That <br /> survey was depicting site grades that the surveyor encountered on the site. It is apparent that the actual encountered <br /> site grading at this location does not match the approved development grading plan (attached). The actual grading <br /> encountered by the surveyor apparently is a result of additional fill and grade elevation above the intended and <br /> approved development grading plan. No as-built grading plan for the development has been submitted as of this date to <br /> confirm the current actual grades match the approved development grading plan, and the final grading has not been <br /> approved. <br /> The issue is that the calculations for height and number of stories for all new home construction are intended to be <br /> based on the proposed grades shown on the approved development grading plan, not on the higher unapproved grades <br /> that apparently exist today. The proposed grades on the approved development grading plan establish the 'new existing <br /> grades'for calculation purposes. <br /> These concepts were discussed in a meeting on Friday May 8th regarding 2330 Oliver Hill. Please have the survey <br /> updated to reflect the approved development grading plan grades as existing grades.The survey should note that the <br /> existing grades are per the approved development grading plan dated 3-14-2014 and do not match the current field <br /> elevations. After the survey has been updated, please submit two,full-size copies for our review. <br /> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. <br /> Christine Mattson <br /> Planning Assistant <br /> City of Orono <br /> 2750 Kelley Parkway I Orono I MN 155356(physical address) <br /> PO Box 66 I Crystal Bay I MN 155323-0066(mailing address) <br /> 21 952.249.4620 18 952.249.4616 <br /> cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us I www.ci.orono.mn.us <br /> Office Hours: Monday- Friday 8 am to 4:30 pm <br /> PLEASE NOTE: Summer Office Hours start Monday,May 18,2015 <br /> Monday-Thursday: 7:30 am to 5 pm/Friday 7:30 to 11:30 am <br /> OUR OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED: Monday, May 25,2015(Memorial Day) <br /> From: John van Dyck[mailto:johnv@gordon-james.com] <br /> Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2015 11:09 AM <br /> 1 <br />
