Dear Gary:
During a visit to the project site today, I noted four items that need to be addressed immediately.
Berms:
According to the grading plan and my observations, the berms along CSAH 18 have 3: 1 side
slopes. These slopes need to be flattened to at least 4: 1 so future homeowners can easily mow
them. Is there something other than sod or seed being placed on these side slopes?
Ponds:
Most detention ponds appear deeper than what is shown on the grading plan. Verify that all
bottom elevations of the ponds are correct.
Silt Fence:
According to City ordinance, silt fence shall be installed along the front of all lots to prevent
material from being tracked onto the street during home construction. It appears that the
home builders are doing this themselves only on the lots that they are working on. This is
unacceptable because it does not limit access to the lots as intended by the ordinance. As the
developer, you should be installing silt fence within both developments behind all curb or
sidewalk.
Erosion Control:
According to City ordinance, a schedule shall be submitted to show how and when
permanent vegetation will be established. This schedule shall include proposed methods to
control erosion and sedimentation in all disturbed areas. How and when will this be
completed?

Please inform the City as to when and how these items will be handled by you. These items need
to be taken care of before the end of the current construction season. Call me at 320/229-4272 if
you have any questions.
Sincerely,
