MAYOR Michael 1. Fahey COUNCIL Beverly Scalze Jim LaValle Steve Morelan Bob Pedersen 515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117-1600 ADMINISTRATOR (651) 484 -2177 / FAX: (651) 484 -4538 Joel R. Hanson Email: cityhall @ci little - canada.mn.us MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Greg Schroeder, Public Works Director DATE: October 19, 2000 RE: Joe Peters Filling and Grading Permit Mr. Joe Peters at 3020 Centerville Road is requesting a filling and grading permit to enable him to provide the required fill for the footings of this building and enable the property to drain properly (see attached sketch). Mr. Peters drawings indicate that he is proposing to install a 12" PVC Storm Sewer along the east side of his property. This will allow him to place the required fill on his buildings footings and also enable the adjoining property to the south to drain. His drawings also show that he is extending the two 30" PVC pipes from the Pitrina Park Terrace detention pond through his property. This will greatly improve the flow characteristics of the water from the detention pond by aligning these culverts with the existing ditch. Further, this will allow him to place the required fill on the footings of his building. As part of the 30" PVC pipe installation Mr. Peters is installing 2" thick sheets of rigid installation under the 30" PVC pipe where they cross over our water main. This installation will provide much needed freezing protection for our water main. Based on the above work and my discussions with Mr. Peters, it was concluded that the total fill needed to accomplish the above work is estimated to be approximately 195 cubic yards. Further, that approximately 100 cubic yards of this 195 cubic yards will be needed to extend the 30" PVC culverts over our water main. As indicated above the installation of the insulation and fill material will greatly reduce the freezing potential of the cities water main at this location. When Pitrina Park was developed and the detention pond was constructed the outlet for the detention pond resulted in a ditch being constructed over our water line. This ditch reduced the earth cover over our water line to about 3 feet, greatly increasing the freezing potential of this water main. Based on my review of Mr. Peters drawings and a site inspection, it can be concluded that this project will improve the drainage patterns in this area. It can also be concluded that Mr. Peters project will provide freezing protection for our city water main. Therefore, I recommend Council approval of Mr. Peters greatly needed filling and grading permit and based on the benefit to the city from his project, recommend we waive all filling and grading permit fees and authorizing him to proceed with his project subject to obtaining all other permits and approval. \ \CLCSRVO I \HOM E'Jessicai\Agenda \October 20\JoePeters tilling and Page 45
