Low Density Residential Land Use District is one to four dwelling units per acre.
Public Utilities
The property is currently located in the Metropolitan Urban Service Area (MUSA) and has public
utilities available for service connection. The installation of the on-site utilities, roads, and sup-
porting infrastructure will be privately designed and constructed to meet City specifications. The
image below identifies a preliminary utility location detail for the project. The engineering memo
dated September 13, 2019 from Bolton & Menk, addresses the utility comments for the project.
Area charges will be collected per City Ordinance. A Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) will be
required to be paid for each lot in the subdivision at the time of building permit.
Utility Plan
Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW)
The proposed project is below the lot count threshold that would trigger an environmental review
prior to development.
Transportation
The through street for the proposed development connects to Ravine Parkway adjacent to Jeffery
Avenue to the south. No direct driveway access is permitted to Ravine Parkway and the Military
Road public right-of-way for the lots abutting said right-of-way. Public right-of-way 33 feet in width
is required to be platted along Military Road adjacent to the plat. The final plat shall reflect the
road name as Jeffery Avenue South.

Surface Water Management
The surface water management plan was reviewed by the City’s engineering staff, and their com-
ments are included in the September 19 plan review memorandum from Bolton & Menk. The
storm sewer and ponding will need to be designed to meet all City and South Washington Water-
shed District Requirements. A revised surface water management plan will be required that
addresses all comments.
Grading
The preliminary grading plan was reviewed by Engineering and comments are included in the
September19 memorandum from Bolton & Menk. Additional grading review will be required upon
submittal of final grading and utility plans for the site.
Grading Plan
Tree Preservation
The existing tree mass on the site is shown below. A component of the final plat approval will be
the submittal of a tree preservation inventory and mitigation plan as outlined in the City’s new tree
preservation ordinance. Mitigation trees will be required to be planted on the lots abutting Outlot
A and the Military Road/Trail Corridor.

Fire Department Access
The through roadway connections and lot count satisfy the secondary access requirements per
the fire code.
Trails and Sidewalks
A sidewalk is proposed to be installed as part of this project; the location is detailed in orange
below. The costs of removing 50 percent of Military Road along the length of the project and 50
percent of the construction of a future bituminous recreational trail in the road/trail right-of-way
along Military Road (green line below) will be required to be paid in full at the time of development.
The bituminous trailways (in red below) along Ravine Parkway were constructed as a component
of the 2019 parkway improvement project.
Park Dedication
No neighborhood parks are identified for this area, so per the City ordinance, a park dedication
cash fee for each lot will be required to be paid be at the time of recording of the final plat. Five
public park and open space markers will be required to be installed by the developer around the
stormwater outlot.
Historic Preservation
The existing buildings on the site are not of historic significance.
Architecture
The home styles within the neighborhood will be dependent on the group of builders that the
Developer signs onto the project. The minimum home size will be 2,100 square feet, and the
market will determine the brick and stone amenities. It is reported that the new homes will be
consistent with surrounding single family residential developments.
Subdivision Monument
Based on the size of the development and lack of common open space areas, no subdivision
monument signage is proposed.

ments unless the street or other public improvements have been formally accepted by the
City. Upon completion of the improvements, the Developer may request, in writing, their
acceptance by the City. This request must be accompanied by proof that there are no
outstanding judgments or liens against the land upon which the public improvements are
located. Upon the City’s receipt of a written request for acceptance from the Developer,
the City Engineer will conduct a final inspection of the public improvements and will furnish
a written list of any deficiencies noted. The City Engineer will base the inspection on com-
pliance with the approved construction plans, profiles and specifications, as required by
the city ordinance. Upon satisfactory completion of all construction in accordance with the
approved plans, profiles, and specifications, as certified by a registered engineer in the

