Inc. dated January 20, 2005.
Discussion Items:
1. Charlie is working with the City Attorney to finalize the Developer Agreement for
the development of the land south of I-94 impacted by the project. Charlie will not
be able to begin mass site grading until the agreement is finalized. It is currently
intended to have the mass site grading completed by the developer prior to starting
construction on either the Meadow Oak Avenue or CSAH 18 interchange projects.
2. The developer will be grading pond 9 prior to the start of construction on the
interchange project. Ted Witkowski will confirm grading limits and pond depth as
design progresses. The preliminary contours provide by Dave Nash to WSB
previously have not been updated based on the revised CSAH 18 typical
section/widths.
3. Ted has sized the preliminary storm sewer trunk line along Chelsea Road to
accommodate the flow from the high point west of CSAH 18 to serve the area NW
of CSAH 18 and Chelsea Road. WSB and MFRA will coordinate the storm sewer
line elevations, storm water pond size and grading plan to serve this area.
4. The parcel south of Meadow Oak Ave should have a storm sewer service stub.
Shibani will confirm location of storm sewer service stub for Meadow Oak Avenue
with Dave as design progresses.
5. The pond in the NE quadrant of the Meadow Oak/CSAH 18 intersection will include
a drainage and utility easement over the pond.
6. No new drainage will be allowed onto proposed Mn/DOT right-of-way. The existing
storm sewer outlet and ditch that drains northward to the Mn/DOT ditch at the
existing end of Meadow Oak Avenue will be maintained.
7. Charlie would like to over excavate the ponds and backfill with top soil. Ted and
Dave will coordinate the design effort for the ponds. The over excavation is
anticipated to be outside of CSAH 18 typical section.
8. The City has proposed 8 foot paths north of Meadow Oak Ave and East of CSAH 18
between School Boulevard and Chelsea Road. The 8 foot trail will not fit within the
proposed right-of-way.
• Charlie would prefer to have a 5 foot sidewalk along Meadow Oak Avenue so
that the 66 foot right-of-way can be maintained and to delay the construction of
the sidewalk until after development has been completed. Shibani will follow-up
regarding the 5 versus 8 foot sidewalk and timing of the construction.
• The boulevard for the 8 foot path on the east side of CSAH 18 may be reduced to
6 feet adjacent to the pond area. It is anticipated that the CSAH 18 right-of-way
will shift eastward to a minimum of 15 feet behind the curb line. The right-of-
way plat is being updated and will be distributed for agency review next week.
The pathway along CSAH 18 will be a discussion item at the February
PAC/TAC meeting.
9. Dave will provide Nancy with documentation from the County reducing the size of
the wetland on the parcel. The wetland acreage shown on the layout was not
delineated in the field. WSB will review the information and follow-up with Dave
regarding the resolution of wetland impact and potential required mitigation.

10. City typical sanitary and water service stub size is 8" for commercial development
depending on fire flow requirements. Charlie prefers a 10" water service stub.
Shibani will provide Dave with as -built information on existing water main.
11. The existing water main may have to be shut down during pond construction. It is
not anticipated to be an issue to shut down the water main temporarily. The design
effort will be coordinated between WSB and MFRA.
12. The existing water main through the parcel east of CSAH 18 will be abandoned in
place. The new main will follow the Meadow Oak Avenue alignment. The water
main may have to be removed in the area of the pond.
13. The existing sanitary sewer in Chelsea Road will be relocated outside of proposed
Mn/DOT right-of-way. The installation of the new main will have to be jacked
under CSAH 18 unless the installation is delayed until CSAH 18 is closed to traffic.
Shibani will coordinate sewer layout and timing of the construction with Dave and
Charlie.
14. Dave is looking at sanitary sewer elevations to serve the sites both north and south of
Meadow Oak Avenue. They would prefer extending a 10-inch sanitary sewer main
to the property from Chelsea Road to achieve additional depth to serve the site north
of Meadow Oak Avenue.
15. There are 2 temporary sanitary sewer easements on the south and east side of the
property. A permanent easement will be needed on the 8" along the east side. A 50-
foot wide easement for the 15" from the church will not be needed.
16. The grade of Meadow Oak Avenue and the ponds along CSAH 18 will be
established by WSB. The street grade may be raised to accommodate drive into
church. Shibani will coordinate with Dave on the final layout and grade of Meadow
Oak Avenue.
17. Nancy to provide 3 copies of CSAH 18 Environmental Assessment to Charlie.
