Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: CENTRAL LUTHERAN CHURCH <br /> PARKING LOT EXPANSION <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> As you requested, we have reviewed the submittal from Central Lutheran Church <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERING: regarding their proposed parking lot expansion. The plan we reviewed was prepared by <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL Vanman Companies, and was dated August 1, 1996. Based on our review, we would <br /> UNICIPAL offer the following comments. <br /> �NNING <br /> SOLID WASTE 1. In the southern part of the parking lot, a new concrete island ties the new parking <br /> STRUCTURAL lot into the old parking lot. The curvature of the concrete curb and gutter on the <br /> SURVEYING north side runs directly into a parking stall. We would suggest that the driving <br /> TRAFFIC width between the existing curb and the new island be narrowed by bringing the <br /> TRANSPORTATION curb line into the outer edge of the parking stall. <br /> ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL 2. At the north side, there is a note of a temporary bituminous sidewalk. We assume <br /> ENGINEERING: in the future this would become a permanent concrete sidewalk. We also suggest <br /> HVAC that concrete sidewalk should continue along the eastern side of the church and the <br /> POWER DISTRIBUTION southern side leading to the main entrance. This would provide a pedestrian path <br /> SCADA for the people parking at the eastern edge of the parking lot. <br /> SYSTEM CONTROLS <br /> 3. At the staff review meeting, the width of Lions Park Drive was discussed. It <br /> would be appropriate to try and acquire additional right-of-way along the west side <br /> of Lions Park Drive from Central Lutheran Church in an effort to widen the <br /> roadway. If the roadway is unable to be widened, we would suggest the driveway <br /> and/or the radii of the driveway onto Lions Park Drive be widened to facilitate <br /> turning movements. <br /> FENCES IN: <br /> 4. We would suggest that drainage into the pond be accomplished with catch basins <br /> and small diameter pipe. Our experience with rip-rap and concrete spillways is <br /> NNEAPOLIS that eventually erosion occurs at these locations. <br /> PRIOR LAKE <br /> ST.PAUL <br /> WASECA <br /> An Equal Opportunity Employer <br />
