Re: 1430/ 1466 Yankee Doodle Road
Retaining Wall Repair/Replacement
Dear Mr. Miller,
As you are likely aware, the retaining wall located on the south side of Yankee Doodle
Road adjacent to MFC property at 1430 and 1466 Yankee Doodle Road is in disrepair
and needs attention. The wall was constructed with the original development of those
properties to accommodate changes in grade and the parking lot.
The wall is now adversely impacting public right-of-way as it is falling to the north into
the existing sidewalk. If it is left to collapse, there could be liability issues if someone
happens to be injured or there is property damage.
Because of its location and purpose, the wall is the maintenance responsibility of the
property owner. Please follow up with me or John Gorder from our department as to
your plans for repair or replacement of the wall. Your timely attention to this matter is
appreciated.
If you have any questions or would like to meet on site, feel free to contact me at 651-
675-5640 or John at 651-675-5645.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Hi Chad,
A%
Thanks for the update. Yes, a permit from Dakota County
(http://www.co.dakota.mn.us/DoingBusiness/Permits/Highway/ROW.htm ) will be required.
The City does have plans to repair broken sidewalk in the area this construction season, and will coordinate that work to
be completed after the wall replacement is done.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Hi John,
Bruce forwarded your email to me. Yes we are planning on replacing the retaining wall as part of the remodel. I will be
getting some proposed materials from the landscaper next week for our approval. Will I need to acquire a ROW permit
from Dakota County? The work will likely take place in later July. The sidewalk in front of the wall is severely cracked and
uneven. Would you be replacing the walks after the retaining wall work? We are also planning some new landscaping
beds along Yankee Doodle just to spruce things up a little along with the remodel. Let me know if you need more info or
what permits I may need for the wall.
Thanks, have a good weekend.

Hi Bruce,
The City Building Inspection Department made me aware of your proposed exterior remodel and parking lot
improvements for Yankee Plaza (1430-1466 YD Road). This reminded me of the discussions we had in April regarding
the failing retaining wall along the right-of-way. I am wondering if you are coordinating repair/ replacement of the wall
in conjunction with these improvements. Please let me know. Thanks,
John
