Water Resources Coordinator
Stormwater Development Charges. Estimated stormwater development fees in the amount of
$770,012.40 (36.39 acres x $21,160) shall be paid prior to recording the final plat.
Financial Assurance. To guarantee compliance with the plan and related remedial work, a cash
escrow or letter of credit, satisfactory to the city, shall be furnished to the city before a building
permit is issued. The escrow amount shall be $7,500.00 per acre. The city may use the escrow or
draw upon the letter of credit to reimburse the city for any labor or material costs it incurs in
securing compliance with the plan or in implementing the plan. If the city draws on the escrowed
funds, no additional building permits shall be issued until the pre-draw escrow balance has been
restored. The city shall endeavor to give notice to the owner or developer before proceeding, but
such notice shall not be required in an emergency as determined by the city. The assurance shall
be maintained until final stabilization and removal of erosion and sediment controls.
Drainage and utility easements will be required over all remaining wetlands and public
stormwater utilities. This includes the western boundary of the project as well as the southwest
corner of the parcel which should have a sufficient easement for the main drainage pipe for this
area (required in conjunction with final plat).
Private stormwater easements will be required over all private stormwater facilities using the
city’s template (required in conjunction with final plat).
The Holasek Business Park construction plans show areas of grading over the main stormwater
pipe that runs north to south along the western property boundary. Construction on this pipe may
be planned for the next couple of years. Please coordinate earthwork in this area with the city and
Carver County Public Works Department.
The plans show significant grading in the south outlot. Sec. 19-145 of City Code does not allow
unbroken slopes greater than 30’ and slopes steeper than 3:1. Additionally, the proposed grading
would trigger bluff regulations Sec. 20-1401 and Sec. 20-1405. Staff recommends removing the
stockpile from the proposed plans. If the stockpile cannot be removed it will need to be reduced
to slope less than 20’, 3:1 max. It must meet all other regulator y requirements for wetland
hydrology, erosion and sediment control, and surface water management.
City Council Summary – December 10, 2018

Erosion and sediment control must meet the requirements of Sec. 19-145 including a dewatering
plan. Erosion and Sediment Control Practices including temporar y sedimentation basins, silt
fence, the construction entrance, and ESC BMPs are shown in the legend on sheet C5.02, but not
on the plans. Indicate the location of these practices on the Erosion Control Plan sheet.
EOFs should be stabilized with TRM or similar. Include chosen stabilization measures in the
construction plans.
Temporary Sediment Ponds. The proposed stormwater ponds will need to be utilized as
temporary sediment ponds during construction. A faircloth skimmer will need to be installed,
and the outlets of the pond will need to be sealed off for the duration of construction until the site
is stabilized. Skimming devices should be designed to remove oils and floatable materials up to a
one-year frequency event. The skimmer should be set 12 inches below the normal surface water
elevation and should control the discharge velocity to 0.5 fps. Incorporate these notes and details
into the construction plans.
Topsoil Management
a. Subsoil Decompaction. Please add a note about subsoil decompaction to the topsoil
section on sheet L1.03. Subsoil must be decompacted to a depth of six inches in all
pervious areas, prior to placement of six inches of topsoil. Contractor must identify the
method used to decompact six inches of subsoil prior to placing topsoil.
b. Topsoil Depth. Note 5 under Turf Establishment on sheet L1.03 reads that a minimum of
four inches of topsoil is required. CCWMO Standards require that six inches of topsoil
be replaced in all disturbed pervious areas. Update this note to reflect the six inch
requirement.
c. Stockpiles. Please indicate the quantity of topsoil needed to restore six inches in all
pervious areas of the development. Show location(s) where existing topsoil is to be
stockpiled on the site.
d. Soil Hauling. Describe topsoil hauling plans, including locations and estimated
quantities. Note that if topsoil is exported or imported to the site, an additional permit
may be required.
e. Vegetative Cover. Note 5 under Turf Establishment on sheet L1.03 refers to a healthy
stand of vegetation in all disturbed pervious areas of the development. Please note that
90% of the expected vegetative density is required.
