Box 66 <br /> Orono, MN 55356 Crystal Bay, MN 55323-0066 <br /> July 8, 2009 <br /> Sandra Fenske Cole <br /> 2959 Lakeshore Avenue <br /> MEDINA MN 55359 <br /> Dear Ms Cole: <br /> In 2008 the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District issued you a permit to have Hawkins Tree and <br /> Landscape install riprap at 309� North Shore Drive. We have obtained a copy of the permit <br /> plans. Based on these plans and old photographs we have determined that the work Hawkins did <br /> went beyond the scope of the permit and violates City code: <br /> 1. An area was excavated for a"beach" and a retaining wall was placed at the back of this <br /> area. Any excavation within 75 feet of the lake requires a land alteration permit. If more <br /> than 10 cubic yards are excavated a conditional use permit is also required. A conditional <br /> use permit is required for retaining walls within 75 feet of the lake. Such permits are <br /> customarily granted only when the walls are necessary to maintain a steep slope or <br /> existing walls are failing and re-grading to eliminate the need for the walls is � <br /> unreasonable. ,�-' <br /> , <br /> � �r�� <br /> 2. Lakeshore stairs were installed. A permit is required for lakeshore stairs and the property �� U� <br /> is limited to one set no more than four feet wide. ,�� <br /> � <br /> 3. Riprap was placed at an elevation higher than 933.5. Because of the size of the rocks and `~^ <br /> , rt-,� • , �.:,. „,...}:�� _F�,_ , ..; • a a r � ' <br /> tt1:: �1��eiil;'� Ui ili�2i iliaicliizi `liii� Yvi�ivii vi Ut�, i;1iPa�'i i3 i,vii�lu�i�u i�i COVET 2i.� iS T'iGt <br /> permitted within 75 feet of the lake. <br /> By August 31, 2009, you need to bring the property into compliance with City Code by: <br /> 1. Either removing the retaining wall to the rear of the beach area and restoring the slope or <br /> obtaining a conditional use permit. More information about the conditional use permit <br /> application process can found under Permits and Licenses at the City's website <br /> (www.ci.orono.mn.us). A land alteration permit is required for either option. This is a <br /> general permit. Information about this permit can also be found under permits and <br /> licenses at the City's website. <br /> Telephone(952)249-4600 • Fax(952)249-4616 <br /> www.ci.orono.mn.us <br />
