Banwart <br />Community Development Director <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Northern Boulevard N.W. <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Subject: INFORMATION REQUIRED ON CERTIFICATE OF SURVEY <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Banwart: <br /> <br /> The Ci[y of Ramsey proposed certificate of survey requirements for <br />building permits appears to be consistent with other cities. <br /> <br />The cost of providing the additional information required would be <br />$150 to $250 over and above the cost of a simple survey showing the <br />location of a proposed structure. <br /> <br />Our total fee for a certificate of survey showing similar information <br />ranges between $300 to $500. Variables such as wetlands, lakes and <br />house foot prints dictate final cost. <br /> <br />There is one item of concern in your proposal regarding the separation <br />of the lower floor elevation and the mottled soil. I believe it would <br />be impractical to try to maintain a minimum of 1.0 feet separation <br />between the two. We have found that in Plymouth, Medina, Corcoran and <br />Maple Grove that mottled soil is generally observed at approximately <br />3.0 to 5.0 feet depth. To counter problems where the basement extends <br />into mottled soil, builders have successfully tiled around footings <br />and under the floor and dispersed the collected water through a sump <br />pump. <br /> <br />Also, who is responsible for determining whether or not soil borings <br />are required? Is the surveyor going to be responsible to get a soil <br />boring? A single soil boring to determine mottled soil would cost <br />approximately $150.00 to $500. I believe the item regarding the <br />mottled soil should be rethought and clarified. <br /> <br />I hope this information is of some help to you. <br /> <br />Very truly yours, <br /> <br />DEMARS-GABRIEL LAND SURVEYORS, INC. <br />Gary L.
