As part of this plat 180th Avenue will be extended west into the plat from Kliever Lake Fields. The proposed subdivision will include five lots; one for an existing home fronting on County Road 12; and four with access on the newly extended 180th Avenue NW. The existing home is setback about 125 feet off of County Road 12 on the north side of the property. There is also a shed located behind the house. The property is fairly flat with some mature trees located around the existing house. On August 19, 2002 the City Council approved the preliminary plat. Layout Streets The applicant is proposing to extend 180th Avenue west from Kliever Lake Fields, through this property to the western boundary of the plat. Since it is likely that 180th Avenue will be extended further to the west in the future, the applicant is proposing a temporary cul de sac.

The submittal package consisted of construction plans dated December 27, 2002, specifications, and grading plans. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: Construction Plan · Sidewalk shall be 6 inches thick rather than 4 inches so that driveways can be installed anywhere along the road. · The HDPE watermain along the west side of the project should be 8 inches (inside diameter) instead of 6 inches. · The valve on the south end of the HDPE watermain line should be moved to the north side of the hydrant in order to shut off the line completely if necessary. · Water looping outside of the Right of Way shall be HDPE, valved at each end with no connections/services between. Therefore the house on Lot 1, Block 1, cannot be serviced by the watermain on the west end of the project. · The temporary easement along the west end of the project should be shown on these plan sheets. · The house on Block 1, Lot 1 is not fire protected and should be discussed with the City's fire chief. A hydrant could be installed near CSAH 12 if the fire chief says one is required. · The weadng course mixture should be 2350 Type MV4 Wearing Course Mixture instead of 2350 Type MV3 Weadng Course Mixture. Grading Plan · Show any easements that currently exist. · An easement is needed on the south end of Block 2, Lot 2 in order for Lot 1 to drain across to the existing pond in Kliever Lake Fields. · Provide a standard house legend. · There should be an easement provided along the north end of Block 2, Lots 1 and 2 in order to install the temporary cul-de-sac.

Specifications · The specifications have been reviewed and are acceptable. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. Sincerely, Howard R.
