• Eagle Brook Church Review Page 2 December 4, 2003 City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota Drainage and utility easements per City requirements are not shown on the plat. Required at a minimum are standard easement dedications of 10 -foot in width around the perimeter of the property and 5 -feet on each side of property lines. Drainage and utility easements must also be provided around all wetland areas and proposed drainage detention facilities. It is also recommended that a utility easement be provided to encompass the proposed sanitary sewer conveyance and treatment system. The November 3 memorandum provided comments regarding the proposed wastewater treatment system. The previous memo stated that the proposed system is a "performance" system and that further specific documentation would be required as a result. However, upon further review, the proposed system is not a performance system as defined by Minnesota Rules and the Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services Department, and we concur. Anoka County has also provided a review of the proposed system on behalf of the City. TKDA and the Anoka County Public Health Specialist have reviewed the proposed system, including the Design Report and Specifications, and have provided review comments to the City. The system proposed is acceptable and has been proven successfully in similar applications in Minnesota. In addition, the system as proposed exceeds design requirements. However, the following additional comments are noted as follows: 1. The sewer line from the building line to the septic tanks should be insulated to assure that freezing of the line will not occur. 2. An appropriate barrier must be constructed around the treatment area and drainfields for protection from off -road vehicles and snowmobiles. In addition, Final Plans and Specifications for the treatment system must be signed by a Registered Professional Engineer. Previous Comments and Adjustments to Previous Comments An Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) was prepared and received extensive review by the general public, the City of Lino Lakes, and other governing agencies. It should be noted that under the thresholds established under State of Minnesota rules, an EAW was not required for this project. However, the EAW provided the opportunity to more thoroughly provide comment and address specific issues in more detail. As a result of the EAW, many issues and resulting comments have already been addressed by the City and other agencies through the review process. It should be noted that site, grading, and utility plans submitted to date are considered adequate for preliminary review at this time, but are incomplete for actual construction purposes. Comments regarding construction related items required on the plans are mentioned further in this memorandum. It is expected that construction plans will ultimately be submitted as part of the approval process.
