Dear Eric:

We have reviewed the recentl revised construction plans for the cross connection
between Lowe's Store and Wal-Mart, as submitted b Ozark En Inc.
Followin are our comments and recommendations.
General Comments
I Norwich Avenue, from 60th Street to the "T" at the revised Wal-Mart/Lowe's
cross connection is approximatel 835', of which approximatel 645' of the
Avenue is owned b the Cit with the remainin distance owned privatel b
Lowe's. Lowe's should submit to the Cit a maintenance plan for this
privatel owned section. Included in the plan would be items such as, but not
limited to, snow plowin chip sealin street sweepin etc ......
Drawing Number 2
1. The north south bike trail crosses the south connection into Lowe's (as well as
CSM's southerl east/west private street). Truncated dome pedestrian ramps
need to be added at the south connection into Lowe's. In addition, both cross
walks shall be si in both directions with the cross walk si and the down
arrow showin the walk (Si W I 1-2A and S2-P2).
Drawing Number 8
1. A low point has been created in Nonvich Avenue j ust south of the 4 wa
intersection between Lowe's and Wal-Mart. This storm sewer is routed north
St. Paul, St. Cloud, Rochester, MN 0 Milwaukee, Wl ff Chica IL
Affirmative Action opportunit Emplo and Emplo Owned
to discharge into the Applebee's pond, which is currently operating at capacity
and is unable to accept this additional direct discharge. This surface runoff
needs to be directed into the Lowe's pond. (The storm sewer system in Wal-
Mart has the grade to take the proposed storm sewer however it is currently
surcharged and unable to take additional flow.)
