Centra Care Development Plan
Administration, [Judy ]
Approve the Development Plan as submitted and
request the Council execute a Development Agreement between the City ofi St. Joseph and Centra Care
for the construction of a medical facility.
PREVIOUS PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: In March the Planning Commission reviewed the
preliminary plat for Coborn's Realty Company. The purpose of the plat was to reconfigure two lots in
the Buettner Business Park so that one lot could be sold to Centra Care for the new facility.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The packet includes review comments from the City Staff. As you will
notice there are comments in [brackets] which I have added. During review we noted that additional
detail was needed. I contacted Steve Kalkman, SJA for further detail. As staff we are recommending
approval of the development plan as they have met all the requirements. Once the Planning
Commission approves the site plan, staff will draft the Development Agreement which will memorialize
the site plan details assuring Ordinance Compliance.
Staff did note that the plans submitted where complete and questions were resolved quickly.
ATTACHMENTS: Site Plans, MDG Review Comments, Inspectron Review Comments and
Engineering Review Comments.
REQUESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Approve the site plan as presented and request staff
prepare the Development Agreement for Council approval.

CentraCare Clinic St. Joseph
RE: Planning Committee Submittal for March 10, 2008:
Please review the information enclosed this development information and planning approval. Also, review the
parking ordinance and confirm approval of new and future parking i$ acceptable for this multi-phased project.
CentraCare Clinic - St. Joseph provides primary care services in ahigh-quality, cost-effective and caring
manner to patients of all ages. The clinic offers full imaging and laboratory capabilities.
Current Clinic Hours:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday - 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Thursday - 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m.
CentraCare Clinic does comply with the development requirements for the amount of durable materials
including cast stone, aluminum panels and stucco metal panels.
The site plan shows 129 parking spaces with cross easement parking agreements with the full development.
CentraCare requests acceptance of the calculating of parking based on 7 parking spaces per physician as
noted in the Ordinance 52.10 subd. 4 f) in lieu of the 110 SF of net floor area. Based on 7 parking spaces per
7 physicians (49 required), they far exceed the required parking needed. The facility can be expanded to be
mirrored and have a .partial second floor allowing up to 24 total physicians at this site. Parking can be
expanded also in future projects based on the above amended parking ordinance.
Please review this information and provide planning approval. SJA is currently developing this building plan
for construction this summer.
Sincerely,
~~~

MUNICIPAL
DEVELOPMENT GROUP, INC.
DATE: March 26, 2008
MEMO TO: Judy Weyrens, -City Administrator
FROM: Cynthia Smith-Strack, Municipal Development Group
RE: CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
BACKGROUND
CentraCare Health Systems has submitted a site plan fora 12,815 SF medical clinic at the
southeast quadrant of the GR 133/Elm Street intersection. The St. Joseph Clinic as proposed is
designed to accommodate an additional 9,251 SF future expansion bringing the total square
footage of the. structure to 22,066. The clinic will be located on the parcel legally described as Lot
2, Block 1 of the Coborns Realty Company plat.
The proposed clinic is part of a planned unit development which includes the remaining two lots
of Block 1 of the Coborns Realty Company plat. The PUD will accommodate a unified mixed use
commercial development consisting of the clinic, a potential supermarket, and a potential multiple
tenant commercial facility. The PUD allows for uniform development standards, design synergies,
joint parking facilities, and joint sto:rmwater management methods/facilities. Site plans for the
potential supermarket and multiple tenant commercial facility have not been submitted at this
time. If/when those developments are proposed for construction, site plan review/approval shall
be required.
The following are pertinent sections of the Zoning Ordinance applicable to the CentraCare Clinic
site plan:
Section 52.09 PUD Overlay
Section 52.10 Off-Street Parking
Section 52.11 Signs
Section 52.12 General Pertormance Standards
Section 52.21 Transportation Corridor Overlay
Section 52.32 B2 Highway 75 Business District
A review of applicable zoning standards follows. This review does not address Building Code or
engineering requirements.
