VI. CIVIL/SITE DESCRIPTION According to a survey prepared by Westwood Professional Services, Inc. dated 3/13/2000, the property covers 33.65 acres,is zoned "C"—commercial, and is not in a flood zone per City of Saint Anthony Village Planning Department. The majority of the site is impervious bituminous parking lot—approximately 20.5 acres. There are numerous concrete curbs and islands to control the flow ■ of traffic. Silver Lake Center covers 7.71 acres and is surrounded by concrete sidewalk on the west, south, and east sides. The Taco Bell building in the southeast corner of the property is 1,800 square ■ feet. Approximately 5.5 acres appears to be pervious. Block 1,Lot 5, the former Apache Plaza Building, has already been demolished, and the area is covered with wild grasses and weeds. Some portion of the storm water drainage is going to the storm water detention ponds at Outlets A and C. Some portion of the storm water drainage is going to the railroad property to the south via 2 - 15" culverts. The remainder of the storm water must drain into the city's storm sewer system. There appears to be six types of utility entering/ leaving the site— telephone, electric, gas,water, ■ sanitary sewer, storm sewer. 1. There is a sanitary sewer line running north on Apache Lane from the former Apache Plaza ■ Building. It was assumed to be plugged when the building was demolished. 2. There is an underground telephone line, gas line, and electrical line entering the site at 39`h Ave. NE and connect to the west side of the building. Each of these could each be capped/ abandoned at the property line. 3. There is a water main at the same location that should be capped at the property line. ■ However, to maintain the loop around Cub Foods,a new main would have to be installed along the west property line 300 feet north and then 200 feet east. 4. Completing the isolation of the water main around Cub Foods would require capping the main immediately south of an existing valve located near the northeast corner of Silver Lake Center. 5. Capping the water main where it enters the site on 38`h Ave. near the southeast corner of Silver Lake Center would complete the isolation of the building from the city. ■ 6. There is an underground electrical line and gas line near the northeast corner of Silver Lake Center that would need to be capped. ■ 7. It may be possible for a sanitary sewer line and storm sewer line running north along the east side of Silver Lake Center to remain in-place during demolition, but relocating them closer to the eastern property line would be a better long-term solution in terms of site flexibility. 8. The underground electrical line and gas line running from Silver Lake Road to the Taco Bell Building in the southeast corner of the site would need to be capped at the property line. 9. There is undoubtedly a sanitary sewer line and water main serving the Taco Bell Building, but the location of these utilities is not identified by the survey. . 10. The storm sewer line on the south side of Silver Lake Center would logically remain in-place until the final use of the site is known, and the new storm water management system is ■ designed and implemented. Quantities 1. There are 10 fire hydrants to be salvaged/ removed. 2. 15 water main gate valves. 3. 15 parking lot lights. 4. 2 gas meters (Silver Lake Center, Taco Bell Building). ■ 5. 1 electrical transformer (near Taco Bell Building). 6. 4 water main caps. 7. 3 gas main caps. ■ 17
