Re: Suite Living of Prior Lake
City Project No. DEV20-000002
WSB Project No. 10704-000
We have completed our secondary review of the site improvement plans submitted for Suite
Living of Prior Lake dated December 22, 2020 as prepared by CivilSite Group and submitted on
April 12, 2021.
• Full Arch. Set.pdf, March 11, 2020
• Permit Set.pdf, December 22, 2020
We have the following comments with regards to stormwater management and engineering.
Greyed out comments have been addressed. Red comments are new to this review. Comments
in standard text still apply.
General
1. Submit for and provide copies to the City of all required permits from regulatory agencies
(MCES, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, Minnesota Department of Health, NPDES,
etc.)
Stormwater Management
1. Rate Control
a. The proposed site is part of the larger Eagle Creek Estates development plan
and is accounted for in the original HydroCAD model as PROP DA J. The site
was designed for 2.13 acres of impervious; 0.9 acres of impervious are
proposed.
b. PROP DA J drains to NURP/infiltration basin G in the original HydroCAD model.
Per the proposed contours, it appears that a portion of the site runoff will flow
east towards Markley Lake, bypassing treatment. Provide a drainage area map
to confirm drainage patterns. Provide documentation and calculations that the
proposed drainage patterns will not increase rates from the site.
i. Per plans submitted in the second submittal, storm sewer has been
added to capture all runoff.
c. City of Prior Lake design standards have changed since the site was designed in
2013. The original design utilizes 2-, 10-, and 100-year rainfall depths of 2.80”,
4.20”, and 6.00” respectively. Rate control was calculated by considering
proposed discharge rates of 0.05 cfs per net acre for the 2-year event, 0.30 cfs

per net acre for the 10-year event, and not exceeding the existing runoff rate for
the 100-year event. Due to the design standard changes, provide calculations
and documentation proving that with the use of Atlas 14 rainfall events and the
proposed impervious amount within the drainage area, the runoff rates from the
updated proposed drainage area do not exceed the runoff rates from PROP DA J
in the original model. Under the new standards, Atlas 14 rainfall values of 2.84",
4.22", and 7.39" should be used to calculate the runoff rates for the 2-, 10-, and
100-year events and a rate increase is not allowed from the site from existing to
proposed conditions.
2. Volume control
a. Volume control requirements of 1.0” of abstraction over all of the new impervious
surfaces on site is met as indicated in the Eagle Creek Estates stormwater
management report. Proposed site impervious acreage is less than the
impervious design value.
3. Please provide a storm sewer structure in the southwest corner of the parking lot (near
the location of MH4) to capture all the runoff from the site into the storm sewer routed to
the stormwater basin.
Grading
1. Maximum 4:1 slopes are allowed in “maintained” areas with a maximum 3:1 slopes
allowed adjacent to natural resources.
a. There are areas of proposed grading east of the building that are greater than
3:1.
b. There are areas of proposed 3:1 grading south and east of the building in
apparent maintained areas.
2. Maintain minimum required 2% slopes for drainage swales around the north, east, and
south sides of the building.
3. Provide EOF elevations for all low point catch basins.
4. Show proposed contours covered by easement label southeast of the building.
5. There is a large area that channelizes and crosses the existing sidewalk draining to the
street south of the building.
a. Provide/identify drainage area.
b. Propose additional structure to capture drainage.
6. Show location and elevation of existing sidewalk.
Utilities
1. Identify limits of public and private sanitary sewer and water.
a. Provide an access easement to the hydrants and water shutoffs for the building
2. Provide the existing watermain stub pipe diameter.
a. If 8” diameter, extend 8” watermain to hydrant tee.
3. Provide whether a shutoff exists on the existing watermain stub.

a. If no existing shutoff exists, connect to the existing watermain directly with a gate
valve and provide the fitting used to bend the pipe alignment.
4. Provide separate fire and domestic services with separate shutoffs to the building.
5. Fire official to review hydrant spacing for coverage of the building as well as emergency
access shown in the inset on sheet C2.0.
6. Verify separation for the utility crossings where the water service is going over or under
the sanitary service or storm sewer pipes. Lower watermain/service and insulate as
necessary.
a. There is a crossing between the bottom of the storm sewer (~928.05) and top of
the water service (~927.55) that has a separation of ~0.5’
i. Lower water service to increase separation to 18” minimum and insulate
7. Install a sanitary manhole at the right of way to transition from 8” to 6” sanitary sewer and
for City inspection and monitoring.
8. Call out the storm sewer size, material, and slope on the utility plan. Ensure the minimum
size and slope of the storm sewer pipe used is 15-inch storm sewer at 0.5%.
9. Call out the storm sewer structure size, rim elevation, invert elevations on the utility plan.
10. Provide rational calculations to show that the storm sewer is designed for the 10-year 24-
hour rainfall event and that the receiving pipe has capacity to carry the flow.
a. Include a drainage area map for the runoff to each catch basin.
11. Replace details 4 and 5 with the City of Prior Lake's standard details for a standard catch
basin (Plate #301) and a storm sewer manhole (Plate #300).
12. All structures in the parking area should be concrete. Revise STMH 4.
13. Verify the existing storm sewer stub material and match it with the proposed connecting
storm sewer pipe material.
Roadway/Parking Area
1. Increase entrance radii to meet 25’ minimum requirement per Public Works Design
Manual and City Standard Plate #607
2. Is there an issue with not having a barrier for the length of ribbon curb for vehicles
distinguishing between the driving area and the sidewalk? Pedestrian safety, use of
bollards?
Miscellaneous
1. Show building style detail drawing.
2. Add the following notes and identifiers to the City of Prior Lake Erosion Control Notes
section on the erosion control plan:
a. Perimeter and downstream sediment control best management practices should
be installed by the contractor and inspected by the City prior to any site work.
b. Slopes greater than or equal to 3:1 shall have approved erosion control best
management practices installed immediately after finished grading.

3. Include applicable current Prior Lake City standard detail plates including detail plate 607
for Commercial, Industrial, and Multifamily Concrete Entrances
SWPPP
1. The SWPPP narrative mentions the construction of a stormwater pond. Please revise to
exclude as the site plan only indicates the construction of a building and a parking lot.
2. SWPPP must include a map of all surface waters, existing wetlands, and stormwater
ponds or basins that will receive stormwater from the constructed site. Please modify the
extents of the proposed SWPPP plan set to show the stormwater pond and Markley Lake
or provide arrows indicating the direction and distance to the surface water.
3. Call out inlet protection for the catch basins on Credit River Road downstream of the
project.