REVIEW
Section 52.09 PUD Overlay
The PUD Overlay district allows for the uniform development of one or more lots, tracts, or
parcels of land to be developed as a single entity, the plan for which may propose density or
intensity transfers, density increases, mixing of land uses, or any combination thereof which may
not correspond in lot size, bulk, or type of dwelling or building, density, intensity, lot coverage,
parking, required common open space, or other standards to zoning use district requirements that
are otherwise applicable to the area in which it is located.
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
The proposed clinic was subject to PUD Plat review previously.. The PUD agreement allows for
joint parking facilities, shared access and drive aisles, common. design elements, and joint storm.
water management for all three lots within the Coborns Realty Company Plat. The site plan
review constitutes the PUD plan review for this structure. Future structures within the PUD will
undergo plan review at the time construction is eminent.
Section 52.32 82 Highway 75 Business District
Section 52..09, PUD Overlay is superimposed on the underlying zoning classification. In this case
the underlying zoning classification is the B2 Highway 75 Business District.
Proposed Use: The proposed use, a medical clinic, is permitted use in the underlying
zoning district and, therefore, allowed under the PUD overlay.
Performance The PUD overlay allows for density transfers from one location within the
Standards: PUD to another; consequently lot. sizes and widths may be less than
those required in the underlying zoning district. Lot width and size
standards are not applicable to this development. It is noted the
proposed lot exceeds both lot width and lot size requirements within the
underlying zoning classification.
Under the PUD overlay, setback requirements within the underlying
zoning classification must be achieved. Required setbacks for the
subject parcel are: front yard - 20 feet; side yard - 10 feet; and, rear
yard - 10 feet. The proposed structure fronts on Elm Street ,and is
illustrated with a front yard setback of 160 feet; side yard setbacks of 90
and 100 feet (including expansion); and, a rear yard setback of 20 feet.
[The proposed structure conforms to setback requirements.]
Building heights under the PUD overlay revert to the underlying zoning
classification. The maximum height in the B2 Highway 75 Commercial
District is three (3) stories or forty (40) feet whichever is less.- Although
exterior profiles are included. in the application packet, neither a scale or
a written notation as to building elevation is included in the application.
The facility is proposed to be a single story; therefore presumably the
height will not exceed forty (40) feet. [Owner Representative" has
indicated that the building will be under 20' in height and when the
second story is constructed the building will not exceed 36'
.meeting the Ordinance requirements]
Maximum structural coverage in the B2 Highway 75 zone is limited to
sixty percent (60%) of the lot area. The PUD overlay allows for variation
in structure coverage if approved by the City. The proposed structure
(including future expansion) totals 22,066 sf; the lot area totals 163,756
sf. Therefore, s#ruoturai coverage proposed is 13.4 percent of the lot
area, well below the maximum allowed. [The proposed project
conforms to maximum structural coverage standards.]
Parkins: The PUD overlay defers to the underlying zoning district and off-street
parking standards included in Section 52..10 of the Zoning Ordinance,
except that the City may reduce the required number of parking spaces
provided PUD applicants submit information demonstrating a reduced
need for parking.
The applicable PUD agreement allows for joint parking facilities within
the PUD Plat but requires applicants provide evidence that enough
parking exists at the time of approval of site plans and common
ownership documents allow for joint parking and drive aisles. In addition
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan 2
the PUD agreement requires employees be required to park in areas as
designated on the site plan.
Section 52.10 (Off-Street Parking) requires medical clinics provide one
(1) space for every 250 feet of floor area. Floor area is defined as the
gross floor area used for services to the public including areas occupied
for fixtures and equipment used for display or sale of merchandise, less
ten (10) percent. It is noted the proposed clinic floor plan identifies
several areas for employee offices, storage, and cleaning totaling 3/130
sf (full build out), this square footage. can be deducted from the building
area as per the definition of floor area. The following calculations
determine the amount of parking required.
Total Bdl SF 22,066
Minus 3,130 0ffices, stora e, etc.
E uals 18,936 dusted SF
Minus 1,894 10% deduction
E uals 17;042 Net SF a licable
Ord. Standard 110 sf Per stall
Re uired stalls 155
Without adjustment for joint use, the required amount of parking spaces
for the proposed development is 155. The site plan illustrates 208
parking stalls. The proposed amount of parking stalls exceeds
ordinance requirements. Again, it is noted the PUD agreement allows
for joint parking in the future if/when additional structures are
constructed.
