False alarms continue to be an issue. Schneider requested that more research be done on this issue with data supporting the amount of false alarms, damage done to buildings in the past, etc. Schneider stated that if the nmnbers were significant, he would support the system.

The current system works and the City Council was also aware of the liability issue for the business. Deutz stated from personal experience that it is a liability issue for businesses. Businesses have insurance for those . cases and would rather repair the damage then worry about a large amount of people having access to the lock box.

Mr. Gregg Stroeing BWK 372123rd Street South St. Cloud, MN 56301 Dear Gregg: I reviewed the prelúÌ1inary plat, grading plan, and utility plans for Northland Plat 5 and have the following comments: Prëliminary Plat 1. Subject to Panning Commission approval. Hickory Drive and Northland. Trail should be renamed to confonn to the city's alphabetical system. The cuI de sac also needs a name. Provide - a street name for the north-south road between Hackberry Drive and Hickory Drive. 2. I'm not finding Blocks 1 and 2, - 3. Wìder easements are needed over pipes located outside of the right-of-way (see additional comments below). 4. What kind of penn anent markers arc you plamûng to install to delineate the wetland? Grddìng and Drainage Plan 1. Regtade north line of development so the rear yards drain to the wetland. 2, Adjust rear yard swayles in Blocks 3 anc:l4 to a minimwn of 1.5 percent grade. 3, Provide pond calculations for th~ proposed ponds- It ìs my understanding the water level io the wetland to the east has historically risen to som.ewhere around elevation 1080.0 during extremely wet years. We need to be sure we do not add any addition a] runoff to the wetlan.d I think we should keep aJJ lower level floor elevations above clevation 1083.0 4. Adjust the grades on lots 27, 28, 32, and 33 so there is at least 2.0 feet between the first floor elevation and the emergency overflow. 5, It would aid review ifnwnbers and labels were all oñentcd in the same direction. 6. Label top of casting and invert elevations for all stonn sewer structures, 7. Provide a minimum of 20 feet of easement for storm sewers where they CTO$S the lots, 8. Based on a cursory review, it appears the earthwork does not balancè_ Please check this and let me know if you wish to make changes, Short Elliott Kendrickson Inc. .

Gregg Sttoeíng April 17 ,2001 Page 2 Water Ma.in 1. Label all water main sizes. The water maín on streets other than Northland Drive can be reduced to 6-inch dia.n1êter pipe, Sanitary Sewer 1, The saniw).- sewer running through BJock 4 is between 25- and 30-feet deep, yet only 10-feet of easement is provided. Two lots are patio homes with shallow footings. We will neëd 60 feet of easement in this location. Consider relocating this crossing along the storm sewer between Lots 24 and 25, and between LotS 13 and 14. If this works, we will need enough easement to provide 1:1 slopes ftom the iDveI1$ to the first floor elevations~ and enough room to dig up sanitary sewer without losing the storm sewer, I am open to other ideas. 2, Label all manhole inverts. 3, Reverse existing force main arrows.
