Christine Mattson From: Christine Mattson Sent: Wednesday, February 24, 2016 8:47 AM To: 'amurray@edenpr.k12.mn.us' Subject: 3760 Bayside Road Attachments: Accessory Structures 2014.pdf; Hardcover Information Packet-2014.pdf; Survey Requirements -August 2015.pdf; Building Permit Application for New Structures or Additions- August 2015 updated.pdf Alyson, As we discussed,your property is located in the LR-1A zoning district. An accessory structure less than 750 sf must be setback back at least 10'from the side property lines, 10' from the house and 35' from the delineated edge of a wetland. Detached accessory buildings are not permitted closer to the street than the home. Attached is a copy of the City's information sheet on Accessory Structures. The property is 2.2+acres in area. A 1,200 sf accessory building is the maximum size allowed. Buildings over 750 sf require 15' side yard setbacks and structures over 1,000 sf require 30' side yard setbacks. A wetland delineation was performed when the house was constructed in 2005. Wetland delineations are valid for 5 years. Your project may not trigger the Minnehaha Creek Watershed DistricYs (MCWD) requirements for a wetland delineation but according to the City's Rules (Code Section 78-1605) any proposed project within 150' of a wet�and requires the wetland to be delineated. After the delineation has been completed and the edge staked in the field,the report should be submitted to the MCWD for their approval as they are the governing body over wetland regulations. Once approved, the delineated edge of the wetland should be surveyed and shown on an updated survey, along with the location of the proposed accessory structure and any proposed grading. Attached is a copy of the City's survey requirements. Additionally,the property is located in Tier 1 of the Stormwater Quality Overlay District which permits up to 25%of the gross area of the lot to be covered in hardcover. I don't believe hardcover on this lot will be close to the 25%, but we need updated information for the permit review. The City's Hardcover packet is attached. The surveyor should complete the hardcover calculations. I have also attached a copy of the building permit application. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