d. No certificate of occupancy for such model homes shall be issued until all typical re-
quirements for such issuance have been met.
e. Final plat has been recorded.
f. The Developer acknowledges in the development agreement that prior to the construc-
tion of the improvements, site conditions, access to paved roads, and fire hydrants will
be sub-standard and will not be optimized until the improvements are completed. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Developer agrees to indemnify the City, its officers,
employees, agents and others acting on its behalf and to hold them harmless and de-
fend and protect them (with counsel of the City’s choosing) from and against any and
all loss, damage, liability, cost, and expense, specifically including attorneys’ fees and
other costs and expenses of defense, which result from, or otherwise arise in connec-
tion with any actions, claims or proceedings of any sort caused by or arising from the
construction or use of the model homes by Developer or its contractors, employees,
agents, or assigns, prior to the improvements being completed. Such claims shall in-
clude, but not be limited to, claims that the model homes could not be accessed properly
or in a timely manner by fire equipment and/or police or emergency vehicles due to
road or site conditions or claims based on lack of proximity to fire hydrants or lack of
adequate fire protection. Although indemnification shall cease for claims arising after
the improvements are completed and accepted, indemnification obligations for claims
arising prior to the completion of the Improvements shall survive the termination of the
agreement.
52. No additional building permits beyond the model permits will be issued until such time as
adequate public utilities, including streetlights, and streets have been installed and deter-
mined to be available to use. The City will require that the utilities, lighting, and street sys-
tem have been constructed and considered operational prior to issuance of any building
permits in the development. Also, the City must have all the necessary right-of-way and/or
easements needed for the property to be serviced.
53. Adequate dumpsters must be on site during construction of streets, utilities, and houses.
When the dumpsters are full, they must be emptied immediately or replaced with an empty
dumpster. The developer is responsible to require each builder to provide an on-site dump-
ster to contain all construction debris, thereby preventing it from being blown off-site.
54. Adequate portable toilets must be on-site at all times during construction of utilities, road-
ways, and houses. At no time shall any house under construction be more than 250 feet
away from any portable toilet. Toilets must be regularly emptied.
55. After the site is rough graded, but before any utility construction commences or building
permits are issued, the erosion control plan shall be implemented by the developer and
inspected and approved by the City. The City may impose additional erosion control re-
quirements if it is determined that the methods implemented are insufficient to properly
control erosion.
56. All areas disturbed by the excavation and back-filling operations shall be fertilized,
mulched, and disc anchored as necessary for seed retention. Time is of the essence in

controlling erosion. If the developer does not comply with the erosion control plan and
schedule, or supplementary instructions received from the City, or in an emergency deter-
mined at the sole discretion of the City, the City may take such action as it deems appro-
priate to control erosion immediately. The City will notify the developer in advance of any
proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer’s and the City’s
rights or obligations. If the developer does not reimburse the City for any costs of the City
incurred for such work within thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to
pay such costs.
57. The Developer is responsible for erosion control inspection fees at the current rates. If the
developer does not reimburse the City for the costs the City incurred for such work within
thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay such costs.

limited to daily watering, silt fences, and seeding. The City Engineer may impose reason-
able measures to reduce dust at the site.
59. The Developer shall comply with the 1991 Wetlands Conservation Act, as amended.
60. It is the Developer’s responsibility to keep active and up to date the developer’s contract
and financial surety (e.g. Letter of Credit, etc.). These documents must remain active until
the developer has been released from any further obligation by City Council motion
received in writing from the City Engineer.
61. The Developer must provide to the City an irrevocable letter of credit for on-site improve-
ments to ensure that the developer will construct or install and pay for the following:

letter of credit. The City may draw down the security without prior notice for any default
of the development agreement. The minimum amount for this financial guarantee will
be included in the development agreement.
62. The Developer must post a cash escrow with the City’s Finance Director to cover engineer-
ing, legal, and administrative costs incurred by the City. If this non-interest bearing account
balance becomes deficient, the Developer must deposit additional funds. This must be
done before final bonding obligations are complete. This escrow amount will be included
in the development agreement.
63. The Developer must post a cash escrow with the City’s Finance Director to cover engineer-
ing costs and other City services, expenses, and materials provided in reviewing and pro-
cessing of the final plat, including but not limited to staff time, legal expenses, office and
field inspections, general inspections, and all other city staff services performed. This es-
crow amount will be included in the development agreement.
64. The Developer is responsible for establishing the final grades, topsoil, and seeding of all
the residential lots and boulevards within the subdivision. The developer and/or builder is
responsible for planting the one boulevard tree per lot and a second boulevard tree on the
corner side lot for corner lots after homes are constructed. The City Forester will mark the
location where the boulevard tree must be planted and approve the tree species to be
planted. The final landscape plan must be coordinated with the City Forester.

