Honorable Chairman and Planning Commission January 5, 2001 Page Two 2. The proposed school building will have sanitary sewer service extended from the same manhole which serviced the existing building. Water service is proposed by a 6 -inch water line with a 2 -inch domestic service tapped off of it near the northern end of the proposed building expansion. Both of these water services, the 6 -inch and the 2 -inch, are proposed to have valves located near the property line. These proposed utility services are acceptable to the City. 3. There are no new hydrant locations shown anywhere on the proposed plan. Also, we question whether the Fire Chief will require a fire lane around the perimeter of the building. The plan needs to be reviewed by the Fire Chief for the location and number of new fire hydrants and whether or not a fire lane will be required. C. SITE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS The site plan proposed improvements create a parking area along McMenemy Street in the location of the existing school. It is proposed to use the existing driveway near the church building on McMenemy Street and to create an additional access approximately 340 feet further to the south. There are no designated handicap parking stalls for this new parking lot. We question whether handicap parking stalls will be required near the building in the McMenemy Street parking lot. 2. There is an existing hydrant located near the proposed parking lot access at the south end on McMenemy Street. It appears that this existing hydrant will fall in the curb line. First, it is questionable whether this hydrant will be needed after the existing school is removed. Whether the hydrant is needed should be verified with the Fire Chief and Public Works Director. If the fire hydrant is to remain in place, the curb line should be adjusted slightly or the hydrant relocated so that it falls five feet behind the new curb line. 3. There will be a certain amount of overland flow which will drain directly onto McMenemy Street from the northern driveway access. With the installation of a storm drainage system to drain the remainder of the parking lot, we would recommend that additional catch basins be stubbed up to this location to pick up as much drainage as possible and eliminate overland flow onto McMenemy Street. There is also a small parking area off of Little Canada Road in the northwestern part of the site. This parking lot creates two access points onto Little Canada Road within less than 100 feet of each other. Little Canada Road is a County Road so therefore a Ramsey County permit will be necessary for the construction of these access points. We question whether two access points this close together should be allowed on Little Canada Road. 0:\PROJ \813240) \0240\LU 01 -05.01 PingCom.doc r-. owai Page 56 ppany
