PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the final plat for Mississippi Oaks Second Addition. The <br />plat was prepared by John Oliver & Associates. Based on our review, we offer the <br />following comments: <br /> <br />South of 180th Avenue and west of Elgin, the First Addition plat shows an <br />exception. This is the area that was to be dedicated as park. I do not believe this <br />was platted with the First Addition of Mississippi Oaks and would recommend that <br />it be included with this plat of the Second Addition. <br /> <br />During the construction of the First Phase, the storm sewer at the east end of <br />Block 2 was offset slightly from the lot line, this will now go along Lots 7 and 8 <br />of Block 1, Second Addition. We question whether or not the easement <br />adequately covers the storm sewer alignment. This should be checked and an <br />additional easement given if necessary. <br /> <br />At the north end of Riverview Drive, according to the preliminary construction <br />plans, there will be some storm sewer catch basins installed. The Second <br />Addition plat should include enough area in this northern stretch of Riverview <br />Drive to accommodate the construction shown on the preliminary plans. <br /> <br />Between Lots 9 and 10, there is an additional easement provided on each lot. We <br />assume this is the location of the storm sewer outlet. The storm sewer line is <br />approximately 15' deep. We question whether a 10' easement on Lots 9 and 10, <br />for a total of 20', is wide enough. We believe the easement on each lot should be <br />increased by approximately 5'. <br /> <br />The plat has a note that indicates the vast majority of the lot corners will be set <br />within one year of recording this plat. This is allowed by a recently adopted State <br />Statute. However, I believe that the City would be within their rights to ask the <br />County to require a date certain to be provided on the plat, or the other route the <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
