Howard R. Green Company CONSULTING ENGINEERS July 7, 2000 File: 809411J-0240 Mr. Scott Harlicker Senior Planner City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway PO Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: ELK PATH BUSINESS CENTER FINAL PLAT Dear Mr. Harlicker: As requested, we have reviewed the final plat for the Elk Path Business Center. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: As you are aware, the City Council is currently considering the extension of public utilities and streets to service this area. A public hearing/assessment hearing is scheduled for August 7, 2000. We anticipate that construction bids will be opened prior to that meeting, so they will also be considered that evening. Since the City Council will consider the final plat prior to the final decision on extending public utilities and streets to this area, approval of the final plat should be conditioned on the City extending those utilities and streets necessary to service the plat. The final plat needs to provide access control along the entire frontage with TH 10, excepting the new Waco Street intersection. Access control should also be provided along the Waco Street frontage of Lot 1, Block 1. Ten-foot wide drainage and utility easements should be provided around the outside perimeter of all of the outlots. The one exception to this would be the old Waco Street frontage of Outlots A and B. Outlots A and B should be dedicated to the City of Elk River. Outlot A is necessary for the ponding to be constructed with the public improvements, and Outlot B may be necessary for a roadway connection to service property to the west. At a minimum, it is anticipated that a driveway to serve the residential properties to the west will be constructed along this alignment.
