Alan. I'll follow up on this. I already have the watershed permit.
Who should I be sending the storm water plan to?

Jamie: Per our staff discussion yesterday, the City will issue the building
permit with the following steps being undertaken.
1. To allow site hardcover to exceed 30% up to 40%, the property owner
/ contractor must implement one of the Storm water management
measures outlined below. The site plan must identify which measure
will be selected and demonstrate that it will fit on the site with the new
building and driveway construction. They may speak to the City
Engineer to determine which measure may be best suited for the
site. They will need to submit a revised site plan showing the
selected measure and how it works with the overall site plan. The
revised site plan is subject to reviewed and approved by both the City
Engineer and the Minnehaha Creek Watershed district. Prior to
issuing the building permit we must be confident that the selected
storm water management measure will fit the site and function
properly.
2. With an approved revised site plan, the building permits can be
issued, prior to the installation of the storm water management
measure. This will allow building construction to proceed. No
occupancy permit will be issued for the property until the storm water
management measure is installed and site reclamation is complete.
3. Prior to issue of building occupancy permit, City Staff (Building
Inspector / City Engineer) may conduct a site inspection to insure
that all site improvements have been completed in accordance with
the approved site plan.

AI/Dan/Mike;
Ador Homes wants to pick up the building permits for this twin -home project on Lafayette Lane. Per the
note below, he is over the groundcover limit so he must comply with the storm water management
components listed below.
@Mike; has he contacted you to determine which option he is going to choose? If so, can you please
send a recap to him and copy the city so we have this on file?
@Dan/AI; who will manage this to insure it gets done? Does he have to have city sign -off once he
installs and can Scott/MNSPECT manage to insure it has been completed before they issue the CO or is
this out of their scope?

Todd, The attached survey looks good for the new twin home. The City allows the
hardcover greater than 30% up to 40% provided that the site includes a storm water
management component listed below. My initial review suggested that the 38%
z
hardcover may be a grandfathered non -conforming condition, however, to preserve
this grandfathered condition a building permit must have been issued within 180 days
of the homes destruction. I am informed that the homes were lost to a fire in March
2021. The new construction must comply with the storm water management
requirements listed below. You may contact the City Engineer, to determine which
component may work the best for your site.
Good luck with this project please contact me with any questions.
(4) Lot coverage. Impervious surface coverage of lots within the R-1 districts shall not exceed 30 percent of the
lot area, except as provided below:
a.lmpervious surface lot coverage may be allowed to exceed 30 percent of lot area on an existing lot of
record that falls below R-1 lot area and width standards subject to the following:
i. All structures, additions or expansions shall meet setback and other requirements of this
chapter.
ii. The lot shall be served with municipal sewer and water.
iii. The amount of impervious surface does not exceed 3,000 square feet of area.
b.New construction, alterations, expansions and remodeling of structures on all lots may expand lot
coverage up to 40 percent of actual lot area through the plan review process established in article IV,
division 1, provided the following stipulations are met:
i. All structures, additions, or expansions shall meet setback and other requirements of this
chapter.
ii. The lot shall be served by municipal sewer and water.
iii. The lot shall provide for the collection and treatment of stormwater in compliance with the
city stormwater management plan if determined that the site improvements will result in
increased runoff directly entering a public water. All development plans shall require review
and approval by the city engineer. The property owner shall be responsible for installing
one or more of the measures recommended by the city engineer to mitigate the impact of
additional impervious surface. Plans must also be reviewed by the Minnehaha Creek
watershed district when projects meet criteria requiring watershed district review and
approval.
iv. Measures to be taken for the treatment of stormwater runoff and/or prevention of
stormwater from directly entering a public water. The measures may include, but not be
limited to the following:
(A) Installation of rain gardens, infiltration basins, or bio filtration basins should be
considered for treatment of stormwater runoff from hard surfaces. Filtration basins
should be considered if soil conditions are not favorable for infiltration.
(B) Installation of erosion control devices, including silt fence, bio-rolls, erosion control
blanket, and storm sewer inlet protection should be used.
3
(C) Installation of oil -skimming devices and sump catch basins should be used to
improve water quality.
(D) Stormwater runoff from hard surfaces should be directed into pervious areas
(grassed lawns or landscape beds) through site grading and use of gutters and
downspouts.
(E) Hard surfaces should be constructed using pervious pavement or pavers, or raised
materials such as decking which has natural earth or other pervious material
beneath or between the planking.
(F) Grading and construction techniques should be implemented that encourage
infiltration of stormwater runoff.
(G) Installation of berms or basins should be considered to temporarily detain water
before dispersing it into pervious area.

Hennepin County aerial photos shows this property have a very substantial existing
twinhome at this address. Is this a tear down rebuild????
In review of the attached survey we offer the following findings.
The site is zoned R-1 Single and Two Family district. This district allow for two family
lots meeting the following standards.
Lot area. Required 12,000 sq. ft. The existing two addresses have a lot area of
24,498 sq. ft. Compliant.
Lot Width. Required 50 feet. The existing two addresses have a total lot width of 120
feet. Compliant.
Setbacks: Required Proposed Compliant
Street side setback (north) 30 ft. 30 / 32 feet Yes
Side yard (West) 10 ft. 19.0 ft. Yes
Side yard (East) 10 ft. 16.5 ft. Yes
Lake side (South) 50 ft. 76.7 /81.7 ft. Yes
Hardcover: 30% 38.3% No
The proposed hardcover exceeds the City 30% standard. The City will allow up to
40% hardcover with a storm water management plan. The survey's estimate of
existing hardcover did not include the house. My rough estimate of total existing
4
hardcover including the existing house is approximately 38.1 %. The surveyor should
revise their estimate of existing hardcover to include the house. If the proposed
hardcover is equal to or less than the existing hardcover, the 38.3 % hard cover maybe
grandfathered and the plan can be approved without a storm water management plan.
The site plan appears to meet all the required R-1 lot area, width and setbacks. They
need to provide a revised estimate of existing hard cover to address this issue.
Building height may not exceed 35 feet.

Hi Al;
Attached is the proposed survey for the new duplex on the Groth property. Would you please review and let us know if
you see any issues with it before we issue the building permit? Let me know if there is anything else you need to
complete your review.
Many thanks!

In speaking with Dan —He indicated this will not hold up the building permits but to later just submit a sketch showing
drainage from the downspouts so no water is draining onto the neighbors property —

The storm water assessment will not hold up the building permits-- they just want to know that we are going
to contain run-off on our property and it will not go into the neighbor's --with proper landscaping and
downspouts --He is going to send me an e-mail addressing this that you can use in the file so no need to do
another survey at this time --Go Team!
