Howarc R. Green Co September 9, 2002 File: 818590J -0240 Honorable Chair and Planning Commission City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117 -1633 RE: THE LODGE AT LITTLE CANADA CITY OF LITTLE CANADA, MINNESOTA Dear Planning Commission Members: mpany As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed The Lodge at Little Canada development, previously named The Village Square at Little Canada, located at the corner of Rice Street and Little Canada Road. The proposed townhomes are again shown at only a concept stage on this plan submittal. Based upon our review and conversations with other City staff, we would offer the following comments: 1. Only one entrance and egress point is shown for the townhome development off Little Canada Road. A second access should be provided for emergency vehicles. The emergency access would only need to be 10 -12 feet wide and breakaway bollards could be used to prevent normal use of the entrance. 2. Does some off - street parking need to be provided for the townhome development? 3. Hydrants should be added to the two dead -end watermains in the townhome development. 4. All drainage and utility easements including the ten -foot easement required along street right -of -way and five -foot easement along property lines should be shown on the plat. All designated wetlands should be shown on the plat as well. 5. The drainage calculations submitted were incomplete and no drainage area maps were provided. The developer's engineer has been contacted to supply the necessary information for review. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please feel free to call. Sincerely, Howard R.
