Andrew Mack From: Andrew Mack Sent: Monday, December 22, 2014 11:08 AM To: 'johnv@gordon-james.com' Subject: Permit Application No: 2014-1392 - 105 Orono Orchard Rd. N Attachments: Escrow Agreement- Building Permit w Erosion Control_2014.pdf; Escrow Agreement- Building Permit w Erosion Control_2014 (Exhibit A).pdf Dear John, Our office has completed the initial review of your building permit application for the above property. I have a number of items needed from you and additional information prior to approval of the permit. The Planning &Zoning review comments are as follows: 1. Two full sets of plans and survey information is needed. Only 1 copy was submitted and the second set becomes the job site information once plans are approved for the permit. 2. We require that you submit separate hard cover calculation sheets for both the existing and proposed hard cover for the property. 3. The architectural building drawings (elevation and building section sheets in particular) do not appear to have the correct scale and therefore I cannot determine the building height by normal calculations. Please resubmit these drawings to a correct scale. 4. I need to verify there are no more than 3 bedrooms in the dwelling with regard to the septic capacity for the site. I was unable to determine this information from the prior building permit for the property on record with the City of Orono. A restrictive condition will also be placed upon the building permit which prohibits connection of any plumbing in the new garage to the septic system, unless this is in fact the intent. If so, another step in the process will be required. We have two ways to accomplish this. 1. I go out to the property and verify this by conducting a walkthrough of the dwelling. 2. The owner of the property writes a letter to accompany the application which states that there exists a total of no more than 3 bedrooms for the dwelling. 5. Please submit the original signatures on the building permit application along with the updated information. Engineering comments: 1. Silt fence should be indicated on the plan immediately down gradient from proposed work where land will be disturbed. The silt fence should be installed by the Contractor and inspected by the City prior to any land disturbing activities. The Contractor must provide a minimum 24 hour notice prior to inspection. 2. A financial security of$2,500 from the Applicant is recommended for erosion control and engineering oversight. The financial security is intended to provide protection in the event that it becomes necessary for the City to install or maintain erosion and sediment control within the project area and covers the cost of vegetation re- establishment if the applicant is unable to follow through with the conditions of approval. Attached please find the required escrow agreement which must be signed by the land owner, or one of them may just stop by the city hall and sign them. The fee may be paid by either the land owner or the General Contractor. 3. The applicant is required to separately obtain Minnehaha Creek Watershed District(MCWD) approval and permitting for their Erosion Control rule. Please submit this information to their office now if you have not already done so. A copy of the approved permit or confirmation that no permit is required must be provided to our office prior to any land altering activities and issuance of the building permit. Please contact me directly should you have any further questions regarding this project.
