TASSO(IATtS <br />TAUT: MOM <br />June 7, 2012 <br />File: 120162E -0240 <br />Honorable Chair and Planning Commission <br />City of Little Canada <br />515 Little Canada Road East <br />Little Canada, MN 55117 -1633 <br />RE: YORKTON RIDGE ESTATES <br />CITY OF LITTLE CANADA <br />Dear Planning Commission: <br />We have reviewed the submittal package for the Yorkton Ridge Estates plat. The <br />property lies in the southwest corner of Yorkton Ridge and Condit Street and has the <br />existing address of 2991 Condit Street. This platting will subdivide the parcel into 3 <br />separate lots. The submittal documents contained a preliminary plat and grading plan. <br />Based upon our review we would offer the following comments. <br />Preliminary Plat <br />1. Additional drainage and utility easement should be granted in the southeast <br />corner of Lot 3 to encompass the existing rainwater garden. <br />Grading Plan <br />1. The drainage swales running along the north /south lot lines should be <br />extended to the south property line to ensure no drainage from an adjacent <br />lot crosses onto another property. Spot elevation should be provided along <br />the lot line and edge of the drainage and utility easement to document the <br />swa le. <br />2. The plan contains a note requiring silt fence, but the plan should show <br />locations where silt fence is anticipated. At a minimum silt fence should be <br />shown along Yorkton Ridge and the west property line. <br />3. The site disturbance is over 20,000 square feet which will require stormwater <br />management and control. Based on the fact that no new street is being <br />constructed for the development we do not feel that stormwater calculations <br />are necessary for the site. We would recommend that the City require that <br />two rain gardens, each approximately 25 feet by 10 feet, be installed along <br />Yorkton Ridge to collect and infiltrate street water and runoff from the lots. <br />The placement of the gardens will require that a portion of the street curb be <br />removed to allow for an inlet to the garden. We would recommend that one <br />of the gardens be placed at the west end of the site and one near the shared <br />lot line of Lots 2 and 3. Drainage and utility easements should be provided <br />around the rain gardens. <br />Ltr- 060712 -PC <br />10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449 - Phone: (763) 780 -0450 - Fax: (763) 780 -0452 <br />
