MRR-03-2000 14 47 HR GREEN CO. 651 644 2349 P.02i03 Howard R. Green Company CONSULTINQ ENGINEERS March 3, 2000 File: 80931 OJ-0240 Mr. Anthony J. Pini, p,E. Van Sickle, Alien and Associates, Inc. 2955 Xenium Lane N, Suite 10 Plymoufh, MN 66441 RE: NORTHEAST RESIDENT RESPITE MOMES CITY OF LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA Dear Mr. Pini: After our meeting last week with the. City of Little Canada, Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director, and I met with Steve Grlifman, Clty Planner, to review your development. Based on our discussion, following is a summary of the issues needing to be resolved: 1. We discussed your suggestion that the curb around the parking area be omitted on the east side to facilitate sheet flow onto the St. Paul Water Works property. We would suggest an a{terr.ative to omitting the curb. Rather than omitting it we would Suggest a series of three or mare spaces where approximately 1 foot of curb is omitted to allow drainage. Beyond the openings a small area of rip rap should be provided. We believe that this will accomplish !wa things: first, tt will promote sheet drainage that the St. Paul Water Works is looking for, and second, the small rip rap area will take. the place of a storm water quality pond for the small drainage area that does not flow over a grass area. 2. As we discussed a 12-foot wide dr(veway easement will need to be described through the City property for access from your garage to McMenemy Road. 3. After our meeting we did further research on the property nearest Little Canada Road. It is in fact still In the name of St. John's Church. Therefore, your proposed water service will cross bath the City property and the St. John's Church property. , It will be necessary for you to obtain an easement from St. John's Church for the water service to cross their property. Likewise, we will need you to prepare an easement description for the portion of the City property your water service will be crossing. The domestic service curb stop should be placed at the Little Canada Road right-of-way Ilne. 4, As we discussed when we met, the 15-foot driveway easement.for,access to the rear of your proposed building will need to be realigned so that it.meets the access to the parking area, 0:1PROJ5600310J10240LLtr33-00 APlnl.doc 132x^ Energy park Drive .
