Aggen, Real Estate Specialist United States Postal Service 6201 College Boulevard, Suite 400 Overland Park, KS 66211-2443 RE: Prior Lake Post Office Site Dear Mr. Aggen: The City of Prior Lake staff has attempted to review the plans submitted for the Prior Lake Post Office site. Unfortunately, the plans submitted were incomplete and inconsistent from one page to the next. In a meeting with Mr. Anthony Pini and Mr. Robert Sorensen on July 31, 2000, City staff were advised these plans were only a "10% progress layout" and were subject to change. At that meeting they presented another layout. A complete and consistent set of plans will be necessary before City staff can provide you with a thorough review. However, I am providing comments based on the information we have received so far. Attached are memorandums from Building Official Robert Hutchins and City Engil~eer Sue McDermott identifying building code and engineering issues. The following are the Planning and Zoning issues: . This site is subject to the Tre"" Preservation requirements of the Zoning Ordinance \\ u4- (see attached). This require$ an inventory of the significant caliper inches on the JO site, and identification of the trees and caliper inches to be removed. The Ordinance allows removal of up to 25% of the significant caliper inches without replacement. Anything above that must be replaced at the rate of 1/2" for each 1" removed. If necessary, a tree replacement plan must also be submitted. . This site is subject to the Landscaping requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The number of trees required for perimeter landscaping is one tree per 40' of linear perimeter or one tree per 1,000 square feet of gross floor area, whichever is greater.

" PRESENT: A meeting between CMA staff and consultants and City of Prior Lake Staff was held July 31 at the Prior Lake Maintenance Facility to review the present situation of the United States Postal Service post office project. The group discussed the current site plan as it had been presented to USPS on July 20, as a '10% progress' layout. Differences between the 10% layout and the earlier layouts provided the city were noted. Discussions began with the question ofthe city's proposed 'ring road'. Osmanson reported the city council had not yet authorized the preparation of an outside consultant feasibility study; it was estimated such a report would take some 1 to 2 months to complete. There is a (politically) sensitive property east of Toronto Avenue consideration of which has delayed the alignment of the 'Ring Road'. Additionally, there is some possibility of a project by the Park-Nicollet Clinic, east of the subject property, for which the council is waiting, prior to proceeding with the 'ring road'. Osmanson stated his belief that the feasibility report will be accomplished within the next six months. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #6 August 8, 2000 Page 2 It was remarked that construction of the 'Ring Road must be begun prior to January 2001 in order to be able to use available state aid funding for the work. It was noted this provides the city with approximately three months to complete construction documents. Osmanson stated the city mayor (not) be able to have an alignment for the north (center) portion of the ring road in time for construction bidding. He and McDermott indicated (and later in the meeting affirmed) they will have prepared a preliminary 'ring road'alignment around the northwest comer of the postal site within a few weeks. Osmanson indicated the city's current thinking as intending to utilize a portion of Duluth Avenue along the west side of the postal site, cutting the comers at the northwest and southwest, in order to reduce the amount of property the city must acquire. It was noted that if a reliable alignment of the north section of the ring road is not available, the north lot access must be shown to Duluth Street in order to provide direction to contractors bidding the postal project. Pini requested the alignment to be developed by the city, extend at least to I past the center of the north line of the site, since there may be a large grade difference between the USPS lot and the future road. It was noted that changes in design of the lot access during or after construction would entail additional construction and design costs to USPS. Sorensen indicated he has, and will again, discuss with USPS the question of connections from the north parking lot to the 'ring road' and I or Duluth Street. The possibility of putting notes on the documents to notify contractors of a potential street change was mentioned; Sorensen indicated since the drawings presently underway are contruction documents, such a note would not aid in defining the contracted-for work, and should not be considered. The actions ofthe watershed district board were discussed. Pini reported he was 'on top' of the items (primarily minor 'housekeeping' points) listed by the watershed district board when tabling the USPS submittal earlier. The question of the prospective 'downstream' water treatment reservoir to be provided by the city to provide for treatment of water from the west side of the USPS site was discussed. Osmanson suggested he would meet with Paul Nelson of the watershed district to review the proposed method of handling the water off-site. The city staff persons indicated their belief there would be no major problem obtaining district approval. Pini will submit the additional data required to perfect the submittal to the district. ~ The southeast pond (pond number 2) was discussed; it was agreed that neither CMA nor the city need interface with the developers off site to the east regarding water control, but that the pond will be constructed by USPS as a matter of mutual benefit to USPS and the city. Access to the pond will be agreed between USPS, the city and the developers as their interests may appear, separate from the wetland I pond construction process. Kansier indicated she believes the city attorney and USPS have been in contact regard the question of easements on the pond. Kansier mentioned the possibility the city may request easements over the entire wetland area. Hutchins stated he had several comments from the fire department regarding the site layout. The fire department would like a PIV located a distance away from the building equal to the building height (20'); present city fire hydrants do not provide the distance to all parts of the building or to the building sprinkler system inlets required by city codes. It was generally agreed that a solution would be to locate a hydrant and PIV in the south (employee) parking lot in a closed off parking space. It was noted it appears somewhat difficult to get a fire pumper into the south parking area; CMA will 'fool around' with the entrances to ease access (the maximum width of curb cut for commercial work was noted as 30'). McDermott, Osmanson and Hartman agreed it is possible and permissible to 'wet tap' the existing 30" water line running across the south of the property. Kansier mentioned the Metropolitan Council sewer and water access charges ('SAC and WAC') and a city 'water tower' charge; she indicated there may be a Met Council storm water 'area charge'. Sorensen will pass the information on to USPS. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #6 August 8, 2000 Page 3 There was discussion of the size and possible necessity to rebuild one of the two sanitary manholes to the south side of the building; it was noted in passing that the city does not permit inside drops within its manholes. McDermott will verify which is the undersized manhole and notify Pini. After some discussion of the lightweight fill in the southwest comer of the site, it was agree that since it has supported Tower street in the years since its installation, it is probably acceptable under the USPS parking lots. It was noted that all the curb and gutter in the area of the rubber fill contain reinforcing and therefore should be cut rather than being lifted in jointed sections. Kansier noted the preliminary landscape plans indicated 11/2" caliper trees while city code requires 2 1/2"; Kansier requested copies of the 30% drawings when they are ready. Sorensen indicated the preliminary plans indicated only landscaping related to the wetland modification, and that the west area across from Rl zoning will be additionally landscaped. Kansier noted the city requires comer vision triangles of 50' sides. ACTION REQUIRED Osmanson and McDennottto prepare an initial 'Ring Road' alignment at the postal site Sorensen to discuss the implications of additional costs for the question of north lot access and potential charges / assessments with USPS The aoovenotes represent the author's understanding of the discussions reported.

