Steve Ach • October 15, 1993 Page Six 4. Consideration should be given to opening the traffic pattern between Lots 2 and 3 and Lot 1 of Block 1. This would provide for a better circulation pattern. 5. Each parking lot must have a sufficient number of handicap parking stalls. 6. There is no clear method shown on the plan to provide delivery vehicle access to Lot 7 or 8, Block 2. This raises a potential problem of delivery access in conflict with customer traffic patterns. The site plan should be revised to provide better delivery vehicle access to these two facilities. 7. The number of access points from Freeport Avenue to Block 2 has been reduced from eight to five. This is a vast improvement and provides for much better access on to and off of Freeport Avenue. 8. An access road is provided across the front of the main buildings on Block 2. An adequate number of pedestrian crossings need to be provided with the appropriate signing and striping. It may also be necessary at some point to • provide speed humps to reduce the speed of traffic in this area. 9. The number of access points on Jackson Avenue for delivery vehicles has been reduced to two with the driving/delivery areas all connected. This provides for the minimum delivery vehicle trips on Jackson while providing good flow for emergency vehicles. E. SANITARY SEWER AND WATER 1. An elevated water tower in the high pressure zone is required to provide water service to this site. The Elk River Municipal Utilities recently awarded a contract for construction of this elevated water tower. It is anticipated the water tower will be in service by the end of July 1994. Sanitary sewer service to the site will be provided by extending the existing trunk line currently located south of School Street through the site, ultimately serving properties to the north and east of the proposed development. It is anticipated that the sanitary sewer and water to serve the site would be constructed as part of a public improvement project, thus requiring a feasibility study after the preliminary plat is approved. The feasibility study would provide detailed information relative to the sizing and location of these facilities. • 2. The preliminary layout of sanitary sewer and water to serve the site appears to be adequate with one exception. The watermain shown in Block 1 should be looped to provide adequate service to the three commercial lots. 152-15O1.0cr
