MINUTES CITY COUNCIL SEPTEMBER 28, 2005 recommendation is asking thaC he obtain an easement on property that he does not own. The City Engineer reported that if there is an existing drainage and utility easemenC on the property to the south, this would address his concern. The City Engineer recommended that Von Riedel determine whether or not the easement exists. Von Riedel indicated that he will determine this information, and will work with the City on this issue. 9. The City Building Inspector noted that in accordance with Minnesota State Building Code 1303.1600 the minimum soil frost protection is 3.5-feet for building sites. The protection must extend laterally as well as horizontally. Therefore, retaining walls must be at least 42-inches away from the foundation of any home to provide for this protection unless a licensed Engineer provides a signed plan detailing an alternative. It appears that some walls are within the minimum 42-inches. The walls must be revised or signed drawings provided prior to final grading plan approval. Von Riedel indicated acceptance of this recommendation. 10. The Developer should review the ground floor and lowest floor shown for the building pad on Lot 4. As currently shown, Che driveway would be aC 11.8%o and retaining walls are necessary on three sides to support the lot due to the high elevations. Von Riedel indicated acceptance of this recommendation. Utility Plan 1. The storm structures on Preserve Trail should be moved back to the radius point and an additional structure added at the radius point of Preserve Court to move the storm line under the curb and away from the retaining wall to the east of Preserve Trail. Kevin Gardener indicated that his concern was to comply with this recommendation may not gain much separation between the storm sewer line and the retaining wall. He is not sure the recommendation is necessary as long as a catch basin is added at the radius points. The City Engineer replied that compliance with Che recommendation may not get a huge distance separation, but felt that any additional separation would be beneficial. The recommendation will add the cost of one structure. The City Engineer noted that the developer previously agreed to treat the storm water from Preserve Court in the westerly pond. Von Riedel indicated that if the City Engineer feels this was the best solution, then it was acceptable to him. Von Riedel indicated that he did not oppose the addition of one more storm sewer structure. The City Engineer indicated that he would look aC the elevation in more detail as far as catch basin locations are concerned. However, his recommendation remained for one additional storm sewer structure. 16
