Miiuiehaha Creek Watershed District maps indicate potential areas of wetland within the property. You must have the wetlands delineated by a wetland professional and show their boundaries on the Certificate of Survey. 3. Grading and drainage plan. Due to relatively flat topography, plan must indicate existing and proposed contours to confirm appropriate site drainage and allow verification of building height limit compliance. 4. �-Iennepin County Driveway Aecess Permit. Because the access is to a County Road, the driveway entrance requires County approval. Please feel free to contact Ine or Building Official Lyle Oman at 952-249-4600 if you have any questions.

We find that there are a number of specific issues related to building height and grading which must be resolved: 1. The proposed house has a defined height of 33.25' where only a 30' defined building height is allowed. Building height is measured from the highest pre-existing grade abutting the proposed house(determined from your survey to be 1032.5')to the average height of the highest gable (determined from your building plans to be 1065.75'). Attached is a copy of our analysis of building height. This issue might be resolved by a variety of inethods which may or may not be appropriate for this site: - set the house deeper into the ground(water table may be a limiting factor); or -reduce the roof pitches significantly("average of highest gable"would have to be reduced by 3.25', i.e. the peak height would have to be lowered by 6.5'); or - other design revisions or a combination of the above 2. The proposed house, based on the submitted grading plan, is defined as a three-story residence where City code only allows 2-1/2 stories. The basement level is defined as a story . because less than 50%of its perimeter(exclusive of the garage which is unexcavated) is at least 6 feet below final grade. By our analysis (attached) only 63' of the 178' basement perimeter is covered to a depth of 6' or more. An additional 26' of perimeter must be covered to a depth of at least 6 feet in order for the lower level to be considered as a basement in order to not be a 3-story home.

Orono Zoning Code requires a conditional use permit for amounts of fill in excess of 500 cubic yards associated with home construction. Please have your surveyor confirm the volume of fill proposed with this grading plan. The conditional use permit process typically takes 6-8 weeks after application is submitted. We will advise you of any other issues as information becomes available. Please feel free to contact me or Building Official Lyle Oman at 952-249-4600 if you have any questions.
