Streets and Access The site has access from 140th Street (CSAH 8). The access location will require an access permit to be issued by Washington County. Washington County provided comments in a letter dated June 18, 2020. They noted that some improvements to the road, such as an eastbound center lane and westbound right turn lane, will be required. This will need to be designed by the applicant and submitted to the County for review and approval. All other items in the letter shall be considered. Utilities The proposed building will be served by a septic system and individual well for the site. The well is designed to accommodate building interior sprinkler (fire suppression) needs. The well will accommodate future uses as well, such as for irrigation for ball fields and other potential park facilities. The septic design will need to be shown on the plans, as well as the backup system area. Stormwater Management The site is proposing to provide stormwater management with an infiltration basin at the south end and a biofiltration basin at the north end. Additional information is required to confirm requirements are met however it appears the proposed stormwater management features are adequately sized to meet rate control and water quality requirements based on the information submitted.
