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 wa11 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 walis 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 /> 2. Lakeshore stairs were installed. A permit is required for lakeshore stairs and the property <br /> is limited to one set no more than four feet wide. <br /> 3. Riprap was placed at an elevation higher than 933.5. Because of the size of the rocks and <br /> the presence of filter material this portion of the riprap is considered hardcover and is not <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 /> obta.ining 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 />
