Dear Mr. &Mrs. Bafley: ;
On June 24"'I ins ected the catastro hic slo failures on our ro e ' I
p p pe y p p rty with the City s consulting �
englneer, David Martini. Based on the telephone conversation you and I had following my inspection,I !
understand that there may be some additionai area of failure which extends ontn the Frommelfis property
at 2805 Casco Point Road. For this reason, I have wpied the Frommelts on this let�er.
In order to help to prevent further damage, the siope should be protected as soon as feaslble w(th an
anchored tarp and silt fencing at and/or in the lake. Any material that has entered the lake should be
removed as required by the Minnehaha Creek Wa�ershed Distr(ct(MCWD). We recommend you should
hire a ctvll engineer to devise a restoration pian, which must be submitted to the City of Orono for '
engineering approval. �
Before that plan is developed, I think it would be helpful to have a meeting on your property to discuss
the slape restoration process which should involve all parties whlch includes at a minimum, you (and the
Frommelts), your contractor for restoration,your civil engineer, a representative from the MCWD,the
City's engineer and myself. The slope should be restored to its previous conditfon and re-vegetated as
soon as feasible. Once the plan is approved,you should impfement that plan as soon as possible. �
City Code requires a City Council-approved Conditional Use Permit{CUP)for work within 75-feet of the �
lake. The CUP process technically requires a public hearing be held by the Planning Commission and a �
proper timeiine of public notification given. Due to the sensitive nattire of this incident we intend work
with you to expedite the proper approvals through the City Councll and permits,and we understand that
MCWD will do the same.
The following requirements can be discussed in greater detail during the site meeting, but I wanted to
provide you an overview in writing wlth this letter. Once you have a restoratfon plan designed, please
complete the enclosed Conditionai Use Permit and Zoning Permit for Land Alberation applicatlons ;
to begin the process, A CUP application requlres submittal of a $700 applicatlon fee. `fhe permit escrow !
will be determ(ned by the Clty's engineer based on the amount of disturbance/work to be conducted.
You will see in the CUP applicatfon packet that a certlfled property owners list for the properties
within 350'of the affected propertles(2805 and 2807 Casco Point Road) Is required to be submitted for
proper notification. This list should be obtained from Hennepin County.
A survey of the site should be submltted which meets the enclosed survey standards and reflects the
existing conditlons (i.e. shows the failures)and also reflects the proposed repair. A siqned.

appearance from the lake should also be submitted.
l�
No work beyond immediate site stabilization is permftted un�l Clty Council authorization is recelved in
order to wnduct the emergency restoratlon. The permit and plan information would need to be recceived
by staff at least 3 weeks{21 days) prior to the City Councii meeGng date desired Por proper publication
and no�ficatlon. Upwming CIty Council meeGng dates are as follows:
Monday,lu/y Z8
Monday,August 11
Monday,August 25
Monday, September 8
Please contact me if you have any questions on thls matter. Additionally, please advlse as to your
desired site meeting date and time. I can be reached at 952.249.4627 or by email at