Stormwater Management
Sec. 19-142. Plans required. All plans shall be reviewed and stamped “Approved by the City
Engineer” and all applicable permits must be obtained prior to commencing construction. For all
newly constructed stormwater facilities (ponds, retention areas, infiltration basins, storm sewer,
City Council Summary – December 10, 2018
7
etc.) or existing facilities that are modified, as-built plans shall be prepared by the developer. As-
built plans shall be signed and certified by a licensed professional engineer in the State of
Minnesota and
record drawings shall be provided to the city. Standard details for many typical storm structures
(e.g., storm sewer, outlet structures, catch basins, sump manholes, etc.) are available on the city's
website.
Sec. 19-144. Major facility design elements.
a. For basins intended to have permanent water levels, a minimum of four feet of standing
water (dead storage depth) and a maximum of ten feet shall be provided.
b. Separation between the inlet(s) and outlet shall be maximized to prevent short-
circuiting.
c. Outlets shall be evaluated for the need to dissipate energy so as to reduce velocities to
permissible levels as allowed by the soil and vegetation. At a minimum, flared-end
sections should be provided with riprap consistent with Minnesota Department of
Transportation standards. For areas with high flows or where excessive erosion occurs
or is anticipated, energy dissipation per Federal Highway Administration standards
shall be followed.
d. Riprap shall be provided below the channel grade and above the outfall or channel
bottom to ensure that riprap will not be undermined by scour or rendered ineffective by
displacement. Riprap consisting of natural angular stone suitably graded by weight
shall be designed for anticipated velocities. Riprap shall be placed over a suitable filter
material or filter fabric to ensure that soil particles do not move through the riprap and
reduce its stability.
BMP Details. Include the following BMP details in the construction plans:
a. BMP Cross Sections. Include site-specific elevations on the Bioretention Bench and
Bioretention Trench details on sheet C4.02.
b. OCS Details. Include Outlet Control Structure Details (attached) for the stormwater
BMPs with specific elevations for inlets, outlets, and draintile (when applicable).
c. BMP Profiles. Include profiles of the stormwater BMPs with draintile (Pond B Filtration
Bench and Filtration Trench) showing draintile slope. Please note that all draintile must
have a positive drainage slope of at least 0.5%. Include site-specific invert elevations for
assistance with field construction.
City Council Summary – December 10, 2018
8
d. EOF elevations. EOF elevations should be set to at least 0.5 ft. above the HWL to allow
for construction tolerance. Include cross-sections of the EOFs in the plan set.
Impervious Acreage. The area (ac) of proposed new impervious is inconsistent between the
application (25.10), stormwater report (27.5), project narrative (25.08), plan sheet C5.03 (28.4),
and HydroCAD model (25.34). Clarify the correct area of new impervious and update
components of the submittal to match.
Elevation-Storage Tables. Include the Filtration Bench bottom (should be 928.5) in the elevation-
storage table in the HydroCAD report so that the treatment volumes can be determined for the
ponds, bench, and re-use system.
Filtration Trench. The filtration trench design is not compliant in the current design.
a. Contributing Area. The filtration trench appears to receive runoff from pervious areas
only. Stormwater BMPs should capture and treat runoff from impervious areas on the
site.
b. Tree Roots. The filtration trench is proposed in an area that is wooded on the landscape
plan. Trees may be planted on the side-slopes or adjacent to the trench but are not
allowed in the trench bottom. Tree roots may impact the draintile and prevent proper
drainage.
c. Model and Plan Details. The filtration trench is not included in the HydroCAD model and
the construction plans do not show details (bottom, NWL, HWL, OCS, EOF) for this
BMP. Please include the details listed in Comment #2 above and include information for
this practice in the construction plans and HydroCAD model.
Operation & Maintenance Plan (O&M). Provide a draft O&M plan outlining the responsibilities
for inspecting and maintaining the stormwater BMPs on site. The O&M plan must be signed by
all responsible parties.
a. Reuse Maintenance Plan. Provide a draft Reuse Maintenance Plan as part of the overall
O&M plan. Please include all details outlined in the corresponding section on the
Stormwater Reuse Design Guidance document.
