Fox Ridge in Section 3. The plans propose to place approximately 3300 cubic yards of fill along an existing slope cost of the home. We have the following comments with regards to engineering matters: • The proposed improvrmcnLs include placing approximately 12-rcct of fill over an existing utility casenKnt. The purpose of the easement should be idcntiried and a determination made as to w hether the fill will impact the u«e of the easement. • A letter from the property owner indicates that a "douhie** sill fence will be installed to protect the existing wYtland. The plans should show two rows of heavy-duty sill fence installed west of the 26-foot wetland setback. All sill fence should be installed prior to any clearing, filling or grading activity. • The amount of fill proposed to be hauled to the site will generate a substantial amount of heavy truck traffic. The truck traffic has the potential to damage Fox Ridge Road, an existing City street that serves the neighborhood. We recommend that the City require some type of financial guarantee from the applicant to be usc*d to ciurect any street damage caused by the contractors activities. The contractor should also provide appropriate traffic control and signing to alert and protect motorisu and pedestrians in and near the iKighborhood. • The City recently completed sanitary sewer improvements to serve the area. A flushing station connection was installed near the northwest comer of the Stephenson property. Some type of fencing or barrier should be constructed around the flushing connection prior to construction to protect agairut damage. • The existing slope where the fill is to be placed is heavily vegetated. The applicant should provide the City with a tree removal and replacement plan as part of the application. B The site lies within the Minnehaha Creek Watershed Disuict (MCW'D). The proposed improvements could potentially impact the existing wetland located along the east edge of the property. Plans should be subnutted to the MCWD for their review and approval. • All slopes should be restored with a minimum of 4-inches of topsoil and seeded or restored with some type «>i erosion control measure (wood fiber blanket, etc.) immediately aher the placement of topsoil to minimize erosion potential. If you have any questions please call me at (6SI) 604-41163. Yours very truly. BONESTROO. ROSENE, ANDERUK & ASSCXTIATES. INC. Tom Kellogg' Attachments Cc: Greg Gappa.
