<br />3 <br /> <br /> <br />calculations will be in compliance with city qodes. The storm sewer system will be <br />designed to provide lateral connections for site development of each lot to pick up storm <br />water runoff internally. The proposed street design includes a low point near the <br />common lot line between lots 7 and 8. The conceptual drainage design will provide for <br />an overland overflow route between lots 7 and 8. A drainage easement will be place on <br />this overflow route to provide for the 100 year rainfall event. The proposed storm sewer <br />improvements are shown as Exhibit 5. <br /> <br />General Sitework <br /> <br />Mass site grading will bring the street to subgrade elevation and wil establish basic <br />drainage patterns on the individual lots. As lots develop, site specific grading plans will <br />need to be prepared to establish site drainage patterns. Due to the existing overhead <br />power line and the grade along the north line, a retaining wall will need to be constructed <br />along the north lot line of Lot 1. <br /> <br />Wetlands <br /> <br />The wetlands on the site were delineated during the development of Twin Lakes Road. <br />The majority of the existing wetlands surrounds a drainage ditch that conveys drainage <br />from Klievers Marsh through the site. Additionally on Lot 1 there is a wetland along the <br />remnants of a drainage ditch that flowed from the Elk River Business Park into the main <br />drainage ditch. The remnant drainage ditch on Lot 1 no longer conveys drainage and <br />splits Lot 1 into two pieces. The area on Lot 1 west of the remnant ditch is not <br />accessible from the north, west or south sides. The only feasible access to the western <br />portion of Lot 1 is across the remnant ditch and because of this limited access it is <br />necessary to fill this wetland in order to make reasonable use of the property. A <br />Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) review of this proposal will be necessary. The <br />proposed wetland fill is shown on Exhibit 6. <br /> <br />VI. PHASING <br /> <br />The Northstar Business Park can be developed in multiple phases. The first phase <br />would begin at the intersection of 175th Avenue and Twin Lakes Road. For purposes of <br />discussion it is assumed that phase one would consist of approximately 750 feet of <br />street and utilities, this would allow for the development of three proposed lots: 5, 6 & 7 <br />and possibly Lot 4. A fire hydrant should be added at the phase break to allow for <br />flushing since the watermain loop would not be complete. A temporary storm water <br />pond could be constructed on proposed lot 8 to receive the storm water from the first <br />phase, until future phases are completed. The temporary pond would discharge into the <br />existing drainage ditch which flows to the expanded regional storm water pond. A <br />temporary cul-de-sac would be installed to provide a vehicle turn around. Sanitary <br />sewer is not affected by phasing, as it flows to the intersection of 17Sh Avenue and Twin <br />Lakes Road. Site grading of the entire site and expansion of the regional storm water <br />pond should be done as part of the initial phase to minimize additional costs associated <br />with phasing and balance the site earthwork quantities. The proposed phasing plan is <br />shown on Exhibit 7. Phasing should reduce the initial investment by the City and will <br />defer the cost associated with future phases. <br />
