To: Michael Wyatt 12/31/Ol District Technician, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District From: Ed Held 3890 Shoreline Dr., Orono, MN Re: Permits for 3890 Shoreline Dr., Orono ti,,�� . . _ � Dear Mr. Wyatt, Thank you and all the staff involved, especially Jim(Pm sorry I lost his last name), for your prompt attention to my garage project. It can be quite confusing to follow all the appropriate requirements when very infrequently taking on such projects. My wife Marsha and myself are thoroughly in love with our property and the habitat it affords widely varied critters. We will continue to maintain the best possible environment for the natural filtration of the water runoff to our property and the attraction of the entertaining critters. The stakes that Jim observed, on his visit to my property, were of my desired location of a 24'x36' garage. I've since found out that I must ma.intain a 15' setback from the east property line, adjacent to the Henn. County right of way, to the county's facility. The furthest N.E. stake Jim would have observed was 7.5' from that line. Jim recommended, on my voice mail, not to fill more than 6' north, beyond the N.W. stake (left rear corner of the garage). Pm revising my plans to fit in as large a garage as possible. Re-sizing the garage 2' further north, 2' further south (4' larger front to back) and retract 8' from the east property line, I'll propose a 28'�8' garage. Pll check with the concrete contractor, before finalizing my plan, that we can install the slab without having to fill beyond Jim's recommendation. When I have my plans/proposal together, I will supply you with those plans as requested. I hope to start building the garage as soon as Minnesota spring will allow. Thank you again to you and your crew at the MCWD for your quick response to the concerns of my project. Sincerely, ��!�°� Ed Held Cc. Paul Weinber�er, City of Orono,MN
