The home <br /> construction will require some site grading to control and direct drainage. We have the following comments <br /> with regards to engineering matters: <br /> • The proposed house elevations provided do not agree with the proposed grading plan. The lakeside <br /> house elevation shows a proposed two story home with a full basement. The grading plan shows <br /> grading to provide a lookout on the lakeside of the home.The grading necessary to construct a lookout <br /> will likely encroach into the 75-foot setback and we would strongly discourage this. <br /> • The proposed top of foundation is approximately 2.5 feet higher than the existing house to the north. <br /> This will create difficulty in grading a swale along the north side of the proposed home. We <br /> recommend that the proposed top of foundation elevation be revised to be no higher than 955.0. <br /> • The final grading plans should include side yard swales to direct water towards the lake. <br /> • We did not notice any steps to the lake when we visited the site. The slope to the lake is steep and <br /> heavily vegetated. Plans should include step construction to the lake and provisions for stabilizing <br /> disturbed areas where the steps are constructed and the site where the existing shed will be removed. <br /> • Final house plans should include gutters and downspouts that direct roof drainage to the side yard <br /> swales. <br /> • The silt fence should be installed at the 75-foot setback from the lake. All erosion control measures <br /> should be installed, inspected and approved by city staff prior to any work on site. <br /> If you have any questions please call me at(651) 604-4863. <br /> Yours very truly, <br /> BONESTROO, ROSENE,ANDERLIK&ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> T7--; )1/.424r_ <br /> Tom Kellogg <br /> Cc: Greg Gappa, City of Orono <br /> Bruce Vang, City of Orono <br /> • St. Paul, St. Cloud, Rochester, Willmar, MN • Milwaukee, WI • Chicago, IL <br /> Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and Employee Owned <br />
