Box 490 <br /> Elk River, Mn 55330-0490 <br /> RE: CULVER'S PROPOSED RESTAURANT FACILITY <br /> Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the submittal prepared for the proposed Culver's Restaurant. <br /> The restaurant is proposed to be located in Outlot A of Hillside Crossing Two. As you are <br /> aware, this outl't is being proposed to be replatted as Hillside Crossing Five. Based on our <br /> review, comments received at the staff review meeting, and meeting with the Developer of the <br /> Hillside Crossing area, we would offer the following comments: <br /> 1. The information submitted was prepared by Landform Engineering Company and c.:insisted <br /> of a set of plans containing an Existing Conditions Plan, Preliminary Site Plan, Preliminary <br /> Grading Plan, Preliminary Utility Plan, Floor Plan, and building elevations. They also <br /> submitted a drainage calculation for the site. In our meeting with Mr. Rick Foster, <br /> Developer of the Hillside Crossing area, he indicated that it is not his intent to conslruct the <br /> entire parking area shown on the Landform Engineering Company plans. He indicted that <br /> he intends to construct the access off of Evans Street and everything lying north of that <br /> line. The remaining part of the parking lot would be constructed in the future when <br /> additional development occurs in this area. <br /> 2. The Drainage Plan submitted will work fine with the revised construction which Mr. Foster <br /> has indicated will take place. If the entire area were to be built according to the Landform <br /> plan, we feel that there is too much drainage sheeting across the entire parking area. As <br /> Mr. Foster has indicated the phase construction, they will be able to sheet drain a portion of <br /> the parking lot to the south and will then need some type of rock swale leading to the <br /> existing catch basin on the site. In the future, when further development occurs, <br /> strategically placed catchbasins will be required to pick up the drainage. <br /> 3. We have the following comments on the Preliminary Site Plan: <br /> ■ The access off of Evans Street is shown as 24 feet wide. Perhaps this could be: <br /> widened slightly to 30 feet to provide additional room for vehicles to pass. <br /> • The parking stalls shown adjacent to the building site are 19 feet in depth. According to <br /> • City ordinance, these could be 18 feet because of the allowable overhang at the curb <br /> side. However, the parking shown away from the building site needs to be expanded <br /> from 38 feet for back-to-back parking to 40 feet, because there is no allowable <br /> overhang. <br /> n•1tn)n Tstn14Ztb\.4 rt,cn2 ....J... <br /> Vnic(71'd 77:E0 L55T-qc-d?S <br />
