• FP-4;1;47- <br /> V-, ,-.. Howard R. Green Company <br /> CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> September 20, 2000 <br /> File: 811170J-0240 <br /> Mr. Scott Harlicker <br /> Senior Planner <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> P.O. Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: MEADOWWOODS VILLAGE <br /> LYMAN DEVELOPMENT <br /> Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the submittal prepared by Lyman Development for the <br /> proposed Meadowwoods Village plat. The submittal package consisted of an 8-page <br /> plan set prepared by McCombs Frank Roos Associates, Inc., and also a letter from <br /> III James Johnston of Lyman Development, together with some attachments concerning an <br /> easement on the property. Based upon our review, comments received at the staff <br /> review meeting, and a meeting with the Developer and his engineer, we would offer the <br /> following comments: <br /> 1. The preliminary plat has been revised to show a connection westerly to 210th <br /> Avenue Northwest, as requested by staff. <br /> 2. Mr. Johnston indicates in his letter that all islands and entry features will be <br /> maintained by the Homeowners Association and that will be specifically spelled <br /> out this way in the Homeowners Association documents. <br /> 3. In the meeting with Mr. Johnston, staff indicated their concern with the easement <br /> shown along the north line of the piece of property. Mr. Johnston's letter and <br /> documentation that he submitted indicated that the owner of the property since <br /> 1942 had no knowledge of the easement and swore to an Affidavit of <br /> Identification to this effect. Universal Title has waived the easement as an <br /> exception to the clear title. As Mr. Johnston indicates in his letter, I concur that <br /> this should no longer be an issue to the City. <br /> 4. There are a number of places on the grading plan where drainage is shown to <br /> cross adjacent lots outside of the normally prescribed drainage and utility <br /> easements. Mr. Johnston indicated that in these areas additional easements <br /> would be granted on the final plat. <br /> • <br /> O:IPROJ1811170J10240Utr 9-20-00 Harlicker.rev.doc <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
