~I~RIHG ~ ~ASSOQ~AT~S Taua noalu September 7, 2006 File: 120079E-0240 Honorable Chair and Planning Commission City of Little Canada 515 Little Canada Road East Little Canada, MN 55117-1633 RE: CANADIAN WOODS CITY OF LITTLE CANADA Dear Planning Commission Members: As requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed Canadian Woods development located east of Labore Road across from Windrow Drive. The submittal documents were prepared by Plowe Engineering, Inc. and are dated August 24, 2006. Based upon our review we would offer the following comments. Preliminary Plat 1. An existing garage in lot 1 is shown to remain in place. A variance will be required for this garage because as shown it will be approximately 12-feet from the edge of the proposed right-of-way, which does not meet the required 30-foot setback. 2. It appears as if the overflow of the infiltration basin is not covered by a drainage and utility easement. The high water level of the proposed pond should be shown on the plat in order to properly determine the location of the easement. 3. All swales along the front, side, and rear lot lines should be contained within drainage and utility easements. Drainage within lots should be directed to the swales. Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan 1. Please provide a copy of a pavement design based on a street design life of 20 years. 2. The site is over 1-acre, which will require Ramsey Washington Watershed approval of the grading and erosion control plan and permit. 3. The length of the proposed cul-de-sac is 500-feet in length to the center of - - the cul-de-sac, but is 539-feet long including the turn around area. The 539- feet is longer than the standard maximum of 500-feet. Ltr-090706-planning commission 10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449 -Phone: (763) 780-0450 -Fax: (763) 780-0452
