Howard R , Green Company September 8, 2003 File: 811387J-0240 Ms. Michele McPherson Director of Planning City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: THE WOODS AT HILLSIDE FOURTH ADDITION FINAL PLAT REVIEW Dear Ms. McPherson: As requested, we have reviewed the proposed final plat of The Woods at Hillside Fourth Addition. As you are aware, this is the last of the final plats in this area of the "Woods" in the Hillside Estates area. The plat consists of two cul-de-sacs and a total of 17 lots. The plat does follow the preliminary layout for the entire "Woods" area. There are two drainage and utility easement issues that should be revised on the final plat. There will need to be a watermain loop into each of these cul-de-sacs to comply with the Elk River Municipal Utilities policy that watermain is looped wherever possible. In fact, Xavier Street has a stub off of 193rd Avenue at the southwest comer of Lot 4 for the purposes of looping the watermain. The drainage and utility easements on the perimeter of Lot 4 should be revised to accommodate this looping. Currently, 193rd Avenue is not complete to the east plat line. Therefore, there is no watermain extension currently existing for the looping of 193rd Court. However, there should be an enlarged drainage and utility easement between Lots 14 and 15 to get watermain out of 193r~ Court to the park strip, where it could be ultimately extended and looped to 193rd Avenue. With these minor revisions, we would recommend approval of the final plat of The Woods at Hillside Fourth Addition. If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call.
