There are at total of three wetlands on the properties. Two wetlands are classified as manage 1 ' and require a 35' buffer; the other is a preserve classification which requires a 50 foot buffer. ' The plat triggered the buffer improvement requirement in Orono's wetland regulations. In order � to bring the property into compliance with the wetland buffer requirements the turf grass was to be removed within the required buffer areas and re-vegetated with the seed mix according to City Code 78-1605(3). Please submit a landscaping plan which meets the attached code requirements for review and approval. This plan should be submitted by September 30th. Please be advised, if you fail to comply with the wetland buffer requirements, the City will enter the property and fulfill the requirements. The costs to do so will be assessed to your property. I have attached copies of the Waldron Woods final plat resolution and the wetland buffer conservation easement and covenant documents, and the relevant wetland code sections for your reference.

We have researched the invoice regarding wetland inspections and follow up at 1860 and 1880 Fox Street. We discovered that you were erroneously billed the entire amount for the September wetland buffer inspections, compliance and site visits. These bills should have been separated and applied equally to each property. This has been corrected so the current and future charges wiil be applied correctly. To summarize the inspection charges, on September 19, 2010 John Smyth, our wetland specialist, performed a site inspection. He determined the wetland buffers were not in compliance with the requirements of final plat of Waldron Woods and a letter was sent to you. On September 22, 2010 Smyth and I met on site with Ms. Eastman, her demolition contractor, surveyor, Mark Gronberg, and the gentleman in charge of Ms. Eastman's property maintenance to discuss the requirements for compliance. Please note, this is not a final bill; there will likely be additional inspections and plan reviews in order to ensure the proper steps are taken to bring the properties into compliance with the City's wetland regulations. Please be advised the City's expectation is that when the weather allows you will proceed with your plan for compliance. If not, the City will move forward with the wetland improvements within the buffer/easement area and seek reimbursement to recover any of the costs incurred to do so. If you have any questions, please contact me at mcurtis .ci.orono.mn.us or 952.249.4627.
