• • April 8, 2005 Paul Bengtson Associate Planner City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 -1182 Dear Mr. Bengtson: RE: Lino Lakes, Minnesota Fairview Lino Lakes Clinic Engineering Plan Review SEH No. A- LINOL0305.04 SPCV Identified below are our review comments for the proposed expansion of the Fairview Lino Lakes Clinic, prepared by Harris Architects. Plans for the proposed expansion were submitted to our office for review on April 4, 2005. Proposed Grading Plan 1. Note 14 states that all disturbed areas are to be seeded. The City will allow turf restoration by seeding, provided an irrigation system is installed. If an irrigation system is not planned, all disturbed areas must be restored with sod. 2. A temporary rock construction entrance must be shown at the proposed entrance on Village Drive. 3. Roof drain locations must be shown and called out on the grading plan. 4. Catch basins must be utilized to capture storm water runoff from the new parking lot rather than allowing the runoff to flow directly on to Village Drive. Correspondingly, details showing catch basins and catch basin manholes must be provided on the plans. 5. Proposed spot elevations at the building expansion corners must be shown. Proposed Landscape & New Site Plan 1. A 5 -foot wide sidewalk is shown on the north side of the proposed expansion, abutting the parking lot. Widening the sidewalk to 6 feet, thereby providing adequate pedestrian passage when parked vehicles overhang the sidewalk, should be considered. 2. A pedestrian curb ramp must be located in front of both proposed building entrances. 3. Proposed geometries of the parking lot drive aisle at the northwest corner of the building are problematic. Northbound vehicles turning westerly may result in them driving into the opposing lane of traffic. Westbound vehicles will likely have the same tendency. To improve sight lines and geometries, we recommend elimination of two parking stalls in this area: (1) the most northerly stall on the parking bay nearest to Lake Drive; and (2) the most westerly stall on the north side of the proposed building. Even with elimination of the two stalls, the applicant must demonstrate there is adequate space available to accommodate opposing vehicles. 4. Parking lot drive aisles must be at least 24 feet in width.
