Mr. Steve Rohlf <br /> Ill April 16, 1997 <br /> Page Two <br /> Therefore, I believe it is not unreasonable to expect Bauerly Brothers to participate in the <br /> hard surfacing of 225th Avenue from their plant to TH 10. This would also seem to be <br /> consistent with how the City treated other similar applications. However, after <br /> reviewing the situation with Phil Hals, it is not as simple as just paving that section of <br /> roadway. Currently, the roadway section is substandard and not ready for paving. There <br /> should be additional work done to the roadway to establish ditches and drainage, along <br /> with a better landing area at the intersection with TH 169. <br /> The other issue that complicates this is the existence of additional gravel operations just <br /> out of the City of Elk River in Livonia Township that also use 225th Avenue to access <br /> TH 169. As a compromise, I would suggest that through the CUP application, Bauerly <br /> Brothers, Inc., be required to participate to a certain level in the upgrading of 225`h <br /> Avenue either now or sometime in the near future. The timing to be determined by the <br /> City of Elk River, since they will also have a participation in the upgrading of that road. <br /> Bauerly Brothers' contribution could either be in the form of cash or in-kind services <br /> such as gravel and/or bituminous surfacing. <br /> • With regard to the issue of safety and visibility for trucks accessing 225th Avenue from <br /> the plant operations, I would suggest that appropriate signing indicating to vehicle traffic <br /> on 225th Avenue that there is a plant access and may be slow moving vehicles accessing <br /> 225th Avenue would be appropriate. <br /> If you have any other questions regarding this application, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> C <br /> ,0:21-edei_2 <br /> Terry J. aurer, P.E. <br /> TJM:kh <br /> 356-1605.apr <br /> 110 <br />
