Floodplain <br />1. Much of the development appears to be in Zone AE (100-yr flood plain), on the Flood Insurance <br />Rate Map (FIRM). Our review of these documents assumes that all areas which are to be <br />developed or graded will comply with the city's Flood Plain Ordinances or will be removed from <br />the Flood Plain via Letters of Map Amendment or Revision (LOMA or LOMR). <br />Response: <br />All improved/developed areas will be graded to comply with City code and we will <br />coordinate map revisions/amendments for FEMA approval. <br />2. The driveway servicing the truck docks on the west side of the building appears to potentially <br />impact the "Floodway". If this is the case, it may need to be moved or modeling may be <br />necessary to certify a no -rise outcome from the impact. <br />Response: <br />It is our understanding that the currently mapped floodway does match existing <br />conditions. We will continue to coordinate this item with the City. <br />3. The Rice Creek Watershed District may also have floodplain regulations which must be followed. <br />These regulations may include compensatory floodplain storage. <br />Response: <br />Comment noted. We are working with the Rice Creek Watershed District to meet <br />compensatory floodplain storage requirements. <br />4. Proof of the Federal Emergency Management's approval of all LOMAs/LOMRs shall be required <br />prior to the full release of development securities. <br />Response: <br />Comment noted. <br />Stormwater/Wetlands/Erosion Control/Grading <br />1. Stormwater ponds on site will be owned and maintained by the property owner. However, the city <br />is obligated, under its NPDES MS4 Permit to ensure these BMPs are properly managed. We are <br />also required to have a written agreement for maintenance with the property owner. You will <br />need to work with our city attorney to draft such an agreement. <br />Response: <br />Comment noted. We will be required to have a maintenance declaration with the Rice <br />Creek Watershed District <br />2. The storm sewer outlet to the creek should be turned at an angle to be less disruptive to the flow <br />of the creek. Rather than the two flow paths meeting at a right angle, something at 45 degrees or <br />flatter would be more appropriate. <br />Ryan Companies US, Inc. <br />533 South Third Street, Suite 100 <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota 55415 <br />ph:612-492-4000 <br />ryancompanies.com <br />