The following are recommendations for the building pertaining to the Fire Code requirements. Our review was based on the 1998 Minnesota State Fire Code (MSFC) which adopted with amendments the 1997 Uniform Fire Code (UFC). . Buildings with a sprinkler system require one hydrant within 150 feet of the fire department connection and a hydrant( s) within 300 feet of all portions of the exterior. It appears one Fire Hydrant should be added by the front of the Building to meet this requirement. The fire PLPOSTOF.DOC .. department connection shall be located on the front of the building. The Post Indicator Valve (PN) must be located a minimum of the height ofthe building away. · All hydrants shall be accessible to the fire department apparatus by roadways meeting above requirements. Hydrants shall be located within 5 feet of the curb so that apparatus can pull along side for the connection. · Provide fire lanes for fire apparatus response. Signage should read: ''No Parking Fire Lane by order of the Fire Department." Location and number to be determined. · Provide numbers of addresses in such a way to be plainly visible from the street or road fronting the property per UFC Section 901. Numbers shall contrast with their background. · Provide approved key box to be installed in accessible location per UFC Section 902. This is required when access to a structure is unduly difficult or where immediate access is necessary for life safety or fire fighting purposes. Key boxes shall contain keys to gain necessary access. Key boxes also recommended for building where entry may be delayed and to prevent damage as result of forcible entry. Obtain order forms from the Building Inspection Department. · Submit 8-112 x 11 inch site plan for development of emergency response plan. This is a preliminary review only. Other code items will be addressed when the final plans are submitted. The building plans must be reviewed by the Cites Developmental Review Committee (DRC) which consists of representatives of Planning, Engineering, Parks, Finance, and Building Departments. The DRC must approve the plans before Utility hookup and Sewer and Water permits can be issued.

DATE: July 24, 2000 TO: Jane Kansier, Planning Coordinator FROM: Sue McDermott, City Engineer?~ RE: US Postal Service Site Plan Review (Project #34-00) The Engineering Department has reviewed the plans for the subject project and we have the following comments: 1. The site layout conflicts with the plans for the proposed Ring Road. 2. The southernmost driveway off of Duluth is too close to the intersection. This driveway should line up with Maplewood Street. 3. Private storm sewer system is located in a drainage and utility easement as well as the area containing lightweight fill. No excavation is to take place in the lightweight fill area. 4. Show baffled weir details in the plans. 5. Call out class and quantity of rip rap at each flared end. 6. All manholes will have to be adjusted to grade which will require additional concrete sections at two of the sanitary manholes and one of the storm manholes. g:\projects\2000\3usps\reviewl.doc -'"'...--:'..;.:',.".:.'.-.....:;:...;.~;'"'~~...,....:;..~_,....;.;....'C(..~-~l:;~:.:........"'-"';~~-""""~"-_' _-...;;.. ,.~w,.."~""-~,:'""...,,;.L.'::,r;.;,~~~.~..~,...'~~.;.;....;..k..,~....~-;,,,,~'::.,;.,;...,.;"'..........,..."'-~,.f'>.b-..--..'7,,,...->~_..:._~ ,_,<..."',<,.....;l-,;...._...-...-,;._.....~-'......:...."'_,_~.:-....;.,..;..,....,'""~...,,.,.

This e-mail is principally for Steve, with copies intended for Frank, Jane, Sue and Don. Obviously I hit the wrong key and the e-mail is going to all of you as an original. Steve, we exchanged voice mails last week before I left for California concerning the need to have you prepare an easement for the Stoneface/Post Office project. I believe this is one of the projects I diagramed for you when we met. Let me briefly describe the facts, in order for you to prepare an easement that protects the City and does what it needs to do to protect the City. If I misstate any of the facts or leave out any important facts please feel free to contact Steve directly, but please provide me with a copy. Steve--a developer has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to construct an apartment building. In considering the project, the Council expressed concerns about several issues, including a retaining wall, parking and storm water management. The Council is concerned about the storm water drainage issue. The apartment project is located across the street from a parcel of land that is under option to the Post Office (closing is almost certain). The Post Office has agreed to provide the developer and City with an easement to allow the storage of storm water on their property. When the Post Office constructs its facility it will oversize a holding pond and the size of an outlet pipe. The City will also be draining some water into the pond and that is why the City needs to also be a party to the easement. I'm not sure if the easement should run to the benefit of the public, I seek your advise on that matter. Additionally, both the City and developer will be compensating the Post Office for use of their pond and overriding their pipe. Does the easement need to contain any language about reimbursement or compensation. As I told you last week, we need a draft easement to provide to the Post Office. The draft will be a working draft or a starting point. Once we provide it to the real estate person at the Post Office, Mr. Aggies, I anticipate you will eventually need to have direct discussions with Mr. Aggies. ******************************************************************************** This message and any attachments may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

REPLY TO JUL - 7 2000 ATTENTION OF Construction-Operations Regulatory (00-05194-LP-GAE) Mr. John Luttig U.S. Postal Service 6201 College Boulevard. Suite 400 Overland Park, Kansas 66211 Dear Mr. Luttig: Authority is hereby granted for the U.S. Postal Service to grade and fill 0.38 acre of an isolated, shallow marsh-Type 3, wetland to facilitate the development of a 4.5 acre parcel for postal services. The project site is in the S 1/2 of Section 2, T. 114 N., R. 22 W., of Scott County, at Prior Lake, Minnesota. The authorized work is to be done as shown on the enclosed drawings labeled 5194GAE1 and 5194GAE2 which are hereby incorporated as part of this Letter of Permission. This authorization is issued under the provisions of GP/LOP-98-MN (MN LOP-C) . This action is based upon the recommendation of the Chief of Engineers and under the provisions of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). The authorization is subject to the enclosed Generpl, Standard, and following Special Conditions: 1. As mitigation for the proposed wetland alteration work, the permittee shall provide the St. Paul District, Corps of Engineers, with written documentation or evidence that it has purchased 0.40 acre of in-kind (Type 3) wetland mitigation credit from the Sibley 1 Wetland Bank. This bank has been approved by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources and the Corps of Engineers and is owned and operated by Mr. Michael Mueller at a site in Section 22, T. 113 N. ,R. 30 W., of Sibley County, Minnesota. 2. The permittee shall provide proof of purchase of wetland credits by submitting the appropriate documentation or receipt of credits for this project to the Corps of Engineers prior to or concurrent with the proposed placement of fill material in the wetland. The documentation shall not only, include the name and locp.tion of the bank, but the beginning and ending balance of wetland credits that remain in the bank, by wetland type, at the conclusion of this transaction. 3. If the permittee is unable to purchase wetland mitigation credit as required in Special Condition 1, it shall contact the Corps of Engineers prior to the start of work and ..:__.:~~-?~, U. f ~ Prinled on .~ Recycled Paper ", . . '. . . provide a mitigation plan for replacement of the wetland acreage lost as a result of this project, 4, The permittee shall take all necessary precautions to minimize soil erosion and sediment loading of the remaining wetland on the property during the construction of the proposed facility. Sedimentation and erosion control devices shall be used during construction activities to prevent siltation of the wetland. 5. If the borrow material for the proposed development is to come from a site other than an approved, licensed facility, the permittee shall inform the Corps of Engineers of the location of the borrow area or source of the fill material at ~east five days before commencing work. 6. To protect and maintain the integrity and environmental values associated with the remaining wetland on the property, the permittee shall not use this wetland as a stormwater management basin. An upland stormwater management system, located outside the limits of this wetland shall be constructed by the permittee for this purpose. Where stormwater pond(s) will be constructed in an upland area adjacent to the remaining wetland on site, the following construction methods/procedures shall be used: a. The stormwater pond shall be designed and maintained as a wet detention stormwater management system constructed to meet National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit outflow rates, which is 5.66 cubic feet per second (cfs) or meet the Walker 60% P removal, i.e. contain the total volume of the runoff from a 2.5 inch storm, before discharge to the wetland. b. The stormwater pond discharge to the wetland shall be designed to cause no more bounce in water level of the existing wetland than would be considered acceptable for a ten year storm event in relation to the relative susceptibility of wetlands to stormwater impacts as specified in the document, "Storm-Water and Wetlands: Planninq and Evaluation Guidelines for Addressinq Potential Impacts of Urban Storm-Water and Snow-Melt Runoff on Wetlands" prepared by the State of Minnesota Storm- Water Advisory Group, dated 1997. 7. The permittee shall apply to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for coverage under a general National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for construction activities specifically requiring Best Management Practices (BMP) to control erosion during construction and a stormwater management plan to manage pollutants in stormwater runoff from the site that will occur after construction is complete. The NPDES permit requires that these BMP be prepared for the project and incorporated into the plans and specifications prior to the start of construction. The ... . . individual to contact at MPCA concerning this matter is Mr. Lawrence Zdon at (651) 297-8219. The time limit for completing this authorized work ends January 31, 2005 OR two years from the date of this letter, whichever occurs later. This Federal authorization does not permit you to commence the proposed activity without first obtaining any necessary State and/or local permits. If this letter of permission is not acceptable and you would like to appeal the permit decision, please follow, the directions in paragraph 2 of the enclosed Notification of Applicant Options.

