On March 31,2016 we received from your surveyor Mark Gronberg a revised survey depicting revised locations for the house,septic systems sites,and driveway,as well as a new grading plan including a rain garden.We noted that a sport court has also been added to the house. On April 11, 2016 the City received a revised building permit proposal including revised house plans, updated septic systems reports, and a landscape plan. Staff has conducted a preliminary review based on the information provided and recommends the following items be submitted or revised in order for your application to be considered complete and for the plan review to continue: 1. Certificate of Survey. The Certificate of Survey submitted is lacking certain items which must be added by the surveyor,as follows: a. Location of the proposed septic system components(transfer from Rusty Olson report). b. Top of Foundation. The top of foundation elevation is shown on the survey. Please have the surveyor show the point or spot on the foundation that the top of foundation elevation is referencing. Please note,we expect the location to be consistent when submitting the foundation as-built survey. 2. Building Plans — Height Issue. While our review confirms that the lowest level of the proposed house is a basement by definition,the defined building height exceeds the 30-foot maximum. Your plans show the upper dormer with window has been removed, which we advised was necessary. However, the defined height is required to be measured based on the existing grade where it abuts the house, not the proposed grade that was used on your building plans. The survey suggests that the highest existing grade at the any point on the house perimeter is at or near elevation 1018'. The lower measuring point used in the height depiction on your plans was approximately 1.5' below the main floor elevation or about 1022'. Based on the 1018' correct measuring point,the building's defined height is approximately 34',exceeding the 30'limit. The building plans (and potentially the survey)will have to be revised to meet the 30' maximum. 3. Rain Garden Specifications. Your surveyor/engineer must provide calculations and specifications for the proposed rain garden,for review by the City Engineer. 4. Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). As a minimum, you will need an MCWD Erosion Control Permit.Your project may trigger other MCWD permitting requirements; please contact the MCWD directly at 952-471-0590 regarding your project. Please note,the City of Orono will not issue a building permit without a copy of the MCWD Erosion Control Permit or documentation stating the proposed project does not trigger any of their permitting requirements.
