Green Company <br /> November 5, 2003 <br /> File: 230000M-0325 <br /> Mr. Chris f cn her <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: DON PARSON REQUEST FOR VARIANCE <br /> Dear Mr. Leeseberg: <br /> Mr. Parson is requesting a variance to allow parking to take place behind the single-family home <br /> located at 312 Main Street, which is immediately west of the City's lift station facility located at Main <br /> Street and Evans Avenue. In Mr. Parson's submittal, he suggests two options are available for the <br /> variance to allow parking in the rear of this structure. In the first option, he suggests allowing access <br /> • to the rear of his property through the City-owned lift station site. This option was previously <br /> discussed by Lori Johnson, Finance Director; Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator; and myself several <br /> weeks ago. It was the unanimous decision of the three of us that this was not a viable option. The <br /> City has no idea what may be required in the future relative to our Evans Avenue lift station: whether <br /> or not that structure will need to be expanded, or some additional facility constructed on that site. For <br /> these reasons, we all felt that it was appropriate for the City to maintain the integrity of the property <br /> they own and not allow access to 312 Main Street via the City property. <br /> In conclusion, I believe that the City should only review Option 2 listed on Mr. Parson's submittal, <br /> since Option 1 has already been determined to be not viable. If you have any questions regarding <br /> this information, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R.
