MN 55323 Re: Willow View Subdivision File No. 139GEN-2522 Dear Paul: We have reviewed the preliminary grading and utility plan for the proposed 49 lot Willow View subdivision. The site is located west of Willow Drive and south of County Road 6 in the southeast quarter of Section 28. We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters. 1. Sanitary Sewer: The preliminary sanitary sewer design appears acceptable. It should be noted that the proposed temporary bypass lift station along T.H. 12 needs to be in place before sewer service can be provided to the Willow View site. Final plans should include plan and profile views of the proposed sewer, sewer service locations and sanitary sewer details. Sanitary services should be located 3-feet downstream from water services. All sanitary and storm sewer manholes are required to have an exterior sealing sleeve as manufactured by Infi-Shield or an approved equal. Any connections to existing manholes shall be core drilled and a rubber boot installed. 2. Water Main: The proposed water main shown between Lots 12 and 13, Block J should be extended westerly and tied into the 12 inch water main installed as part of the new Orono Middle School project. The water main alignment should coincide with the utility easement on the school property located just south of the soccer fields. V/e also recommend extending the 8-inch water main northeily to the intersection of Willow Drive and County Road 6. This will allow for a future connection to the City of Medina’s water system. Final plans should include plan and profile views of the proposed water main, water main details and service locations. All water main shall be poly wrapped. 3. Grading: We recommend that the lowest basement elevadons be at least 2-feet higher than the high water level (HWT) of the closest pond. Proposed basement elevadons on some lots on Blocks 1.2 and 3 do not provide this 2-feet of freeboard. We would recommend revising the grading plan or basement elevations to allow a minimum of 2-feet of freeboard. It appears that ponds located in Outlet C will flood the property to the south when they reach their HWL. We recommend revising the proposed grading plan so that ponded water is contained to at least 0.5-feet above the HWX. Block 5 appears to have a low, landlocked area behind the homes. This will result in drainage problems and addidonal storm sewer may be necessary. An erosion control plan should be submitted for review. 4. Storm Sewer: The draft version of the City’s Surface Water Management Plan (SWMP) shows that this site lies w ithin the Long Lake drainage district. The proposed grading plan shows ponding throughout the site. It is unclear how all of the ponds are supposed to function. None of the ponds has an outlet shown. The pond in the northwest comer of the site has no inlet or outlet shown. The pipe shown betw een Lots 6 and 7. Block 3 outlets to a wetland. All storm sewer should outlet to a ponding area. All ponds should meet NURP standards. Ponds should have a 10:1 aquatic bench at the pond's normal water H 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul. MN 55113 ■ 651*636-4600 • Fax: 651*636*1311
