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.

7. The old driveway access must be removed after the new
driveway is complete but prior to grading contractor leaving
the site.
8. The new driveway entrance must have a 20' flat apron
back from the edge of the paved portion of Farview Lane, to
provide a safe access to this driveway.
9. The new driveway entrance on Farview Lane must be set at
least 100' west of the center line of County Road 84.
10. Upon completion of the i-: w driveway, your legal address
will change to 2811 earview Lane.
Any changes to the plan as outlined above must be approvod
by the City. 21ease feel free to contact me i.f you have a
questions. I cannot stress the importance of making sure the
grading contractor and all equipment operators are aware of the
need to not "'.sturb drainfield areas.