MEMORANDUM
Date:09/13/2019
To:Ryan Burfeind, PE
From:Mike Boex, PE
Subject: Ravine Meadows Plan Review
City of Cottage Grove, MN
Project No.: N14.119528
This memo summarizes the review of both grading documents and street & utility documents submitted
by Landform, dated 08/28/19 (received 09/04/19).
Sheet C0.1:
1.Identify any benchmarks and the horizontal and vertical datums used on the project.
2.Note that the City of Cottage Grove’s Standard Specifications for Street and Utility Construction
shall govern for all improvements on the project.
Sheet C0.2:
3.Additional drainage & utility easement is required in the rear of lot 12 block 1 adjacent to the
storm pipe from OCS 601 to the existing catch basin north of Ravine Parkway. Easement widths
should be a minimum width of twice the depth of pipe centered on the pipe. In this case, 10’
from the storm pipe appears sufficient. All other easement widths will be confirmed during final
design once design profiles are provided for the utilities.
Sheet C2.1:
4.The bituminous trail should be removed from Outlot A and along Military Road.
5.The Outlot area should be revised to encompass the proposed pond high-water level area. The
remainder of the lots along block 1 that are not adjacent to the pond can then be extended to
the plat line.
Sheet C3.1:
6.A plan/profile sheet shall be provided for the public street.
7.Provide a stop sign on Jeffery Avenue at Military Road.
8.The maximum grade approaching an intersection shall be 2.0% for 100-feet.
9.The minimum grade of greenspace drainage ways shall be 2%. The following do not appear to
meet the 2% minimum requirement:
a.The swale from the rear of lot 11 block 2 to the west and north
b.The swale from the rear of lot 12 block 2 to the west and north
H:\\COTT\\N14119528\\1_Corres\\C_ToOthers\\119528PlanReview2019-09-13.docx
Ravine Meadows Plan Review
Page: 2
c.The swale between lots 5 & 6 block 2
d.The drainage path along Military Road downstream of FES-300
10.More detail will be required on future submittals, such as:
a.Spot elevations on lot corners
b.Emergency overflows clearly labeled
c.Intersection details to clarify drainage patterns and grades
11.Identify park/open space marker installations on the plans. The City’s parks department will
provide locations.
12.Notes and a typical section should be provided detailing the material and depth of the filtration
basin media, liner, and proposed restoration. In addition, we assume the “Rain Garden” detail
on sheet L7.1 is intended for the filtration basin. Please coordinate terminology between plan
sheets and make the additional revisions per comment 42.
13.Note #19 on the plans should specify six inches of topsoil.
Sheet C4.1:
14.Final plans will require plan and profiles of utilities to understand utility cover across the length
of pipe, crossing locations, and clearances between crossings.
15.12” DIP watermain from Ravine Parkway should be extended through the site.
a.Provide a 12” butterfly valve in the middle of Jeffery Avenue to provide additional
isolation.
b.Extend the watermain beyond the storm sewer crossing near Military Road and
preferably north of the Military Road pavement within the right-of-way (evaluate if
construction limits will allow).
c.Design and note the restrained length of the dead-end 12” main.
d.Provide a blow-off per city detail WAT-8 at the end of the 12” main.
16.Numerous notes overlap in plan view and are not readable:
a.Storm and sanitary notes overlap at the MH-2 note.
b.Numerous watermain notes along block 2.
17.Please show service information on each lot (wye station, curb box elevation, sewer elevation at
upstream end of service, top of riser elevation if applicable).
18.CBMH-102 shall be a sump structure per city detail STO-6.
19.Since the lots along block 1 are to be extended to the eastern plat line, underground storm
sewer should be provided to the pond from FES-200.
a.Since the last structure in the street prior to a pond should contain a sump, CBMH-201
would also require a sump.
20.Public works does not wish to have submerged pond outlets. Provide a city-standard skimmer
structure per detail STO-16.
Ravine Meadows Plan Review
Page: 3
21.With the elimination of the trail from the outlot, a pond access/maintenance route should be
identified around the perimeter of the pond consistent with City detail STO-15. Grades down to
the maintenance bench should not exceed a 1:6 slope. This access route and maintenance
bench should be clearly depicted and labeled on the plans.
22.8” RCP pipe is not available, see comment #42a for additional comments.
23.A storm sewer structure schedule shall be provided which identifies structure diameter, casting,
applicable City Detail Plate number, and special notes such as sump depth as applicable.
24.The maximum velocity into a wet basin is 6-fps. The grade on the following segments and would
exceed the velocity requirement:
c.CBMH-601 to FES-600
d.CBMH-102 to MH-101; while 34’ of additional pipe to FES-100 is provided, it is
recommended that grade be reduced to manage velocity.
25.Provide 3’ minimum cover over storm pipe in street and 2’ min cover in greenspace. Profiles will
clarify if cover requirements are met.
26.Catch basins 202 and 203 appear close to the high point in the road. Evaluate the possibility to
shift both further south to capture additional drainage.
27.Since the trail along Military is being removed, the catch basin adjacent to it can be relocated.
28.Evaluate the possibility of picking up drainage along Military Road in the storm sewer on Jeffery
Avenue versus the culvert crossing.
29.Subwatershed 4s includes an area of 1.25 acres that is shown to flow off-site onto Ravine
Parkway. The City will verify that Ravine Parkway design accounted for treatment of site
stormwater.
30.It is preferred that storm pipe be placed within the roadway and locations are minimized behind
curb. Please add a manhole such that the pipes between CBMH-205 to CBMH-201 aren’t behind
cub.
Sheet C7.2:
31.Detail SER-7: identify on sheet C4.1 that only lot 1 block 2 and lot 12 block 1 are to utilize this
detail.
Sheet C7.4:
32.Add the following details:
a.Concrete hydrant pad detail (City Plate WAT-9)
b.Hydrant detail (WAT-1)
c.Gate vale (WAT-3)
d.Butterfly valve (WAT-4)
e.Dead end line (WAT-8)
f.Streetlight (LGT-2) and concrete base (LGT-7)
Ravine Meadows Plan Review

