Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH EXPANSION <br /> Dear Planning Commission Members: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the proposed expansion of the Union Congregational Church <br /> facility located along 4th Street. The plans we reviewed were prepared by Vanman Companies <br /> and were dated February 22, 1999. Based on our review and comments received at the staff <br /> review meeting, we would offer the following comments. <br /> 1. Bob McCarney of the Elk River Municipal Utilities indicated at the staff review meeting <br /> that the sewer and water services for the Church building extend from the existing house <br /> located on the west edge of the site. He thought that the services from the street went to <br /> the house and then were extended to the Church building. We would suggest that if this <br /> is the case that this situation be rectified with this expansion and that the Church facility <br /> have its own sewer and water services from 4th Street. <br /> 2. All of the drainage from this site flows directly to the street. The City has experienced <br /> some storm drainage problems in this area. In fact, one property located approximately <br /> one block east of this site has experienced periodic flooding of their home and garage. <br /> The Union Congregational Church site drainage flows through this same system. We <br /> point this out just for background. We do not believe that the proposed expansion of the <br /> Union Congregational Church will increase the runoff significantly from this site. The <br /> City has plans to undertake storm drainage improvements in the future when the streets <br /> in this area are reconstructed. <br /> 3. At the staff review meeting, Glen Sundeen indicated that the Church officials should <br /> contact him regarding electrical service to the facility. <br /> If you have any questions regarding any of these comments, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> HOWARD R.