Loading: The PUD overlay defers to the underlying zoning district and off-street
loading .requirements included in Section 52.10 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Section 52.10 (Off-Street Parking) requires loading berths in connection
with any struc#ure exceeding 5,000 sf in area that requires the receipt or
distribution of materials or merchandise by trucks or similar vehicles.
The. floor plan and the site plan sheets submitted with the subject
application do not include provisions for loading berths. The clinic will not
take receipt or distribution of materials or merchandise by semi-trucks or
similar vehicles. The Ordinance standard for loading is not applicable
to this project.
Building The proposed clinic is subject to building design and exterior material
Exterior: standards under this Section (52.32) as well as those included in Section
52.21 (Transportation Corridor Overlay). When in conflict the most
restrictive standards prevail. The B-2 Highway Commercial District
requires fifty percent (50%) of all four walls of principal structures not
. including windows and doors consist of materials comparable to: face
brick, natural stone, glass, stucco, aluminum lapsiding, cut block, and
decorative concrete block.
Section 52.21 (Transportation Corridor Overlay).. of the Zoning
Ordinance, simply requires building materials be typical of those
prevalent in commercial areas, including, but not limited to, stucco, brick,
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan g
architectural block, decorative masonry, non-reflective glass and similar
materials.
The building is proposed to be a steel frame structure finished with
cultured stone, pre-manufactured stucco panels and aluminum
composite- panels. Steel frame structures are allowed within the B2
District provided a concrete block or poured concrete complete perimeter
foundation with frost. footings. extending a minimum of eight (8) inches
above the final grade. Foundation details have not been included in the
application. [Theowner representative has indicated that the
foundation will be insulated formed concrete meeting the
requirements:: Therefore the proposed structure meets the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance relating to building type and
exterior finish materials.]
Screening: Section 52.32 (B2 District) of the Zoning Ordinance requires screening of
HVAC equipment and garbage storage areas. The site plan does not
illustrate the proposed location of HVAC equipment and illustrates a
dumpster positioned south of the proposed employee parking area. The
site plan doesn't include detail regarding proposed dumpster enclosure.
[The owner representative has indicated that the HVAC will be located on
the top of the building and will be screened with metal louver meeting the
Ordinance requirements.]
Li htin Section 52.32 requires lighting be hooded and not directly positioned so
as to trespass onto CSAH 75 or areas exterior to the development. The
PUD agreement requires light. trespass not exceed one candle foot at the
centerline of an adjacent boulevard. The application includes information
regarding proposed luminaries but the site plan does not illustrate
proposed location thereof. [The Lighting plan as submitted meets the
Ordinance requirements.]
Curbing Section 52.32 (62 District) requires installation of high-back curbing for
all drive and parking areas.. The site plan illustrates curbing adjacent to
drive aisles and parking. areas. It is noted storm water infiltration
structures could impact curbing- adjacent to landscape medians internal
to the parking lot. [This standard appears to be met; however,
additional discussion may be needed.]
Landscaping: Section 52.32 requires a unified landscaping scheme for the proposed
development. The PUD agreement requires review of landscaping plans
at the time of site plan approval. The proposed clinic site includes a
unified landscaping plan which is discussed further later in this report.
Section 52.21 Transaortation .Corridor Overlay District
Section 52.21, Transportation Corridor Overlay District is superimposed on the underlying zoning
classification (62 Highway 75 Business District). Section 52.21 is intended to enhance the visual
appearance of the corridor and to protect and promote the appearance, character, and economic
values along the corridor and the surrounding neighborhoods. The district is furthermore intended
to maintain the long-term function of arterial and collector roadways.
Additional Within the Transportation Corridor Overlay, all buildings must maintain
Setback: a minimum setback of forty (40) feet from the CSAM 75 right-of-way. The
proposed structure fronts on Elm Street making the rear yard adjacent to
CSAH 75. The proposed structure is setback 20 feet from the property
line. The property does not abut CSAH 75 right of way, but rather the
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
Wobegon Trail/MnDOT Railway corridor. The trail corridor right of way
exceeds twenty feet in width. [Therefore proposed structure setback
greater than: 40' .from the. CSAH 75 ROW meaning the request
conforms. to setback requirements under Section. 52.21 of the
Zoning Ordinance.]
