CITY of ORONO Post Office Box 66•CrysW Bay, Minnesota W23•Municipal Offices On the No th Shore of Lake Minnetonka November 15, 1988 David Nitz 725 Sou;:h Old Crystal Bay Road Wayzata, MN 55391 Re: Proposed Driveway Change Dear Mr. Nitz: Public Works Director, John Gerhardson, and I have reviewed your proposal to construct a new driveway to Farview Lane. Your proposal appears to be acceptable and meets the minimum standards for setbacks from septic systems, intersections, etc.. The following are conditions of City approval of this driveway change: 1. A grading permit must be obtained by your grading contrac�or prior to commencement of driveway construction. That permit will cost $50.50. 2. The driveway shall be approximately 12' i.n width as staked by the owner. 3. Follow the route as staked by the owner. DO NOT DO ANY GRADING OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY AREA. KEEP ALL TRAFFIC OFF HOUND AREA AND ALTERNATE DRAINFIELD SITE AREAS. (The attached sketch indicates areas which are critical to remain undisturbed.) 4. Do not disturb slopes at northeast corner of lot. This may also be a future potential drainfield site, but will be ruined ijr such use if it gets any traffic. 5. As you propose, the driveway can be constructed at grade so that the need for a culvert may be eliminated in the northwest quadrant of the property. However, there is a possibility that this will lead to a wet driveway and you may wish to install a culvert anyway, 6. At the southeast corner of the property, eliminate the driveway access to County Road 84 by grading the shoulder back to its approximate original grade. However, you must leave a berm and the culvert in place to maintain the required drainage control. Remove gravel from the driveway and add black dirt and seed or sod.
