Date: August 8, 2003 1500 Piper Jaffrey Plaza 444 Cedar Street Saint Paul, MN 55101 -2140 (651) 292 -4400 (651) 292-0083 Fax www.tkda.com Reference: Engineering Review Sportatorium Commercial Development Site 12701 -002 Comm. No. Routing: The subject property is located along the west side of Interstate 35E, north of Cedar Street, between Cedar Street and County Ditch No. 47 (Clearwater Creek) on a 40.58 acre parcel. The parcel is generally open and undeveloped, level, and sloping north toward Clearwater Creek. There are areas of wetland and an NSP (Xcel) easement crossing over the southeast comer of the property. It is proposed to construct an enclosed sports facility on the southeast portion of this property. The facility would include a 350 -foot diameter dome containing three hockey rinks, and an adjacent and attached permanent building that would include a restaurant and pro -shop. A small segment of wetland will be impacted and require mitigation. This review is based upon the following information received: 1. Site, Grading, and Utility Plan Sheet S -1.1 dated July 22, 2003, prepared by Design Resource Group 2. Construction Plans for Cedar Street West - 21st Avenue North - Utility and Street Improvements dated July 23, 2003, prepared by Metro Land Surveying and Engineering (Plan Sheets Cl, U 1 through U6, D1, X1 through X7). 3. Drainage Calculations packet (various documents) including HydroCAD (Existing, 2 -year and 100 - year), Cover Sheet, Rational Method and Site Plans (3 Sheets) with all of them dated as received on July 16, 2003, at City Hall. 4. Previous Lino Lakes Engineering Review dated June 25, 2003, by Scott Brink, P.E., TKDA, for the City of Lino Lakes. General 1. Site soil logs provided suggest that the underlying soils are generally silty sands and sandy clays. The construction of the proposed sports facility, parking areas, and utilities shall comply with the recommendations provided by the geotechnical engineer. 2. Two adjacent and parallel NSP easements (a combined total width of 116 feet) cross over the southeast corner of the property. It would appear from the drawings that improvements within the easement area would consist primarily of parking area. However, it is not clear from the drawings if building units are intended to extend into the easement. It is recommended that the Developer address An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
