Boulder Cove: Follow - Up Items
Hello Sharmeen and Alyson,
Great sitting and meeting with you both this morning. Based on our discussion and my iphone notes, here are the items
that you requested some follow-up on. I have put in answers for the information that I was able to get quickly.
1. Need to have a conversation with the property owners to the east and to the north - work on setting up a workshop for
the week of March 10th, well before the PC meeting the following week. Should have a heads up in addressing the
following issues, as these are what were raised in the past:
- Outlot C does not drain
- Street connection on to Strawberry lane north
- Resident at the corner raised issues (Does the name Marcus & Kristen Hoffman ring a bell?)
Question: Does the City have a facility that could be used? A hall or multi purpose space? Also, would it be possible to get
the list of addresses so we can send a letter out for a community meeting? (I am assuming the City will be generating a
mailing list for noticing - the letter will come from us, but wondering if we can get the addresses for mailing)
2. The community will be constructed in one phase - Lennar will be opening all lots for sale at the same time. Beyond that,
we are not able to know which lots would go first. It is anticipated the ones along the northern edge would be preferred,
but if somebody wants to come in on the south side, we will work with that customer as well.
3. An impervious coverage analysis in table format needs to be submitted to the City by 12 noon on Tuesday. I will get this
to you by or before then.
4. The City asked about a potential catch basin on the south side along HWY 7. 1 spoke with Otto; the back of the lots are
designed with a 3% grade that slopes down towards HWY 7; it is our understanding that this exceeds the City's
requirement. From what I can see on the grading plan, there is a difference in elevation ranging from about 3 to 9 feet
down towards HWY 7 within that swale. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
5. The City asked about the high water elevations for the basin located in Outlot C. I confirmed with Otto that the location
of this basin was intended to preserve trees and locate the basin as far back from 62nd as possible, knowing there were
water drainage/ponding issues in the previous plan. Alyson, you were right; the balance in this location of the site will
become an exercise in balancing tree preservation and elevation. It is also our intent to not encroach into the berm that is
there.
6. The boulders will be used - in the boulder wall on the south side. I will have a discussion with Joe about any more
potential uses as well.
7. The issue of noise was brought up - potentially a noise study. However, between the boulder wall, cedar fence,
berming, and landscape and vegetation, I would think that those components will do a good job in terms of noise and
anesthetic buffering.
8. Tot lot details - we show a preliminary concept with the outline of a play structure. Please let me know if you have any
questions.
9. Erosion control plan and SWPPP - City to review documents that were submitted.
10. Contacting MnDot about the connection to the existing water main in HWY 7 - Lennar will discuss internally.
11. Checking for easements for water main in cul-de-sac for eastern homes - Lennar will discuss internally.
Those are the items I got out of our meeting. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, we definitely
want to keep things moving and on track towards the March 18 Planning Commission date, so if we need to discuss
anything (although I know we will be getting something in writing) please let me know.
Thank you both so much, and have a great weekend.
-Paul
