RE: Site Plan Review
1998 Minneapolis Outlet Mall
Albertville, Minnesota
SEH No. A-ALBEV 9811.00
I have reviewed the above referenced site and have the following comments:
^ LAKE COUNTY, IN
SHEET C-2
1. All the pedestrian ramp locations shall be shown.
2. The concrete dumpster pad is shown along the north lot line. With all the parallel parking north
of the proposed building, it is unclear how the dumpster site will be accessed. The plan shall be
clarified.
3. "Do Not Enter" signs shall be installed along the one-way driveways, adjacent to the proposed
ponds.
SHEET C-4
1. Raised concrete medians and bollards shall be installed around all fire hydrants.
2. No fire hydrants are shown on the back side of the buildings. This shall be reviewed and
approved by the City Fire Marshall.
SHEET C-$
1. Open excavation within CSAH 19 will not be allowed. The water main shall be jacked-in-place
across CSAH 19.
2. Open excavation within CSAH 19 will not be allowed. The force main shall be installed by
directional boring.

SHEET C-G
1. Concrete curb and gutter- will be required around all storm water detention ponds.
2. It is unclear liow storm water will be directed to the catch basins. Drainage direction arrows and
spot elevations shall be shown on the plan.
3. All grade breaks shall be shown on the plan.
4. All drainage from the site shall be directed to the storm water detention ponds. Concrete curb
and gutter and catch basins shall be added to the south driveway.
5. It is unclear how the storm water ponds north of the development will be incorporated into any
future development. This shall be ciarifieci.
ADDITIONAL ISSUES WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AREAS FOLLOWING:
1. Along dead-end water main is proposed. A hydraulic analysis shall be provided to show that
a minimum of 2,000 gpm at 20 psi can be provided at all hydrants within the development.
2. There does not appear to be any room for snow storage on the site. The wetland to the south
should not be used for storage. The developer shall provide clarification.
3. The plan indicates the parking lot pavement will be constructed with approximately a 1 percent
grade. Considering the poor soils that are typical for Albertville, the large parking lot, and the
locations of the catch basins, "bird baths will develop throughout the parking lot". I would
suggest to the developer a reconfiguration of the storm sewer that will allow an increase in the
grade of the parking lot and minimize the distance storm water will have to travel to a catch
basin.
4. The plan shall be submitted to Wright Soil and Water Conservation District for approval.
5. The site requires a lift station to provide sanitary sewer service. This lift station could also
provide service to other property north and west of the outlet mall site.
Please call me if you have any questions.
