72AVEW IMPROVEMENTS
Aconceptual plan was previously submitted to the City for preliminary review and feedback.
nd
The proposed retaining wall was shownon the west side of 72Ave and preliminary
comments were provided to tha applicant regarding that layout. The preliminary comments
indicated it appeared as though a wall would alsoneed to be constructed on the east side of
nd
the road.The current submittal onlyshows a wall on the east side of 72Ave W, in the
middle of the right-of-way. This configuration will not be approved by the City as it is located
in the middle of the right-of-way, causes conflicts with City utilitiesand dry utilities,and
nd
eliminates access potential to the property on the east side of 72Ave W. Please revise plans
addressing the following:
nd
a.A wall shouldbe provided on the west side of 72Ave W and as needed on the
ndnd
east side of 72Ave W. A wall on the east side of 72Ave W shall be placed in
nd
a location that would allow for future widening of 72AveW, as well as access.
b.A wall maintenance easement will need to be provided on private property for a
nd
wall on thewest side of 72Ave W.
c.The City had requested communication be had with the owner of the undeveloped
nd
property on the east side of 72Ave W regarding access and completion of
improvements. Please forward any communication on this. Does the property
owner desire an access point at a particular location? How will these subject
road/utility improvements be coordinated with development of the adjacent parcel?
d.Please check proposed grading contours.
i.The 256 contour at the south edge of the driveway approach is not shown to
tie back into the existing 256 contour line.
ii.The 262 contour is cut by the 260 contour and it is not clear how the area
will be graded to create the 262 contour.
iii.It appears as though the proposed cuts may reduce cover over utility
system(s) to below 2-feet.
nd
e.Provide a profile and cross section of 72Ave W, including utilitylocations and
depth.
f.City water main extension shall be located a minimum of 10-feet from the sanitary
sewer system.
