Anoka, Minnesota 55303 Re: Sorteberg's Addition Gentlemen: Since our letter of February 2, 1979, on the above referenced plat, we have r'eviewed the revised preliminary plat, grading plan, drainage calcu, lations and street grades. The preliminary plat was revised to include an 80 feet wide right~of-way along Vario- lite Street N.W. and Xenolith Street N.W. was deleted south of 159th Lane N.W. In review of the grading plan it appears that the ponding areas are adequate. However, no provisions for drainage from the west end of 16]st Avenue N.W. were made. The grading plan is not consistent with the street grades and preliminary plat, and several of the lots are not graded properly. In review of the street grades we found.that no provisions for upgrading 161st Avenue N.W. hav£ been made. If 161st Avenue N.W. is not paved at this time, it should be upgraded in accordance with the city standards for a rural street section. The street grades along Xenolith Street N.W. should also be revised to provide drainage. In review of the road construction specifications, we would recommend that all disturbed drainage easements and park land be seeded along with all unsurfaced rights-of-way. We would recommend preliminary plat approval with the following contingencies: 1) All items discussed in this letter are corrected including the upgrading of 161st Avenue N.W. 2) All variances as recommended by the planning and zoning commission are granted. 3)' Street easements for future streets be provided in accordance with the future resubdivision plan. keilh caswell jr. ~ darrell schneider t J richard sba
