Please see his comments below. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. Christine Mattson Planning Assistant City of Orono 2750 Kelly Parkway Orono MN 55356 (physical address) PO Box 66 Crystal Bay MN 55323-0066 (mailing address) "�" 952.249.4620 g 952.249.4616 � cmattson@ci.orono.mn.us � www.ci.orono.mn.us Summer Office Hours: (Monday, May 20 through Friday,August 30,2013) Monday-Thursday: 7:30 am to 5 pm Friday: 7:30 am to 11:30 am OUR OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED: Thursday,July 4,2013 I reviewed the as-built survey for the new house at 3443 Crystal Place. The As-built is reflective of what is out there. The survey does show some additional hardcover by the front door and they should include an updated hardcover calculation sheet to reflect this. lesse Struve, PE Director of Public Works/City Engineer City of Orono (952) 249-4661 - Direct (952) 249-4616- Fax www.ci.orono.mn.us � Christine Mattson From: Craig Williams [cwilliams@3rhino.com] Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 8:51 AM To: Christine Mattson Cc: Sonya Plato Subject: Re: Hardcover/Landscaping questions regarding 3443 Crystal Place Good Morning Christine: I was wondering if I could please speak with you this morning regarding what we must do to satisfy all city requirements for 3443 Crystal Place. Unfortunately your last email did not include a grading plan for the property although did include useful information. I do however have a copy of what I believe to be a Building Permit Survey with revisions last updated 7/23/12. It is the attached JPEG. I was hoping I could speak with you so that I fully understand what is necessary to obtain a permanent Certificate of Occupancy. We in no way want to add to the permit as it currently stands, only verify what it currently states. Not being a contractor or builder, the Building Permit Survey seems to indicate the following: - Driveway - Retaining wall on west side of house (perhaps 3 feet in height?) - Retaining wall on east side of the house (perhaps a foot or 2?) - Retaining wall at south end of the lot (unsure of why or if this is necessary?) - Perhaps there is a patio or deck at rear of house? This is all I can make of the survey I have. I'm wondering if it's necessary to do all these items to obtain the permanent Certificate of Occupancy. Also, I assume if the rest of the yard is covered in sod this will satisfy the permit requirements, but need to confirm both these questions with you. I do have 2 other questions regarding the escrow to obtain a TCO when we can speak: - Must we submit my escrow check prior to closing on the house? - Is there time limit the work must be completed before potentially losing the escrow? I would be very gracious if there is any possibility to speak with you as soon as possible. I promise I will not take much of your time. Thank you for you help.

Attached is a copy of the survey dated July 26, 2012 showing the approved grading plan. The proposed home was constructed at 33.8% hardcover, see attached hardcover calculation sheet. A certificate of occupancy will not be issued until all exterior work, grading, landscaping, driveway, etc. are complete and approved. A temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) can be issued; a TCO requires a $10,000 escrow which the City holds until all exterior work on the property is complete, an as-built survey and hardcover calculations have been submitted and approved by the City Engineer. Any landscaping changes or additions you propose must be approved by the City prior to commencement of the work via a Zoning Permit. Changes would also require an updated survey and hardcover calculations. Lyle Oman, Building Official, can answer your question regarding fire pit location and setbacks.

Part of the purchase agreement is that we will have to finish landscaping and I was told that perhaps you mights be able to point us in the right direction in order to be up to code. Our address is 3443 Crystal Place. We are on a hill in-between the bays and was told we have to be cautious of drainage. We have a couple questions and would be very appreciative of any help you could provide us (or point us in the direction to where we might find answers): - What tier do we live in? Pve looked at the site but am unsure what color is in the map. Either Tier 2 or 3. - Do we have to have our plans approved by the city? All we are looking to do is is have a small bricked patio, fire pit and put stonework curbside because we virtually have no front yard(our lot is only .16 acre). - If we want a fire pit in our back yard is there a certain amount of feet it must be from a structure? I apologize for any ignorance asking these questions. I appreciate your time. Thank you!

Chameli, P.A. 1570 Minnesota World Trade Center 30 East Seventh Street St. Paul, MN 55101 Re: Utility Account at 3443 Crystal Pl, Orono (Acct. # 1-13443-00-3) Bert Rodewald Dear Mr. Chameli: Your letter dated April 14, 1997 indicated that Mr. Rodewald is seeking compensation for past sewer service charges on his property at 3443 Crystal Pl, in Orono. Our records indicate that Mr. Rodewald first contacted us in July, 1996 inquiring about the sewer charges. After Mr. Rodewald's inquiry, City staff began an investigation. An inspection was conducted at Mr. Rodewald's property that verified no connections to the sewer system were present in the lower (shop) level of the building. After inspecting the property, an adjustment was made to Mr. Rodewald's account. The adjustment, made retroactive to January 1, 1996, was for the additional sewer unit of $65.15 per quarter (1996 rates). At the time the adjustment was made, no other adjustments were discussed. There was no further contact regarding this matter following the letter dated November 6, 1996. Mr. Rodewald's payment for the corrected balance, after the adjustment had been made, was received by our office on January 29, 1997. The City understood this issue to be finally resolved.
