Howard R, Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS September 25, 1997 File: 801430J-0240 .=c)rrnerly MSA , ~onsulting Enginee~ Mr. Steve Ach City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, Mn 55330-0490 RE: CULVER'S PROPOSED RESTAURANT FACILITY Dear Mr. Ach: As requested, we have reviewed the submittal prepared for the proposed Culver's Restaurant. The restaurant is proposed to be located in Outlot A of Hillside Crossing Two. As you are aware, this outlot is being proposed to be replatted as Hillside Crossing Five. Based on our review, comments received at the staff review meeting, and meeting with the Developer of the Hillside Crossing area, we would offer the following comments: The information submitted was prepared by Landform Engineering Company and c:~nsisted of a set of plans containing an Existing Conditions Plan, Preliminary Site Plan, Preliminary Grading Plan, Preliminary Utility Plan, Floor Plan, and building elevations. They also submitted a drainage calculation for the site. In our meeting with Mr. Rick Foster, Developer of the Hillside Crossing area, he indicated that it is not his intent to construct the entire parking area shown on the Landform Engineering Company plans. He indi~,~ted that he intends to construct the access off of Evans Street and everything lying north of that line. The remaining part of the parking lot would be constructed in the future when additional development occurs in this area. The Drainage Plan submitted will work fine with the revised construction which Mr. Foster has indicated will take place. If the entire area were to be built according to the Landform plan, we feel that there is too much drainage sheeting across the entire parking area. As Mr. Foster has indicated the phase construction, they will be able to sheet drain a portion of the parking lot to the south and will then need some type of rock swale leading to the existing ca;ch basin on the site. In the future, when further development occurs. strategically p;aced catchbasins will be required to pick up the drainage. 3. We have the following comments on the Preliminary Site Plan: The access off of Evans Street is shown as 24 feet wide. Perhaps this could be widened slightly to 30 feet to provide additional room for vehicles to pass. The parking stalls shown adjacent to the building site are 19 feet in depth. According to City ordinance, these could be 18 feet because of the allowable overhang at the curb side. However, the parking shown away from the building site needs to be expanded from 38 feet for back-to-back parking to 40 feet, because there is no allowable overhang. ~O/EO'd E£:60 £55~-gE-d~S