Reuse Plan Sheet. Please add the following information to the stormwater reuse plan:
a. Location of the following reuse system components: irrigation lines, irrigation zones,
sprinkler heads, pumps, intakes from ponds, and usage meters. If applicable, include the
locations of the potable connection, backflow prevention devices, filters, and debris
collection sumps.
b. Narrative describing operation of the systems. If the irrigated areas will be actively used
during daytime hours, the irrigation needs to be scheduled for times when the areas will
not be in use.
City Council Summary – December 10, 2018

c. Location of access for reuse system maintenance.
d. Drawdown elevations of the reuse ponds.
e. Volume reduction and/or water quality calculations.
f. Other information relevant to the reuse systems.
SWPPP. A copy of the SWPPP including soils/infiltration data within the perimeter of all
infiltration/filtration devices is required prior to review for final plat. The SWPPP must also meet
all requirements of City Code 19-145.
Basin. There is a bioretention basin south of Lyman Boulevard in the road construction plans.
Please show this basin on the construction plans for Holasek Business Park and demonstrate that
the road project plans don’t interfere with this project.
Chloride Management Plan. A chloride management plan is required.
Applicant will need to respond to the comments received by Twin Cities & Western
(Wednesday, October 24, 2018 6:39 AM):
“In response to this proposal Twin Cities & Western offers the following comment:
Twin Cities & Western has concerns of stormwater and general runoff impacts with this land
being developed making it non-pervious. What will happen to the stormwater runoff and will
the increased runoff adversely impact the railroad roadbed?”
SITE PLAN
Engineering

The applicant shall enter into separate site plan agreements with the city for each lot and building
and provide the necessary security to guarantee grading and erosion control, site restoration,
stormwater and landscaping.
Pedestrian ramps shall be added at each curb at the driveway entrance to Building A and
included on the site plan sheet C3.01.
Community features including benches, bike racks and picnic tables shall be incorporated in the
site.
Due to the wetland in the southwest corner of the site, Building C on Lot 3 may need to be
shifted east or reduced in size, the drive aisle, parking and loading areas may need to be shifted
to the east and north.
Water Resources Coordinator
Must comply with the conditions of the Wetland Alteration Permit.
WETLAND ALTERATION PERMIT
a. Sec. 20-409. Decisions under this article must not be made until after receiving the
determination of the technical evaluation panel regarding wetland public values, location,
size, and/or type if the city council, the landowner, or a member of the technical evaluation
panel asks for such determinations.
b. Any projects seeking a wetland alteration permit subject to this article will also be required
to submit the following incomplete requirements: Existing and proposed drainage areas to
wetlands; Buffer strip plan meeting the criteria of subsections 20-411(c) and (d)
c. Sec. 20-416. Mitigation. Wetland mitigation shall be undertaken on-site. If this is not
feasible, then mitigation may occur locally within the subwatershed. If this is not possible,
then mitigation may occur outside the subwatershed, elsewhere in the city. If mitigation
cannot be accomplished on-site, or if the city deems it necessary to perform mitigation off-
site, then the applicant shall be responsible for providing off-site mitigation within the major
subwatershed, as designated by the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act, or purchasing
wetland credits from the state wetland bank. Staff believes mitigation can occur on site by
expanding the wetlands in the south outlot.
d. Stormwater runoff shall not be discharged into wetlands without water quality pretreatment
as prescribed by this Code.
City Council Summary – December 10, 2018

e. If a wetland alteration permit is issued allowing wetland alteration, the following standards
shall be followed: (1) The alteration will not have a net adverse effect on the ecological and
hydrological characteristics of remaining wetland; (2) It shall be located as to minimize the
impact on vegetation; (3) It shall not adversely change water flow; (4) The size of the
altered area shall be limited to the minimum required for the proposed action; (5) The
disposal of any excess material is prohibited within remaining wetland areas; (6) The
disposal of any excess material shall include proper erosion control and nutrient retention
measures; (7) Alterations to any wetland area are prohibited during waterfowl breeding
season or fish spawning season, unless it is determined by the city that the wetland is not
used for waterfowl breeding or fish spawning; (8) Alterations to wetland areas shall be
mitigated in accordance with the requirements of this article if the activity results in a loss of
wetland area and/or function and value of the wetland.
f. The alteration shall not alter the hydrological patterns in the remainder of the wetland, if a
portion of the wetland remains, unless exempted under Sec. 20-417. Please show how