As a general rule, all discharges of fill or dredged material into any wetland or water area require a Section 404 permit from the Corps of Engineers. Persons proposing such work should especially note that, in ALL cases including the non-reporting general permits, GP/LOP- 98-MN requires that adverse impacts on water and wetland resources be avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practical. Discharges that would adversely affect Federal endangered plant or animal species or certain cultural or archaeological resources, or that would ,impinge or abrogate reserved Native American treaty rights including, but not limited to, reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights, are not eligible for authorization under GP/LOP-98-MN. The St. Paul District WWW site (http://www.mvp.usace.army.mil) will contain information that is helpful for applicants. General Conditions. 1. The time limit for completing work authorized by the GP provisions of GP/LOP-98-MN ends upon the expiration date of GP/LOP-98-MN. The time limit for completing work authorized by the LOP provisions herein ends upon the expiration date of GP/LOP-98-MN or two years after the date of the Corps authorization of the work under GP/LOP- 98-MN, whichever occurs later. If you find that you need more time to complete the authorized activity, submit your request for a time extension to this office for consideration at least three months before the expiration date is reached. 2. You must maintain the activity authorized by GP/LOP-98-MN in good condition and in conformance with the terms and conditions of this permit. You are not relieved of this requirement if you abandon the permitted activity, although you may make a good faith transfer to a third party. Should you wish,to cease to maintain the authorized activity or should you desire to abandon it without a good faith transfer, you must obtain a modification of this permit from this office, which may require restoration of the area. . GP/LOP-98-MN CONDITIONS 3. If you discover any previously unknown historic or archaeological remains while accomplishing the activity' authorized by GP/LOP-98-MN, you must immediately stop work and notify this office of what you have found. We will initiate the Federal and state coordination required to determine if the remains warrant a recovery effort or if the site is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. 4. You must allow representatives from this office to inspect the authorized activity at any time deemed necessary to ensure that it is being or has been accomplished in accordance with the terms and conditions of GP/LOP-98-MN. 5. Refer to the GP/LOP-98-MN Standard Conditions at the end of this document. Further Information : 1. Congressional Authorities: You have been authorized to undertake the activity described above pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1344). 2. Limits of this authorization. a.

GPlp-98-MN CONDITIONS (ContinU! Standard Conditions. In addition to the preceding general conditions, GP/LOP-98-MN authoriza- tions are subject to the following standard conditions, as applicable. These conditions must be satisfied for any GP/LOP-98 authorization, both GPs and LOPs, including the non-reporting GPs, to be valid: 1. Compliance Certification. Under all LOP authorizations of GP/LOP-98-MN authorizations, the permittee must submit a compliance certification to the St. Paul District within 30 days of completion of the work. The District will include a certification form with its authorization letters. Permittees may also obtain this form by contacting the St. Paul District. This requirement does not apply to GP authorizations under GP/LOP-98-MN. 2. Case-by-caseconditions. The activity must comply with any special conditions which may have been added by the District or by a state, tribe, or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its section 401 water quality certification or consistency determination under the Coastal Zone Management Act. Such conditions will be specifically identified in any LOP issued for the project. 3. Mitigation/Sequencing. Discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States must be minimized or avoided to the maximum extent practicable, unless the District approves a compensation. plan that the District determines is more beneficial to the environment than minimization or avoidance measures. 4. StateITribal Water Quality certification and Coastal ~ management (CZM) consistency determination. Some GP/LOP-98-MN authorizations may not be valid unless and until an individual Section 401 water quality certification or CZM consistency determination is obtained from or waived by the appropriate agency. If this condition applies, it will be so noted in the District letter of permission. 5. Suitable material. No discharge of dredged or fill material may consist of unsuitable material (e.g., trash, debris, car bodies, asphalt, etc.,) and material discharged must be free from toxic pollutants in toxic amounts (see Section 307 of the Clean Water Act). 6. Proper maintenance. Any structure or fill authorized shall be properly maintained, including maintenance to ensure public safety. 7. Erosion and siltation controls. Appropriate erosion and siltation controls must be used and maintained in effective operating condition during construction, and all exposed soil and other fills, as well as any work below the ordinary high water mark must be permanently stabilized at the earliest practicable date. Work should be done in accordance with state-approved, published practices, such as defined in Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Document, PROTECTING WATER QUALITY IN URBAN AREAS: BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES FOR MINNESOTA. 8. Removal of temporary fills. Any temporary fills must be removed in their entirety and the affected areas returned to their preexisting elevation. 9. Endangered Species. a. No activity is authorized which is likely to jeopardize the continued existence of a threatened or endangered species or a species proposed for such designation, as identified under the Federal Endangered Species Act, or which is likely to destroy or adversely modify the critical habitat of such species. Non-federal permittees shall notify the District if any listed species or critical habitat might be affected or is in the vicinity of the project, and shall not begin work on the activity until notified by the District that the requirements of the Endangered Species Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. b. Authorization of an activity under GP/LOP-98 does not authorize the take of a threatened or endangered species as defined under the Federal Endangered Species Act. In the absence of separate authorization (e.g., an ESA Section 10 Permit, a Biological Opinion with incidental take provisions, etc.) from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the National Marine Fisheries Service, both lethal and non-lethal takes of protected species are in violation of the Endangered Species Act. Information Page 2 of 3 on the location of threatened and endangerec:jspecies and their critical habitat can be obtained directly from the offices of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service or their world wide web pages on the Internet. c. If it becomes apparent that a Federally listed endangered plant or animal species will be affected by work authorized by this permit, work must be stopped immediately and the St. Paul District of the Corps of Engineers must be contacted for further instruction. 10. Historic properties, cultural resources. No activity which may affect historic properties listed, or eligible for listing, in the National Register of Historic Places is authorized, until the District has complied with the provisions of 33 CFR Part 325, Appendix C. The prospective permittee must include notification to the District in the permit application if the authorized activity may affect any historic properties listed, determined to be eligible, or which the prospective permittee has reason to believe may be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places, and shall not begin the activity until notified by the District that the requirements of the National Historic Preservation Act have been satisfied and that the activity is authorized. Information on the location and existence of historic resources can be obtained from the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Register of Historic Places. 11. Spawning !!!!!!!. Discharges in spawning areas during spawning seasons must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. 12. Obstruction of high flows. To the maximum extent practicable, discharges must not permanently restrict or impede the passage of normal or expected high flows or cause the relocation of the water (unless the primary purpose of the fill is to impound waters). 13. Adverse effects from impoundments. If the discharge Creates an impoundment of water, adverse effects on the aquatic system caused by the accelerated passage of water and/or the restriction of its flow shall be minimized to the ma~imum extent practicable. GPlp-9S-MN CONDITIONS (ContinU! 14. Waterfowl breeding areas. Discharges into breeding areas for migratory waterfowl must be avoided to the maximum extent practicable. 15. Navigation. No activity may cause more than a minimal adverse effect on navigation. 16. Aquatic life movements. No activity may substantially disrupt the movement of those species of aquatic life indigenous to the waterbody, including those species which normally migrate through the area, unless the activity's primary purpose is to impound water. 17. Equipment. Heavy equipment working in wetlands must be placed on mats, or other measures must be taken to minimize soil disturbance. 18. Tribal rights. No activity or its operation may impinge or abrogate reserved treaty rights, including, but not limited to, reserved water rights and treaty fishing and hunting rights. 19. Wild and Scenic Rivers. No activity may occur in a component of the N.ational ,Wild and Scenic River System; or in a river officially designated by Congress as a "study river" for possible inclusion in the system, while the river is in an official study status; unless the appropriate Federal agency, with direct management responsibility for such river, has determined in writing that the proposed activity will not adversely effect the Wild and Scenic River designation, or study status. Information on Wild and Scenic Rivers may be obtained from the appropriate Federal land management agency in the area (e.g., National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.) 20. Water Quality standards. All work or discharges to a watercourse resulting from permitted construction activities, particularly hydraulic dredging, must meet applicable Federal, State, and local water quality and effluent standards on a continuing basis. 21. Preventive measures. Measures must be adopted to prevent potential pollutants from entering the watercourse. Construction materials and debris, including fuels, oil, and other liquid substances, will not be stored in the construction area in a manner that would allow them to enter the watercourse as a result of spillage, natural runoff, or flooding. 22. Disposal sites. If dredged or excavated material is placed on an upland disposal sight (above the ordinary high-water mark), the site must be securely diked or contained by some other acceptable method that prevents the return of potentially polluting materials to the watercourse by surface runoff or by leaching. The containment area, whether bulkhead or upland disposal sight, must be fully completed prior to the placement of any dredged material. 23. Erosion control. Upon completion of earthwork operations, all exposed slopes, fills, and disturbed areas must be given sufficient protection by appropriate means such as landscaping, or planting and maintaining vegetative cover, to prevent subsequent erosion. Coffer dams shall be constructed and maintained so as to. prevent erosion into the water. If earthen material is used for coffer dam construction, sheet piling, riprapor a synthetic cover must be used to prevent dam erosion. 24. Suitable fill material. All fill (including riprap),' if authorized under this permit, must consist of suitable material free from toxic pollutants in other then trace quantities. In addition, rock or fill material used for activities dependent upon this permit and obtained by excavation must either be obtained from existing quarries or, if a new borrow site is opened up to obtain fill material, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) must be notified prior to the use of the new site. Evidence of this consultation with the SHPO will be forwarded to the St. Paul District Office. 25. Cultural resources. If cultural, archaeological, or historical resources are unearthed during activities authorized by this permit, work must be stopped immediately and the State Historic Preservation Officer must be contacted for further instruction. 26. Water intakes/activities. An investigation must be made to identify water intakes or other activities that may be affected by suspended solids Page 3 of 3 and turbidity increases caused by work in the watercourse. Sufficient notice must be given to the owners of property where the activities would take place to allow them to prepare for any changes in water quality. 27. Spill contingency plan. A contingency plan must be formulated that would be effective in the event of a spill. This requirement is particularly applicable in operations involving the handling of petroleum products. If a spill of any potential pollutant should occur, it is the responsibility of the permittee to remove such material, to minimize any contamination resulting from this spill, and to immediately notify the State Duty Officer at 1-800-422- 0798 and the U.S. Coast Guard at telephone number 1-800-424-8802. 28. Other permit requirements. No Corps GP/LOP-98-MN authorization eliminates the need for other local, state or Federal authorizations, including but not limited to National Pollutant . Discharge Elimination System (NPDESI or State Disposal System .ISDSI permits from the Minnesota Pollution Control . Agency. 29. State Section 401 Certification Conditions. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCAI has certified GP/LOP-98-MN on the conditipn that activities are conducted in accordance with all applicable provisions of Minnesota Rule 7001.0150, subp. 3. As required by Federal regulation, this condition is incorporated as a condition of GP/LOP-98-MN. " _-A .

