April 7, 1997 <br /> <br />Dear Bauerly Bros., City of Elk River Planning/Zoning Comm/ssion, and Steve Rohlf,, <br /> <br /> As a result of our initial meeting, I would like to address several issues and get <br />them resolved before April 22. I think it behooves all sides to get these issues behind us to <br />provide a smooth CO-EXISTENCE in the coming years. I will be referring to some of the <br />suggestions by the ZONING administrator at the first meeting. As a result of phases 1 & <br />2, my residence and family will be subject to much of the brunt of this operation, initially, <br />so ifthe first phase can be implemented with satisfaction, it will provide a guideline for the <br />rest of the phases. <br /> <br />~SSU~S; <br /> <br />SCHOOL BUS TRAFFIC: Presently there are (2) buses in the morning 6:40 am & <br />8:05 am. There are also two (2) drop offs after 2 p.m. Additionally, this summer <br />there will be a 9:00am. &12:00 BUS for Pre-School pick-up/drop off. Day Care <br />traffic must also be considered at early morning hours and ~ evening rush hour. After <br />the tragedy in MONTICELLO, it is imperative that SIGNS be posted for MAX. <br />SPEED LIMIT and any other PREVENTATIVE measures be implemented. <br /> <br />The ROAD ENTRANCE that is prescmtly planned DOES PRO _VIDE ADEQUATE <br />VISIBILITY in both directions. One sign should be posted at the top of the hill, up <br />from the Kregers driveway entrance, ~o warn in-bound traffic. Visibilit~ will be <br />adversely affected by the dust; so if the road is not asphalted, then the water truck <br />MUST BE USED frequently. <br /> <br />TRUCKS CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO TURN RIGHT FROM THE GRAVEL PIT <br />TO EXIT. The pit entrance to highway 169 should be the only allowed route. If there <br />are nor provisions for this, then all bets are off'. <br /> <br />· PRESEN'll,Y, GRAVEL TRUCKS ARE TKAVELING AT EXCESS SPEg. lbS TO <br /> AND FROM PITS IN LIVONIA TOWNS~rrv~ ON THIS SAME ROAD. THEy <br /> HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY .RESPONSIBILITY TO WATER THE ROAD_QBEY <br /> __THE SPEED LIMIT, OR EXIT THE OTHt~_D_IRECTION (WITHIN LIVONIA_ <br /> .TOWNSI-flP). _.WHICH IS A SHORTER DISTANCE. I will personally work with <br /> Steve Rohlf, to correct this situation. _L~_al in_'nmOions are an option for the residents <br /> on this road that have small children, and DAY CARE facilities. My expectations are <br /> that the City of EI.K RIVER will be PRO-ACTIVE and address it expeditiously with <br /> LIVONIA TOWNSHIP and the gravel mining co~. <br /> <br />· KOAD ACCESS to the "PIT": Road needs to be paved. If not, then mandatory <br /> watering should be required at routine intervals. Turn lanes should be required. <br /> Access to the farm will go on for years, so I don't see this as an unreasonable request; <br /> as suggested by Steve Rohff. <br /> <br />£/3 '~ 9983 '°N 9¥& ¥~]~ ~6~:3I £66I 'tI'~d¥ <br /> <br /> <br />
