Planning Commission Regular Meeting Minutes February 26, 2018 Page 10 1. Include all applicable standard detail plates from the most recent edition (2018) of the City of 1 St. Anthony’s General Specifications and Standard Detail Plates for Street and Utility 2 Construction for project construction. 3 4 Mr. Joey Abramson, WSB, submitted a report on the storm water management review. The 5 review has found that the project complies with applicable freeboard and rate control storm water 6 management regulations. The applicant needs to provide updated information related to water 7 quality treatment. The following comments on the storm water management plan were provided: 8 - Ponds should be labeled on the plans to correspond to the IDs in the report and models: 9 North Pond should include “1P” and South Pond should include “2P”. 10 - The EOF for Pond 2P (south) is noted to be “18.90” on the plans, but is noted as 919.0 in the 11 storm water management report. 12 - The report notes that the proposed development will achieve 65% TP loading reduction but 13 the table indicates that 72% removals will be achieved. Revise for consistency. 14 - It should be considered that unless the BayFilter is capable of removing dissolved 15 phosphorus from storm water, its efficacy will likely be reduced from 50% removal if it is 16 downstream of the sedimentation ponds. This is because those ponds already remove a large 17 portion of the particulate phosphorus. Applicant must provide clarification on the BayFilter 18 removal abilities or provide updated calculations for removals. 19 20 Ms. Rothstein reviewed next steps in the process. 21 22 Mr. Link Wilson, Architect, introduced the large team of people present at the meeting. They 23 have done a number of projects near St. Anthony and want this to be a great project. Mr. Wilson 24 provided an outline of the presentation. They are requesting a Planned Unit Development 25 (PUD). They feel this will benefit the community as dramatic improvements have been made 26 since October 2017. Drawing of the building showing the height were shown. He stated there are 27 environmental issues on the site and the October 2017 plan was flawed. They wanted to create a 28 boulevard that went through the site keeping as many trees as they could. Three neighborhood 29 meetings were held, many comments were heard at those meetings, and as many as possible 30 were incorporated into the project plan. 31 32 Mr. Jared Ward, Wenck, Civil Engineer for the project, reviewed the map of the area and 33 addressed parking. He stated storm water is one of the challenges of the site. Mr. Ward reviewed 34 the site access and will continue to work with the Minneapolis Park Board and Hennepin County 35 on the access. The buildings are R1 and he reviewed the safety measures as far as fire, noting the 36 traffic report was updated and some recommendations were made. He indicated that storm water 37 is being addressed by ponds. A drawing of the utilities was presented. Trails around the site 38 would make the project inviting and there would be spots for activities. Mr. Ward stated there are 39 no longer any connections through the alley and much grading will need to be done on the 40 property. Mr. Ward reviewed the landscaping plan, which include adding trees, overstory, 41 shrubs, and perennials. 42 43 Mr. Ken Haberman, Landmark Environmental, stated there have been a number of 44 environmental investigations conducted at this property over the past five years.
