Subject:Re: Rockpoint Church Parking Lot Expansion Plans
Emily,
I have reviewed the Rock Point Church Parking Lot Plans and have the following comments for your
consideration:
1. The plans must be signed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the state of Minnesota. No PE signature
block was found on the plans. The plans should be resubmitted with signature.
2. Certificate of Survey: The survey must be revised to show the city watermain utility easements.
3. Existing Conditions Plan: The existing conditions plan must be revised to facilitate a complete review.
o The site utilities (watermain and storm sewer) do not appear to be accurately shown as compared
to the record drawings (see attached).
o All easements must be shown on the plans including the city watermain utility easements.
o Existing drainage conditions must extend further to the north to depict the existing drainage
discharge conditions (extend minimum 150 feet from property).
4. Erosion Control Plans: Erosion control information needs to be removed from the existing conditions
plan and placed on the grading plans.
5. Site Plan. The plan indicates more than 6,000 SF of new impervious surface is being added. The
applicant must obtain a VBWD permit for the project. The city should be provided a copy of any
approved permit.
6. Stormwater Management:
o The applicant must execute a Stormwater Maintenance and Easement Agreement in the City's
standard agreement form for the privately owned storm water facilities.
o Pre-treatment should be incorporated into the plans prior to runoff reaching the infiltration basin.
7. Grading Plan:
o Erosion control information must be shown on the grading plans.
o High water level (HWL) elevation for the proposed infiltration basin must be shown on the
plans. All emergency overflow points must be shown in BOLD and labeled as EOF.
o The HWL must be shown to be fully contained on the Rock Point Church property.
o Minimum storm sewer pipe size is 15-inch. The stormwater model should be updated along with
the plans.
8. Landscape Plans: I did not review the landscape plans, Sheets L1 and L2.
9. No review was completed in regards to parking requirements, either total stalls or handicap stall
compliance.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require any further review. Thanks ~Jack

Jack,
Rockpoint Church has submitted an application for a CUP amendment for a parking lot expansion. I have put
the large plans of the attached along with a hard copy of the storm water management plan in your inbox. Can
you please review when you’re able?
