-130- Final Plat Review: Birch Hill Lodges Page 2 of 4 April 19, 2002 to determine where the watermain looping easement should be located, and is subject to the City Engineers approval. Final Grading, Construction, Streets and Udlitw Plan: In conjunction with final plat review, the City Engineer has reviewed the final grading, construction, streets, and utility plan. The drivewaY grades on K street are steep. The eastmost unit approaches 10%. It would be desirable to reduce these driveway grades if feasible. 'All units should have positive drainage away from the structures, Lot 2 Block 1, Lot 2 Block 2, Lot 3 Block 2, and Lot 5 Block 2, all show spot grades the same elevation as the building itself at distances of 10 to 15 feet from the building elevations raised, or a detail showing the drainage away from the building should be submitted. Grades along the TH 47 ditch are one percent, which is the minimum allowable under City code. The ditch is within the TH 47 right-of-way and a permit will need to be obtained by MnDOT for work in this area. The ends of the driveway collectors should be provided with additional pavement sufficient to allow vehiCles to turn 180 degrees. An "L" shape end treatment would be acceptable (see attached proposed street design). It is noted that the applicant will need to obtain a grading easement from the Lord of'Life Church in order to accomplish the proposed grading plan submitted to the City. A copy of the agreement between Orrin Thompson Homes and Lord of Life Church for a grading easement to be located on a portion of the Lord of Life church's property, will need to be received by the City prior to commencement of any grading on the property. In the event that Orrin Thompson Homes and Lord of Life Church cannot come to an agreement on a grading easement located on a portion of the Lord of Life church's property, Ordn Thompson Homes will need to submit a revised grading plan to the City providing for the construction of a retaining wall along the southeastern boundary line of the plat. The construction of the-retaining wall is subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. Gate valves need to be placed on the south and east leg of the tee connection to the existing watermain at Cobalt and Sunwood. A gate valve should be placed midway on Cobalt Street at the intersection orE and J Street. Watermain looping from the south end of Cobalt Street to the existing watermain in the City Park or the Lord of Life property will be required, however, credit against watermain trunk charges will be utilized for the portion of the watermain beyond the site boundary.
