Engineering Review Page 4 July 30, 2004 Fox Den Acres I. City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota 8. The outlet structures for Pond 4 and Pond 5 will require adjustment. The Pond 4 structure is not buildable based upon the elevations provided. For Pond 5, the cover over the outlet pipe is 2 inches. A 6 -inch minimum cover is required per City requirements. Streets and Trails 1. Access to this property is proposed from only one location, from Fox Road just east of its intersection with Deerwood Lane. This essentially results in a very large "cul -de -sac" or single point access for the entire Development. The extension of Fox Road through the property considers further extension to the north in the future. However, it is unknown at this time when and if such a second access into the site would happen. Traffic levels of service, safety, and impacts to existing streets and intersections shall be addressed to the City's satisfaction. Comments regarding the Traffic Study are provided further in this report. 2. The City's Comprehensive Plan provides for a regional trail linkage between Reshanau Lake Estates and Birch Park in this area. It is recommended that provisions for the trail link be investigated further as part of this Development. 3. The street layout as proposed on the Preliminary Plat appears to attempt to limit impacts to existing wetlands. However, some filling of wetlands is proposed, and mitigation will be required. As previously mentioned, the Plans shall be subject to the review and approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District in accordance with the Wetland Conservation Act. 4. Prior to any grading or construction, the street and trail plans shall be further detailed for construction purposes as required by the City of Lino Lakes. This would include typical street sections, pavement sections required, street widths, radii, type of curb, etc. As mentioned in comments under Utilities, a Detail Sheet that includes all applicable City standard plates and additional requirements of the City must be provided. 5. The cul -de -sac at the north end of the subdivision on Fox Road is not the full size per City engineering standard requirements(92' diameter). However, it is recognized that this cul -de -sac may be considered temporary, pending extension of Fox Road to the north at a later date. The cul -de -sac as proposed may therefore be considered acceptable. 6. At least some of the street horizontal curves do not meet the maximum 30 mph speed limit for residential streets. This is more of a concern where a street is a through street or carries higher volumes of traffic. It is recommended that streets be signed (curves, advisory speed, etc.) as may be needed, consistent with City of Lino Lakes practices. 7. At some locations, the 0.5% minimum street grade does not appear to be attained. Utility Plan 1. It is proposed to connect sanitary sewer to an existing 10 -inch sanitary sewer stub that extends easterly from the intersection of Fox Road and Deerwood Drive. As stated on the plan, it is recommended that the location and elevation of the stub be field verified. The rim elevation for MH 18 appears to be incorrect.