Huemoeller Huemoeller & Bates 16670 Franklin Trail Prior Lake, MN 55372-2924 RE: Tower & Toronto Prior Lake, MN Dear Ms. Kansier and Mr. Huemoeller: As you know, the Postal Service plans to purchase the Boderman site on the north side of Tower Street between Duluth and Toronto Avenues. This letter summarizes the Postal Service position about stormwater matters. The Postal Service has reviewed stormwater data in the course of preparing its wetland alteration and replacement applications. Based upon existing on-site grades, preliminary grading plans, and preliminary calculations involving off-site stormwater, and based upon Postal Service needs for using the entire site, the Postal Service is prepared to physically accommodate approximately 100% of the rate control requirements and approximately 60% of the water quality requirements of certain off- site lands. The Postal Service has allowed for these maximum impacts from off-site lands in its wetland applications. If the need is less, then so much the better. At present 2.89 acres are drained through a 15 inch storm sewer that traverses the vacant Soderman site. Following conversations between City engineers and Postal Service consultants, I understand this stormwater feature will remain unchanged. As such it is only marginally relevant to the remaining issues we all face. The drainage of 8.53 additional acres near the Tower and Toronto intersection requires attention. This area includes what I have come to know as the Stonegate development. It is this area that is the subject of the our future discussions. While the Postal Service is prepared to accommodate the approximate quantities mentioned above, the terms of such accommodation need to be the subject of further discussions. Those conversations will logically include timing, documentation, compensation and financial security for the same. The Postal Service's future general contractor can 6201 COLLEGE BOULEVARD SUITE 400 OVERLAND PARK KS 66211-2443 (913) 266-2452 WRITER'S DIRECT LINE FAX (913) 266-2510 . , Page 2 Tower & Toronto Prior Lake, MN make those improvements upon the site that the Postal Service plans to purchase. Off- site improvements should be made under the direction of another party. City Attorney, Suesan Pace, indicates that she will forward a draft easement containing the basic terms expected for such a transaction. I look forward to receipt of the draft. I will continue to be the principal contact on all of these issues. Please contact me with any concerns or questions. Please note our new address and telephone numbers on the previous page.

