Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />COUNTRY CROSSING 3RD ADDITION <br />PETITION FOR IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />City staff has received a petition from Country Ridge Development Company for sanitary <br />sewer, water, storm drainage, and streets to serve Outlot A and Outlot B of Country Crossing <br />3~d Addition. Attached is a copy of the petition and a small scale copy of the plat which <br />shows these two outlots. These outlots make up the east frontage of Macon Street and the <br />north frontage of Riverview Drive. Since the petition represents more than 35% of the <br />affected front footage, the petition in our opinion is valid. <br /> <br />The City Council will recall that last year a feasibility study was done to analyze extending <br />City utilities and new street construction throughout the Riverview Heights and Grandview <br />Additions, of which Macon Street and Riverview Drive are a part. After the public hearing, <br />it was determined not to extend utilities through the entire subdivision, but to overlay the <br />streets. The overlay project excluded Macon Street and Riverview Drive because it was <br />anticipated that Country Ridge Development Company would be petitioning for these <br />improvements in a relatively short period of time. The City Council had a brief discussion <br />about this issue when the feasibility study for the overall area and the overlay project were <br />being done. At that point in time, the discussion was that the existing properties on the west <br />side of Macon Street and south side of Riverview Drive would be treated much the same as <br />properties on Fresno Street were a number of years ago. When utilities and street <br />reconstruction was done on Fresno Street, the existing properties were assessed for the new <br />street and storm drainage improvements, but were not assessed for sanitary sewer and water <br />improvements. It was left that the properties could hook up to sanitary sewer and water if <br />they so chose to, and at that point in time they would be asked to pay the assessment. <br />Otherwise, the assessment would be held by the City until such time that their entire area <br />received City utilities. <br /> <br />Attached is a draft resolution for the City Council's consideration. The resolution declares <br />the adequacy of the petition received from Country Ridge Development Company and <br />authorizes the preparation of the feasibility study. Unless City Council gives a different <br />direction, the feasibility study would be prepared as described above. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
