March 27, 1998 <br />403 Main Street <br />Elk River~ MN. 55330 <br /> <br />Elk River City Hall <br />13065 Orono Road <br />Elk River, MN. 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Sirs: <br /> <br />Although, I may or may not meet all the criteria, I have <br />been able to meet the cn!y concerns or reasons as to why the <br />barn cannot be placed there at the present time. The only <br />3 reasons given to me by the City are as follows: <br /> <br />#1. Water runoff: This possible problem can be alleviated <br />by placing a small birm around the building and forcing the <br />water to run to ~ holding pond. <br />#2 Easement: In case machinery would need to get in to <br />work on the ditches. There will be plenty of room for a <br />very large tr~ck-hce to get in ~nd maneuver. I also own the <br />land on both sides of the creek all the way so there would <br />be access iregard!ess. <br />#3 Ground water contamination: If this is truly a concern, <br />I can place a plastic matt underneath the floor. <br /> <br />These are the only issues that the planers could come up <br />with and I was able to meet each objection with a plyable an- <br />swer. This is the best spct fcr this barn as I will be <br />planting a tree farm this summer plus the location of this <br />barn will be an area that will be too wet to get into every <br />Spring. However, I can drive in there on a Class ~5 driveway, <br />so access fcr a vehicle won't be a problem. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Timothy Smith <br /> <br /> <br />
