HomeMy WebLinkAboutPROSPECT PARK PUD - PRELIMINARY - 21-95 - CORRESPONDENCE - STORMWATER-RELATED DOCUMENTS4. Erosion control is still a concern. There are two components to erosion control,
construction and permanent erosion control. In order to protect the wetland there needs
to be good erosion control measures at the outlfall points, especially during construction,
in addition to silt fencing along the wetland. These items are part of the entire site
erosion control plan that will be reviewed by our Erosion Control Inspector and our
Water Quality Division Manager.
If you have questions on this please feel free to contact me or Basil Hamdan. There will
be a several reviews of the proposal where the plancan be fine tuned If you feel there is
a lack of communication please contact us.

RE: Prospect Park PUD - Use of Stormwater Utility's drainage easement
Dear Linda:
This is a follow up to discussions you had with Bob Smith. The Stormwater Utility must
be able to maintain the intended use of the easement which is conveyance of storm water
and maintenance of the conveyance system. Therefore some of the proposed
improvements within the easement can be allowed with certain conditions.
1. Sometime in the future the drainageway will silt in and therefore heavy equipment
and trucks will need to access the area to remove it. Therefore if the bike path is within
the easement it will need to be designed to carry HS-20 loading and the property owner
needs to be responsible for replacing any damaged sections.
2. The Stormwater Utility will need an access easement through the driveway entrance
off of Shields Street that extends the length of the parking lot. This easement will need
some special language concerning notification for removal of parked cars on the days
access is needed. Also it must contain statements concerning the owner's responsibility
for any damaged curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement, landscaping, irrigation system, or any
improvements within the easement.
There were other initial comments concerning this easement that still apply:
1. The building cannot be within the easement. According to the easement documents
decks can overhang into the easement as long as there is still maintenance access.
2. Water quality still needs to be addressed and without a buffer to the channel it
becomes very difficult to do anything. The limits of disturbance during construction
need to be delineated as well as the limits of the wetlands. .
3. Slope stability is still a concern for the drainage outfalls as well as for the channel
banks themselves.
