1811 Ellie Ct - Ltr. re: Retaining Wall from Dave W. October 27, 2011 Mr. Dustin Endres Endres Custom Homes, Inc. 11732 Independence Way Woodbury, MN 55129 Re: 1811 Ellie Ct. Eagan, MN Dear Mr. Endres, It has come to the City's attention that the home you recently completed at the above address has a retaining wall constructed on the east side of the lot and a portion of it is within the drainage and utility easement. In addition, the wall crosses the property line and is encroaching onto the neighboring property by approximately 10 feet. The wall must be removed from the neighboring property as well as the easement as soon as possible. To insure compliance with this serious matter the City has placed a hold on issuing the Certificate of Occupancy for the home. As a reminder, per City Code, any retaining wall over 4 feet in height (measured from the bottom of the buried blocks to the top of the wall) requires a building permit and engineered plans. It also appears that portions of the irrigation system may be encroaching onto the neighboring property in the same area. If this is the case then the irrigation layout should be adjusted to insure that it is placed completely on your property. Please let me know when you have completed the relocation work as well as subsequent grading so City staff can perform a follow-up inspection prior to releasing the hold on the Certificate of Occupancy. If you have any questions or would like to meet on site to review anything please feel free to contact me at 651-675-5641 or dwestermayer(,cityofeagan.com.
