RE: Site Plan Review
Minneapolis Outlet Center
Albertville,. Minnesota
SEH No. A-ALBEV9811.00
I have reviewed the above referenced site and have the following comments:
Sheet C-2
1. All the pedestrian ramp locations shall be shown.
2. 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 alI f re 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-5
1. Open excavation within CSAH I9 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-6
1. Concrete cwb and gutter will be required around all storm water detention ponds.
2. It is unclear how 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 clazified.
Additional issues which shall be addressed by the developer aze the following:
1. Along dead-end water main is proposed. A hydraulic analysis shall be provided to show
that a minimum of 2000gpm at 20 psi can be provided at all hydrants within the
development.
2. There does not appeaz 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%
grade. Considering the poor soils that aze 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 pazking 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.
