MEMORANDUM Date: August 28, 1998 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Paul Palzer, Public Works Director/Building Official Re: Buechler Estates Preliminary Plat I have reviewed the proposed lot subdivision on Mound Trail and offer the following comments and suggestions. 1. The roadway in this area is currently broken asphalt with gravel which is susceptible to frost heaves in the winter. The city may want to look at reconstructing this roadway with some contributions from the developer and the City of Lino Lakes in conjunction with this project. 2. This area has the worst soils in Centerville according to the Anoka County soils map and I would recommend that the Commission require soil borings on each of the five proposed house pad sites to determine the appropriate correction work which will need to be completed to provide suitable building sites. 3. Lots 1 and 5 show that the proposed drainage will flow onto the adjoining lots. I realize this may save some of the natural features but with the drainage concerns in town, maybe some more thought could be put into this design. 4. The existing drainage on the eastern portion of the lot which flows into the lake needs to be in a drainage easement. A Rice Creek Watershed Permit is also required for this development. The plan shows that this existing drainage area at the eastern portion of the lot in the existing drainage swale is higher than the proposed culvert system at the roadway ditch. This will hold water in the ditch system. 5. The proposed drainage swale in the roadway ditch doesn't meet the City's requirement of a 1% minimum grade. 6. The proposed easement for the sanitary sewer is ten feet and the city requires twenty feet to match the existing easement to the east.
