In some instances, additional permits may be required. <br /> In this case,the survey submitted dated 8-30-13 shows retaining walls south of the patio which were not on the <br /> approved permit survey. As I discussed with the landscaper,John Bauman today, retaining or landscape walls not <br /> shown on approved plans require new permits. Retaining or landscape walls under four feet require a zoning permit, <br /> copy of the application attached. Retaining or landscape walls four feet or over require a building permit. Attached is <br /> our information sheet on Landscape Walls and Retaining Walls. <br /> Please have the survey reflect the top and bottom elevations for each retaining wall. Tiered walls are considered one <br /> wall unless they are separated by twice the height of the higher wall. Separation is measured from the back of the lower <br /> wall to the face of the upper wall. As I explained to Mr. Bauman, if the walls do not meet the separation we will require <br /> the walls be certified by a professional engineer. <br /> Also, please note,the property owners will not be allowed to move in (occupy) the home until the as-built survey has <br /> been submitted and approved and we issue a certificate of occupancy. <br /> Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelly Parkway Orono MN 55356(physical addressJ <br /> PO Box 66 Crystal Bay MN 55323-0066 (mailing addressJ <br /> `� 952.249.4620 8 952.249.4616 <br /> � cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us � www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm <br /> 1 <br />
