August 21, 1997 Mr. Steve Ach Page Two o o Glen Sundeen from the Elk River Municipal Utilities indicated that there are overhead power lines running along the east side of the property and along the railroad tracks on the southwest side of the property. There is also underground electric at the north side of the parking area which serves the irrigation system. Glen needs to have a 15' easement over any electric facilities that fall within the property boundary. There is a proposed outlet from the parking area onto Proctor Avenue. The outlet is shown just south of an existing outlet from the parking lot for the baseball facility. This new outlet onto Proctor Avenue will require a County permit. We would suggest that as part of the new outlet construction, the existing outlet just to the north be eliminated and access be gained through the existing parking facility through the new road. The new parking lot should include a barrier style of concrete curb and gutter. It is unclear from the drawing whether it shows a barrier style of concrete curb and gutter. Along the west side of this property is the abandoned railroad bed that is currently a City trail. It would seem reasonable to provide for a 10' wide bituminous trail along the north side of School street, through this property, to tie the railroad trail to the existing sidewalk on Proctor Avenue and School Street east of Proctor Avenue. Phil Hals, the Street Superintendent, indicated at the staff review meeting that there are underground irrigation facilities located near the proposed outlet to the parking area. These facilities need to be located and considered in the final design of the parking area and access road. If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call.
