MEMORANDUM

FROM:

SUBJ:
Site Plan Review of CVS Pharmacy
Land Use Review File No. 04-06
Upon review of the plans dated May 20, 2004 prepared by Anderson Engineering, I
offer the following comments and recommendations:
GRADING, DRAINAGE & EROSION CONTROL
The site was previously rough graded as part of the Galpin Business Park
development. Only minor grading remains to prepare the site for a building pad
elevation of 966.5. The site is designed to drain away from the building to proposed
catch basins on all sides. These catch basins will connect to an existing storm sewer
system which drains to an existing NURP pond just east of the K wik Trip store. The
NURP pond has been previously sized to accommodate drainage from this site. No
additional ponding improvements are necessary. Storm sewer sizing calculations will
need to be submitted for review prior to building permit approval.
A retaining wall, ranging from 0' to 16' in height, is proposed along the east comer of
the site. Due to its height, this wall must be designed by a registered structural
engineer and a permit from the Building Department must be obtained for its
construction.
Erosion control measures and site restoration must be developed in accordance with
the City's Best Management Practice Handbook (BMPH). Staff would recommend
that the City's type II silt fence be used adjacent to the wetland on the east side of the
site. In addition, a 75-foot minimum rock construction entrance must be included at
the main access drive to the site.
UTILITIES
Municipal sanitary sewer and water is available to the site from the existing private
drive to the north. The applicant is proposing to connect to existing sewer and water
lines on the north side of the site and extend private services to the proposed
pharmacy building.
According to the City's Finance Department records, the site was previously assessed
for utilities. The remaining assessment due payable to the City at the time of building

permit application is $10,479. In addition, sanitary sewer and water hook-up charges
along with the Met Council's SAC fee will be due at the time of building permit
issuance. The 2004 trunk utility hook-up charge is $1,458 per unit for sanitary sewer
and $2,814 per unit for water. The 2002 SAC fee is $1,425 per unit. The hook-up
charges and SAC fee are based on the number of SAC units assigned by the Met
Council.
The applicant is responsible for obtaining permits from the appropriate regulatory
agency including, but not limited to: Carver County, the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek
Watershed Distlict, and the MPCA.
STREETS! ACCESS
No public streets are proposed with this project. Full site access will be gained off of
the existing private driveway just north of the site. There is an existing cross-access
easement for this private driveway. Overall development accesses include a right-
inhight-out access on Galpin Boulevard, a right-in access on W. 78th Street, and a full
access on W. 78th Street. Due to the large number of u-turns at the intersection of
Galpin BoulevardIW. 78th Street from traffic exiting the site onto Galpin Boulevard
and wanting to get to TH 5, staff will be communicating with Carver County on the
installation of a "No U-Turn" sign at the intersection.
