5- Upon approval of the variance, other permits shall be submitted to other agencies. Note that I have reached out to the MPCA, RCWD, Ramsey County, and DNR prior to the variance application. They are aware of the project we are submitting for. The floor elevation was established per the RCWD's height request and is noted in the proposed survey. 6- There will be a grading as -built and utility as -built for the city upon completion. 7- There will be a grading plan submitted for approval by the Public Works Director/ City Engineer. 8- Erosion control and silt fencing will be constructed by the general contractor during construction. 9- There is one maple tree shown on the existing survey in the SE corner. This tree will remain as is and is not affect by the new home. During the initial meeting with the city Commissioners, it was brought up by a neighbor that there are two trees in the NW corner. However, those trees are not on the property but is on the right of way. Even though it is not required to add trees, I will plan on adding 2-3 trees on the site. The location will depend on the landscape plan once the building variance has been approved. Currently, the trees are shown on the proposed site in the NW corner. These trees will be a combination of deciduous and coniferous depending on the landscape plan. Other additional landscape will include native shrubs and plants near the front entry area and sidewalk. 10- The following two items are the proposed Shoreland Mitigation plan items: A- Architectural Mass: The proposed new home will include the use of natural materials and colors such as a stone base and columns, natural color siding colors as well as natural wood accents within certain areas as shown on the proposed elevation. B- Reduction of Impervious Surface Coverage: The proposed new home will reduce the impervious coverage by adding pervious pavers that will be designed by a civil engineer. These pavers will absorb the surface water flow. In addition to the surface water, the pavers will be designed to contain water that will be directed from the roofs via downspouts and underwater drainage pipes that redirects the rain water of the building onto these permeable paver surfaces. These area are shown on the proposed site plan as 1- Permeable Patios, 2- Permeable Driveway, 3- Permeable Paver Sidewalk. 1 1- The proposed new home will not encroach upon the shoreland impact zone beyond the location of the existing home on lot 3. The new home portion that is on lot 4 will be located at the required setback. Therefore, both items will conform to the suggestions of the Commissioners. 3747 Minnehaha Avenue, Ste 203, Minneapolis, MN 55406 phone (612) 644-4369 www.nguyenarchitects.com
