<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River; MN .55330 <br /> <br />January 18, 2005 <br />File: <br /> <br />Ms. Michele McPherson <br />Director of Planning <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: WESTBOUND LIQUOR STORE <br /> <br />Dear Ms. McPherson: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As you are aware, we have prepared the grading, drainage and erosion control plan, along <br />with the utility plan for the proposed Westbound Liquor Store in conjunction with the City's <br />architectural firm of Tushie Montgomery. We have been working with the City's architect to <br />determine a building elevation which will drive the grading elevation of the site. With the <br />original development of the Fox Haven addition, storm sewer ponding was taken care of by <br />expanding the ponding area north of 181st Avenue. Therefore, no on-site storm sewer <br />ponding or quality control of storm drainage is required. The site will receive sanitary sewer <br />and water service from existing stubs that will be extended to the building site. Because of <br />the length of the sanitary sewer, servicecleanouts will be appropriately placed along the <br />route. Working with Fire Chief Bruce West, we have determined that one hydrant located <br />near the northeast comer of the building will be adequate for fire protection. <br /> <br />We have had preliminary discussions with representatives ofMnDOT regarding clearing of <br />trees within the highway right-of-way. MnDOT has given an informal approval to this and <br />we have submitted a formal permit application along with the site landscaping plan, <br />requesting-authorization to remove the trees located within the highway right-of-way. We <br />are still working on the dirt balance for the site. Initial soil borings have indicated the <br />presence. ofa significant amount of topsoil material, which can obviously not be placed in <br />the building pad or the parking lot areas. If a location cannot be determined to mine good' <br />material on site and dispose of the topsoil material in an appropriate location, import of <br />good material may be necessary to this site. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br /> <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.LtS <br />
