Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: ELK PARK CENTER <br />WENDY'S SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the site plan information for the proposed Wendy's site in <br />the Elk Park Center Development. The information we reviewed was prepared by Loucks <br />and Associates, Inc. and was dated June 29, 1994. <br /> <br />The grading plan contained within the packet of information now reflects the accurate <br />representation of the proposed grades for Freeport Avenue and 191st Street. The grading <br />internal to this site is appropriate for this location. There is a 934 contour labeled at the east <br />side of the site which we believe is actually 933 and is just mislabeled. The grading plan <br />allows for drainage to be channelled internally to two locations where it is proposed to be <br />picked up with storm sewer which will connect to the existing storm sewer on Freeport <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />The utility plan shows a 6-inch water line and a 8-inch sanitary sewer line in the location that <br />the stubs are proposed to be placed on the Freeport Avenue Project. I believe the City's <br />construction plan was to extend the utilities approximately 10 feet into the property to avoid <br />conflicts with the sidewalk along Freeport. The developers of the Wendy's restaurant should <br />verify the location of the sewer stubs prior to beginning construction on this site. <br /> <br />The access to the site is by one driveway located approximately mid-lot on Freeport Avenue. <br />Having only one access point requires traffic to flow around the restaurant building. We <br />would recommend that the driving lane on the south side of the proposed building be <br />widened from 20 feet to 24 feet. This will provide more room should a vehicle be parked <br />at the drive up window with another vehicle trying to pass on the south side. We believe the <br />20 foot width on the east side of the building is adequate since it is likely that only one <br />vehicle would use this area at a time. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />~9;tf~ <br />Terry J~~~~;' P.E. <br /> <br />238.!903Jul <br />
