• • Driveway Location and Access The plat map provided does not indicate the proposed location of the driveways for Lots 1, 2, or 3. The proposed properties would have ingress /egress onto 62nd Street. Location of the driveways must be determined to ensure adequacy of site and time for safe entrance onto 62nd Street. Wetland Relocation and Drainage Easements The creation of the proposed lots will cause disturbance of a large wetland located on the property. The applicant applied for a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). The applicant proposed filling approximately 9,771 square feet of wetland, and replacing it with a new wetland created in the rear of Lot 3. In a letter from the RCWD, dated March 22, 2004, the RCWD recommended that the permit be denied on the grounds of Minnesota Rules Chapter 8420.0548 Subp 3 C5. In a conversation on May 6, 2004, with Mr. Karl Hammers from the RCWD, he rescinded his initial recommendation, and stated that he would approve the request to fill the wetland if the applicant applied to the RCWD to qualify for sequencing flexibility under WACA. Mr. Hammers stated that upon visiting the site, he determined the wetland was not high quality, and as such, relocating the wetland would be reasonable. On May 26, 2004, the RCWD approved the wetland replacement plan that was noticed on February 27, 2004 . The applicant has applied for a sequencing permit (03 -090) which is pending. ENGINEERING RECOMMENDATIONS: 1) The Developer is to be aware that the City of Lino Lakes is currently reconstructing 62nd Street. Prior to final approval of the Site Plans, the Grading Plan must show the changes that the street project will cause to each of the proposed three lots. 2) Prior to final City approval of the Site and Grading Plans, the Plans need to show that Lino Lakes City Engineering Standards are being followed. That is, a detail Site and Grading Plan will need to be submitted before final approval is given. 3) Approval of the preliminary plat will be contingent upon the review and consequent approval of the City Engineer. Drainage and utility easements along property lines will be required. Easements over designated wetlands will also be required. 4) Copies to the City of the Rice Creek Watershed District permit approval process. 5) The homes to be constructed must follow City of Lino Lakes design flood elevations. For this location, the design 100 -year flood elevation to be used is 894.2. The emergency over flow elevation to be used is 895.3. Thus, City requirements are as follows: low floor/basement elevation must be two (2) feet above the 100 -year flood elevation, low floor/basement must be one (1) foot above the emergency overflow elevation and the low floor/basement elevation must be four (4) feet above the groundwater or normal ponding elevation.
