Theresa, attached is a revised staging letter that includes a corrected front yard width along with
explanation of where the Porta Potti and dumpster will go. I also include 3 more neighboring properties.
I also attached 2 surveys, one clean one with the gutters and downspouts shown and one marked up
showing the temp parking area along with gutters, landscape rock beds and lawn location. The survey
does show 2 rows of silt fence along the lake side and we use bio rolls for the street side.
The final landscape plan includes rock beds for the entire street side along with dry rock beds down both
sides of the house up to the rear of the house. From there it will be grass.
I designed the house with a hip roof and a eyebrow roof over the garage so I could use gutters all the way
around the perimeter of the roof to control the run off and direction of the water flow.
The stock piling of dirt will be at the rear corner of the foundation and will have 2 rows of silt fence
between it and the lake. To date I've had over 2 dozen successful design/builds on lake Minnetonka with
no issues what so ever with run off using this method.
Please let me know if there is anything else.
Sincerely,
Brian Harju

Good afternoon Brian,
Our City Planner has reviewed your application materials and offers the following
comments:
Construction Staging plan. These plans are required with all building
construction due to the small lot sizes, limited street widths and
proximity of adjoining homes. The Staging plan is intended to attempt to
mitigate the nuisance issues associated with site construction for the
surrounding neighborhood.
1. The Staging and deliveries narrative is quite comprehensive. The narrative states that they will
provide a 60’x 20’ parking area extending from the street into the lot. The site plan “Before
Demolition and Grading Begin notes indicate that a temporary rock construction entrance
extending at least 50 feet from the street into the site. The narrative and site plan notes
conflict. Applicant shall clarify which option will be pursued. The larger parking and service area
outside of the street will reduce the traffic burden for neighboring properties.
2. The Staging and deliveries plan indicates they will notify the three neighboring homes of dates
for deliveries and work at the site. In examining the Hennepin County GIS, I believe that 6
properties will be impacted by the traffic to this site and home construction. Notification shall be
expanded to the 6 properties on both sides of the Black Lake Road nearest to the construction
site.
3. Parking shall be limited to the on-site parking. The applicant shall demonstrate that the
adequate parking exists when deliveries are being made. If construction crews /subcontractor
vehicles exceed the available parking at the site. The plan must identify off-site parking options.
4. Work activities shall be limited to the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and 8:00
a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekends. Applicant shall provide notice of site deliveries 2 days prior to
the event.
The plan adequately addresses; site clean up, street clean-up, dust control and
contact information.
Construction Staging Site Plan. The applicant must provide a site plan
that shows the following items to show they fit the lot. This information
must be provided prior to issuing the building permit.
1. The location and extend of the proposed on-site parking/ loading areas.
2. Location of Trash dumpsters / roll offs.
3. Location of Biffs
4. Location of dirt stock piles.
5. Erosion and sedimentation devices.
Site Plan review: The site is zoned R-1 Single and Two Family zoning
district.
3
1. The single family home is a permitted use in the R-1 zoning district.
2. While the lot area (8869 sq. ft.) is below the minimum lot area standard, this lot of record is
considered buildable because the lot has access to municipal utilities and the proposed building
meet the required R-1 setbacks.
3. The proposed building meets all the R-1 required setbacks.
4. The proposed site plan exceeds the 30% hardcover standard for R-1 lots. Within the R-1 district
residential development may have hardcover up to 40 % of lot area with provisions for on-site
storm water treat before site drainage enters the lake. The applicants site plan identifies that the
new plan reduces hardcover over the previous house. However, the previous home has be
removed for over one year, as such any grandfathered rights to a legal nonconforming condition
has expired. The current construction is subject to the current zoning standards. The city may
approve hardcover over 30% of lot area and less than 40% of lot areas with an on-site storm
water management plan that is approved by the City Engineer and the Watershed district. The on-
site storm water measures may consist of the following;
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.
(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.
The applicant may choose the measure to meet the storm water management conditions of the code. They
may wish to contact the City Engineer to discuss options and what measure are most effective and least
intrusive on the lot.
Recommendation:
Prior to issuance of the building permit the applicant must address the aforementioned issues of this
email. Please have the applicant call me (Al Brixius @ 763-957-1100) if there are any questions regarding
this correspondence. The city engineer is also reviewing this site plan and will provide comments.
Have a nice weekend,
