Brickley 4105 Highwood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Re: Construction of Retaining Wall Dear Mr. Brickley: It has come to the attention of this department that you have recently constructed a retaining wall on your property at 4105 Highwood. This letter is to inform you that the City of Orono requires building permits for retaining wall construction that exceed 4' high. The City also requires retaining walls over 4' high to be designed by a state licensed structural engineer. Your wall appears to be severely under designed to support the loads applied to it. It appears to me that the next heavy rain could cause the fill to become saturated and cause the wall to fail. Therefore the City must require you to apply for a building permit and submit a design from a structural engineer to either make this wall work or if that is not possible, a design for a new wall. A deadline of March 30, 1995 has been established for application submittal. If you have any questions or if I can assist you in anyway, please feel free to contact me at my office.

Brick�.ey 4105 Highwood Road Mound, Minnesota 55364 Re: Retaining Wall Dear Mr. Brickley: On March 15, 1995 this office notified you of the requirement for a building permit for the construction of a retaining wall on your property at 4105 Highwood. On April 26, 1995 you submitted a letter to the City stating you would lower the wall to less than 4' to avoid building I permit and engineering requirements. You stated the work would be completed by June 15, 1995. As of this date, the work has not been done and a building permit and engineering has not been submitted. T'herefore you leave the City no alternative but to initiate legal action. Action will be withheld until July 24, 1995. If the wall is not in compliance at that time, the City will issue citations and refer the matter to the City Attorney for further legal action.
