.Clf CRING S- -ASSO(I -AT.S June 6, 2005 File No. 120002E -0325 Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road E. Little Canada, MN 55117-1633 RE: GERVAIS HILLS DEVELOPMENT CITY OF LITTLE CANADA Dear Council Members: As requested we have reviewed the final plats submitted for Villas At Little Canada Second and Villas At Little Canada Third. Based upon our review we would offer the following comments. Both plats appear to be in compliance with the requirements with one exception. City ordinance requires that a minimum of a 5 -foot drainage and utility easement be provided along all lot lines. Throughout both plats this is achieved in most cases by granting a drainage and utility easement over all of Lot 11, which covers all area excluding the townhome units themselves. However, in the plat for the Villas At Little Canada Second there is only a 0.63 -foot utility and drainage easement between the lot 10 and the development boundary. The 0.63 foot width only exists for a very short length and is not of great concern as long as no storm water will need to be conveyed through this narrow area. On the Villas At Little Canada Third the 5 -foot minimum is not achieved along Lot 1. Although the 5 -foot minimum is not met within the Third Addition plat, it should be pointed out that a 30 -foot wide drainage and utility easement exists adjacent to this area in the Second Addition plat. With this additional easement taken into account this area is also of little concern. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the above information at 763 - 780 -0450. Sincerely, ELFERING & ASSOCIATES Lee Elfering, P.E.
