We have reviewed the g eneral plans for the Lowe's More in the proposed Oak Park
Commons development, as submitted b Ozark En Inc. Followin are our
comments and/or recommendations.
General Comments
1. On Februar 26, 2006 we had a meetin with Alliant En and CSM to
discuss the g radin g responsibilities and installation of erosion control on the
entire site. Lowe's nor Ozark En were present at this meetin It
was presented to us that Lowe's would be g radin g their site, Novak Avenue
North, Norwich Avenue North and the pond. In addition, the would be
installin erosion control measures for these areas. At a later date, CSM will
be submittin plans for g radin g the area north of the Lowe's development.
Z. Lowe's will be constructin the storm sewer from the pond to the Applebee's
pond.
Drawins! Number 2
1. Wal-Mart will be constructin an 8' wide bituminous pathwa at their west
propert line adjacent to Lowes. (See attachment for pathwa location.) This
pathwa is adjacent to a sidewalk alon the west side of the Lowe's parkin
lot. With this pathwa it is not necessar to construct the sidewalk, however,
Lowe's needs to continue the pathwa north from Wal-Mart's propert line to
the internal connector street, as shown on the attachment.

Drawing Number 5
1. Bituminous removal will be required for the installation of the 24" storm
sewer under Norwich Avenue North.
2. The existing flared end section (FES) in the Applebee's pond should be shown
as a removal item.
Drawing Number G
1. The City will assume ownership of the storm sewer from the pond to the
Applebee's pond and therefore, the pipe shall be RCP. All private storm
sewer can be HDPE.
2. A trash guard shall be placed on all flared end sections.
3. Rip rap shall be placed at the flared end section in the Applebee's pond.
4. The outlet Control Structure for the pond has changed. Verify with Alliant
Engineering the design of the structure and the elevation/location of the flared
end section. It appears the FES is extended beyond the 939.00 elevation.
Drawing Number 8
1. Submit revised storm sewer rational sheet with a corresponding drainage area
map.

1. As per recommendations from the Brown's Creek Watershed District, the pond
has been designed with an extensive system of draintile for infiltration of storm
water into the ground. If in the future this draintile /infiltration system ceases to
function as designed, the 100 -year HWL elevation of the pond will be higher than
the catch basin rim elevations in Novak Avenue North (Nova Scotia Avenue
North. Under this scenario storm water may exit the storm structures in Nova
Scotia Avenue and flow overland into the proposed storm sewer system in 60
Street North
