~ Rl\SBVIbbE Public Works Department/Engineering Memo To: Michael Cronin From: Debra Bloom, Assistant Public Works Director (651-490-2221) t)\A'B CC: Thomas Paschke, City Planner Date: 2/12/02 Re: Accessible Space Proposal- Roselawn Village We have reviewed the proposed plans for the development at Roselawn Avenue/Lexington Avenue and have the following concerns: . The Roselawn pathway is a regional trail that received federal funding, and as such is required to be 8' wide. ADA standards must be met on all pedestrian ramps. . The landscape plan should show how the NURP basin will be restored (i.e. seed and blanket, hydro seeding) to minimize erosion and improve the aesthetic appearance of this feature. . There is a sanitary sewer easement along the south and east boundary of the site. The manholes should be adjusted to final grade; and after grading, sufficient cover should be maintained on the pipe in the ponding area (minimum of 4 feet). On the landscape plan there appear to be a number of trees and shrubs proposed over the existing VCP sanitary sewer pipe. Because of the pipe's age and type of material we are very concerned that planting trees and shrubs on top of the pipe will create root problems, and eventually plug the pipe. For this reason we do not usually allow plantings within easements. . The pond appears to meet Roseville's requirements for stonn water retention. Capitol Region Watershed District would like to set up a meeting to discuss this site in more detail. Please contact me so we may set up a time. I look forward to working with you on this redevelopment. Additional comments may arise when revised plans are submitted. If you have any questions, please contact me. \\.. ..\Planning\Roselawn 'vlg-Cronin I\,lerno 020702.doc . Page 1
