AUG-19-1999 14 32 HR GREEN CO. 651 644 2349 P.02/03 <br /> v --' Howard R, Green Company <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> August 19. 1999 <br /> File: 807040J-0240 <br /> Honor Chairman and Planning Commission <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: SEVEN OAKS PLAT <br /> CITY OF ELK RIVER <br /> Dear Planning Commission Members: <br /> As requested we have reviewed the submittal for the Seven Oaks Addition. The developer of <br /> the addition is VUndsor Development and the engineering consultant is Schoell and Madson, <br /> inc. The submittal consisted of a preliminary plat, preliminary grading, drainage, and erosion <br /> control plan, and preliminary utility plan. The storm drainage calculations were also submitted <br /> and reviewed. Staff did a preliminary review on the first submittal and then met with the <br /> • <br /> • developer and his engineer, based on that meeting many of our initial comments were <br /> addressed. Based on our review of the revised submittal, we still have the following comments: <br /> A. Preliminary Plat <br /> • The most westerly cul-de-sac was revised and shortened based on staff comments to <br /> come in conformance with the maximum length of 700 feet. This caused Lots 12 & 13 <br /> at the northern end of the cul-de-sac to be somewhat irregularly shaped. <br /> • Lot 32, Block 1 has a wetland in the middle of it that is proposed to be filled. The <br /> del:eloper will need to process this through Steve Rohlf's office and it will be reviewed <br /> by a TEC panel, convened by Steve Rohlf. <br /> • Phi: Hals has requested that snow storage easements be provided in the cul-de-sac <br /> areas. He has also requested that mailboxes be clustered to maximize the areas for <br /> sncw storage. <br /> • The recommendation from the Park and Recreation Committee was passed on to the <br /> developer and interpreted to mean the elimination of Lots 15 & 16, Block 2. The <br /> developer has chosen not to eliminate these two lots on his submittal. <br /> • Access to the development will be from the northeast corner off the County Road 1, the <br /> southeast corner off Elgin Court in Meadowvale Heights and at the southwest corner <br /> into M-Vale. The developer has researched Outlot A M-Vale Addition for the purposes <br /> of connecting the road in the future. The ownership of Outlot A is still in the name of the <br /> developer of M-Vale. We have suggested that the developer of Seven Oaks make <br /> contact with the owner of Outlet A and discuss transition of that ownership for purposes <br /> of extending the road. <br /> O:\PROJ1807040,!102401040-1901.august99.doo <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St, Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toil free 888/368-4389 <br />
