es/is/isse es:4s 44ies6s SCOTT BREUER CONST 6.10. <br /> <br />SCOTT .... <br /> <br />"Our reputation speaks for itself." <br /> <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br /> Citv of Elk River <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council: <br /> <br />Last week our company had the opportunity to meet with the City of Elk River Planning <br />Staff; the Planning Commission members; our engineering consultant, Roger Anderson & <br />Associates, Inc.; and a representative from the Minnesota Land Trust. This meeting was <br />coordinated by City staff'and ourselves as a workshop session for the Planning <br />Commission to learn more about the idea of conservation design, a/k/a "open space" or <br />"cluster" design of subdivisions. <br /> <br />The concept plan for a neighborhood we are planning in Elk River which incorporates the <br />methods of open space design was used for discussion at the work session. The ideas and <br />benefits were discussed at length and were seemingly very well r~ceived by the Planning <br />Commission members who attended this meeting. <br /> <br />Although the City currently does not have an ordinance for open space development, <br />it was our hope that our open space concept plan could be proposed to the City as a <br />P.U.D. However, after review by the City Attorney, it was concluded that this was not <br />allowable. <br /> <br />The possibility of a Zoning Ordinance amendment to allow for this type of subdivision was <br />brought up by City Staff. We would certainly be supportive of this action as the benefits <br />and unique qualities of'this type of neighborhood has much to offer everyone. We look <br />~'orward to the opportunity to participate in a similar work session with the City Council as <br />well. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Ann Marie Breuer, Vice President <br />Scott Br~er Homes <br /> <br />'.)07 Main Street · Elk River, MN 55330 · Office 441-6044 · Fax 441-8363 · Lic. #1113 <br /> <br /> <br />
