person registered by the Minnesota Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture,
and Interior Design. All surveys* shall be certified by a Minnesota Registered Land Surveyor. Surveyors, Engineers or
Landscape architects may certify site or grading plans. A certificate of survey or site plan shall conform to the City of
Orono Survey and Site Plan Requirements.
Three (3) original, scaled copies and a digital copy of a certificate of survey or site plan, meeting all of the
following requirements. The scale shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the nature and extent of the proposed
work. The survey or site plan shall include the following:
Administrative Data
1. The name and registration number of the surveyor; date of survey, north arrow, graphic scale.
2. Legal description and address of the property,
3. Total lot area in square feet.
4. Permanent iron monuments must be in place at each property corner and depicted on the survey.
5. All existing easements.
Site Information:
6. Location and elevation of any structures on adjacent properties within 50' of lot lines. For lakeshore lots, the
principal structure on each adjacent lakeshore lot and average lakeshore setback must be shown.
7. Primary and alternate drainfield area corners and tank locations (staked in field).
8. All trees over 6" diameter within proposed disturbance area(s) and within 75' of the OHWL
9. Storm utilities including drainage ways, storm sewers, culverts, catch basins, and drain tile stubs with invert
elevations.
10. Topographic contours at 2' contours on the entire lot (Lakeshore, 1') and 50' outside of lot lines. Identify all
steep slopes over 12%. The source for all topography must be indicated on the survey.
11. Elevations to sea level datum of the top of curb, or if no curb, the edge of the pavement of the street at points
where the side lot lines of the property intersect said street.
12. Identifytop of bluff, bluff setback, and bluff impact zone.
13. Wetlands and wetland setbacks.
14. Service utilities (water, gas, electrical, and sanitary sewer with invert elevation at connection point)
15. Established high water elevation and structural setback from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) for
properties adjacent to lakes, ponds, streams or wetlands,
16. 100 year flood elevation.
17. Stormwater Quality Overlay District Tier (page three of this packet).
18. Hardcover calculations. Provide using the City's calculation sheets.
Project Information:
19. All proposed improvements with dimensions.
20. Landscaping, and/or stabilization of disturbed areas.
21. Proposed surface drainage (1' contours on lakeshore properties, 2' on all others), indicate with arrows.
22. Slope of driveway in percent of grade.
23. Elevations to sea level datum of the top of foundation at each transition, garage floor, the first floor and lowest
floor at all structure corners, and top and bottom elevations for all walls.

*Certification exemption: The certification of the plan by a licensed professional maybe exempted by the city
engineer if the project meets all of the following:

2) Proposed project exceeds the setback requirements by 150%;
3) Proposed project footprint does not exceed 200 square feet;
4) Evidence that the Average Lakeshore setback is met is provided; and
5) Information necessary to ensure the project conforms to City codes and ordinances, including hardcover,
grading, and landscaping requirements is provided.
Additional surveys may be required, depending on the nature and complexity of your project.
Foundation survey: A foundation survey, when indicated on the building permit, shall be submitted upon
completion of the foundation work for all buildings and all additions to buildings and include:
1. Verification of the lot dimensions,
2. Verification front, side, rear, lakeshore, and wetland setbacks,
3. Foundation elevation at the same locations depicted on the survey developed for the project.
As -built survey: An as -built survey, where required, shall
1. Certify the final topography of the site;
2. Verify drainage patterns;
3. Verify hardcover calculations.
4. Certify all existing improvements
