Jeff
After reviewing the property, yes, the lake yard is definitely a bluff. Stairs are permitted.
There was a survey done in 2015 by Acre Land Surveying; you may want to look this up with the surveyor as he defined
the bluff.
The stair can be reconstructed and even altered. We will need either an updated survey showing the proposed work(stair
and all the earthwork changes) or a site plan drawn by a licensed professional based on the survey that shows the same.
A stabilization and erosion control plan will also be required.The Zoning Permit application you picked up is the correct
one. I attached a digital copy for your use.
There will be a $50 fee, plus a $2000 cash escrow due at the time of permit issuance. The property owner should sign for
and provide the escrow funds.
If you'd like to sit down for a quick meeting with myself and our engineer who will be reviewing your application let me
know and I can get something scheduled.

Subject:4774 North Shore Drive Steps
Hi Melanie,
Thank you for taking the time to help me yesterday.
I have a customer that would like to replace a set of steps that lead from her house down a steep slope to the
lake/dock.
Customer:
Katrina Wasscher Residence
4775 North Shore Drive Orono, MN 55364
I have attached pictures of the current steps to give you an idea of what we are replacing. We intend to use the
same construction style and alignment. There is one flight that would need to be realigned to avoid contact with a
tree. We would leave the pipe style footings where possible and mount new stringers, treads, posts and
handrails. We would also replace the existing abutments at the top of each flight of stairs using landscape timbers.
What permit or permits does this require?

Does this construction technique meet all city requirements/building codes applicable?
Th�nk you.