Parking Additional parking lot standards apply within the Transportation Corridor
Standards: Overlay, said standards are in addition to those required under Section
52.10 of the Zoning Ordinance. specifically,
A. Parking areas shall be designed and located. so as to have
minimal visual. impact along transportation corridors. Lots with
rear-yards abutting. transportation corridors shall accommodate
parking in side and/or front yards as allowed in the underlying
zoning classification.: Lot orientation is toward Elm Street
.resulting in CSAH 75 being adjacent to the rear yard of the
subject lot: Therefore, the parking lot must meet the
requirements of the underlying zoning classification and Section
52.10 of the Zoning Ordinance. [The request conforms to this
standard.]
B. Where a development application covers land located adjacent
to an existing parking lot used for similar purposes, a vehicular
connection between the parking lots shall be provided wherever
possible. For development applications adjacent to vacant
properties, the site shall be designed and constructed to provide
for a future connection. [The PUD conforms to this standard]
in that the clinic parking is intended to be connected with future
parking areas in Lot 1 and Lot 3 of the Coborns Realty Company
Plat: The required. connection. as allowed for on the clinic site
plan will be from the northeast portion of the parking lot which
has a median without landscaping which will be removed to
provide joint access.
C. Parking lot landscaping.. All development sites shall landscape
- an area equivalent to fifteen (15) percent of the total area of the
required parking lot. Said required landscaping shall be
employed within the subject parking lot and adjacent to
walkways within and leading to/from the subject parking tot. The
site plan illustrates landscaping featuring: (1) a vegetative
planting strip adjacent to the rear lot line and the western exterior
of the PUD highlighted by 15 Honey Locust trees; (2) landscaped
boulevard/parking lot medians featuring manicured lawn, mulch
and ten Autumn Maple trees; and, (3) a vegetative strip adjacent
to the employee parking area and a bicycle trail. [The proposed
site. plan meets the requirements of this section; however,
when expanded the parking lot will need to include
additional vegetative islands (i.e. replace the two concrete
islands near building front with vegetation). This provision
will be placed in the Development Agreement for future
improvements. ]
Sign Additional sign standards apply in the Transportation Corridor Overlay
Standards: District.
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
A. Free-standing signs shall not- be placed nearer than twenty (20)
feet from the nearest edge of the transportation corridor right-of-
way. One freestanding sign located near the intersection or CR
133 and Elm Street is illustrated on the site plan. The sign is well
over twerity feet from the edge of the CSAH 75 right of way. The
site plan conforms to this requirement.
B. Free-standing signs within .the required landscaped greenway
shall be designed in a manner complementary to the .landscaped
greenway. The sign is not situated within a landscaped
greenway.
C. Free-standing identification signs shall have aloes-profile design
not more than eight (8) feet in height and shall be designed to
complement and reflect the architecture of the building. [While a
sign has been illustrated on the site plan, the only approval
at this time is the location of the sign. The owner will
provide separate sign detail before construction and the
sign will conform to the Ordinance requirements.]
Site Design Additional design standards apply in the Transportation Corridor Overlay
Standards: District.
A. A forty (40) foot landscaped viewshed is required within the rear
yard of the proposed clinic. The 40 foot landscaped buffer is
measured beginning at the edge of the CSAH 75 right-of-way
nearest to the proposed clinic. As previously identified, the
CSAH 75 right of way is separated from. the proposed site by the
Wobegon Trail/Railway, right of way. The site plan includes a 20
foot landscaped stripe in the rear yard, in addition, the trail
corridor right of'way exceeds twenty feet in width. Therefore a
greater than forty (40) foot viewshed has bee preserved.
B. Utility lines, including electric, cable and telephone, to serve the
development project shall be installed underground. All junction
and access boxes shall be screened. All utility pad fixtures,
meter boxes, etc. shall be shown on the site plan and integrated
with the architectural elements of the site. [The owner
representative has indicated .that all the lines will be
underground and the access boxes will be screened with
living material].
