Dear Evelyn:
We have reviewed the revised survey dated 6-25-07 for the proposed house at 1404 Baldur Park Road. The
plans show removing an existing home and construction of a new attached garage dwelling. We have the
following comments with regards to engineering matters:
• Plans should be submitted to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District for review and approval.
• This site is very flat and on average is only about two feet above Lake Minnetonka. The applicant
has provided shallow drainage swales adjacent to lot lines that contain storm water runoff to the
site. At 0.6%, the swales are at a flatter grade than we would typically accept. However, the
applicant proposes to install draintile at the bottom of the swale to further improve drainage.
• Minor grading (cutting less than one foot) within the 75 foot setback will be required to keep
storm water runoff on the property.
• We find this grading plan acceptable from an engineering standpoint.
If you have any questions please call me at (651) 604-4894.
Yours very truly,
BONESTROO
Darren Amundsen
