Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: NORDIC HILLS ADDITION <br /> <br />Dear Ms. McPherson: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed Nordic Hills <br />Addition. The submittal package was prepared by Loucks & Associates. The submittal <br />package did not have a date on it. The following sheets were contained in the submittal <br />package: <br /> <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br />5. <br />6. <br />7. <br />8. <br />9. <br /> <br />Title Sheet <br />Existing Conditions <br />Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan <br />Sanitary Sewer and Water Plan <br />Preliminary Plat <br />Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Details <br />Utility Details <br />Utility Details <br />Utility Details <br /> <br />Based on our review and comments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer <br />the following comments: <br /> <br />A. GRADING, DRAINAGE, AND EROSION CONTROL PLAN <br /> <br />· The centedine elevations of 194th Avenue as it extends into the development <br /> do not seem to match the proposed contours. There appears to be some <br /> problem where the street elevation is off. Contours appear to be lower than <br /> the centerline elevation and the house pads appear to be too high for the <br /> contours. This needs to be investigated and corrected. There also appears <br /> to be a problem with the proposed versus existing contours in the northwest <br /> comer of the property. <br />· There are a number of areas where the grading plan proposes to have <br /> surface drainage terrace from one lot to the adjacent lot. This is an <br /> unacceptable drainage pattern. The grading plan needs to be revised to <br /> keep the side yard drainage in the prescribed drainage and utility easements <br /> and not allow it to sheet in a terraced manner from one lot to the adjacent lot. <br /> <br />Ltr 4-17-02 McPherson.rev <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 ° 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
