Ms. Katie Larsen <br />August 2, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br />9. Sheet Cl — "Basin 1 Overflow" should read "Basin 1 EOF" to be consistent with the <br />plans and modeling results. <br />STORMWATER MANAGEMENT <br />1. The City will not approve stormwater management facilities located in the front yard: <br />please relocate to the rear yards. Additional rate control could be obtained by <br />constructing a third basin in the rear yards or by expanding the capacity of Basin 1 and/or <br />2. <br />2. Emergency overflows for Basins 1 and 2 discharge directly off site. The proposed <br />project must not adversely affect off-site water levels, resources or private property, nor <br />increase the potential for off-site flooding. The EOFs for Basins 1 and 2 must be <br />redirected toward the project site or the frontage road. <br />3. Verify building freeboard requirements are being met: <br />• Low floor must be a minimum of 2 feet above the 100 -year high water elevation <br />and 4 feet above the highest known groundwater elevation. <br />• Low entry/opening must be a minimum of 1 foot higher than the EOF. <br />4. Lots 1 and 2 have inconsistent floor elevations compared to Sheet Cl — please verify. <br />5. A vegetated 10 -ft bench with a 10H:1 V slope should be incorporated into all ponds at the <br />transition area between the NWL and HWL. <br />6. Please indicate maintenance access points for all ponds on the plans. <br />7. Please provide the 100 -year 10 -day model runoff results. <br />8. Verify drainage area boundaries — White Pine Road has curb and gutter and should not be <br />entering onto the project site. <br />9. The MPCA recommends a dead -storage depth of at least 4 -feet for NURP ponds: Basin 1 <br />has a depth of 0.4 -ft and Basin 2 has a depth of 2 -ft, these ponds may not provide <br />adequate pollutant removals and should be verified with a water quality model or <br />designed to NURP standards. <br />10. Wet basins do not provide infiltration credit per RCWD rules and given the high <br />groundwater elevations present at the site, it is unlikely that infiltration rates of 0.45 <br />inches per hour on the basin benches would ever be achieved. Please include a <br />discussion in the narrative how these rates will be achieved and maintained. <br />11. Subcatchment 4 experiences large rate increases to the southwest for all storm events. <br />Please discuss the comment made in the Stormwater Drainage Report "no adverse <br />impacts anticipated" for proposed Subcatchment 4. <br />K:\02988-280Wdmin\Does\Plan Review - Preliminary Plat <br />
