Following this review, the following comments were generated. These <br />comments axe not expected to effect changes to the site plan documents prior to the <br />Planning Commission meeting on May 10. However, it is beneficial that changes be made <br />prior to May 12, 2011 for inclusion in the City Council packet. If the plans cannot be <br />altered, and you agree with the comments, a letter is sufficient. If you have comments or <br />questions, it is beneficial to bring those to my attention as soon as possible. This letter is <br />attached as a recommended condition of approval. <br />1.

It is suggested that these shrubs be relocated onsite. I can support the <br />exchange of one evergreen and one ornamental trees for the 7 shrubs to be retained on site. <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />www.ci.elk-river.mn.us <br />
