Hamel, Minnesota 55340 Subject: City of Medina Springer Property Road Dear Mrs. Roehl: Reply To: 12805 Olson Memorial Highway Minneapolis, Minnesota 55441 1612) 559-3700 As requested, I have looked at the location of the proposed road on the former Springer property and have the following comments or recommendations: We would not recommend that the standard street with ditch drainage be built in this area for the following reasons. The land is very flat and the ditches would have to outlet on Willow Drive and also in 2 or 3 places where the water would flow directly into the back yards of Medina Morningside. We feel that if this were done the City would be subject to potential law suits from the affected owners. One way around this problem is the construction of an extensive storm sewer system which should probably outlet through Medina Morningside. Another solution would be to build the road approximately level with the surrounding ground with no ditches, in which case the runoff from the road and the area north of the road would remain as it is now which is spread more generally over the whole area rather than concentrated in 3 or 4 spots as it would be with ditches. The disadvantage of this obviously is that the road base does not drain and is much more susceptable to breakup. At the last Council Meeting it was recommended that the people proposing the street get together with the Medina Morningside Residents and come up with a plan for a private road, but with the sub -base prepared for a future City Street and at that point the Council would consider a variance which would allow 4 houses on this road. Minneapolis - Hutchinson - Alexandria - Granite Falls printed on recycled paper Donna Roehl November 10, 1978 Page 2 If this is done, we recommend that the road be constructed to the following standards. 1) Unsuitable materials beneath a 24 foot wide roadway be removed and replaced with suitable materials. 2) A 16 foot wide graNfel surface be placed on this material. The gravel should consist of 8 inches of Class 5 gravel or 6 inches of crushed rock. 3) The 16 foot road should be offset to the North on the 24 foot base and we further recommend that the center of the 24 foot base be shifted 3 feet north in the R.O.W. This will leave 24 feet between the south edge of the gravel road and the property lines on the north of Medina Morningside. 4) The gravel surface should follow the existing contours of the land as closely as possible. Runoff from the street should be off to the sides rather than following the drive and concentrated in one area. 5) The existing driveway should be removed and replaced. Shallow ditches in the area from Willow Drive to approximately 500 feet West would be acceptable if they were made to drain to Willow Drive. 6) If the road were constructed in this manner it would be with the understanding that this is a private drive and would not be maintained by the City unless brought to City Standards, including major drainage improvements. 7) A 120 foot diameter R.O.W. for a future cul de sac at the westerly end of the road should be provided. The Cul de sac need not be constructed at this time. If the Council choses to require a City Street here we would recommend that an Engineering Plan be prepared prior to construction of the street to establish a drainage plan. If you have any questions on this, please advise. Very truly yours, McCOMBS-KNUTSON ASSOCIATES, INC. Lyle Swanson, P.E.
