Memo ULf CRIHG - ASSOCI-ATES 'NINON TO: Mayor Blesener & Members of the City Council FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: May 20, 2005 RE: 450 East Little Canada Road (Mary House) Filling and Grading Permit Permit Request In March of 2004 a Filling and Grading Permit was applied for and approved for the above referenced address for 4000 cubic yards of fill. A copy of the original memo to the City Council for that permit is attached. To date approximately 3,700 cubic yards of material has been brought onto the site and two Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) manholes have been raised. Due to the raising of the manholes additional fill is required to match into existing grades. The Contractor is estimating that an additional 5,800 cubic yards of material will be necessary bringing the total fill brought to the site to approximately 9,500 cubic yards. To allow for this additional fill a second permit application has been submitted. We have reviewed the site and determined that the additional fill will not negatively impact the drainage pattern of the area. We have also contacted the Metropolitan Council regarding the raising of their manholes. While the raising of the manholes was done prior to a permit being issued, MCES has inspected the work performed and has approved it along with the fill material. Therefore, it is our recommendation that a second permit be approved for the additional fill. The approval should be contingent on the same conditions as the first permit as listed in the memo of March 15, 2004. The applicant has already paid the original permit fee based on the 4,000 cy of material originally estimated. It is our recommendation that a new permit fee be calculated based on the 10,000 cy of material being applied for and a credit given to the applicant for the increased amount of the fee. Under this scenario the additional permit fee to be paid would be $138.00. 10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — (763) 780 -0450 fax (763) 205 -2341 C: \Documents and Settings \kathy.glanzer\Local Settings \Temporary Internet Files\OLK2D \Memo - 052005 -CC -Mary House.doc