M. Gautreaux, Postal Inspector Gayle Ozment, Postmaster Frank Boyles, Prior Lake Bob Hutchins, Prior Lake Bud Osmundson, Prior Lake Jane Kansier, Prior Lake Anthony Pini, Van Sickle Allen Patrick G. Blees, CM Architecture, P.A. BY: Patrick Blees The meeting was held to discuss and seek resolution regarding city review comments. See attached copy of those comments. The Architect noted the following items. CITY OF PRIOR LAKE CORRESPONDENCE dated February 12.2001 1. The landscaping plan will be revised to include the additional three (3)- 2-1/2" caliper trees. 2. Fencing is not allowed by city ordinance in front yard setbacks. Since the property will front on streets on all sides (after the completion of the ring road) the fences are objectionable to the city. The USPS stated that this issue is important to them and fencing is necessary due to the fact that Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #9 March 28, 2001 Page 2 public access, for children playing on site, is a pattern from the past. The USPS stated that they will review and provide more aesthetic design solutions for city review. City staff is willing to consider a fence in these areas given further design consideration. It was suggested that more opacity (50%) and use of brick walls and ornamental fencing would be preferred. At this time the south side has ornamental fence and the north side has chain-link. 3. The City requested some added shrubbery and trees along the north property line and offered to consider some city landscaping on the new ring road right-of-way as a possible addition to the project. This will be considered by the USPS. 4. P. Blees provided one copy of the exterior lighting plan to J. Kansier, with footcandle levels noted. She said that the levels must not exceed 1.0 footcandle at the property line, but said that the plan, as presented was acceptable. There are two locations where the 1.0 footcandle line passes over the north property line. 5. The USPS provided rough information regarding the sign sizes and they are acceptable to the City. CITY OF PRIOR LAKE INTEROFFICE MEMO dated February 2, 2001: 1. POST OFFICE DRIVEWAY ACCESSES 6. The City has requested changes to the driveway locations and curb cuts based on the ring road preliminary plan. This redesign effort should be acceptable to the USPS but the redesign will likely not be accomplished until the ring road design is further developed. CITY OF PRIOR LAKE INTEROFFICE MEMO: RIGHT-OF-W A Y/EASEMENTS 7. There was much discussion regarding vacating and dedicating easements. The City would prefer to do all of the easement changes at one time. Easements requested or required include: Major utility easement on the southwest comer of the site (existing), Major drainage easement on the east half of the site (modified from the current easement), small easement on the northwest corner to accommodate the curve of the ring road (new), easement for new storm pipe being installed by the USPS and carrying water from off-site (new) and vacation of easements that run north-south through the center of the site. The city requested a formal application for the easement changes and stated that they would define the legal descriptions for the easement areas they are requesting and graphic representations of the changes requested. The City suggested that the easement changes should be accomplished prior to start of construction. CITY OF PRIOR LAKE INTEROFFICE MEMO: UTILITIES 8. Storm drainage issues were discussed with the following noted: 9. Item three on the comments is not an issue as the pipe referenced is existing to remain. 10. The storm pipe that runs across the dock maneuvering area will become City property and will require a new easement. There are 4 catch basin structures along this and downstream pipes that are an issue with the watershed district. The district has indicated that the two new structures and two existing downstream structures need to be sumps for collection of sediment. The City will review this with the watershed district to see if the existing structures could remain as is. This issue was apparently a condition of the watershed approval that was granted for the project. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #9 March 28, 2001 Page 3 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE MEMORANDUM dated January 17.2001 11. Fire lane/no parking signs will be added on the two curbed islands near the new hydrant. 12. The City will designate an address number and the USPS will include the required sign over the main entry. 13. CMA will clarify the water meter size for fee purposes. 14. P. Blees indicated that Jody Edwards ofMCES indicated a preliminary calculation of 5 SAC units. 15. The USPS will not provide a key box on the outside of the building. The City will accept this. 16. CMA will specify signs placed at 100 foot intervals around the east half of the property indicating "U.S. Property, No trespassing. 17. The City expects that the ring road will be constructed during the 2002 construction season. This Memorandum documents the author's understanding of the items discussed during the meeting.

BY: Robert Sorensen , .' .. . A meeting was held at the Prior Lake Minnesota municipal office building on April 6,2000 for the purpose of coordinating Postal Service building planning and the city's planning for construction of an adjacent 'ring road'. The meeting was attended by representatives of the City of Prior Lake, representatives of the Postal Service, the city's consultant for wetland submittals (BRW), the Postal Service consulting architect (CMA) and the consulting architect's civil engineering consultant (V AA). The primary points to be addressed included the alignment of the proposed 'ring road' adjacent to the prospective future Postal Service property, wetland replacement on the property, storm drainage, utility relocation and easement vacations, and zoning requirements. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #1 Apri16,2000 Page 2 1. Municipal engineering has scheduled construction of the proposed ring road in three segments, the first, adjacent to the prospective postal property, to be built in 2001, the remainder of the road to be built in subsequent years. 2. The 'ring road planning at this date has not proceeded past conceptual design; several layouts have been presented to the city council which approved Layout No. 2 be developed. That concept was refered to at this meeting. 3. Utility lines in the old Tower Street easement at the southwest corner of the postal site can be relocated, except the 20" water line, which serves too large an area to be moved. 4. The 30" storm sewer draining the SW corner area of the postal site runs west and eventually north to empty into Prior Lake. 5. The southwest corner portion of the Postal site, south of the old Tower Street RO.W. was filled 6-7' in depth sometime in the past, with a 'lightweight fill' comprised of ground tires. 6. The city has a need to remediate a storm water condition at the intersection of Toronto and Tower streets (surface water flow down adjacent streets to the intersection, then down Tower). The suggestion was made that the city and USPS coordinate the respective projects. 7. The watershed district currently requires control of quality and rate flow of runoff, but is working on volume control requirements. Storm water controls on-site are preferred. 8. Wetland banking I credit registration and exchange is recorded and approved by the state. Existing or constructed wetlands are approved by the state for inclusion in the state-recorded 'bank'; once agreement is reached for the purchase I sale of wetland credits between individual parties, the transaction is recorded by the state. Once the wetland is reviewed and accepted by the state, the process becomes an administrative transfer. 9. The area within which wetland credits would be accepted as substitute for wetland construction for the Prior Lake postal site comprises the Shakopee basin. 10. 75% of the surface area of runoff control ponding, in excess of existing wetland area, can be counted as the equivalent of wetland for remediation credit purposes. If wetland is reconstructed, credit is available for the area of associated upland buffer provided II. Termination of the Postal Service consideration of this site is July II, 2000. To allow time for review, wetland permit documents should be submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers in early May . 12. It was agreed a submittal to the watershed district should be made concurrently with or prior to the submittal to the Corps, since modification of the wetland proposal could require an entirely new submittal (rather than ~". merely a modification). 13. The question of storm runoff control in the vicinity of Tower and Toronto probably looms larger to the city council, than the wetland mitigation issue. Wetland replacement by credits for near to 100% of the remediation requirement would probably be acceptable to the city in consideration of a joint storm runoff control situation by easement or other mechanism involving postal property. 14. It was generally agreed to pursue the potential for stormwater control ponding on postal property; assuming wetland mitigation will be provided by off-site purchase to the extend necessary; the replacement by credits of up to 100% of the wetland is probably acceptable to the city. 15. City engineering staff will gather data and delineate the storm control area and runoff, CMA I V AA will provide the necessary calculations. An initial engineering planning meeting will be held Monday 4/10. 16. Ms. Kansier verbally provided several data regarding city requirements for setbacks, parking, tree preservation and documentation, general and perimeter landscaping, exterior materials. Ms. Kansier provided a copy of the municipal zoning ordinance to CMA for reference. 17. Generally all planning approval requirements are administrative in nature, requiring no public hearings. 18. Courtesy review should be afforded the city council (and planning commission)(possibly injoint session). 19. It was generally agreed the triangular corner easements would not interfere with the developments; vacation could be pursued if desired by the Postal Service, at a later time. 20. The site plan will be adjusted after the question of ring road alignment (especially at the northwest corner) is more settled; in the interim, the ponding I storm water control I wetland issues on the eastern part of the site will be pursued. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #1 April 6, 2000 Page 3 21. Jane Kansier will be the city contact for development and city submittal issues; Ms. Kansier provided a copy of the Prior Lake zoning code for reference.