Sheet L2.1:
33.Boulevard trees should be located 5’ behind curb.
34.Trees should not be planted over utility pipes (storm sewer) or hinder access routes around the
ponds or to drainage structures. Please show pipe locations in plan view to demonstrate
clearance.
Sheet L7.1:
35.Remove the plantings from the raingarden detail. See comment #42 for further information.
Other:
36.A street lighting plan will be required with the final plans.
a.Residential lights should be approximately 200-250 feet apart located on lot lines and at
street intersections.
b.Streetlights should be located along the sidewalk side of the street.
c.Feed point cabinet locations and source of power should be identified on the plan.
d.Identify wire sizes on the plan. Wire to be placed in conduit (1.5-inch minimum NMC).
Stormwater:
37.Rational Storm Sewer Design:
a.Storm sewer should be sized to a 5-year rational method design. Submit rational
method design calculations for the storm sewer system. Please submit a drainage map
for each catchment. Include individual pipe segment velocities with calculations for
review.
38.Volume Control
a.The City requires a uniform volume control treatment equal to 1” of runoff from the net
increase in impervious areas. The Stormwater Management Plan indicates an area of
impervious surfaces of 3.30 acres proposed. The site includes existing impervious
surfaces of 0.68 acres, therefore, a Net Increase in impervious surfaces of 2.62 acres is
proposed. The volume control requirement is 9,504 cubic feet.
i.The area summary tables on Sheets C2.1 and C3.1 show existing and proposed
pervious and impervious areas different than are listed in the drainage area
maps and Stormwater Narrative. Please update the pervious and impervious
acreages shown to be consistent between the plans, drainage area maps and
stormwater narrative report.
39.Stormwater Modeling: A HydroCAD model was prepared of existing and proposed conditions.
a.The HydroCAD needs to include an off-site drainage area of approximately 10 to 11
acres that appears to contribute surface runoff from lands south of Military Road onto
the Northwest corner of the proposed development. The site topography shows a low
area near Block 2 Lots 13 and 14 where runoff from this off-site area may pond. Please
include the off-site drainage area in the hydrology and hydraulic calculations.
b.Subwatershed 1S includes 2 acres that are simulated to flow into the NURP pond. This
area is shown on Sheet C4.1 to be collected in catch basin 103 and routed in a storm

