Circle -Lex VFW Post 6583 City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Page 3 February 3, 2004 2. Right of way lines on the plans (for both Lake Drive and Lois Lane) have been identified on the plans per previous comments. The applicant must dedicate all additional right of way as required, and has indicated that a deed will be filed prior to applying for a building permit (Condition No. 2 of DSGW memo). 3. Proposed improvement features should be labeled accordingly, including concrete curb and gutter. The type of concrete curb and gutter and pavement section design is not specified on any of the Plan sheets, but is identified on Sheet D1 (B612). The pavement section is also shown on D1, and should be labeled as the parking lot pavement section. Radius dimensions for the driveway entrances are provided. However, it is recommended that a 20 -ft. radius be provided at all driveway entrances, including at Lois Lane, consistent with City standards. 4. In addition to additional right of way dedication required by the County along Lake Drive, a 10 -foot drainage and utility easement shall be dedicated by the applicant around the perimeter of the property. An exception shall be the northeast portion of the property where the easement must expand to include the pond and detention area. The applicant has agreed to provide said easements per Condition No. 6 of the DSGW memo. A variance will be required to meet set -back distance requirements for the parking area and building from the newly dedicated right -of -way limits. 5. The proposed ponding area is essentially squeezed or "shoe- horned" into a narrow space between the parking lot and the adjacent property. This does cause some concerns with regards to possible encroachment into neighboring properties, and an immediate drop behind the curbing of the parking lot. Typically, a bench of sufficient width around a pond is needed to provide for adequate maintenance and access. As mentioned in the previous memorandum, there are concerns regarding maintenance and snow removal. 6 -foot privacy (wood fence) has been provided on the plan to protect and prevent encroachment and/or grading into the neighboring properties. The fence must be placed on the Applicant's side of the property line in accordance with the requirements of the City of Lino Lakes. 6. An existing building and other structures must be removed to provide for the new construction. All existing fixtures shall be removed in accordance with the requirements of the City of Lino Lakes and the State of Minnesota, including foundations and any other underground fixtures that may exist such as storage tanks or other. In the event there are environmental issues such as contaminated soil and/or materials or other removal issues, the Applicant shall be responsible for complying with all environmental requirements of the City, County, and State as applicable. This also includes the abandoning and capping of wells and removal of septic systems as may be applicable. Grading Plan (Sheet GI): Comments with regards to the Grading Plan are as follows: 1. The building's main finished floor elevation has been provided as 909.8. The lowest building opening must be a minimum of 1 -foot higher than the emergency overflow elevation. Any basement floor elevations must be at least 4 -feet above the normal water elevation and 2 -feet above the design flood level. However, the applicant has indicated that there is no basement proposed for the building.