C. Trash containers must be enclosed within a fence under Section
51.12 of the Zoning Ordinance. In the Transportation Overlay,
chain link fences, including those with slats are prohibited when
visible .from the. public right-of--way. The proposed trash
enclosure will be visible from CSAH 75. [The owner
representative has indicated that the receptacles will be
screened with a rock panel,]
D. Mechanical equipment must be shielded and screened from the
public's view and designed to be perceived as an integral part of
the building. [As stated above, the equipment will be located
on the roof and screened as per Ordinance.]
Bldg Design Additional building design standards apply in the Transportation Corridor
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
Standards: Overlay District..
A. All buildings within the property shall be developed as a cohesive
entity, ensuring .that 'building placement, architectural treatment,
vehicular and pedestrian circulation and other development elements
work together functionally and aesthetically. Architectural treatment
shall be designed so that all building facades of the same building
(whether front, side, or rear) that are visible from the public right-of-
way, shall consist of similar- architectural treatment in terms of
materials,. quality, appearance and, detail. 1-he approved PUD
facilitates the development of all three lots within the Coborns Realty
Company Plat as a .cohesive entity. The clinic parking :has been
designed to accommodate additional development on lots one and
three of the Plata The applicant should be directed to work with other
property owners to develop a master sign plan which would help
assure signage patterns work#ogether functionally and aesthetically.
The initial building placement as illustrated on the preliminary PUD
plat results in a cohesive.. entity. Architectural treatments for
additional site development will be examined in conjunction with site
plan review; however, future development .will be expected to ,.
compliment the approved clinic structure. The proposed clinic
meets this standard:
B. :Clustering. The Coborns Realty Company plat has been developed
as a PUD allowing clus#ering and cohesive design. Buildings shall be
arranged in a manner that creates well-defined open space that is
viewable from the traveled portion of the corridor. As illustrated in the
preliminary PUD plat, the buildings. are to be oriented on subject lots
in a manner that complement each other and preserve the 'viewing
corridor adjacent to CSAH 75. The proposed clinic meets this
standard,
C. Architectural Appearance/Scale. New buildings shall have generally
complex exterior forms, including design components such as
.windows, doors, and changes in roof and fagade orientation. Large
flat expanses of featureless exterior wall shall be avoided. The
treatment of buildings shall include vertical architectural treatment at
least every 25-30 feet. to break down the scale of the building into
smaller components. The proposed building represents a complex
exterior form including variations in building height, building depth,
and fenestrations ,(windows & entries). The building's bulk is nicely
broken up by the implementation of variations in building wail height
and depth and the proper placement of windows and entries. The
proposed clinic meets this standard.
D. Orientation. Building facades and entrances should be oriented in a
manner toward the primary means of vehicular access. The
proposed structure is oriented toward the lot front and access from
the proposed parking lot. Access is provided through a covered drive
up -drop off which is separated from pedestrian walkways by a high
back curb. The proposed clinic meets this standard.
E. Architectural details shall continue on all facades visible from the
public right-of-way. Architectural details are carried through on
all four sides of the proposed structure. Architectural details
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
and building materials as previously described meet. the intent
of this Section.
F. All outdoor lighting fixtures shall be down-directed, with light trespass
not to exceed 0.5 foot-candles at the property line. All island canopy
ceiling fixtures shall be recessed. Whenever possible commercial
lighting should be reduced in volume/intensity when said commercial
facilities are not open for business. (As stated above, the
Ordinance requirement is met.]
Section 52.10 Off-Street Parking
Section 52.10 contains standards for off-street parking within commercial districts, including the
B-2 District.
# of Required Without adjustment forjoint use, the required amount of parking spaces
Malls: for the proposed development clinic is 155. The site plan illustrates 208
parking stalls. The proposed amoun# of parking stalls exceeds
ordinance requirements. Again, it is noted the PUD agreement allows
for joint parking in the future if/when additional structures are
constructed.
