Reconsideration of Water Tower Site - East Elk River Michele McPherson indicated that on November 27. the City Council requested that the Park and Recreation Commission reconsider the placement of a water tower in East Elk River. Michele noted that on December 13. 2000, the Park and Recreation Commission voted 7-1 to recommend to the City Council that the tower not be located in either Hillside City Park or Trott Brook Farms Park. Bryan Adams. Utilities Superintendent, indicated that there is a need for a water tower in eastern Elk River due to the eastern area expansion. He indicated that the Utilities Commission has looked at many sites. He noted that according to the criteria used to locate a water tower the two parks (Hillside City and Trott Brook Farms) are considered the best locations. He indicated that the Utilities Commission recommended locating the water tower at site 3b (Hillside City Park). Park and Recreation Commissioner John Kuester thanked the council for allowing the commission more time to discuss the issue. He noted that a main concern of the commission is the timing in choosing a water tower site. Commissioner Kuester indicated that the two main concerns with the request by the Utilities to locate the tower in a park are aesthetics versus economics and land use. Park and Recreation Commissioner Dave Anderson talked about the impact a water tower would have on Hillside City Park. specifically relating to the trees. potential oak wilt, aesthetics and the considerable cost to construct a retaining wall.
