the bio -filtration basins be graded to be used as temporary sediment basin, along with
temporary outlets to allow stormwater to be pumped and drained too, during construction
of the site.
4. A design and planting plan approved by the Water Resources Coordinator is required for
this high visibility location. Seed mix is insufficient for these vegetated basins. You must
use species native to the ecoregion.
5. Sock should be eliminated from drain tile. Buckshot and or pea rock to surround
underdram pipe.

tile. SCH 35, 40 PVC pipe is not allowed for underdrain.

placement.

sheet for contractor to bid and to construct.
10. Mixed D soil may not be used. We only use 75 percent washed sand and 25 percent leafy
compost.
11. Bio -filtration basin should be identified in sequencing that it should not be completed
until all surrounding watershed to basins are stabilized.
12. City staff to be called, and be on site when contractor is installing bio -filtration basin to
make sure the existing subsoil is scarified 18 inches below surface in bio -filtration basin
13. Contractor to have written statement as part of the pre -construction meeting, the means
and method of how they plan to scarify and protect the subsurface from compaction in
the bio -retention basin.
14. An approved operation and maintenance plan is required for all stormwater treatment
devices. Including contact information for person(s) responsible for maintenance as well
as person(s) performing onsite inspection and maintenance duties. The city must approve
operation and maintenance plans prior to permits being issued.

planting is free of weeds. This may take a few growing seasons to achieve.

16. An additional drainage and utility easement shall be recorded over the drainage basins
located west and south of the parking lot.
We will be drafting a site plan agreement for the project. Its execution and recording are
required prior to issuing a building permit. I will be using Panera, LLC and the Chanhassen Inn
as the developer and owner, respectively, unless I hear otherwise. Additionally, I will need:
1. A copy of a recent title commitment for the property.

landscaping. (Security is required as part of the site plan agreement.)
3. Copies of cross access/parking casements/agreements.

the consent to the site plan agreement.)
5. The legal name to be used by the developer and contact person. (This will be included in
the site plan agreement.)
