March 16, 1993 File: 230-167-11 Mr., Steve Rohlf Building and Zoning Administrator City of Elk River 720 Dodge Avenue NW Elk River, MN 55330 RE: HILLTOP WOODS ESTATES Dear Mr. Rohlf: • As requested, we have reviewed the submittal for Hilltop Woods Estates. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: 1. The preliminary plat and grading and drainage plan were prepared by John Oliver and Associates, and were dated March 11, 1993. 2.
