The plat along with a request for rezoning and a land use plan amendment was <br />originally presented to the Planning Commission back in August 1995. The <br />rezoning to C4 and the land use amendment to CC were eventually approved; <br />however, application for the preliminary plat was withdrawn because of title <br />problems that had to be clarified. Since that time the title problems have been <br />have been cleared up and the parcel is able to be platted. <br /> <br />Utilities <br /> <br />There is a 15 foot utility easement proposed across the south end of the parcel. <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities has indicated that there is a question about the <br />exact location of the electric lines in that area. They suggested that the location <br />of the line be field verified and the proposed utility easement be adjusted if <br />needed. There is also a pole guide that is located outside the proposed utility <br />easement along Holt Avenue near the intersection with 193fa. Like the electric <br />line, the location of the guide should be verified and the easement adjusted if <br />needed to include the pole guide. <br /> <br />Sewer and Water <br /> <br />The property is located within the urban service area and municipal sewer and <br />water will be extended to the site. The likely location for services would come <br />across 193ra from Elk Park Center. The water service will eventually be extended <br />down 193~a to tie in with the Cottages of Elk River. A drainage and utility <br />easement is shown along Holt Avenue that will allow for the extension of sewer <br />and water to Outlot A of the Brentwood Subdivision, which is also within the <br />urban service area. <br /> <br />Access <br /> <br />Access to the site will be from Holt Avenue. The plat was sent to MNDOT for <br />their review and comments. They agreed that access to the site should be served <br />from Holt Avenue. They also expressed concern that the trees on the north end of <br />the site be preserved. <br /> <br />Concept Plan <br /> <br />The attached concept plans show possible development scenarios for this site, an <br />8,000 office building, a 6,000 square foot retail center and a 4,500 square foot <br />restaurant. Access on all three plans is off of Holt Street and is aligned with <br />193~a Avenue. The plans preserve as many trees as possible with parking on the <br />south end of the site and the buildings tucked in just to the south of the trees. <br /> <br /> <br />
