manhole and a 15" storm pipe which flows east to Snelling Avenue. Silt fences will be used during construction to reduce erosion. A construction rock entry will be used along the Snelling frontage in order to reduce mud tracking and erosion from the entry. 2.5) Trash is proposed to be stored in an enclosed area at the northwest corner of the site, using the same materials as the building to a height of 7.4 feet. The HVAC and antennae locations are not found on the plans submitted. 2.6) City sanitary sewer will serve the site from the southwest, across the Knights of Columbus parking lot to Oakcrest.
