PAGE 2 of 4 5. Dedicated utility easements are required over all public watermain as determined by the City Engineer and Public Works Director. Easements must be a minimum width of 30‐feet centered over all public watermain and each hydrant. Dedicated utility easements have been shown on the Final Plat. Revisions may be necessary as the Construction Plans are reviewed and finalized. 6. Drainage and utility easements are required over all stormwater BMPs, including the 100‐year high water level areas, maintenance access roadways to a public right‐of‐way, maintenance benches, and over all emergency overflow locations and pathways. Stormwater management easements are shown on the Final Plat, but must be revised to incorporate all required elements as listed above. Easement revisions are necessary such that the Final Plat easements are consistent with the easements shown on the site and grading plans. Additional revisions may be necessary as the Construction Plans are reviewed and finalized. 7. The storm water management facilities will remain privately owned and maintained. A Storm Water Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City’s standard form of agreement must be executed and recorded with the Final Plat for all privately owned stormwater facilities. 8. All off‐site permanent and temporary easements, if necessary to construct the proposed site improvements, must be acquired and provided to the City prior to the approval of the Final Construction Plans. Each easement, if needed, must be provided in the City’s standard form of easement agreement. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVMENTS, ACCESS AND COLLECTOR STREETS 1. Access Management. The proposed access locations along both Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10) must be approved by Washington County. 2. Turn Lane Improvements. As part of the site improvements, dedicated right and left turn lanes must be constructed along Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10) at both access locations. Turn lanes must be constructed meeting Washington County standards 3. Intersection Control Improvements. Traffic Control Improvements must be included as part of the site improvements for the opening of the school as recommended by Washington County. A traffic signal is required at the new access location along 10th Street North (CSAH 10), complete with crosswalks. A temporary wood‐pole traffic signal, or alternate traffic control improvement approved by Washington County, is required at the intersection of Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10), complete with crosswalks. 4. Emergency Service Access. Emergency vehicle access to and throughout the site must be reviewed and approved by the Lake Elmo Fire Department. 5. Bituminous Trails. The site improvements include the construction of a bituminous trail along the east and south sides of the site long Lake Elmo Avenue (CSAH 17) and 10th Street (CSAH 10). The grading plans should be revised to eliminate the drainage swale obstruction that will impede any future extension of the trail to the west along 10th Street (CSAH 10). Consideration should also be given to the provision of pedestrian connectivity internal to the school property and connection to the County Park Preserve. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT 1. The site plan is subject to a storm water management plan (SWMP) meeting State, Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) and City rules. Storm water facilities proposed as part of the site plan to meet State and VBWD permitting requirements must be constructed in accordance to City Engineering Design Standards dated January 2022, even though the facilities will remain privately owned. 2. The stormwater management mitigation must be provided for all required site improvements, including the County roadway and intersection improvements, County roadway turn lanes, and all bituminous trails. 3. In addition, it should be condition of the minor subdivision approval that the stormwater management BMPs be oversized to accommodate the future County roadway improvements to be constructed by the County at a future date. The stormwater BMP oversizing must address the additional proposed impervious surface areas as provided by Washington County. 4. All stormwater facilities and BMPs will be privately owned and maintained by the school district. The school district will be required to provide a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in accordance with the City’s standard form of agreement.
