Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br />June 16, 1999 <br />File: 805330J-0240 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: MEADOWVALE TOWNHOMES <br />FINAL PLAT <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As requested we have reviewed the final plat for the Meadowvale Townhomes subdivision. <br />Based upon our review we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />1. The final plat is providing a 46' wide drainage and utility easement along the road <br />corridors for the installation for the public sanitary sewer and water systems. It appears <br />that a hydrant located at the southeast corner of the development may fall outside of the <br />drainage and utility easement. If this is the case, additional easements should be <br />provided at this location. <br />2. It should be spelled out clearly in the development agreement that the storm sewer in <br />the subdivision is privately owned and maintained because the storm sewer will likely fall <br />primarily in the drainage and utility easement along with the publicly owned sanitary <br />sewer and water main. <br />3. The sanitary sewer to serve the subdivision will be coming from the intersection of 193rd <br />Avenue and Meadowvale Road. It will come along the east side of Meadowvale Road <br />adjacent to the proposed Hidden Creek subdivision just north of Meadowvale <br />Townhomes. If additional easements are not provided at this time along the proposed <br />hidden creek subdivision it will be impossible to install the sanitary sewer without <br />encroaching on private property. The sanitary sewer is proposed to fall under a <br />bituminous pathway adjacent to the right-of-way line. We would suggest that the <br />proposed Hidden Creek subdivision provide the typical 10' drainage and utility easement <br />along its western boundary in order to facilitate installation and ongoing maintenance of <br />the sanitary sewer system. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments I will be in attendance at your June 21, <br />1999 meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
