Mr. Steve Ach April 22, 1998 Page Two As shown on the site plan the existing bituminous trail along Jackson Road goes onto this property at the northwest corner. This was done when the Elk Park Center area was originally developed in an effort to save trees in this area. This trail needs to be provided an easement for it to remain here, or needs to be relocated into the right-of-way. It appears that the trail's current location falls within the 25-foot building set back and the site could easily provide an easement to cover this area. We would also recommend that some appropriate point a sidewalk into the site be provided from the bituminous trail. o The trash enclosure at the southeast corner of the site is within an existing drainage and utility easement, which is needed for electrical service. The trash enclosure should be moved to a better location that would meet the required setbacks. Also, the curb on the far east side of the site appears not to meet setback requirements. B. Grading and Utility Plan The grading and utility plan shows the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain from the TCF site to the south northerly along the east boundary to 193rd Avenue. This would be a public utility improvement. Therefore, plans and specifications for this work need to be prepared, reviewed, and approved by the City. A preconstruction meeting needs to be'held and City inspection would occur on all of the construction activities associated with this improvement. The building first floor elevation is indicated as 955.0, however, the 956 contour runs into the building at two locations. The grading plans show a break in the curb at the west edge of the building to drain the parking lot on that side. This is not the most desirable way to provide drainage from this area. We would suggest, that if this is the method chosen, making the opening slightly wider will help to insure that it does not plug easily. The drive thru lane for accessing the ATM and the bypass lane measures 16 feet from curb line to island. This does not provide a lot of room for a vehicle to bypass another vehicle sitting at the ATM. We question whether this should be widened slightly or perhaps, the bypass lane is seldom used and 16 feet will work in the case of an emergency. The driveway access onto Jackson Road should be provided with a high point to keep drainage internal to the site. A concrete pedestrian ramp needs to be constructed on both sides to provide access to the bituminous trail. The sign located in the northeast corner of the site is located within the utility easement. This should be moved slightly to the west to keep it out of the easement.
