SITE PLAN REVIEW
Vehicular Access and Circulation
Vehicular access and circulation is improved by paving and striping the parking lot.
Pedestrian Access
Pedestrian access is improved by replacing sidewalks and adding a bleacher lift to
the north bleachers.
Required Parking
The number of parking stalls is unchanged. The limited improvements to the
facility does not trigger additional parking requirements.
Architectural Appearance
The proposed construction meets architectural appearance standards and will
match the existing buildings. The predominant materials include stone veneer and
rock faced block.
Landscape
An existing tree and some landscaping will be removed for the improvements and
replaced with a row of trees along Highway 55. Full landscaping compliance is not
part of a site plan review with less than 25% building additions.
Lighting Plan
A photometric plan showing low light levels (.0-.1 foot candles) at the property
boundaries has been submitted. (≤ .5 foot candles is required adjacent to
residential zoning)
Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control and Utility Plan Review
The Public Works Department is reviewing the Grading, Drainage, Erosion Control,
and Utility Plans.
MN DOT Review
Since some site improvements are taking place on MnDot property, MnDot has
provided authorization for the city to review the application. Plans were
submitted to MnDot for review because it is adjacent to a state highway. They
have provided some conditions for development that staff has included in the
resolution conditions.

SUBJECT: McNamara Field and Building Improvements Site Plan MnDOT Review #S19-014 NW of US 61 and MN 55
CS: 1913
City of Hastings, Dakota County Dear Mr. Fortney:
MnDOT has reviewed the current site plans provided for the above-referenced project. Before further
development, please address the following:
Tree Protection See Figure 1 for required protection measures for trees on property leased from MnDOT.
For questions, please contact Paul Voigt at MnDOT’s Office of Environmental Stewardship at Paul.Voigt@state.mn.us or 651-366-3631. Protection of MnDOT Survey Monument See Figure 2. Please provide information on how the MnDOT survey monument near the proposed
scoreboard will be protected and maintained during and after construction. The survey monument is critical to the monitoring and protection of the stone wall along MN 61, and it is essential that the monument is not moved or damaged. Please describe any grade changes in this area of the site, possible relocation of the scoreboard, and the type of foundation that will be installed to support the scoreboard.
Please be aware that the cost to reinstall the survey monument is approximately $10,000.
For questions, please contact Casey Crisp of MnDOT’s Survey Section at Casey.Crisp@state.mn.us or 651-366-4332.
Right-of-Way MnDOT has received the written requests dated 3/13/19 from Superintendent Collins for the updated lease for the parking area and the conveyance of the building area, and these requests are now being processed. For related questions, please contact Bridget Jacobson of MnDOT’s Right of Way Section at 651-234-7557 or Bridget.L.Jacobson@state.mn.us.
In addition, the plans submitted show the encroachment of structures on state right-of-way. Please contact Area Engineer Molly Kline at Molly.Kline@state.mn.us or 651-234-7723 to review this issue.

Bicycle Racks The plans do not appear to include provisions for bike racks. Encouraging facility users and visitors to arrive by bike and on foot will be an important strategy for reducing motor vehicle traffic congestion on MN 55 and MN 61, as well as mitigating parking concerns in the adjacent residential neighborhood. Therefore, MnDOT strongly recommends that bicycle racks be included at the facility.
For questions, please contact Cameron Muhic of the Metro District’s Multimodal Planning Section at Cameron.Muhic@state.mn.us or 651-234-7797. Drainage A drainage permit will be required for this site to ensure that current drainage rates to MnDOT right-of-
way will not be increased. Please provide computations and plans so that MnDOT may verify that the proposed development maintains or reduces drainage rates to the state right-of-way. Please include both existing and proposed site conditions. Drainage permit applications are available and may be submitted online at: https://dotapp7.dot.state.mn.us/OLPA. Please submit the following documents with the
drainage permit application:
1. A grading plan showing existing and proposed contours.
2. Drainage area maps for the proposed project showing existing and proposed drainage areas. Any off-site areas that drain to the project area should also be included in the drainage area maps. The
direction of flow for each drainage area must be indicated by arrows.
3. Drainage computations for pre- and post-construction conditions during the 2-, 10-, 50-, and 100-year rain events.
4. Time of concentration calculations.
5. An electronic copy of any computer modeling used for the drainage computations.
MnDOT’s drainage permits checklist is attached for your convenience.
For drainage-related questions, please contact Nick Olson of the Metro District’s Water Resources Section at Nicholas.Olson@state.mn.us or 651-234-7542. Permits
In addition to the drainage permit mentioned above, any work within or that has impacts to the MnDOT right-of-way will require an appropriate permit. Permit forms and instructions are available and may be submitted online at: https://dotapp7.dot.state.mn.us/OLPA.
Please direct any questions regarding permit requirements to Buck Craig of the Metro District’s Permits Section at 651-234-7911 or Buck.Craig@state.mn.us. Review Submittal Options MnDOT’s goal is to review proposed development plans and documents within 30 days of receipt. Electronic file submittals are typically processed more rapidly. There are four submittal options: 1. Email documents and plans in .pdf format to metrodevreviews.dot@state.mn.us. Attachments may not exceed 20 megabytes per email. If multiple emails are necessary, number each message.
2. Upload .pdf file(s) to MnDOT’s external shared internet workspace site at:
