<br />Elk River Wal-Mart Store #3209-01 <br />September 2004 <br /> <br />volumes and flow rates for the 10- and 100-year storm events. These calculations were <br />prepared assuming that the Wal-Mart expansion was built and that lots west ofZane <br />Street were all fully developed. <br /> <br />It is our understanding based on conversations with the City Engineer that the storm <br />analysis review would be done by the City. We have not submitted the design to any <br />watershed organization at this time <br /> <br />Utilities <br />Some utility relocations and upgrades will be necessary for the expansion. These issues <br />will be coordinated with the appropriate jurisdiction. <br /> <br />Traffic <br />A traffic analysis has been updated for the following intersections: <br /> <br />Main Street/Trunk Highway 169 <br />Main Street/Zane Street <br /> <br />Based on this updated analysis by Benshoof & Associates (Traffic Study dated September <br />13,2004) it was concluded that after completion of the proposed expansion, the Level of <br />Service at the above intersections would not be negatively impacted by the development. <br />It was also concluded that provision of an additional entrance to the Wal-Mart site would <br />enhance traffic operation by distributing Wal-Mart traffic among three driveways. <br /> <br />Environmental <br />A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was prepared on September 21, 1999, for the <br />project site. At that time the assessment revealed no indications ofrecognized <br />environmental conditions in connection with the site. <br /> <br />A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment was prepared on April II, 2000, for a shop <br />building located on the site. Soil samples collected near a floor hoist and floor drains did <br />not indicate the presence of solvents, petroleum or metal contamination. <br /> <br />A Hazardous Building Materials Inspection was prepared on March 27, 2000, for several <br />buildings occupying the site at that time. Both lead-based paint and asbestos were found <br />in these buildings in variable concentrations. These materials were all abated during <br />demolition of the buildings in preparation for construction of the existing store. <br /> <br />We understand that no additional reviews are necessary from the Watershed District or <br />other City boards. These reviews were covered with the original store approval. <br /> <br />Enclosures: Stormwater Drainage Review Memorandum <br />Traffic Study <br />CUP - dated October 18, 1999 <br /> <br />2 <br />