The comments are not numbered or organized in a specific manner, so we will reference the comments to the best of our ability relative to our responses. We have attached a copy of the City comments for your reference. LANDSCAPE ITEM: Regarding the addition of three 2 1/2" caliper trees: We can comply and will ask the Landscape Architect to provide the required documentation. The LA requests answers from the City to the following questions. 1. Does the City prefer a specific species or location for the three additional 2 1/2" caliper trees? 2. Are the additional trees needed to satisfy a tree replacement requirement in the City Ordinance or is there another reason such as a desire for more screening or buffering somewhere on the site? INSPECTOR ITEM: Regarding the chain link fence: The fences were included as a USPS requirement. The constricted site does not allow us to include the fence without being within the setback. We would prefer to eliminate the fence, but this is the domain of the Inspection Service. Perhaps Inspector GautreaUx could provide a possible solution. We will need to have some feedback from him before meeting with the City. ELECTRICAL ITEM: Regarding exterior lighting plan: We will coordinate this with the electrical engineer. Will comply. ARCHITECTURAL ITEMS: Regarding exterior signage: We will communicate the sign sizes to the City. Regarding the Interoffice Memo and comments relating to the parking area drives. All of the requested changes relate to the changes to the roadway alignment and the "Ring Road". We see no problem with the suggested changes but redesign will be considered additional service. We will await further direction from the USPS. ~V~D ":~""itio.,.~~~ _ C8 "'f1I~ t E B 2 2 2001 :-~ " .' > Mr. John Lunig CMA Project No. 98110-15 February 20, 2001 Page 2 USPS ITEM: We expect right-of-way and easement issues to be coordinated by the USPS. ARCHITEcruRAL ITEMS; Regarding the fire and life-safety issues on the Memo from J. Kansier. We can provide design claritication for the four items on the last page of the memo; fire lane signs, address numbers, key box, and drawing of site plan. PERMIT ITEM: The last item is the comments regarding fees and charges. We recognize the requirement to pay SACIW AC charges, etc. We are not certain that the USPS or its contractor is required to pay the Sewer and Water permit. That permit cost could exceed $26,000 and I am not sure that any of the offerors would have included this cost in their offer. The MCES charge is about $5750.00 and the added charges for SAC and WAC, from the City, ($3,000 per unit) would not be a surprise (This would amount to $15,(00). CIVIL ITEMS: The following comments all appear on page 2 of the Interoffice Memo from Bud and Sue to Jane Kansier, dated 2/2/01 under the heading of Utilities. Our responses are as follows: Comment: Private storm sewer system is located in a drainage easement and utility easement as well as the area of lightweight fill. Response: Last week I confirmed with Lani Leichty at the city that there are no proposed utilities located in the area of lightweight fill based on a. drawing showing the extent of lightweight fill provided to us by the city. We do show on our drawing private utilities in the utility easement. Assuming that water and sanitary building services are not an issue the primary focus of discussion with the city would relate to the storm sewer that originates at the existing wetland and connects to the city main. All other comments on this referenced memo (Interoffice Memo, Page 2). Response: Will comply.

The originals will follow by mail. FILE COp?1 February 12, 2001 Thomas J. Aggen, Real Estate Specialist United States Postal Service 6201 College Boulevard, Suite 400 Overland Park, KS 66211-2443 RE: Prior Lake Post Office Site Dear Mr. Aggen: The City of Prior Lake staff has completed review of the plans submitted for the Prior Lake Post Office site. We have the following comments: . The tree inventory indicates removal of 20 caliper inches of significant trees. This is equal to 100% of the total caliper inches of significant trees. The Ordinance allows removal of up to 25% of the significant caliper inches without replacement. Anything above that must be replaced at the rate of 1/2" for each 1" removed. This will require 3 trees, at least 2 % caliper inches in size, for replacement. The landscaping plan does not include enough trees to meet this requirement. . The plan indicates a chain link fence along Tower Street. Fences are not permitted in the front yard setback. . An exterior lighting plan must be submitted. Parking lot lighting is required and must provide an average horizontal illumination between 0.4 and 1.0 foot candles. . The signage plan does not indicate the sizes of the proposed signs on the site. The freestanding sign may not exceed 100 square feet. The wall signs may not exceed 20% of the building face. Also attached are comments from the City Engineering Department and from the City Building Department. These issues must be addressed prior to site plan approval. We would like to schedule a meeting with you and your design engineers to discuss these issues. Please contact me so we can arrange a date and time.

POST OFFICE DRIVEWAY ACCESSES: With the proposed Ring Road curving onto Duluth Avenue and between the Post Office and bank, the following driveway modifications are recommended: . The north parking lot, which we understand is the employee/truck parking area, should have its access provided by a driveway on the east side of the lot and then connected directly to the proposed Ring Road on the north. No connection should be provided between this lot and other driveways or parking lots. . The northern driveway onto Duluth, which serves both the employee lot, the public lots and the drive-thru, box loop, should be moved farther south to avoid the curve and the future intersection of Duluth Avenue and Ring Road. This driveway could serve both the public parking lot and the drive-thru loop, but it should not be connected to the employee lot. . The southerly driveway on Duluth Avenue, which is currently shown as an exit only from the drive-thru lane, should be eliminated completely. The exit for the drive-thru could loop back to the driveway on Tower Street. . The two driveways on Tower Street could remain as designed. Both of these could be two- way driveways. These two driveways could be connected through the southerly parking lot. These recommended driveway modifications would enable the Post Office site to work better with the proposed Ring Road while still providing three full accesses and one partial access to the site, which is the same number of access shown on the proposed site plan. 0210212001 G:\PROJECTS\2000\39USPS\ring road post office. doc 02/02/2001 RIGHT-OF-WA Y/EASEMENTS Additional right-of-way/easements for the Ring Road are required from the post office site, as follows: . Approximately 800 square feet will be needed in the northwest comer of the site to allow for the Ring Road 25 mph curve required. . A small area will be needed in the southwest comer for the new connection of Tower Drive to Duluth Street, although this area is within the existing drainage and utility easement. 3. UTILITIES . The proposed utility (sewer and water) connections to the site are acceptable. . Show elevations of boards on the baffled weir details (for construction purposes). . Private storm sewer system is located in a drainage and utility easement as well as the area containing lightweight fill. No excavation is to take place in the lightweight fill area. . Add the following note regarding CB G & H: 'Slide new manhole slab under the existing pipe, construct new manhole over the pipe. Remove top portion of existing pipe by sawcutting. Grout all voids with non-shrink grout.' . Remove the proposed storm pipe leading into Pond B from the southeast, along with the note. . Reword the note referring to the existing catch basin at the west entrance on Tower Street to read, 'Replace existing casting with a Neenah R-3510, or equivalent.' . Add the following notes to Detail 9-C21.1: 1) 'Make connections to existing sanitary manhole by core-drilling the holes.' 2) '20 foot minimum D.I.P. pipe length from the outside drop tee-fitting. . Page C1.3 - Change the 3rd sentence in Note 17 to read: 'Remove existing rings, add a 2.7 ft. barrel section, 66" 1.0., and adjust to grade with plastic rings. Remove existing 30" storm pipe to the north and bulkhead hole in manhole wall with solid concrete block and non-shrink mortar.' . Page C1.3 - Add to Note 18: 'Remove existing rings, add a 4.0 ft. barrel section, and adjust casting to grade with plastic rings.' . Page C1.3 - Add to Note 19: 'Remove existing rings, add a 2.7 ft. barrel section, and raise casting to grade with plastic rings.' We would recommend that a meeting be set up with the Post Office as soon as possible to discuss these issues. BO/jlp 0210212001 2 " (.~~ ~~ Bruce M. Carlson, AlA Patrick G. Blees, AlA CMA P.A.