drain to the NURP pond. Since the proposed street has a 2% to 4% slope near this catch
basin, it seems plausible that a large part of the runoff may bypass the catch basin and
flow off site to Ravine Parkway. Please submit modeling or calculations to demonstrate
that the expected runoff to Catch basin 103 can be collected and conveyed to the NURP
pond.
c.The HydroCAD simulation of Pond P1 should be revised to simulate the NURP pond
water surface starting at the normal water level. The HydroCAD model appears to start
with an empty pond for each run and indicates no outflow from the NURP pond in a 2-
year storm. Please start each simulation with the pond at the normal pool elevation.
d.NOAA Atlas 14 Precipitation. The 2-year and 10-year 24-hour precipitation depths used
within the HydroCAD model match Atlas 14, but the simulated 100-year 24-hour
precipitation depth of 7.2 inches is a bit low. Please revise the existing and proposed
models using the Atlas 14 100-year 24-hour precipitation depth of 7.39 inches.
e.The HydroCAD models have instability problems—particularly in the 10-year and 100-
year simulations of the filtration basin. Please work to improve the model stability.
f.Please note that digital copies of the final version stormwater models and shapefiles or
CAD drawings of existing and proposed drainage areas are to be submitted to the City
once the review and revision process is complete.
40.Rate Control
a.The HydroCAD models have several issues to resolve, so please revise and update the
rate control analyses when the models are updated.
b.Rate Control: Table 1 in the Stormwater Narrative summarizes the existing and
proposed conditions peak flows in the 2-year, 10-year and 100-year design events. The
100-year proposed conditions peak flow of 19.31 cfs provides a unit discharge rate of
1.96 cfs/acre—this unit discharge exceeds the South Washington Watershed District
allowable unit rate of 1.3 cfs/acre for areas draining to the Central Draw Storage Facility.
Please revise the proposed stormwater basins to provide the additional rate control
needed to comply with the unit discharge rate of 1.3 cfs/acre.
41.Water Quality: The City requires that new development projects include BMPs that at a
minimum achieve post-development reductions in total phosphorus (TP) and total suspended
solids (TSS) by 50% and 80%, respectively. Watershed rules call for TP loading rate of 0.075
lbs./acre/year or existing loading rates, whichever is less, since the project site drains to Ravine
Lake. Please submit water quality model (MIDS, P8, etc.) results to demonstrate compliance
with the water quality standards.
For your information, if the P8 model is used, the South Washington Watershed District (SWWD)
Standards Manual Vol. 1 includes potential adjustments to the P8 model for a hypothetical
residential development within the SWWD (see Section 5.3.1.2 and the Appendix A Water
Quality Modeling Example). The Standards Manual is available at the link below:
https://www.swwdmn.org/pdf/sitereviews/StdsManualFinalDocument.pdf
The applicant is encouraged to propose and incorporate similar adjustments as applicable.

42.Filtration Basin:
a.Sheet C4.1 and the HydroCAD model indicate a 42-foot length of 8-inch diameter RCP as
the pipe connection between the NURP Pond and the filtration basin. For additional
capacity and reduced maintenance, please consider the use of a larger pipe for the
pond-to-filter connection such as a 15-inch diameter RCP.
b.A skimmer structure should be installed at the outlet from the NURP pond to the
filtration basin to prevent debris, organics, trash, hydrocarbons, oil & grease from
entering the filtration basin.
c.Clay Liner: Please show the clay liner for the NURP Pond and Filtration Basin on the
plans.
d.Please provide details for the filtration basin showing tile materials, sizes, elevations,
cleanouts and the thickness and composition of the filtration media. The City
recommends providing a minimum 18” filtration media composed of the following:
Filter Topsoil Borrow (MnDOT 3877.2.G) consisting of 70% sand (meeting the gradation
requirements of 3126) and 30% Grade 2 Compost (MnDOT 3890). Lower compost levels
have typically proved difficult when establishing vegetation in basins.
43.NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit: As this project disturbs more than 1 acre, an NPDES
Construction Stormwater Permit and SWPPP will be required.
