Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />PRECISION FRAME AND ALIGNMENT <br />SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />As you requested, we have reviewed the site plan for the Precision Frame and Alignment <br />property located along 173va Avenue Northwest. Based on our review, comments <br />received at the staff review meeting, and meeting with the property owners and proposed <br />building Contractor, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />The submittal package consisted of a preliminary grading plan prepared by John <br />Oliver and Associates dated April 2, 1997; a site and landscape plan prepared by <br />John Weicht dated February 25, 1997; and three pages of building elevations, <br />also prepared by John Weicht, dated February 20, 1997. <br /> <br />The proposal is to construct a second primary structures on the lot consisting of <br />a building 85' x 65', or 5,500 square feet. This site is already encumbered by <br />the drain field for the Bridgeman's property located to the west. This drain field <br />encompasses an area of approximately 125 feet wide by 37 feet deep, located in <br />the northwest corner of the site. <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />Given these constraints on the property, it is questionable as to whether there is <br />adequate, undisturbed soil to construct a septic tank and drain field to serve the <br />proposed new building. <br /> <br />There needs to be a drainage plan submitted for the site. At a minimum, the <br />drainage plan should provide for a quality control pond for the additional <br />impervious surface. It should also take a look at the amount of water discharged <br />from the site. If there is not an adequate system to discharge to, the drainage <br />plan should retain all of the increased flow from the further development of this <br />site. <br /> <br />The site is within the urban service district in East Elk River. Therefore, any <br />further development of this site should consider sanitary sewer and water, and <br />make provisions for connection to these utilities without disrupting the entire site. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
