to the site. Essentially what you are proposing is field fitting the steps once you get out there. With this sort of work, I cannot approve a plan were you will fit it as you go, but it should be looked at prior and have engineered plans submitted with the application prior to arriving on the site. Since the City does a lot of road work, I can provide an example from a road project to accurately portray what I expect for this and all future applications. Your original application included a survey which only showed lines where the steps were being proposed but did not show how the steps were going to fit into the existing site. This would be very similar to the first page of my attachment showing where the road is going to be in relation to the existing road. After my original email,you provided details for how the steps were going to be installed. This is very similar to the second page of the attachment showing the typical section of a road. Finally, what I still need is how are these steps going to fit into the existing grade and how are you planning on tying into the existing grade. What I expect is some cross sections of your proposed steps along the path going down the slope. This is very similar to the third page of my attachment. You should include a cross section at major places of change. I would say if you include something at each major landing pad and at least in one location of the steps between these pads. You should include elevations of the pads and the elevations at the tie in points so I can clearly see what you are proposing. If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached directly at 952-249-4661 or at jstruve@ci.orono.mn.us.
