Because riprap is often part of a larger project, we want to alert you to some related City code provisions so you can avoid the hassle and expense of obtaining an after-the-fact permit or even having to undo some of the work. With few exceptions, including riprap and lakeshore steps, City code prohibits the installation of impervious surfaces within 75 feet of the lake. Any sort of fabric is considered impervious. This means that riprap rock may be extended farther than allowed by the riprap permit but no fabric may be installed under it. The following activities require a permit from the City: • Any earth movement outside the area where the rip rap will be placed • Replacement of retaining walls and/or installation of new retaining walls within 75 feet of the lake (regardless of the height of the walls) • Construction or replacement of lakeshore steps • Removal of trees (dead or alive) six inches in diameter or larger within 75 feet of the lake • Removal of vegetation on any slope within 75 feet of the lake that is too steep to easily walk • Removal of vegetation or trimming of trees larger than six feet to provide a view of the lake from the house • Total or near total removal of vegetation within 75 feet of the lake not part of another permit A tree removal permit can be arranged by calling 952-249-4600. For the other permits your contractor must submit a permit application and plans for review. Additional information can be found at the City website, www.ci.orono.mn.us. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at cmattsonci.orono.mn.us or at 952-249-4620.
