Ms. Katie Larsen 01 /04/2023 Page 2 The Phelps Road Stockpile project will require site grading for the proposed fill soil stockpiles. The northwest stockpile is proposed to have 4:1 side slopes, have a height of 15-ft, have a footprint of approximately 1.96 acres, and be approximately 30,000 CY in volume. The northeast stockpile is proposed to have 4:1 side slopes, have a height of 14- ft, a footprint of approximately 1.11 acres, and be approximately 14,000 CY in volume. The southern stockpile is proposed to have 4:1 side slopes, have a height of 14-ft, a footprint of approximately 1.74 acres, and be approximately 27,000 CY in volume. The proposed project is within the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The applicant is proposing to use silt fence to surround the stock pile areas and to protect wetlands and floodplain on the site. No significant changes to existing drainage patterns are proposed. Comments: 1. Applicant to update plans to address any comments provided by the City's Environmental Coordinator regarding erosion control. 2. Applicant to verify if existing topsoil onsite is being removed prior to stockpiling. 3. No work is allowed until a Rice Creek Watershed District permit has been obtained. • Water Supply There is currently an existing 8-inch diameter ductile iron pipe (DIP) water main along Phelps Road that terminates at the east edge of the site. The applicant is not proposing any connections to the municipal water system with this plan. Staff does not have any comments at this time. • Sanitary Sewer There is currently an existing polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer main along Phelps Road that terminates at the east edge of the site. The applicant is not proposing any connections to the municipal sanitary sewer system with this plan. Comments: Applicant to provide sanitation facilities on site for employees while stockpile operations are underway. • Transportation The site is located at the intersection Phelps Road and the Otter Lake Service Road. Phelps Road and the Otter Lake Service Road are local streets. Phelps Road is within a Public Street and Utility Easement that is 60-ft in width. The Otter Lake Service Road is within the MN DOT right-of-way in a road easement. Phelps Road was constructed to city standards from Otter Lake Road to the eastern property line of the site. Phelps Road is a 9-ton design, but during spring road restrictions, a 5-ton limit applies. The design of the Otter Lake Service Road is unknown and should be restricted to 5-ton weight due to current conditions of the road.
