• September 6, 2005 Mr. Michael Grochala Community Development Director City of Lino Lakes 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 -1182 Dear Mr. Grochala: SEP 0 6 2005 RE: Lino Lakes, Minnesota Betty's Pies Site Plan Review SEH No. A- L1NOL0305.09 14.00 Identified below are our review comments for the proposed Betty's Pies site at Legacy at Woods Edge, prepared by Hartford Group. Plans for the proposed building were submitted to the City of Lino Lakes for review on August 15, 2005. Plaza Enlargement Layout Plan (Sheet C2.1) 1. A note on the plan indicates the fence posts on top of the retaining wall will be core drilled and grouted into place. It is instead recommended to attach the fence posts to the wall by utilizing mounting brackets. This would allow for easier maintenance and replacement if required in the future. 2. The ornamental fence detail is not clear or readable and appears to have pickets missing. Contact SEH for an AutoCad drawing of the fence for use in the final plans. 3. ADA requirements state that 4 accessible parking stalls and access aisles shall be provided for a lot with between 76 and 100 parking stalls, with at least one van accessible space served by a 96" wide minimum access aisle. Only one accessible parking stall is shown with no access aisle. The pedestrian curb ramp is located directly in front of the accessible parking stall where it will be blocked by the parked vehicle. This curb ramp should be relocated to the access aisle and accessible parking meeting all applicable ADA standards must be provided. Erosion Control and Grading Plan (Sheet C3.0) 1. The use of steps to access the building and plaza area from Town Center Parkway should be avoided if at all possible. It is recommended that, if feasible, a ramp meeting ADA standards be utilized. 2. The southerly parking lot entrance to Town Center Parkway needs to be regraded and raised slightly to match the proposed grades for the roadway improvements on Town Center Parkway. 3. Further detail of proposed grades and spot elevations in the plaza area should be given. It appears that the cross slope on the plaza varies from a high of 3.7% at the plaza gate to 2.57% at the easternmost entrance to the building. This exceeds the maximum cross slope of 2% as set forth in ADA accessibility requirements. 4. The walk directly outside of the main entrance has a slope of approximately 6.4% to the parking lot. The accessible route from the accessible parking stall to the main entrance will encounter cross slopes varying from approximately 3.5% to 6.4 %. These slopes exceed the maximum cross slope of 2% as set forth in ADA Accessibility Guidelines. •
