I tried giving you a call to talk about your <br /> comments, but I the system didn't let me leave a voicemail. Please see our responses in red below. <br /> . There appears to be planned grading to the south of the silt fence. SedimenUerosion control could be included on the downhill <br /> gradient for all grading.We will revise our plan to show silt fencing downhil�of all planned grading. <br /> • The landscape plan and survey show a 3' height retaining wall south of the driveway. City Code sections allows a retaining wall up to <br /> 2' in height within the first 5'of the property line. Please modify the landscape plan and survey and re-submit.This wall is free- <br /> standing and will not be retaining grade. On another project that we are working on in Orono(1095 Ferndale Road,)Melanie Curtis let <br /> us know that this type of free-standing wall is only subject to the same requirements of a fence. Please let us know if Melanie's advice <br /> applies to this case as well. <br /> . The landscape plan indicates a proposed 4'tall retaining wall, but no wall is shown. Please note retaining walls 4'or taller require a <br /> building permit and engineered plans. Please provide clarification. This note was referring to an earlier iteration of the design and <br /> should not have been included on the current plan. I apologize for the confusion. <br /> Thank you again for your help with this project. <br /> Best regards, <br /> Emma <br /> EMMA FROH � Associate <br /> Travis Van Liere Studio,LLC � Landscape Architecteare <br /> 2i i ist St.North,#3S� � NII'LS,MN ! 5540i <br /> T 512 345 4275 � tvlstudio.com <br /> From: Christine Mattson [mailto:CMattson@ci.orono.mn.us] <br /> Sent: Friday, April 21, 2017 1:13 PM <br /> To: Kyle Hannigan <khanni�an@landscaperenovations.com> <br /> Subject: 1220 Bracketts Point Road/#2017-00355 <br /> Kyle, <br /> The City has reviewed the revised landscape plan &survey and has the following comments: <br /> • There appears to be planned grading to the south of the silt fence.
