Gaffron <br />Senior Planning Coordinator <br />City of Orono <br />Post Office Box 66 <br />Crystal Bay, MN 55323 <br />Re: VanMoorlehem Subdivision <br />File No. 139-2355 <br />Dear Mike: <br />We have reviewed the preliminary plat for the proposed four lot VanMoorlehem subdivision. The <br />site is located at 4490 Watertown Road near the intersection of County Road 6, McCulley Road and <br />Watertown Road in Section 31. We have the following comments in regards to engineering matters. <br />1. Access: The existing intersection of County Road 6 / Watertown Road and McCulley Road / 6*^ <br />Avenue is controlled by stop signs in the easterly direction of County Road 6 and in the westerly <br />direction of V/aiertowr, Road. McCulley Road / 6*^ Avenue is a through street with a high point <br />located approx iinately 150 feet southwest of this intersection. The configuration and control of the <br />intersection may change based on this summer ’s proposed intersection improvements by Hennepin <br />County. Lot 1 , Block 2 fronts both McCulley Road and County Road 6. Lots 1 and 2, Block 3 abut <br />McCulley Road, Watertown Road and Tumham Road. Steep slopes exist on McCulley Road along <br />all three lots. The existing access to Lot 1, Block 1 appears acceptable. Access to Lot 1, Block 2 <br />could be off of County Road 6 or McCulley Road provided the access is located at least 600 feet <br />from the intersection. If the access is off of County Road 6, the location should be reviewed by <br />Hennepin County. Access to Lots 1 and 2, Block 3 should be from Tumham Road. The plat may <br />reed to be revised to provide access to Lot 2 from Tumham Road. <br />2. oti.Z'ics; lixisting and propo.sed well locations should be shown on the plan set. Utility <br />oon^truelion rlans should be submitted for review. ~ * <br />3, Grading*. A grading and erosion control plan for the entire site should be submitted for review. <br />Erosion control measure.s should be in place prior to any grading. Additional erosion control will <br />be needed duiing construction of the homes. <br />4. Drainage: The draft version of the City ’s Comprehensive Storm Water Management Plan <br />(SWMP) shows that the site lies within the drainage districts PC-29 and PC-37. Lot 1, Block 1 and <br />Lot 1, Block 2 drain northerly to an existing ponding area identified as PC-P99 in the SWMP. Lots <br />i and 2. Block 3 drain southwesterly to pond PC-P40. Water quality and quantity issues should be <br />Ciddiessed as part cf the design in accordance with City standards. The post development runoff <br />ICvV.ing the site should be maintained at predevelopment levels. Ponds PC-P99 and PC-P40 have <br />A • • « Ahr-en classified as moderately susceptible wetlands. These wetlands will require that <br />2335 West Highway 36 ■ St. Paul, MN 55113 ■ 612-636-4600 ■ Fax: 612-636-1311
