The plans proposed to remove an existing home and construct a new home with an attached garage. We have the following comments with regards to engineering matters: • A temporary driveway, proposed steps, and proposed grading are shown on the neighboring property to the east. Proof of the ability to construct the driveway, steps, and complete the grading, such as an easement or agreement with the neighboring property owner, should be provided to the City. • Proposed 972 through 974 contours should be shown along the east property line, Keep in mind that retaining walls can not be located within five feet of property lines. • Engineered design and details should be provided for review for all retaining walls greater than 4 feet in height, or for tiered walls in which the horizontal separation is less than 2 times the height of the shorter wall. • Trees to be removed should be noted on the plans. If you have any questions, please call me at (651) 604-4894. Yours very truly, Bonestroo �� . i . �'-_� -----�. Darren Amundsen cc: Tom Kellogg �� City of Orono 0 �_�, � 2750 Kelley Parkway �� P.O.

In fact, the grading necessary for your property will actually be an improvement to us as well by making the hill a little less steep. If this e-mail is not acceptable, I will be happy to send one directly to Orono. Jack Leppla i
