- Mr. and Mrs. Orville Fisher October 26, 1995 Page 2 3. Section 10.55, Subd. 8 - This section of the code would prohibit the filling of floodplain areas. It appears that fill has been placed at or below the 931.5 elevation. 4. Section 10.03, Subd. 19i21 -Conditional use permit is required for land alterations in excess of 100 cubic yards. 5. Section 10.56, Subd. 16 (H-2) (Section 10.56, Subd. 3,Def. 13) -Vegeta.tion has been removed and the area covered with fabric and/or sand. Staff has enclosed the above referenced sections of the code for your information. It is apparent that the contractor that was used to complete your lakeshore improvements was not certified by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District. A licensed contractor would have known the rules and regulations dealing with the placement of a sand blanket at your shoreline. It is my understanding that the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District has reviewed the violations within your lakeshore yard at a meeting held sometime within the week of October 23rd. I am not certain as to the exact date of the meeting nor the outcome of their discussion. In light of your very recent "after-the-fact" variance/conditional use permit review in November of 1993 in which the very same sections of the code were violated,I must ask that you arrange to meet with the Orono staff no later than Monday,November 6th, to discuss the violations and a schedule for removal of all violations as staff cannot recommend that you apply for a land use application. Please contact my office at your very earliest convenience so that we can arrange for a meeting. Sincerely, I�'�C--��zc.�/L' �� Jeanne A.
