Brink, P.E. Date: February 3, 2004 Comm. No. 12976 -002 Routing: The City of Lino Lakes has received revised documents providing for reconstruction of the existing VFW facility site located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lois Lane and Lake Drive. This proposed site reconstruction was previously addressed in memorandums dated November 11, 2003, January 8, 2004, and January 15, 2004. The following review is based on the previous memorandums, and the following: 1. Revised full -size and 11" x 17" size Preliminary Plan sets (Sheets A1.1, U1, G1, D1), dated January 20, 2004, and received by the City of Lino Lakes on January 21, 2004. S2. Copy of a memo from Michael J. Thomas of DSGW Twin Cities dated December 4, 2003 regarding Conditions of Approval. The proposed Plan provides for demolition of the existing building and construction of a new building with improved driveways and parking facilities. The area of the site is approximately 2.25 acres. Comments provided in the previous memorandums remain effective as applicable, and are therefore included as needed within this Memorandum. • General Comments: General comments are as follows: 1. The proposed 2.25 acre site development shall be subject to the requirements of NPDES (National Pollution Discharge Elimination System) as most recently adopted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the City of Lino Lakes. Because the site is less than 2.5 acres, a review and approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) will not be required. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must also be provided in accordance with MPCA requirements. The applicant has indicated that he is aware of this requirement and is in the process of preparing a submittal. 2. Because the property is adjacent to Lake Drive (County Road 23), the Plan will require the review and approval of Anoka County. The County provided review comments in a letter to the City dated September 22, 2003. Because the Site Plan has been revised since then, it is recommended that the County again review the proposed plans and provide comment. A summary of the County's comments from the September 22, 2003, letter are as follows: An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
