PAGE 2 of 2 SITE PLAN APPROVAL  Prior to the start of any construction, Civil Site Construction Plans must be prepared and submitted for City review and approval. The plans must be prepared and signed by a registered professional engineer in the State of Minnesota and the plans must be prepared in accordance with the City Design Standards and Plan Format requirements.  An existing conditions plan is required to facilitate a detailed review by the City and site plan revisions may be required due to new information provided in the detailed plans. Existing conditions must include scaled full size plan sets (no greater than 1” = 50’ scale) and include all property, right‐of‐way and easement lines, a detailed topographic survey including contours at 2’ intervals or less, include all public and private utilities along the public rights‐of‐way and for a minimum distance of 150 feet from the construction limits, and include delineated wetlands and wetland buffers. Public and private utility information must include utility type, pipe material and size, inverts (when applicable) and location as surveyed in the field.  The site plan indicates that wetland locations are shown from GIS database information. A wetland delineation will be required and the Site Plans must be updated to include the delineated wetlands and required wetland buffers meeting the City and watershed requirements.  The 3‐new proposed Xcel Energy above ground power poles, to be installed to support the site interconnection, must be installed a minimum of 55 feet south of the centerline of 50th Street to locate the utilities within the designated utility corridor for the roadway right‐of‐way.  No waste water management or drinking water supply is required to support the proposed site development. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT  The Site Plan shows a potential stormwater infiltration basin intended to address stormwater management requirements and storm water calculations were submitted to support the basin sizing. However, the site is subject to a storm water management plan meeting State, Watershed District and City rules and a permit will be required from the Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD). The Stormwater Management Plan must therefore be revised and resubmitted, demonstrating compliance with City and VBWD rules, and must be prepared and signed by a registered professional engineer in the State of Minnesota.  The Stormwater Management Plan must provide a pre and post condition rate control analysis of the site, including pre and post condition drainage maps. The SWMP must demonstrate rate control is provided for all points of discharge from the site. Overland emergency overflows or outlets are required to be sown on the plans. The 100‐year high water flood level (HWL) must be shown on the plans for all water bodies (wetlands) and storm water facilities, and the 100‐year high water flood level (HWL) must be fully contained within private property or easements.  The construction of an infiltration basin is proposed for the site. Soil borings must be provided as part of the Site Plans to demonstrate that the facility will be constructed in soils that are conducive to infiltration practices and the infiltration rate for the design must be based on the soil investigation.  To the extent adjacent properties are impacted by storm water management discharges, written permission from those properties must be submitted as part of the development application.  The storm water facilities constructed for this site should remain privately owned and maintained. The applicant will be required to execute and record a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City’s standard form of agreement. Even as privately owned and maintain facilities, maintenance access roads meeting the City engineering design standards must be provided for access to all storm water facilities.
