Mr. Scott Harlicker • <br /> December 15, 1999 <br /> Page Two <br /> 5. At the north end of the site there is a driveway shown to connect to the Wal-Mart building <br /> site to the north. However, this proposed driveway is shown beyond the limits of <br /> construction. It is our understanding that the Wal-Mart site will be under development at the <br /> same time or before the Home Depot site. Therefore we would suggest that driveway <br /> connecting to that site be constructed at this time. <br /> 6. The driveway access of the Tyler Street on the east side of the store is shown as 36-feet <br /> wide. City ordinance sets a maximum driveway width of 32-feet. <br /> 7. The grading plan shows a 12-foot drop in approximately 20-feet at the rear of the store <br /> adjacent to the proposed pond. This is far to steep of grade for this area. We have talked to <br /> Lynn Caswell of John Oliver and Associates and he indicated that they are looking at slightly <br /> revising the grading plan and perhaps dropping the finished floor elevation of the building to <br /> minimize the fall from the building to the pond in this area. <br /> 8. The utility plan shows the watermain to be looped from 179th Avenue around the building <br /> and then connected to the north in the Wal-Mart site. We would suggest that it might be <br /> easier to loop the watermain back to Tyler Street in the northeast corner of the site. Tyler <br /> Street has not been constructed at this time and the watermain could be easily wet-tapped. <br /> This would provide a shorter loop then would be required to loop to the Wal-Mart watermain. <br /> 9, The storm sewer plan shows all drainage from the front of the building including the parking • <br /> area to be connected to the storm sewer proposed for 179th Avenue at two locations. One <br /> of these locations provides at 27-inch stub, the other provides a 21-inch stub. It will be <br /> necessary to review the drainage calculations for the Home Depot site to compare them to <br /> the storm drainage calculations approved for the Elk River Crossing development to ensure <br /> that adequate capacity has been provided to these two locations to service the Home Depot <br /> lot. <br /> If you have any questions regarding any of these comments please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R.