Surfacing: Commercial parking lots are required to be surfaced with. concrete,
bituminous, pavement or paver stones. The site plan illustrates parking
stalls ;and striping but does not illustrate type of surfacing. [The owner
representative has indicated that the parking lot will be bituminous
surfacing with perimeter curbing as required by the Ordinance.]
Curbing: Section 52.10 requires perimeter curbing around the parking lot. The site
plan illustrates required curbing. [The owner representative has
indicated that the curbing will met the Ordinance requirements.]
Circulation: Section 52.10 requires vehicular circulation internal to the parking lot.
The site plan illustrates parking will not utilize streets or driveways to
support vehicular. circulation. The site plan is consistent with this
requirement.
Dimensions: The site plan does not include parking stall dimensions or a scale. The
parking stalls proposed appear to be ten feet wide by 20 feet deep. The
minimum required by the zoning ordinance is 9 X 17.5 feet. [The owner
representative has indicated that the .parking lot dimensions will
met the requirements including the bumper overhand requirement.]
Other: The City Engineer should review drainage and .lighting plans.. The
Building Official should comment on adequacy of emergency lanes.
Section 52.19 signage
Section 52.11 contains standards for commercial signage. Adequate information regarding
signage has not been submitted at this time. (Sign detail is .not provided at this time. The plan
indicates where the sign will be located and the owner will met all the Ordinance
requirements.
Section 52.12 Genera! Pertormance Standards
Section 52.12 of the Zoning Ordinance contains general standards applicable to all areas within
the City. Applicable standards within Section 52.12 relate to fencing and landscaping. However,
CentraCare Clinic Site Plan
fencing standards are more restrictive under the Transportation Corridor Overlay, therefore, those
standards (addressed previously) apply.
Section 52.12 also requires the lot area remaining after providing for parking, driveways., loading,
sidewalks or other requirements shall be planted and maintained in grass, sodding, shrubs or
other acceptable vegetation or landscaping techniques. The proposed project meets this
standard.

• Page 3
General Comments
Complete Architectural Plans must be submitted for Code review before issuance of
a building permit.
Fire Hydrants must be located 50 to 75 feet away from exterior walls of the building.
International Fire Code Section 503.1
An approved fire apparatus access road shall be provided for every facility, building
or portion of a building. The fire apparatus access road shall extend to within -160
feet of all portions of the facility or any portion of the exterior wall of the first story of
the building as measured by an approved route around the. exterior of the building or
facility.
This dimension can be increased by the Code Official when the building is equipped
throughout with an approved automatic fire suppression system.
Provide details of access to the back of the building. (South side).
Findings
Based upon review of the preliminary building and site plan documents the proposed
project is compliant with the permitted uses of the B-2 Zoning District. The project
complies with the minimum lot size, lot coverage and setback requirements of the
district.
Parking demand based upon 1 space. per 110 square feet calculates to 200. spaces
required for both phases I and II. The site plan shows a total of 208 spaces vvhich
meets the requirements. The proponents are requesting the parking. caicula#ion to
be based on the number of doctors. With a total potential of 24 doctors 168 parking
spaces would be required.. The ordinance states that the parking demand can be
calculated either way with the higher resulting .number being the one used to
determine the required number parking spaces. Planning Commission must make a
determination of the required parking spaces.
A plan must be submitted showing fihe location and screening for the HVAC
equipment and refuse storage.
A more detailed landscaping plan is needed to show details including names and
numbers of plantings and parking lot landscaping equal to 15% of parking area. [The
owner representative has submitted a unified landscape plan. With the
Building Permit application a more detailed plan will be submitted, matching
the unified landscape plan.]
Complete Architectural Plans must be submitted for Code review before issuance of
a building permit.
~ Page 4
Fire Hydrants must be located 50 to 75 feet away from exterior walls of the building.
[The Fire Hydrants will be a minimum of 5Q' as per the owner representative.]
Provide details of fire apparatus access to the back of the building (South side) or
details of an automatic fire suppression system for the building. [fhe owner
representative has indicated that-the building will include an automatic fire
suppression system meeting this requirement]
Recommendation
I recommend approval of the site plan contingent submittal of ali required changes for
review and approval prior to execution of the developers agreement.

