Construction Plan Review:
1. On sheet 3 of 12: For clarity add a note referencing where erosion and sediment control
details can be found (currently sheet 9 of 12).
2. On sheet 6 of 12: For clarity, call out water and sanitary services to Lot 2 along with
separation requirements; update buffer strip widths according to RPBCWD rules and
regulations and the “Wetland Buffer Calculation” table, reflect changes throughout plan
set and final plat; relocate temporary barricade approximately 30 feet east in order to
City Council Summary – May 26, 2020

accommodate snow storage; remove second temporary barricade located at
approximately station 3+00.
3. On sheet 7 of 12: Note 6 of the “Grading Notes” requires a rock construction entrance, in
accordance with city standards, however no construction entrance is illustrated on the
plans, update accordingly; Note 10 shall be updated to include 48-hour notification prior
to dewatering and approval of a dewatering plan by the city’s Water Resources
Coordinator; the “Hold Down Detail Single-Family Home” does not appear to be site
specific, update accordingly.
4. On sheet 8 of 12: Update plans to include double BMPs up-gradient of the wetland;
illustrate locations of all construction entrances for clarity; illustrate location of
“temporary parking and storage area”; update note referencing “install inlet protection on
downstream inlets” to include the intersections, or, show inset of catch basins to be
protected, for clarity; update SWPPP BMP quantities “topsoil respreads area/volume”;
under “Notes to Contractor” remove reference to “the city” for transfer of erosion control
responsibilities, this will remain the contractors responsibility throughout the life of the
project; update legend for the erosion control blanket to call out type (MnDOT Cat. 3).
5. On sheet 9 of 12: Update details to include tree protection as called out under “Erosion
Control General Notes 9.”; Note 10 and Note 1 of “Erosion Control General Notes” and

inspection with the city and provide the appropriate contact information; if the site will
include a portable restroom update the “Pollution Prevention Management Measures”
accordingly.
6. On sheet 10 of 12: Note 2 shall include language expressing the need for a
preconstruction meeting with the city prior to commencement of construction activities;
Note 6 shall be updated to allow for 48 hours’ notice; Note 9 shall be updated to reflect
PVC/PEX water services in accordance with detail 1006 as type “k” copper is no longer
allowed; as the temporary cul-de-sac detail has been modified ensure call-outs and notes
clearly indicate the areas requiring full depth street construction; it is highly
recommended that the slope of the sanitary sewer allows for better constructability as it is
currently proposed at the minimum slope, staff recommends 0.50%; begin stationing on
sheet or clearly indicate where station 0+00 is located; where the dead-end sanitary
manhole is installed, extend embankment further east to allow for proper maintenance as
plans currently illustrate a -28.00% slope immediately following casting.
7. On sheet 12 of 12: Extend wetland buffer seed mix to edge of existing property line.
Parks:
1. Full park fees in lieu of parkland dedication and/or trail construction are collected. The park
fees shall be collected in full at the rate in force upon final plat submission and approval. At
today’s rate, these fees would total $5,800 (1 lot x $5,800 per lot) for the one new lot
without an existing home.
