111-1-41ING 4ISSOCIATti Memo TO: Honorable Chair and Planning Commission Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: May 7, 2015 RE: Little Canada Senior Assisted Living T110111011T11 The applicant has resubmitted plans for review for the above referenced site. We have reviewed the submittal package for the proposed improvements; which included an Existing Conditions and Demo plan, Layout plan, Grading, Drainage, & Erosion Control sheets, and Utility plans. Based upon our review we would offer the following comments. Layout Plan 1. The applicant will be required to obtain a permit from Ramsey County for the two driveways, which will access Rice Street as this is a County Road. Grading & Drainage Plan 1. Retaining walls proposed on the project reach heights of 15 -feet. Any wall over 4 -feet in height must be designed by an Engineer and a copy of signed engineering plans submitted to the City. 2. The location of the existing wood chip trail should be shown to ensure the proposed trail will match the existing trail, 3. The handicapped ramp detail shown in the plan will not work with the sidewalk currently shown on the plan. The detail should be revised or the 4 foot by 4 foot landing on the backside of the ramp be provided. 4. The emergency overflows (EOF's) for the low points in the parking lot and drive aisles must be marked. It appears that some of the locations will be over the proposed retaining walls and this fact should be taken into account during design of the walls. We would recommend that the toe of the walls be protected by some means from erosion at the base of the wall if an overflow occurs. 1 of 3 Memo -050715 -PC (Assisted Living).doc 10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780-0450 Fax (763) 780-0452 You created this PDF from an application that is not licensed to print to novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
