Glanzer, Kathy From: Hanson, Joel Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 9:57 PM To: 'email @proterradesign.com' Cc: Glanzer, Kathy; Lee Elfering (E- mail); Steve Grittman (NAC) (E- mail); Schroeder, Greg; SBS Law Offices (E -mail) Jeff: Here is a listing of issues /recommendations staff will be making relative to the proposed plat of The Preserve. Please keep in mind review is still on -going by the engineer and planner and additional comments /recommendations could be forthcoming: • Water main size should be increased to 8" from 6" proposed. • Water main should be looped to Viking Drive from end of cul -de -sac to eliminate potential for stagnant water to houses at that end of plat. A tee exists on Viking to accommodate this loop. (Contact Greg Schroeder for exact details) This likely necessitates an easement from the Church of Latter Day Saints or another property owner. • We would like an additional 5 feet of easement from both Lot 12 and 13 for the existing MnDot storm sewer. (Currently a 20 foot easement that we would like increased to 30 feet) We are also seeking MnDot's comments on this issue. (Lee: please follow up on this.) • The existing corrugated metal pipe serving MnDot's storm system should be replaced with concrete pipe throughout the subdivision to minimize future maintenance issues. • Additional storm water piping will be needed from Preserve Trail to the west. (We would like water from intersection of Preserve Court and Preserve Trail to be run to the pond on the west end of the development to enhance water quality through increased treatment.) Contact Lee Elfering for more details. • The driveway for Lot 1, Block 3 is to access Preserve Trail versus Viking Drive to minimize traffic conflicts. • Where the blanket easement exists, we would ask that the developer contact Williams Pipeline and have the easement released on the developer's property or at a minimum, defined to the greatest extent possible on this property. • We want the road right of way to be dedicated to the City of Little Canada moved off the Williams easement except in those cases where a perpendicular crossing is occurring. This provision is due to Williams' statement in their letter dated September 3, 2002 that indicates that "any facilities installed within the pipeline right of way that my be damaged by the Company in the performance of normal or required maintenance shall be repaired by and at the expense of the landowner's) or tenants. Our requirement negates any issues associated with the City's lack of control over Williams' future actions i.e. new pipes placed within the easement, it minimizes risk for residents and the City as to potential expenses needed to cover future disturbances to the street or our utilities associated with the pipeline, and it enhances public safety by keeping construction activities farther away from the pipe. • The front yard setback should be shown as 30 feet. • Any landscaping proposed within the City's right -of -way should be setback a minimum of 5 feet from the curb line. As we discussed, we will not have any special meetings to accommodate the review of this plat as we are so close to the normal meeting schedule for October. Should you have any comments or questions after reviewing this information, please contact the City Planner or the other appropriate staff person. I would also ask that you inform Mr. VonReidel and Mr. LeTendre of this information. Thanks, Joel Hanson City Administrator City of Little Canada
