Steve,
I'll need to pull the street file and see if there are any special circumstances with this subdivision.
Absent any prohibition in subdivision approval:
A land alteration permit will be required for the earth movement and if any part of the retaining wall is over 4 feet high
from bottom of footings to the top, a building permit will be required for the wall. I've attached an information sheet on
retaining walls for you to read over.

Hi Christine,
At 3355 Graham Hill Road my landscape architect would like to put a poured concrete retaining wall
(with a footing below it, stucco on one side, soil on the other side and a stone cap on top)
in the front yard between the drainage and utility easement and the 30'front yard setback line, can I do this?

Dear Melanie:
We have reviewed the plans for the proposed new home construction at 3355 Graham Hill Road.
The plans are dated i1-24-09. We have the following comments with regards to engineering
matters:
• It is our understanding that the retaining wall around the driveway is a cast-in-place
concrete wall integral to the house foundation. This design will be reviewed by the City
Building Official.
• This project will disturb more than 100 CY of material. Sediment and erosion control
information meeting the requirements of Orono's City Code 79-7(c)(2) must be
submitted. The minimum $2000 sediment and erosion control financial security should
be required of the owner for this permit.
If you have any questions, please call me at (651) 604-4894 or send an email to
darren.amundsenCc�bonestroo.com.
Yours very truly,
