Re: Parking Pad and Retaining Wall Projects
Dear Mr.Wilson:
It was nice meeting you and your family this past Monday. I appreciate your time in discussing the plans
for your driveway/parking pad project and the work you will be helping the neighbors with on the
retaining wall at your shared property line.
As per our conversation you will need to pull a permit for the parking pad work to your property. If you
anticipate replacing your driveway and resurfacing the pad with the same material within this year,I will
accept the permit application for both projects and will allow phasing with the pad material as I and the
driveway and pad material change out at II. This is a zoning permit,with a flat rate permit fee of$25.00.
You were provided with the parking pad requirements and notice of limitation of what may be placed
upon a parking pad with my May 11,2018 letter. Please review those requirements and limitations so
that you can plan for the pad and its use accordingly.
As to the retaining wall project,your neighbor must apply for that work permit regardless of your help
with the installation. You certainly may help them with the site plan and information in making that
permit if you wish. Again,per our conversation,I will need their permit application,a site plan with
information related to placement,materials and engineering for anything over 4-feet in height. If the
plan is to place it upon the shared property line or within 5-feet of it,they will also need to notify you in
writing of their intent to make such placement and a copy of that communication is to be made part of
their permit application. I have enclosed the permit application packet for this work.
If you or your neighbor have any questions,please feel fee to contact me anytime. I can be reached by
email at jhultman@citvofoakparkheights.com or telephone at(651)351-1661.
I look forward to working with both of your households on your projects.
Sincerely,
PLANNING&CODE ENFORCEMENT
