PAGE 1 of 3 MEMORANDUM Date: August 26, 2024 To: Nathan Fuerst, Planning Consultant Re: Oak‐Land School CUP/Minor Subdivision Cc: Jason Stopa, Community Development Director PID 36‐029‐21‐11‐0002 Sophia Jensen, City PLanner PID 36‐029‐21‐11‐0003 Marty Powers, Public Works Director Chad Isakson, PE, Assistant City Engineer From: Jack Griffin, PE, City Engineer Engineering has reviewed the ISD 834 Oak‐Land Middle School CUP and Minor Subdivision site plans received on August 16, 2024. The review consisted of the following documentation:  Application Narrative dated August 2, 2024.  Oak‐Land Middle School Addition Civil Site Plans, Sheets C000 and C703, dated August 2, 2024. PRELIMINARY AND FINAL PLAT 1. County Roadway Right‐of‐way Dedication. As part of the Minor Subdivision, right‐of‐way dedication must be provided along Manning Avenue (CSAH 15) and 10th Street (CSAH 10) in accordance with the Washington County Transportation Plan and as approved by both the City and the County. The Preliminary and Final Plat documents submitted as part of the application lack sufficient detail to allow for City review and approval. Revised Preliminary and Final Plats are needed to detail the right‐of‐way dedication requirements and to depict how those requirements are being met. 2. The extension of public watermain is proposed as part of the School Addition CUP/Minor Subdivision. Easements must be provided, minimum 30‐foot‐wide centered over all public watermain/hydrant(s) when not located within the public right‐of‐way. Easements must be free from all encroachments, including retaining walls, trees, fences, small/dry utilities, or storm water management BMPs. Easements have been shown on the Preliminary and Final Plats, however, extensive revisions will be required once the final utility layout is approved by the City. 3. The Preliminary Plat scale must be corrected to facility additional review. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS AND ACCESS 1. Access Management. The CUP/Minor Subdivision approval should be contingent upon the District agreeing to allow the southern secondary school access to Manning Avenue to be relocated further south when the future neighborhood collector roadway is needed to serve this future development area. 2. Plan Sheet AP 5 should be revised to remove the Future Development Access proof of concept. The exhibit shows that the future development access does not work as intended to serve as a neighborhood collector roadway for the future development area. The southern school access to Manning Avenue will be required to be relocated further south of the existing signalized intersection and the school will be required to reconnect to the new access location at is sole cost. 3. The City supports the County’s request for the District to make internal site and operational improvements as necessary to mitigate the peak traffic cueing onto Manning Avenue (CSAH 15) by parent drop‐offs and pickups.
