The project <br /> triggers our wetland buffer regulations and it appears that a buffer area must be established. The area south of the <br /> proposed garage you told me was intended to be improved as a parking pad and any changes to the existing driveway to <br /> accommodate the new garage must be shown on the survey so that the appropriate buffer mitigation area can be <br /> determined. <br /> The wetland comments are attached. Our city code can be found online at www.municode.com <br /> Please review the comments and let me know if you have any questions. <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning & Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> Orono, MN 55356 <br /> Direct Dial: 952.249.4627 <br /> Fax: 952.249.4616 <br /> Planning &Zoning Office 952.249.4620 <br /> Email: mcurtisCcilci.orono.mn.us <br /> Website: www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> From: Melanie Curtis <br /> Sent: Friday, March 18, 2011 2:46 PM <br /> To: 'juusman22@yahoo.com' <br /> Subject: Building Permit 2011-00156 <br /> Brent <br /> Please see the attached escrow agreement. You must sign this and return it to the City with a check for $2500 (escrow) <br /> before the permit will be issued. This escrow is partially for erosion control and will be held until the completion of your <br /> project. Because your project triggers the City's wetland buffer requirement your escrow will also be held until we are <br /> into the growing season so the exiting buffer vegetation can be evaluated. Depending on the existing condition of the <br /> buffer, new plantings and invasive species removal may be necessary. <br /> Also, I noted that you've had the 16.5'wetland buffer width shown on your survey, thank you. Obviously, it extends into <br /> the driveway so additional buffer will need to be added in the square footage taken up by the driveway. Your surveyor <br /> should calculate the square footage of the buffer that falls on the driveway and add it to the buffer elsewhere. It may be <br /> helpful for your surveyor to also add the existing topography (and any proposed changes to the grades) to the survey as <br /> well. <br /> Please call me if you have questions, <br /> Melanie <br /> Melanie Curtis <br /> Planning & Zoning Coordinator <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway <br /> 1 <br />
