re:ee, <br /> • Viii —OWE rc R Croon Company <br /> June 11, 2001 <br /> File: 814760J-0240 <br /> Mr. Scott Harlicker <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> PO Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: CUB FOODS EXPANSION <br /> Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the submittal for the Cub Foods expansion. As you are aware, <br /> the Cub Foods store is located in Elk Park Center. The submittal package was prepared by <br /> Planmark Architecture and Engineering, and consisted of four sheets: an existing site <br /> conditions, site and landscape plan, grading and utility plan, and partial easement vacation. <br /> • Based on our review and comments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the <br /> following comments: <br /> 1. The proposed expansion is directly to the south of the existing store and consists of <br /> 20,267 SF. This expansion will bring the entire store area to just over 80,000 SF. <br /> 2. There is a slight conflict between sheets 2 and 3 and sheet 4. Sheet 4 is the partial <br /> easement vacation, and shows a rectangular building. Sheets 2 and 3, which do not <br /> reflect the partial easement vacation, show the building notched in the southwest corner <br /> to remain out of the easement. With the proposed partial easement vacation, the <br /> remaining easement would still allow 25 feet to the closest point of the sanitary sewer <br /> and 30+ feet on the other side. This is public sanitary sewer, which is maintained by the <br /> City Sewer Department. We believe that with the partial easement vacation, there would <br /> still be remaining sufficient easement to operate and maintain the sanitary sewer. The <br /> existing watermain is further away from the partial easement vacation, so that facility <br /> should have sufficient easement remaining also. <br /> The only question we have regarding the partial easement vacation is who will prepare <br /> the description. Does the proposer want the City to prepare the easement vacation <br /> description, or will the proposer prepare it with the City reviewing it? <br /> 3. The proposed building expansion includes a drive-thru pharmacy window on the south <br /> side of the building. The entrance to the drive-thru will be off of the entrance road to the <br /> Cub Foods store and the Target store to the south. This is a relatively busy entrance <br /> M road. However, we do not believe the pharmacy drive-thru access will create significant <br /> problems. <br /> Ltr-060701-H arl iker.doc <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
