TKDA ENGINEERS • ARCHITECTS • PLANNERS MEMORANDUM 444 Cedar Street. Suite 1500 Saint Paul, MN 55101 -2140 (651) 292-4400 (651) 292 -0083 Fax www.tkda.com To: James E. Studenski, P.E. Reference: Main Street Village Copies To: Site Review City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota From: Thomas D. Prew, P.E. Proj. No.: 13810.011 Date: July 17, 2007 Routing: The following review is based on these submittals: 1. Main Street Village, Preliminary Plat, Site Plan, Utility Plan, Grading Plan, and Details, by Pioneer Engineering, submitted July 10, 2007. Significant issues with the project to be addressed prior to Preliminary Plat approval. 1. Some the assumptions for reduction of trips on page 6 of the report I do not agree with. The reductions seem too high. The report should be revised to show more realistic trip reduction assumptions. 2. The entrance north of the Bank will initially operate at a level of service B. It is unknown how long before Phase II would construct a new intersection south of the Bank; therefore, the level of service at the north intersection will gradually decrease over time. A limit to the length of time this north intersection can remain full access should be incorporated into the development agreement. 3. The future access road runs through the wetland. This impact needs to be minimized as much as possible. A mitigation plan is included in the submittal, and should be reviewed and approved before Phase I can proceed. The City may wish to require that the wetland filling and mitigation occur as part of the Phase I improvements, so that future rule changes do not affect the Developer's ability to construct this intersection. 4. Soil information is required for the future access road to Otter Lake Road. 5. See attached drainage review, dated July 17, 2007. Items to be addressed prior to final approval: 1. Regional ponding was done for some of the Phase I area. We will need to review the computations to insure that the drainage system is sized to handle this development. 2. Trunk sewer and watermain within the development will be public. Easements will be required over these utilities. There is a fire loop around the buildings and the hydrants appear to be spaced 110 appropriately. 3. A 15 foot wide trail easement is required on the west side of Otter Lake Road. The trail should be built as part of Phase I from the intersection at CSAH 14, to the south end of Phase II. An Employee Owned Company Promoting Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
