Mr. Scott Harlicker • July 22, 1998 Page 3 • There is an existing sidewalk at the very south end of Lot 2. This was a requirement of the Perkins development, so that pedestrians walking to Perkins would not have to walk in the driveway. The proposed grading plan for Lot 2 shows grades that would be incompatible with the existing sidewalk. The grading plan should be revised in this area to accommodate the sidewalk after the grading is completed. • The grading plan shows in one location approximately 2 feet of fill at the property line with Mn/DOT Trunk Highway 169 right-of-way. As you are aware, a fence was recently installed along this right-of-way line. The developers will need to obtain a Mn/DOT permit for any grading within the Mn/DOT right-of-way, and they will also have to remove and reinstall the fence where their grading operations disturb it. • No drainage calculations have been supplied at this time. Drainage calculations indicating how the storm water will be picked up from the site and conveyed to the pond at the south end of the plat will need to be submitted, reviewed, and approved. D. Site Plan/ Landscape Plan • • ■ There is a significant amount of new landscaping shown along the north boundary of the site in the existing drainage and utility easement. This will be incompatible with the pedestrian trail that will need to be installed there, and there is also question of whether or not this type of landscaping should be allowed over the top of water main and sanitary sewer. • The trash enclosure is also located within this drainage and utility easement. On previous sites, this has been allowed if the owners are willing to provide the City with a letter indicating that they will be responsible for removing the trash enclosure, should work within the drainage and utility easement be necessary. • There is a 30-foot high pilon sign shown along the Trunk Highway 169 corridor. This sign is also located within the drainage and utility easement. It is unclear where it is, relevant to the location of water main and sanitary sewer. If this sign is to be allowed within the drainage and utility easement, it should be situated such that the utilities within the easement can be excavated without disrupting the sign. • It appears that a portion of the building may fall within the drainage and utility easement in the southwest corner. From the site plan, it is very close and the overhangs of the building may actually encroach into the easement. If this is true, the building will have to be slid slightly to the east. • O:\PROJ\804400J\0240\400-2202.j uly.doc
