Fahey CO UNTIL. Jim LaValle Matt Anderson Ricic Montour Bill Blesener ADMINISTRATOR Joel R. Hanson RE: Fill/Grading Permit 2728 Edgerton Street (Sprosty Lot 4) Mr. Jeff Heikke is requesting approval for a filling and grading permit place 725 cubic yards of fill material to build up to enable construction of a house on the empty lot at 2728 Edgerton Street (Sprosty Lot 4). See attached sketch. I have reviewed the request and visited the site. The area to be filled is between Edgerton Street and the proposed house and includes some minor grading of the rear lot for drainage. He is proposing to build a retaining wall along the creek to enable a flatter more usable front yard and back yard. He is also installing a swale system to collect water from his yard and directing it to the creek. I have contacted the Ramsey - Washington Metro Watershed District and due to the small size (less than one acre) they are not be required to issue a permit. However, they have provided comments that they recommended be incorporated in our permit. Their letter is attached. Since more than 100 cubic yards of material is being excavated, City Council approval is required. It is recommended that the Little Canada City Council approve Mr. Heikke's request to place approximately 725 cubic yards on his property at 2728 Edgerton Street in conjunction with constructing a house, subject to the following conditions: 1. Silt fence be install along the north, east and south property lines. 2. No grading should occur in the creek area. 3. Any retaining wall(s) higher than four feet need to be an engineered wall and reviewed /approved by the Building Official. 4. Drainage from the entire lot should be directed to the creek. 5. The infiltration pond, proposed to be constructed, in the southeast corner of this lot is not part of this filling and grading permit. City review and approval shall be obtained prior to the construction of the infiltration pond and shall be coordinated with the Kerr's (627 Keller Parkway), and Jack Schmidt (2718 Edgerton Street) as it will encroach onto their properties. 6. The proposed house shall have a low floor elevation at least 2 feet above the flood elevation of the creek. 7. The area be seeded or covered with sod as soon as possible to reduce soil erosion in the area. CC:Jack Schmidt, Larry Kerr Il:AGtegSWill Permits \Jeff Heikke 2728 Edgerton.doc 1
