The submittal package consisted of a set of construction plans with a site plan, <br /> grading plan,utility plan, and landscaping plan. Also submitted were storm sewer <br /> calculations. Both of these were prepared by McCombs Frank Roos&Associates, Inc. <br /> Also submitted was a traffic analysis prepared by Benshoof&Associates, Inc. Based on our <br /> review, comments received at the staff review meeting, and a meeting with the engineer for <br /> the project from McCombs Frank Roos&Associates,we would offer the following <br /> comments: <br /> 1. The proposed expansion consists of 69,671 additional square feet added to the almost <br /> 141,000 square feet existing building. This would bring the total building size to 210,662 <br /> feet. The bulk of the expansion is on the east side of the building. There are also minor <br /> extensions in the front or south side of the building and on the west side of the building. <br /> It is important to remember from an engineering standpoint that when Elk River <br /> Crossing infrastructure was originally designed,this building expansion was anticipated. <br /> Therefore,the drainage and utility system was originally designed to handle this <br /> expansion. <br /> 2. From a sanitary sewer and water standpoint,three hydrants around the perimeter of the <br /> existing building will have to be slightly relocated to make room for the expansion. The <br /> entire building footprint of the existing store and the proposed expansion already has <br /> watermain looped around it. With the relocation of the three existing hydrants,the <br /> building should have adequate fire protection. There will be an additional water services <br /> extended to the building; an 8-inch line for fire flow and a 3-inch line for domestic <br /> consumption. <br /> From a storm drainage standpoint,there will be some minor extensions of small <br /> diameter storm sewer and catch basins to pick up the flow from the parking lot <br /> Phone:763.635.1000 <br /> Pax:763.635.1090 <br /> www.ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
