As you are aware, permits are required for creating a driveway. The City requires a Land Alteration Permit. The Hennepin County Public Works requires a permit to create an access to their road, and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District requires an Erosion Control Permit and possibly a Wetland Delineation. This letter is to require you to submit a Land Alteration Permit application with a survey or site plan showing the location of the driveway, the approximate amount of fill used and a cross section of the driveway. Permits from the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District and Hennepin County will be required prior to issuance of the Land Alteration Permit. A deadline of October 14, 2002 has been established for submittals. If this deadline is not met The City will initiate legal action and a court appearance will be required. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at my office.

Due to the fact that we discussed the permit requirements and possible problems of creating a driveway and you decided to build it without approvals anyway, I find it difficult to grant you an extension of time to deal with it. I don't need to check the code to know that a permit is required for the work that was done. If it was just putting red rock on your property a permit would still be required. See the attached code section 10.03 Sub. 19, 20, and 21. You stated that you haven't asked for it to be a driveway yet. If you build a driveway, it's a driveway if you ask for it to be or not. If you request in writing the city will consider an extension of the deadline.

Any new or revised access to a county road must have a permit so such things as visibility and drainage among others, can be evaluated. Therefore, the driveway must be obliterated and restored with seed or sod (within the road right of way) by December l, 2002. Apparently, the current access to yours and other's properties is via an unimproved city street right of way (Westpoint Avenue), not an easement. If any subdivision of the property(s) were proposed, all access would have to be taken from an improved city street with appropriate ditch/slope grading to enhance sight-distance. However, the existing situation can best addressed by constructing a new "temparary" shared driveway roughly centered along your property frontage where visibility is more than adequate in both directions. If you wish to pursue this option, please fill out the enclosed permit application and submit it along with the appropriate easement documentation for other users and the permit would be approved subject to the elimination of formal access at the current Westpoint Avenue entrance. The City of Orono has been contacted and concurs with this possibility. Otherwise the existing entrance may remain "as is" unless further development is anticipated. Thanic you for your cooperation in tnis matter and piease call me at %6�-7��-7043 wiih questi�ns arid a schedule for the driveway removal. Sincerely, �� _ David K.