The comments are not numbered or organized in a specific manner, so we will reference the comments to the best of our ability relative to our responses. We have attached a copy of the City comments for your reference. LANDSCAPE ITEM: Regarding the addition of three 2 1/2" caliper trees: We can comply and will ask the Landscape Architect to provide the required documentation. The LA requests answers from the City to the following questions. 1. Does the City prefer a specific species or location for the three additional 2 1/2" caliper trees? 2. Are the additional trees needed to satisfy a tree replacement requirement in the City Ordinance or is there another reason such as a desire for more screening or buffering somewhere on the site? INSPECTOR ITEM: Regarding the chain link fence: The fences were included as a USPS requirement. The constricted site does not allow us to include the fence without being within the setback. We would prefer to eliminate the fence, but this is the domain of the Inspection Service. Perhaps Inspector Gautreaux could provide a possible solution. We will need to have some feedback from him before meeting with the City. ELECTRICAL ITEM: Regarding exterior lighting plan: We will coordinate this with the electrical engineer. Will comply. ARCHITECTURAL ITEMS: Regarding exterior signage: We will communicate the sign sizes to the City. Regarding the Interoffice Memo and comments relating to the parking area drives. All of the requested changes relate to the changes to the roadway alignment and the "Ring Road". We see no problem with the suggested changes but redesign will be considered additional service. We will await further direction from the USPS. f Mr. John Luttig CMA Project No. 98110-15 February 20, 2001 Page 2 USPS ITEM: We expect right-of-way and easement issues to be coordinated by the USPS. ARCHITECTURAL ITEMS; Regarding the fire and life-safety issues on the Memo from J. Kansier. We can provide design clarification for the four items on the last page of the memo; fire lane signs, address numbers, key box, and drawing of site plan. PERMIT ITEM: The last item is the comments regarding fees and charges. We recognize the requirement to pay SAC/W AC charges, etc. We are not certain that the USPS or its contractor is required to pay the Sewer and Water permit. That permit cost could exceed $26,000 and I am not sure that any of the offerors would have included this cost in their offer. The MCES charge is about $5750.00 and the added charges for SAC and WAC, from the City, ($3,000 per unit) would not be a surprise (This would amount to $15,000). I don't know if this cost was in the offers that we reviewed, but the low offer from ECI, Inc. seems to have included most of the SAC & WAC charges. CIVIL ITEMS: The following comments all appear on page 2 of the Interoffice Memo from Bud and Sue to Jane Kansier, dated 2/2/01 under the heading of Utilities. Our responses are as follows: Comment: Private storm sewer system is located in a drainage easement and utility easement as well as the area of lightweight fill. Response: Last week I confirmed with Lani Leichty at the city that there are no proposed utilities located in the area of lightweight fill based on a drawing showing the extent of lightweight fill provided to us by the city. We do show on our drawing private utilities in the utility easement. Assuming that water and sanitary building services are not an issue the primary focus of discussion with the city would relate to the storm sewer that originates at the existing wetland and connects to the city main. All other comments on this referenced memo (Interoffice Memo, Page 2). Response: Will comply: Based on our conversation, we anticipate that you will share this response letter with the City as you communicate with them to set up a meeting.

We have hired a WSB & Associates, an engineering consultant, to design the Ring Road. The project manager is Dave Hutton. The preliminary design is far enough along to discuss the affects on the Post Office site. We have successfully applied for and received a variance from MnDOT State Aid rules to decrease the radius length for the curve in the northwest corner of the site, which lessens the impact on the Post Office property. We would like to discuss this ring road plan, plus we have other comments on the proposed site plan. Please contact me by email or at 952.447.9890 at your earliest convenience.

Meeting Patrick G. Blees, C.M. Architecture, P.A. Christopher R. Olson, C.M. Architecture, P.A. BY: Christopher R. Olson Jane Kansier with the City of Prior Lake suggested that we attend the end of their regularly scheduled department meeting to discuss the survey and process for amending the site easements. The Architect noted the following items. 1. CMA presented the site survey with the proposed easement changes. 2. The city indicated that a specific schedule for the reconstruction of Duluth Ave. could not be determined at this time due to legal proceedings. They estimated that the project would be bid in October. The City indicated that they were not sure the project would be completed by July, 2004. The City was open to having temporary connections as necessary. 3. Duluth Avenue along the West side of the site may have a different name after the reconstruction of the road. The City refers to it as "the Ring Road". 4. The City presented a revised legal description for the changes along Duluth Ave. The drawings are correct but the legal description will need to be redone. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #10 September 18, 2003 Page 2 5. The City requested that CMA be present at a future City Council meeting to provide some drawings and descriptions of the project to the Council. The most likely date is October 20th to allow time to publish in advance and accomplish the easement changes at the same meeting. 6. We need to submit our survey and application for vacation of easements by next week to get on the schedule for the Council meeting on October 20th. 7. "Quit claim deeds" will need to be completed and signed related to the changes along Duluth Ave. The City said they could have the documents prepared. CMA offered to forward them to the appropriate USPS personal. 8. The City asked how the SAC and WAC charges would be coordinated. CMA will inform the contractor to insure they contact and coordinate through Jane. 9. The Fire Marshall indicated that the PN valve on the South side of the building needs to be at least as far from the building as the adjacent building is tall. (No dimensions are indicated on the drawing.) This Memorandum documents the author's understanding of the items discussed during the meeting.

Blees, CM Architecture, P.A. Christopher Olson, CM Architecture, P.A. BY: Christopher Olson This Memorandum serves as an official record ofthe meeting held at 9:00 am on April 9, 2003. Through the course of the proceedings CMA noted the following comments, concerns, and directives. 1. Watershed Requirements: a. Jim Eggen indicated that it was the USPS responsibility to determine if the USPS is exempt from local watershed district review. Jim has discussed this with Martin Hansen, USPS by phone. Jim indicated he is waiting for a letter from Martin if the USPS is not going through the normal review processes. b. CMA indicated that we are required to design within the most stringent regulations. c. There are new water infiltration requirements that will need to be met. Watershed regulations have been modified since the previous design. d. During the previous design (In 2000) a watershed permit was not obtained, but was approved with contingencies of surety and easements. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #10 Apri19,2003 Page 2 2. Wetlands Mitigation: a. COE approval letter is complete and on file. (Dated July 7, 2000) b. Wetland credits have been approved by the Board of Water & Soil. c. The City has given notice to the necessary parties of the mitigation. d. Mitigation still requires City Council approval. Sue McDermott indicated that Council approval should not be difficult. 3. On-site water ponding and infiltration: a. Infiltration is required under the new watershed standards. b. The previous design included storm water input into pond 'B' from off-site. The storm water entered pond 'B' from the comer of Tower Street and Toronto Avenue. The City will no longer require this connection. There is some existing storm water that enters the site on the East from curb cuts and catch basins on Toronto Avenue. This storm water will still need to be controlled and pond 'B' is the most likely possibility. Water infiltration and storm water management will be redesigned. 4. Parking and Curb Cuts: a. The City is planning to start construction on the redesigned Duluth Avenue mid to late summer. This project will affect both curb cuts off Duluth Avenue shown in the previous design. The curb cut at the Northwest comer of the property is a combined entrance for customer parking, snorkel lane (mail drop) and mail carriers. This curb cut will need to move south to accommodate the changes to Duluth Ave. b. If the redesign of the parking layout cannot accommodate a connection to the carrier parking on the West end or if the layout needs to be changed to one way traffic the City will allow an additional curb cut at the East end of the carrier parking. CMA will coordinate with the City to stay with in the new right-of-way for Duluth Ave. c. It may be necessary to change the parking to one-way traffic to accommodate changes to Duluth Ave. The entrance would be off of Duluth and the exit would be on Tower. d. The City expressed concern with the exit of the snorkel lane as shown in the previous design. The City expects there will be more traffic on Duluth and suggested that the snorkel lane tie back into the parking near the exit on Tower Street. \/\\ ){. ~ i"/' dA,JI> /" ~. 'd7P 2P~/ lo~a\ 5. City Permits and Fees: a. CMA indicated its intention to try and identify and list as many of the required permits and fees as possible before the project is sent out to bid. The intent is to make sure all bids reflect these fees equally and avoid having the City providing the information to each of the contractor's independently. b. The City provided a list of 'Development Fees'. Several of these were discussed and some fees were identified that were not on the list. The following is a list of the fees diS~Sse=: =;~ti:~ES Permit through MPCA ~ $240.00 '> ~ \A'-' ~ ,'f'6f . ii. Watershed - Application Fee = $60.00 (Waived for Gov. Project) iii.

