Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: COUNTRY CROSSING TOWNHOMES DEVELOPMENT <br />SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the Country Crossing Townhome package submitted by <br />the developer, Mr. Dave Kingman of Kingman Building Company. The package consisted <br />of a preliminary plat, site plan, preliminary grading drainage and erosion control plan, <br />preliminary utility plan, and preliminary landscaping plan. All items with the exception <br />of the landscaping plan were prepared by John Oliver & Associates, and dated <br />November 29, 1994. Based on our review of the submittal, comments made at the staff <br />concept review meeting, and a review meeting with the developer Mr. Dave Kingman, we <br />would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Preliminary Plat <br /> <br />The preliminary plat does not show the outline of the drainage and ponding <br />easement for the large detention and sedimentation pond on the southern part of the <br />property. It is difficult to determine whether or not any of the proposed twin home <br />lots fall within this drainage easement. We would request that the preliminary plat <br />be revised to accurately show this northerly line of the drainage easement. Any lots <br />which fall within this drainage easement should be adjusted to be located outside of <br />the easement. <br /> <br />Glen Sundeen from the Municipal Utilities has indicated a need for a minimum of <br />10' behind the curb for the purposes of installing electrical lines. Either a utility <br />easement of this width should be provided, or as an alternative, the entire Lot 65 <br />or common area on the project could be designated as a drainage and utility <br />easement. <br />
