No. 12976 -002 From Scott A. Brink, P.E. Routing: Date: April 8, 2004 A review for this proposed development was previously provided in a Memorandum dated February 26, 2004. The City of Lino Lakes has since received revised documents providing for Highland Meadows East 2nd Addition as follows: 1. Cover Letter from James R. Hill dated March 24, 2004. 2. Preliminary Plat Exhibits (8 sheets) dated March 22, 2004 ( full size and 1/2 size). 3. Proposed 1, 10, and 100 year drainage calculations dated March 24, 2004. The proposed Plans provide for the construction of Highland Meadows East 2nd Addition, located south of the intersection of 79th Avenue at Nancy Drive. The project essentially will include the extension of a private drive (cul -de -sac) extending south and westerly from the intersection into,the property and serving an area of 3.5 acres with 18 proposed residential dwelling units (revised from 20 units). This property was originally included within the bounds of a larger Highland Meadows East grading and drainage plan (encompassing 4.9 acres), reviewed and approved in 1999. This 2nd Addition portion was previously described as Outlot A (future multi - family) under the original approval. General Drainage and Drainage Calculation Comments 1. At the time of the initial approval, 4 new single family residential properties were constructed along the south side of 79th Avenue. A drainage pond was also constructed within the Outlot A area to serve the entire 4.9 acres of property, including Outlot A. This pond was originally designed to discharge to the adjacent property to the west (Highland Meadows). The original Highland Meadows site was designed to accept this drainage, and both plans (Highland Meadows and Highland Meadows East) were approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District. However, as a result of modifications to the original grading plan, a permit application to RCWD has been re- submitted. For example, the configuration and discharge of the pond have both changed. Rather than discharging into the wetland immediately to the west, it is proposed to construct a system of 2 ponds and a storm sewer to discharge to an existing 21 -inch RCP located at the southwest comer of the property. Discharge to the 21 -inch pipe is feasible. However, discharge to the wetland as previously approved may be preferred. Further comments and conditions of the RCWD shall be considered and adhered to as required. All requirements of the RCWD shall be adhered to, and copies of all correspondence with RCWD must be provided. An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
