Reference: Brackey Retail— Review of Revised Plans
Dear Eric,
We have reviewed the revised plans received 9/21/2106 regarding the proposed Brackey Retail
Development. Following are our comments and recommendations:
Stormwater/Drainage
1. The project is subject to review by the Brown's Creek Watershed District.The City shall
be provided a copy of the permit approval letter from the BCWD prior to the
commencement of construction activity.
2. The proposed filtration pond shall be installed with an impermeable liner directly below
the draintile to minimize infiltration within the City's High Vulnerability Drinking
Water Supply Management Area.
Traffic Analysis Letter
No items were received addressing the previous comments shown below.
1. It is assumed that Washington County or MnDOT has requested this letter(not Ramsey
County).
2. Please include the date of the traffic counts in the third paragraph under Existing
Conditions(Page 1).
3. Provide justification that land use code 826 is appropriate for lots 1 and, in particular,
lot 3.
4. Provide existing traffic volumes for 60th Street North and Krueger Lane,including PM
Peak volumes.
5. Using the fitted curve equation instead of the average rate would result in 85 total
vehicles at the PM Peak Hour for the Specialty Retail Center(Table 1).

specialty retail.

Site Plan
1. Previous comments have been addressed.
Erosion Control Plan, Drainage and Grading Plan(s)

impermeable liner directly below the draintile to minimize infiltration within the City's
High Vulnerability Drinking Water Supply Management Area.

found on the Erosion Control Detail Sheet.
3. Show Riprap at FES-5 on the Phase II Drainage and Grading plan.

i. Include the Utility Plan notes on the Phase II plan.
2. Revise Note 15 to indicate the following: Contractor is responsible for complying with
the specifications and requirements of Oak Park Heights with regards to materials,
installation and testing of the water and sewer lines.
General Comments
1. The City reserves the right to inspect the construction of the project. The City or its
designee shall be present for water and sanitary sewer service connections to the City's
systems and all testing of the systems.
2. The Owner will need to comply with all requirements of the NPDES Construction
Stormwater Permit and the Brown's Creek Watershed District. The City reserves the
right to require additional erosion control measures as determined/necessary during
the construction of the project. Riprap placed on the project will be reviewed for
adequacy; additional may be required if necessary.
