Box 490 <br />EIk River, MN 55330 <br />RE: DARE FUNERAL HOME EXPANSION <br />SITE PLAN REVIEW <br />Dear Mr. Ach: <br />As you requested, we have reviewed the proposed expansion of the Dare Funeral Home <br />located on Main Street. The .Site Plan we reviewed was prepared by Miller Funeral Home <br />Design and Construction. Based on our review and input from. the concept review meeting, <br />avaENcINEERIr~ we would offer the following comments. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL <br />UNICIPAL 1, The major component of this expansion is the redefining and modifying of the <br />~`~""I"~ existing parking area located behind the Funeral Home. The Site Plan shows the <br />SOLID WASTF p~~g ~~ to be squared off and parking to be defined along., the perimeter and ]77 <br />STRUCTURAL the center. There are no existing or proposed elevations shown; therefore, it is <br />suevErlN~ difficult to determine how the proposed parking lot improvements relate to the <br />TRAFFIC surrounding area. There is an existing single family home just to the southwest of <br />TRANSPORTATION this area, and it will be critical to determine how these proposed improvements may <br />impact that property. Prior to any final approval of the proposed parking lot <br />EIECTRICAUMECFiANICAI <br />ENCINEERINC: improvements, a Grading and Drainage Plan should be submitted showing the <br />HvAc proposed and existing elevations. <br />POwEP, DISTRIBUTION <br />scADA We understand that the proposed improvements to the parking lot include concrete <br />svsTEMcoNTROis curb and gutter around the perimeter. This is not indicated by the Site Plan. The <br />Grading and Drainage Plan should reflect the installation of this curb and gutter. <br />2. The driveway access to King Street is shown to be 32 feet wide. By City <br />ordinance, the maximum width allowed. is 30 feet. <br />3. The existing drainage in the area is shown by a catchbasin located outside the <br />proposed. driveway in King Street. There is some question whether or not it is <br />shown in the proper location. The actual location of the catchbasin relative to the <br />FFicES w: south end of King Street needs to be verified. Also, the Grading and Drainage Plan <br />~INN[APOLIS should reflect appropriate elevations that will get the runoff from the parking area <br />PRIOR SAKE and the building to the existing stone sewer facility. <br />5T.
