Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: VIDEO UPDATE SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> As you requested, we have reviewed the site plan submittal information for the proposed <br /> Video Update facility in the Elk Park Center. Based on our review, we would offer the <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERING following comments. <br /> NVIRONMENTAL <br /> NICIPAL 1. The grading of the site indicates that all surface drainage would be conveyed <br /> PLANNING directly onto Freeport Avenue. This is not an acceptable situation. Catchbasins <br /> SOLID WASTE should be constructed internal to the site with all surface drainage picked up prior <br /> STRUCTURAL to discharge onto Freeport Avenue. The grades at the driveway should be adjusted <br /> SURVEYING slightly to create a high point such that overland flow from the site onto Freeport <br /> TRAFFIC <br /> is eliminated. <br /> TRANSPORTATION <br /> ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL 2. The Fire Chief has reviewed the spacing of the fire hydrants on Freeport Avenue <br /> ENGINEERING: and indicates that these are adequate to provide fire protection to the proposed <br /> HVAC facility. <br /> POWER DISTRIBUTION <br /> SCADA 3. The trash receptacle area located just off the southeast corner of the building will <br /> SYSTEM CONTROLS be very difficult for a large garbage truck to access. We would recommend that this <br /> location be reconsidered and designed in such a way that access is much easier. <br /> 4. The grading on the south side of the building indicates a swale for overland flow <br /> toward the west at a 0.66% grade. We would recommend that this swale be graded <br /> to a minimum of 1% to ensure adequate drainage from this area. Drainage along <br /> the south side of the building also needs to consider the north side of the lot <br /> adjacent to Video Update. There is no information provided on the grading plan <br /> relative to drainage in this area. This needs to be added and considered in the <br /> •FFICES IN: overall drainage of the two areas. Perhaps a swale located along the lot line <br /> MINNEAPOLIS between the two would be a reasonable solution to drainage in this entire area. <br /> PRIOR LAKE <br /> ST.PAUL <br /> WASECA <br />
