I <br /> As depicted by the Registered Land Survey, the proposed <br /> slope of the driveway is 18! %. I don't think anyone <br /> can argue that a descent that steep, in conjunction with I <br /> Minnesota winters, would subject the owner to excessive <br /> risk of accident, both operating a vehicle or walking <br /> on the driveway. I <br /> Realizing the secondary issue to residence safety is <br /> preservation of trees, Vernix Forestry Consultants was I <br /> hired to study the situation, with the assumption that <br /> an l8! % grade was unacceptable. <br /> The following report outlines the tree preservation plan I <br /> for the initial proposal (with a reduced grade) and two <br /> other scenarios. As a point of interest, the % of slope <br /> of scenarios 2 & 3 are 10 and l2! respectfully. I <br /> Your consideration and speedy resolution are much <br /> o,,"odotod. ~. ,0 .. <br /> Sincerely, ~A <br /> James L.
