13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 November 21, 2005 File: 266-102P Mr. Chris Leeseberg City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River :MN 55330 RE: SAXON AUTO WORlD SITE PLAN REVIEW Dear Mr. Leeseberg: . As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the Saxon Auto W orId used car facility at the old NAPA building ~m Zane Avenue. The plans we reviewed were prepared by John Oliver & Associates and had a revision date of November 16, 2005. Based upon our review, we would offer the following comments. 1. The existing building currently uses on-site septic and well facilities. The plans show the building being connected to City sewer and water located within Zane Avenue. Services are proposed to be extended with a six-inch sanitary sewer line and a four-inch water line. Based on the potential uses of the building, I would recommend that a sampling manhole be required in the sanitary sewer line. This property has previously been assessed for sanitary sewer and water when the utilities were installed in Zane Avenue. 2. The property owned by Saxon Autb W orId still has a cartway easement across the southern portion, one rod wide each side of the section line n.mning from the east property line to the west property line. Since there is no expansion of the existing building proposed, the cartway easement will have no affect on the proposal. 3. Although there is a small expansion of the parking lot and there is grading proposed south of the building, mostly for aesthetics and visibility, there should be no affect on the storm drainage. The property should drain just as it has with its previous user. The grading and expansion of the parking lot are well under an acre in area, therefore, do hot .
