Mr. Scott Harlicker February 16, 2004 Page Three C. Wetland Issues This plat was before the TEP on Tuesday, February 10, 2004. A wetland delineation was submitted, prepared by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company. No final decision was made by the TEP at the meeting. However, the discussion centered on a few main points as follows: · Should the detention pond prior to outletting to Ditch 31 be a two-celled pond to provide a greater level of treatment for the protected water? · The TEP did not particularly care for the area shown as wetland mitigation. The area caused significant steepness in_the rear yards of lots in Block 8 and called for a retaining wall that is both potentially a safety hazard in its proximity to the public roadway and the four lots in Block 8. · A suggestion was made and discussed at the TEP that the four lots in Block 8 be eliminated, and the detention pond located north of 196th Avenue be relocated into the former Block 8. The TEP felt that this would provide an opportunity to flatten the grades in this area, potentially eliminating the need for the retaining wall, and also provide the storm water pond outlet a area of wetland to flow through before reaching the protected waters of Ditch 31. D. Street and Utility Plan · The water system in Woodland Hills needs to connect to the existing water located under CSAH 1 near the entrance. · The watermain in Albany Circle and Woodland Court cul-de-sacs needs to be looped in accordance with City design criteria. · Provisions need to be made for future looping of watermain off of 196th Avenue into the Campbell property when that area develops into the cul-de-sac shown as a "ghost" plat. · Any remnants of temporary cul-de-sacs on Albany Street, Boston Street and 195t" Avenue in the Nordic Woods development need to be removed when the connections are made. · A temporary cul-de-sac needs to be provided on the end of Campbell Circle in accordance with the City design criteria. It will be necessary to get permission from the Campbells for this temporary cul-de-sac or eliminate lots in the development to provide room for it. · The driveway to the Campbell's home off of CSAH 1 should be relocated to access onto Campbell Ddve and the access point on CSAH 1 eliminated. · There is a trail system shown in the southeast corner of the plat through Outlot A. This trail system needs to be built to a ten-ton standard ten feet wide in order to provide access for the Elk River Municipal Utilities to their well and treatment facility located just off the plat in the southeast corner. · The proposed plat is showing 50-foot rights-of-way, based on the design standard of the smaller lots and specific home styles. Sidewalk should be constructed in the drainage and utility easement outside of the 50-foot right-of-way in order to provide a large enough boulevard for snow storage, signing, and fire hydrants.
