Box 490 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: NORTH MEADOWS PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Dear Mr. Rohlf: As requested, we have reviewed the plans and specifications submitted for the North Meadows Addition. These plans and specifications were prepared by John Oliver & Associates, and were dated May 1993. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments. • A. PLANS 1. The street width is shown inaccurately as being 15 feet to the gutter feet. This should be expanded to 16 feet to give a total width of 32 feet rather than 30 feet. 2. There is an existing drainageway that flows through this property. It is difficult to eliminate, therefore the grading plan shows a drainage easement on the north side of the road in Lots 2 and 3, Block 1, and then again on the south side of the road in Lots 1 and 2, Block 2. We see no problem with this. Basically, most lot drainage will not flow to the street. It is not clear how the drainage works where the road crosses this ditch. Is a culvert needed under the road? More information needs to be provided in this area. 3. The area west of Lot 4, Block 2, has an existing low area that is drained through a culvert. The plan calls for removal of this existing culvert. In order to not trap water in this area, we would recommend that a pipe be extended out of structure 105 in the cul-de-sac with a flared end to pick up this low area. Again, it would be useful if more spot elevations were provided in this area. • 4. A permit will be needed from Sherburne County for work within the County Road 32 right-of-way. 1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.
