Howard R, Green Company <br /> QONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />June 19, 2000 <br />File: 809020J-0240 <br /> <br />Ms. Michele McPherson <br />Director of Planning <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, Minnesota 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />K&L ADDITION <br />CITY OF ELK RIVER <br /> <br />Dear Ms. McPherson: <br /> <br />We have reviewed the submittal package for the K&L Addition. As you are aware, this is a <br />proposed plat just north of 173r~ Avenue between Trunk Highway (TH) 10 and the Burlington <br />Northern Railway. The submittal package was prepared by John Oliver and Associates and <br />consisted of a Phase I three-page plan set and an Ultimate 3-page plan set. The three pages in <br />each set plan consisted of a preliminary plat, preliminary grading plan, and preliminary utility <br />plan. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />Preliminary Plat <br />1. The Phase I preliminary plat consists of platting the Back to the 50's Restaurant, <br /> Dean's Four Seasons, and Deano's Collision Center, along with Vance Street <br /> and four lots between Vance Street and the railroad tracks. The Ultimate <br /> preliminary plat includes an additional nine lots along Vance Street/174th Avenue, <br /> including the Riverview Sports Area. The APS property is excluded from both <br /> the Phase I and Ultimate preliminary plats. It will be necessary, however, in the <br /> Ultimate scenario to acquire a small piece of property to extend the street out to <br /> TH 10. <br />2. Both preliminary plats should provide drainage and utility easements along the <br /> created lot lines of the existing businesses. <br />3. There are two gas lines which cross Lot 1 in the southeast corner. The gas line <br /> company easement should be shown on both plats. <br />4. Lot 4 Block 1 in the Phase I scenario is exactly one acre in size; however, the <br /> grading plan shows that approximately 15% of the lot is used for a retention <br /> pond. <br />5. In the Phase I scenario, there are sanitary sewer and water main, a temporary <br /> cul-de-sac, and the retention pond outside of the platted area. There will need to <br /> be an easement provided for the construction of these improvements. <br /> <br />O:\PROJ\809020J\Ltr-061900-McPherson.doc <br /> <br />1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 ° 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
