Box 490 <br /> Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> RE: MEADOW PARK SECOND ADDITION <br /> Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the preliminary plat of Meadow Park Second Addition. <br /> As you are aware, this is the plat of Outlot A of Meadow Park Addition. This piece of <br /> • property is a vacant lot adjacent to Dr. Johnson's facility on Main Street near TH 169. <br /> Based on our review, we would offer the following comments: <br /> 1. The plat should provide additional right-of-way along Main Street. This right-of- <br /> way should be a minimum of 12 feet in width at the east property line and can <br /> taper down to the existing right-of-way width at the west property line. The <br /> additional right-of-way is necessary for future expansion of Main Street and the <br /> addition of sidewalk behind the curb. <br /> 2. Ultimately, the development of all the property south of Main Street will require <br /> the extension of Carson Street through Dr. Johnson's property into Earl Hohlen's <br /> property. When Carson Street is extended to the south, it is recommended that <br /> the driveway from Meadow Park Second Addition access onto Carson Street. If <br /> Meadow Park Second Addition is developed prior to the extension of Carson <br /> Street to the south, it will need a driveway onto Main Street. Any temporary <br /> driveway on Main Street should line up with the Burger Time driveway <br /> immediately north of Main Street. Ultimately, when Carson Street is developed, <br /> there should be access control across the Main Street frontage. <br /> 3. As far as we could determine, this property has never been assessed for trunk or <br /> lateral sanitary sewer and watermain benefit. The property should pay a trunk <br /> sewer and water assessment at a rate equivalent with the East Elk River project. <br /> That rate in 1998 was $6,000 an acre. The rate for lateral sanitary sewer water <br /> is $50 per front foot. <br /> IP <br /> 0:1PROJ1811740J\0240Utr 9-20-00 Harlicker.dac <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br />
