Mr. Scott Harlicker <br /> • August 9, 2001 <br /> Page Five <br /> Bruce West, Fire Chief, has indicated that on the four apartment buildings he <br /> needs the ability to get a fire engine within 150 feet of all areas on the building <br /> perimeter. The building scale of approximately 330 feet long which means that a <br /> fire access road needs to be provided along the sides of the building and at least <br /> partially along the back of the building. <br /> City policy states that any water main containing hydrants is a public facility and, <br /> therefore, must fall within easements so that the Elk River Municipal Utilities can <br /> maintain and operate the water system. Therefore, the common areas either <br /> need a blanket drainage and utility easement or specified easements need to be <br /> provided on all utility routes. <br /> 2. The row houses and back-to-back units either need to be provided individual <br /> sanitary sewer and water services to each unit or the association needs to be the <br /> responsible party for sewer and water use fees. <br /> D. Grading Plan Issues <br /> 1. The access roads to all of the row houses and back-to-back units should include <br /> concrete curb and gutter. <br /> 1111 <br /> 2. We have been working with the developer's engineer on grading plan issues, <br /> most of which have been addressed. There are still a few minor issues such as <br /> missing contours or mislabeled elevations. These issues can be corrected as the <br /> project moves forward. <br /> 3. On the south property line behind building units 8-15, there is a single retaining <br /> wall shown. By elevation, that wall would reach a maximum height of six feet. <br /> The wall should be tiered. <br /> 4. In the same general location, the existing topography indicates a line of power <br /> poles. Is there an easement to a utility company for these power poles? Can the <br /> retaining wall and potentially the buildings encroach into the power line <br /> easement? <br /> 5. All sidewalks within the development should be six feet wide. <br /> If you have any questions regarding any of these issues, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard Green Company <br /> Terry J. ur�.E. <br /> • <br /> Howarc R.Green ComGany <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />
