• -III St <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> May 13, 1994 <br /> File: 230-230-11 <br /> Mr. Steve Ach <br /> City Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERING <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL RE: T. S. CONSTRUCTION, INC. <br /> PROPOSED OFFICE BUILDING <br /> MUNICIPAL <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> PLANNING <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the information submitted by T. S. Construction, Inc., for <br /> STRUCTURAL their proposed office building at the southwest corner of the intersection of Main Street and <br /> • Freeport Avenue. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> SURVEYING <br /> 1. We understand that the proposed parking area may some day in the future be <br /> TRAFFIC expanded westerly to connect with other commercial buildings in that location and <br /> to complete a link between Main Street and Freeport Avenue. We would recommend <br /> TRANSPORTATION that the parking areas not be allowed to surface drain to Freeport Avenue. Rather, <br /> we would recommend that the Developer be required to extend storm sewer from <br /> Main Street to the parking area and pick up all storm drainage internally. There is <br /> a 36-inch diameter storm sewer pipe available adjacent to this building site on the <br /> south side of Main Street. This storm sewer could easily be extended into the <br /> parking lot along either a Freeport Avenue alignment or an alignment on the west <br /> side of the property. <br /> City Council has been concerned about the recent flooding of the intersection of Main <br /> Street and Evans Avenue, and has drawn up preliminary plans for a storm sewer <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive improvement which would divert drainage to the east toward TH 169 and County <br /> St.Paul,MN 55108 Ditch 10. Allowing surface drainage out of this proposed parking lot along Freeport <br /> Avenue to Main Street would add to the existing problem at the intersection of Evans <br /> 612-644-4389 and Main. Requiring it to be picked up directly in the storm sewer along Main Street <br /> Fax:612-644-9446 would divert it away from the Main and Evans intersection. <br /> •9800 Shelard Parkway 2. Water service is available from the extension along the east side of Freeport Avenue <br /> which was put in last year with the construction of the Chuba Building on the east <br /> Minneapolis,MN 55441 side of Freeport Avenue. A 1-inch water service should also be available directly <br /> 612-546-0432 <br /> Fax:612-544-6398 <br />
