Preliminary Summary of City Engineer Plan Review Ramsey Town Center Plans Dated 27 August, 2003 Page 5 of 9 ~. The ponding layout at Zeolite Street and West Ramsey Parkway shall be reviewed with the goal of providing room for an underpass for the regional trail system. The layout-of the open area and trail system should reflect the concepts presented during preliminary plat approval. The ponding areas at East Ramsey Parkway and Rhinestone Street must meet the same standards as noted for Zeolite and West Ramsey Parkway. Landscape Plans Sheet L1.0 legend refers to shaded areas as Proposed Parks and Open Space. This note should be revised to read Proposed Parks and/or Open Space. Remove the word Future from the note regarding the trail on the south side of the site and realign the trail to follow the latest parcel boundaries. Sheet L3.0 r4commends preserving several large trees during preliminary grading. The landscaping plans L4.0-L4.3 do not show these trees in the final grading plan. Trees preserved during the clearing operations should be used in the final landscaping plan or bd removed during cleating. Removing preserved trees after initial clearing can create public resentment for the project and developers. Wetland Mitigation sheet 7of 8 shows creation of a new wetlan~mitigation area in a~ existing city park. not sho~ in the pl~ set ~d must be reflected somewhere in the set, must meet city stand,ds ~d must be approved by the city prior to ~stallation. Utility Plans We reviewed the utility plans recognizing that they are not final construction documents. We looked at the trunk sanitary and storm sewer lines in some detail since they are critical for serving additional properties north and west of the site. Generally the trunk sanitary and storm line grades will allow for development north and west of the site. The raw water lines from the city wells must be labeled on the water plans. The direction of connection must be listed on the sanitary and storm sewer sheets next to the invert elevations. Manhole sizes were not labeled on the plans that were reviewed. All pond outlet structures shall be concrete skimmer structures per city plans, several were shown as flared end sections. The following conflicts were noted and will need to be addressed: · East Ramsey Parkway South at Peridot Street - the street storm sewer conflicts with the trunk storm sewer that runs south in Peridot street. · The 18" sanitary sewer stub under the railroad tracks south of Civic Center Drive conflicts with the trunk storm sewer that parallels the track. The resolution per discussion is removal of the line as shown and relocation of the stub to Armstrong Boulevard. The line will be installed'on the east side of Armstrong Boulevard. · Sunwood Drive and Zeolite Street - the sanitary sewer conflicts with the trunk storm sewer. Last printed September 15, 2003
