After our discussions with your surveyor we now understand over 501 cubic yards of fill was deposited at the property. Additionally we understand that you wish to bring in additional fill for the creation of a building pad. This amount of fill requires a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application to be approved by the City Council. A CUP has a fee of$700. Because a portion of the work was conducted prior to approval a double fee($1400)shall apply. As the initial 501+cubic yards of�II was brought in prior to City approval your property is considered in violation and after the fact fees apply. The following items must be submitted or revised with your CUP Application to remove the "violation"status from your property: 1. Certificate of Survey. The survey submitted (dated February 7, 2012) must be revised to reflect the following in addition to the standard City survey requirements: • A legend identifying the labels shown; • An explanation of"1/2 alt mound"; • A calculation the total amount of�II currently brought to the site; • Illustrate the limits of completed grading; • Pre-fill topography/contours; • A calculation of additional fill to be brought to the site; and • Show intended post-fill contours/grading ptan. 2. Wetland Delineation. The wetland delineation must be approved by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD). Please provide a wetland delineation report and the MCWD approval of the delineation.. The delineated edge of the Preserve wetland must be shown on the survey, along with the required 50' buffer and 20' structure setback from the buffer. 3. Erosion Control. Submit an erosion control plan or a copy ofthe MCWD Erosion Control Permit. 4. Escrow & Escrow Agreement. Conditional Use Permits require submittal of an escrow and an escrow agreement. The purpose of the escrow is to guarantee reimbursement to the City for out-of-pocket costs incurred during the review of your conditional use permit. Due to the after the fact status of the property, the required escrow amount for conditional use permits is $2000. The escrow agreement is enclosed. The property owner must sign the escrow agreement and submit a check for$2000. Telephone(952)249-4600•Fax(952)249-4616 www.ci.orono.mn.us
