Sketch and description for proposed drainage and utility vacation for 2235 Arthur Court, Lino Lakes, MN 55038 prepared by E.G. Rud & Sons, Inc. dated July 15, 2013 Proposed Drainage & Utility Easement Vacation Comments: 1. Only the centerline of the proposed driveway is identified on the sketch. The width and location of the entire driveway needs to be added to the sketch to allow for a more complete review of the impact the driveway will have on the natural drainage patterns for the area. 2. The general direction for the drainage on this property and on the adjacent properties is from northwest to southeast. It is therefore recommended that the amount of drainage and utility easement that is proposed to be vacated be limited to only what is needed for the garage, driveway, and a small buffer around the improvements. The remainder of the easement should be left in place to accommodate the existing drainage in the area on either side of the proposed garage. 3. A culvert will likely be needed under the proposed driveway and needs to be included on the sketch. The location of the culvert will impact where additional drainage and utility easement will need to be maintained. In conclusion, the information requested above needs to be provided and reviewed prior to approving any vacation of the existing drainage and utility easement. If you have any questions related to these comments or would like additional information, please let me know. St. Cloud • Minneapolis • St. Paul Equal Opportunity Employer wsbeng.com
