Chick-fil-A-Chanhassen
NW Quad MN 5 (Arboretum Blvd) and Great Plaines Blvd.

Dear Mr. Generous:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the plans for Chick-fil-A-Chanhassen. MnDOT has
reviewed the documents and has the following comments:
Water Resources:
A MnDOT drainage permit will be required to ensure that current drainage rates to MnDOT right-
of-way will not be increased. The drainage permit application, including the information below,
should be submitted online to: https://dotapp7.dot.state.mn.us/OLPA/
The following information must be submitted with the drainage permit application:
1) A grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
2) Drainage area maps for the proposed project showing existing and proposed drainage
areas. Any off-site areas that drain to the project area should also be included in the
drainage area maps. The direction of flow for each drainage area must be indicated by
arrows.
3) Drainage computations for pre and post construction conditions during the 2, 10, 50 and
100 year rain events.
4) Time of concentration calculations.
5) An electronic copy of any computer modeling used for the drainage computations.
6) See also the attached Drainage Permits Checklist for more information.
Once a drainage permit application is submitted, a thorough review will be completed and
additional information may be requested.