FROM: Randy Sabart, PE
DATE: March 24, 2008
~~ St. Joseph, Minnesota
CentraCare Clinic
Preliminary plan review
SEH No. STJOE 101900 14
I reviewed the preliminary grading and utility plans received March 26, 2008, and I have the following
comments:
Site Gr:~ding/Pond Grading
The grading plan provides for a proposed and future bicycle trail connection to the Wobegon
Trail. The Department of Transportation's initial review of the Coborn Realty Co. submittal noted
that there was not any proposed construction within the State Rail Bank Property. Since the
proposed plan is different than originally submitted, the plan should again be reviewed by the
state, and the applicant must obtain the appropriate permit for construction within the State's Rail
Bankproperty.
a. If the proposed trail connection is permitted by the State, the trail on the grading plan must be
detailed to include proposed spot elevations. Additionally, the proposed trail grades must be
set, or other remedies provided, to prevent impeding the drainage swale adjacent the
Wobegon Trail
2. The parking lot at the southeast corner of the site provides fora 16 foot-wide curb cut at the lot's
southeast corner. The parking lot grades direct surface run-off to the same corner. Adjust the
proposed catch basin location, or provide an additional catch basin, to intercept run-off at the
parking lot to mitigate short-term erosion at the curb cut and to minimize potential erosion at the
top of the pond bank. Provide additional short-term measures to limit erosion at the curb cut.
a. It is noted.that the proposed site plan includes a new 12 foot-wide "alley" connection at the
south end of the common street between Lots 1 and 3 that was not illustrated on the Coborn
plan. Additionally, the alley connects to the street in an adverse directiori to traffic flow. It is
advisable to review the proposed geometry with Coborn Realty Co. to ensure the proposal is
agreeable to both parties.
3. Increase the rear yard swale grades to the low point catch basin to a minimum of 2 percent.
4. Increase the vertical separation between the proposed finished floor elevation and the emergency
overflow elevation (EOF) in the rear yard at the southeast corner of the building. Label the EOF
on the plan.

Preliminary plan review
March 27, 2008
Page 2
5. The Stearns County Highway Department has previously indicated that the driveway approach
from CR 133 could not be widened. Revise the proposed street geometry to match the existing
apron.
6. The proposed pond contours with the CentraCare site plan indicate the pond bottom elevation to
be 1076..00 which is two feet higher than the proposed Coborn's development pond of 1074.00..
The change in pond bottom elevation reduces the dead storage of the pond. Because of the
elevation change, the NPDES permit dead storage requirement is no longer met. Revise the pond
grades to meet the NPDES dead storage requirement.
Utilities
7. I understand that the proposed site utilities will be privately owned and maintained. As such, the
owner is advised of the following:
a. Provide isolation gate valves at the water main branches, and at a minimum, at locations that
will facilitate water main disinfection, flushing,. and future phase extensionst
i. Water main branch to the clinic at the main entrance road.
ii. South branch of the cross near the northeast corner of the clinic building...
iii. West side of the hydrant lead tee at the northeast corner of the lot.
8. The Building Official and/or Fire Chief should evaluate the adequacy of the hydrant locations
with respect to separation from the building.. In my experience, the hydrants should be located 50-
100 feet from the structure to facilitate access by the fire department during a building fire.
9. Illustrate in conformance with the M-nriesota Plumbing Code the proposed locations, construction
details, and castings for the sanitary sewer cleanouts.
10. Revise the minimum sanitary sewer pipe grade to comply with the Minnesota Plumbing Code (1
percent).
11. The Applicant is advised to extend the water main stub to Lot 1, Block i further than illustrated
to minimize disrupting the entrance road pavement. The Applicant is further advised that
construction of the proposed hydrant (Coborn Realty Co. Plan) at a future .date may require an
interruption of water service to the clinic.
Hydrology /Storm water
12. A storm sewer stub from Catch Basin 22 to Catch Basin 23 as identified on the Coborn Realty
Co. Storm Sewer Plan is not illustrated on the CentraCare plan. Include provisions for the stub
now, or the Applicant is advised that the entrance road may be disturbed by storm sewer
construction in the future.
