Typically,easements for trails,parks,streets, <br /> and other public infrastructure are acquired during the development process. <br /> Citing road right-of-way deficiencies along 221st Avenue,dangerous non-vehicular mobility along 2210 <br /> Avenue,and a desire for a trail connection from the Ridges of Rice Lake development,residents have asked <br /> the city to facilitate proper easements for potential trail improvements in this area. <br /> In an effort to facilitate the desires of the residents in your area,attached is a draft description of the <br /> easement as it pertains to your property. Your signature approving or denying the easement will provide the <br /> city with direction whether to proceed with acquisition and planning for trail construction. <br /> Thank you for your timely consideration. Please remit the attached document to me by close of business on <br /> Monday,May 2,2016. <br /> If you have any further questions,please do not hesitate to contact me. <br /> i <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ii li la/ <br /> / <br /> Michael Hecker <br /> Parks and Recreation Director <br /> 763.635.1131 <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River,MN 55330 <br /> Phone: 763.635.1000 <br /> 1.... . <br /> P 1 1 E IIE 1 11 <br /> NATURE v. <br /> www.E1kRiverMN.gov <br />
