Mr. Steve Ach lanuary 17, 1997 Page Three The middle driveway shown on Lot 3 is a concern due to the internal layout of the lot. This driveway can be approached from the east, north, and south, which could lead to internal traffic congestion. It is our understanding that when a development is proposed on Lot 3, there will also be a chance to review the specifics at that time; therefore, this issue can wait until a specific proposal is brought forward. C. PRELIMINARY GRADING PLAN One of the issues that was discussed with the Developer and his engineer was the concern that drainage from the site not be allowed to sheet out onto Freeport Avenue. The Site Plan that has been submitted for the Holiday Stationstore clearly shows a high point which would preclude this from happening. It is difficult to tell from the Heying Addition Grading Plan if the same is true of the two driveways located farther to the north. We assume that this will be the case and that specific site plans for Lots 3 and 4 in the future will show the same high point to keep drainage from sheeting out onto Freeport Avenue. The building shown on Lot 2 has a finished floor elevation of 926.5. However, the Grading Plan shows a 927 contour running into the building on the north side. This means that a small amount of fill will be piled against part of the building's north side and east side. There is also a concern that the grading east of this building not cut into the side slope of the cover over the existing watermain. It appears that the elevation directly above the watermain maintains adequate cover, but that the side slope to the building may reduce the cover provided on this watermain. This should be checked and verified that adequate covet, is maintained. The Site Plan on Lots 1 and 3 shows construction of a driveway servicing the Car Wash and a parking isle in the existing watermain easement. This bas been reviewed with Bryan Adams, General Manager of the Elk River Municipal Utilities. He indicated he has no problem with this type of construction in their watermain easement as long as the cover over the waterrnain, including side slopes, is maintained at 71/2 feet. He also wanted it to be made clear that this construction will be done at the Developer's risk. If, in the future, the Municipal Utilities has to excavate this easement to access the watermain with/n it, it would not be their intent to compensate Holiday for temporary loss of access to the Car Wash and/or rebuild anything that was disrupted within the easement. inn
