Subject:
THUESEN SHORT PLAT (S-07-76) CIVILS REVIEW
The following are my comments regarding the civil drawings submitted by Eric Thuesen for his short
th
plat at 509 9 Avenue North.
1) On Sheets 1 & 2, Lot 1 indicates that the garage on the parcel is a garage under construction. The
garage is existing and should be indicated as existing on both sheets.
2) On Sheet 2, Note 3 refers to the 2-lot short plat improvements which should be updated to the 3-
lot short plat improvements.
3) The vacated alley language from Ordinance 3729 (Exhibit A) does not appear to be included in the
legal description on Sheet 1.
4) To be located in a setback area, the top of a retaining wall may only be a maximum of 3 above
original grade. While a number of final grade/existing grade elevations are shown along the length
of the southern retaining walls (Sheet 1), it is unclear what these numbers are referring to. Indicate if
these are measurements at the proposed top of wall or otherwise. Confirm that the top of wall in all
cases is no greater than 3 above original grade.
Thank you.