City SAC - 5 units at $600.00ea. Vll. City WAC - 5 units at $600.00ea. viii. Water Tower Fee - 5 units at $700.00ea. IX. Storm Water Connection Permit is 1 % of construction of the connection. Project No. 98110-15 Project Memo #10 Apri19,2003 Page 3 x. Storm Water Area Charge as part of utility permit = $6092.00/acre (This is based on net acrage - area less ponds & wetlands) 6. Fencing / Security: a. CMA indicated that the USPS would like to fence the entire perimeter of the site. b. The City will allow the fencing of the entire site. However, the City wants ornamental fence where the fence is going to be adjacent to the public right-of-way. In addition, landscaping should be used along the public right-of-way. c. The city will look at adding some plantings along the North property line as part of the redevelopment of Duluth Ave. 7. Easements: a. The drainage and utility easement between lot 1 and lot 2 has been vacated but not recorded. b. The major utility easement across the Southwest corner will stay as is. c. The existing drainage and utility easements adjacent to Duluth Ave., along the North edge of the property and adjacent to Toronto Ave. will be vacated if a new drainage and utility easement can be established on East half of the USPS property to include, as a minimum, the delineated wetlands and potentially the other new storm water retaining ponds. The USPS is responsible for defining and documenting the existing and the changes to the utility and drainage easements. d. Changes to the property definition due to the changes in Duluth Ave. will be defined and documented by the City. Some property will be added to the USPS lot in the Southwest corner. Some property will be subtracted at the Northwest corner. A small amount of property may be added along the North edge on the property on the West end. This may happen at a later date. This Memorandum documents the author's understanding of the items discussed during the meeting. [fyour understanding differs, please notify the author. Notes from phone conversation with Martin Hansen following the meeting referenced above: 1. Martin stated that the USPS intends to meet the new watershed requirements and directed CMA to propose and proceed with the necessary changes. 2. Martin directed CMA to proceed with the redesign of the customer parking and curb cuts off Duluth Ave. based on comments from the meeting. Martin agreed that the entrance to the carrier parking should be moved to the East end of the parking area. Maintaining two-way traffic in the customer parking would be preferred. 3. Martin suggested that the height and style of the ornamental fence be simplified along the perimeter of the site and USPS standard ornamental security fence be used in areas where additional security is required. 4. Martin directed CMA to get a proposal for the required survey work / easement definition. Martin stated that any easement changes should include documentation of the existing easements, vacated and new proposed easements. End of phone memo. /cro (4/10/03) The Prior Lake American I Post office gets green light Page 1 of3 PRJIT 0 Qm !_~~_ Prior Lake AmerIcan ,~ Post office gets green light Friday, April 04, 2003 By Nathan Oster, Editor Like the 34-cent stamp, the Prior Lake Post Office building on Anna Trail will soon become a thing of the past. Funding for the construction of a new building to house the United States Postal Service operations in the city of Prior Lake was approved last month by USPS headquarters. The decision to green-light the project came more than two years after the federal government in February of 2001 placed a freeze on all new construction projects proposed by the USPS. For Postmaster Gayle Ozment and City Manager Frank Boyles, the news that Prior Lake had been selected as one of only two cities in the USPS's entire west region to receive funding for a new construction project was welcomed with open arms. In fact, both said the timing was close to perfect, with Ozment pointing to the crowded conditions inside the current building and Boyles noting that the construction of the new post office - expected to begin in June or July and take approximately 12 months to complete - will coincide with the construction of the ring road between Franklin Trail and Panama Avenue. The new post office will be built on an approximately 4-acre piece of property on the south side of Highway 13 and behind the Wells Fargo Bank and Priordale Mall. It will be bordered on the west by Duluth Avenue, on the east by Toronto Avenue, and on the south by Tower Street, with the ring road serving as one of the main accesses to the property. USPS take Built in 1979, the current post office on Anna Trail has about 5,000 square feet. The new one will have approximately 19,000 square feet. The extra space is badly needed, said Ozment. "We've got stuff in every nook and cranny of this building," said Ozment on Tuesday (April 1). She pointed out that the post office added two portable trailers in the loading dock area and that both get used for temporary storage. The need for more space and resources has grown with the city around it. When asked about traffic, Ozment said the Prior Lake Post Office is visited by an average of 4,000 customers per week during regular business hours, which are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. That equates to about 1.3 customers per minute. "It used to be that the second clerk didn't have to be at the window all the time helping customers and could be used to do a lot of other things around the office," said Ozment. ''That's not the case anymore. Because of the heavier traffic, the second clerk is just about always at the window now, helping along with customers. "In addition to that, there are often cars lined up in the street, waiting to get into our parking lot." http://www.plamerican.com/print.asp? Artic1eID=3845&SectionID=2&SubSectionID=2 4/8/2003 The Prior Lake American I Post office gets green light Page 2 of3 Ozment speculated that one of the reasons funding was approved for the Prior Lake project may have been because a number of the costs have already been paid by the USPS, with the biggest being the land purchase which was finalized two years ago. Ozment said she currently has 46 employees working out of the Prior Lake Post Office, but she added that the number is likely to grow once operations are relocated to the new building and as the city - and the public's demand for postal services - continues to grow. ''The new building will benefit every customer and our employees so much," she said. "Right now, there is not one little corner of this building that doesn't have something in it." City pleased Boyles said that with traffic estimates of one customer per minute, the new post office "will be a real asset" for the area and for the other businesses in the area, all of which will be served by the new ring road. The ring road was designed to run parallel to Highway 13 and serve as a "backage" road for businesses between Franklin Trail and Panama Avenue/Country Road 23. The road is being constructed in phases. The first phase, stretching from Franklin Trail nearly to Toronto Avenue, was completed last year in connection with the Keystone Communities senior housing complex. Phases two and three of the project are to be done by the city, with the second phase connecting Toronto and Duluth avenues and the third phase connecting Duluth and Panama/CR 23 and realigning the Panama/CR 23 intersection with Highway 13. The city is currently pursuing easements for the second and third phases and is confident construction work will begin this year. Boyles said that as a federal agency, the USPS will not be required to obtain a building permit or go through the planning review process, but that he is hopeful that the USPS will be a good neighbor and act in the best interest of the neighborhood. "So far, they have been very responsive," said Boyles. Planning Coordinator Jane Kansier said the USPS had finished designing the new building and was taking bids when the funding freeze went into effect. Like Boyles, Kansier said it's a plus that the post office construction and ring road construction will apparently coincide, adding, however, that there could be some complications resulting from the level of construction activity taking place at the same time. http://www.plamerican.comlprint.asp?
