Keehn DA'TE: February 27, 1997 RE: 1�evier�v o� Spo�s Q��i�k L.ube-�asP 472-97 'I'he site was previotasly a gas staSior�. The environment�l. concem is whether ar not the tanks were properly removed. Although the City is not buyzng the progerty, they may wani tv assurance that no contaminates will show up ixr any private wells in the future. "I°he drainage w�ll flow to MnDOT right-af-way so the applicant will need a Mn]70T pernut to work in their right-of-way. Rice Creek Watershed DistricC shoiald alsa be no�fied to verify that they do not have any concems on this project. The Maunds View Hfydrologic Review data sheet is attached for your records. Runoff calculations were not ir�cluded as part of the submittal. Since the Iand use is not changing a. >'' irnpervious surfaces are not being increased, deCailed calcttlations are rcot required. However, a�ading plan that shows the existing drainage and one with the proposed draiztage plans should be provided for reference. Since the storm sewer system will rep�ace the existing dra�inage system which currently flows directly tio the MnDOT di.tch, there are small drainage changes which should be noted by the applicant. The proposed entrance wiU need a more detailed review in regards to traffic. I showed the site plan to our trafftc engineer and he indicated a concem an the tocation of the entrance to the site. If cars are stacked to get into the site, it could cause a problezn to vehicles tucning anto Spring Lake Road from Highway IQ. A better atternative �ay be to make the north entrance a one-way in and the south entrance a�one-way out. Before the site is presented to Council, the applicane should lzave a traffic e�gi�eer provide input an the location of the drives. If the city desires, we are availahle to do a rnore detailed review of the site to deterriune actual site distances and entrance Ia�caiions. Fees for a more complete review af the site will need reimbursad. - The last consideration is the actual connection of the drives io �pring Lak� Raad. Sprin� Lake Road is scheduled to be reconstructed in I998. If the drives are incorrectiy insCalled, they would need to be reconstructed as part of the roadway improvement project. A 1zt�file foresight shovid prevent this. Also, the road will be reconstruc�ed ta State Aid standards which may put a restricrion on the iocation of their driveways. Prior to approval, the applicant should check with State Aid standards to verify that the locatian of the drives will not i�e in violation of future requirements.
