Box 490 Fax:612-644-9446 Elk River, MN 55330 RE: HOLIDAY STATIONSTORE SITE PLAN REVIEW Dear Mr. Ach: As requested, we have reviewed the package submitted by John Oliver and Associates for the proposed Holiday Stationstore on Lot 1 of the Heying Addition. This proposed Holiday Station is located at the corner of Freeport Avenue and School Street. The package we reviewed consisted of a Site Dimension and Utility Plan, Grading and CIVIL ENGINEERING: Drainage Plan, Landscape Plan, and two detail sheets, all with a revision date of ENVIRONMENTAL December 30, 1996. As you are aware, there were two staff review meetings, one uN CIPAL reviewing an earlier submittal and one reviewing this most current submittal. In between NING these two meetings, there were several discussions with representatives of Holiday SOLID WASTE Companies and their engineer. Based on all of these meetings and our review of this STRUCTURAL submittal, we would offer the following comments: SURVEYING TRAFFIC 1. As part of the Heying Addition plat, additional easement needs to be provided on TRANSPORTATION Lot 1 to cover the existing sidewalk on the south side of the lot, the extension of the existing hydrant to the north to provide fire protection, and the proposed ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL drainage pond. ENGINEERING: HVAC POWER DISTRIBUTION 2. The sanitary sewer and water services for the site are shown underneath the SCADA proposed drainage pond. If this is the chosen route, extreme care will need to be SYSTEM CONTROLS taken that sufficient cover is provided to ensure that the services will not freeze in the winter months. An alternative for providing water service to the site that could be considered would be to tap a new 2-inch service off of the 24-inch watermain that exists on the east side of the lot. 3. The drive behind the building on the east side of the lot that services the Car Wash is constructed within the existing watermain easement. Bryan Adams, the General Manager of the Elk River Municipal Utilities, has indicated he is not opposed to his easement being used for this purpose; however, he wants it noted that it would OFFICES IN: not be the Municipal Utilities' intention to repair the drive should it be necessary 41111,1NEAPOLIS to excavate it for purposes of repairing the watermain. He would also not be PRIOR LAKE responsible for any loss of business should the car wash need to be closed down ST.PAUL to access the watermain in this easement. WASECA An Equal Opportunity Employer
