• .ri Howard R. Green Company August 22, 2001 File: 815310J-0240 Ms. Michele McPherson Director of Planning City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway P.O. Box 490 Elk River, MN 55330-0490 RE: TROTT BROOK FARMS SOUTH Dear Ms. McPherson: As you requested, we have reviewed the submittal package for the Trott Brook Farms South development. As you are aware, this is the approximately 40-acre site in the southeast quadrant of the intersection of Tyler Street and CSAH 12. The submittal package consisted of seven sheets including Existing Conditions/Survey Plan; Preliminary Plat; Preliminary Site Plan; Preliminary Grading, Drainage, and Erosion Control Plan; Preliminary Street Sections and • Profiles; Preliminary Utility Plan; and Preliminary Landscape/Tree Preservation Plan. These were all prepared by Westwood Professional Services and dated July 27, 2001. In addition, storm drainage calculations were supplied, also prepared by Westwood Professional Services and again dated July 27, 2001. Based on our review and comments received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: 1. The proposal is to develop the site into 19 single family lots and 137 multi-family lots. The development proposal does not include the Black residential home site in the corner of Tyler Street and CSAH 12. The development, however, does include the outlot from Elk River Crossing development along the east side of Tyler Street. This piece of property is currently owned by the City of Elk River, and a portion of the property is in the process of being given back to the Blacks to offset the easement the City acquired from them for the construction of Tyler Street. Any development of this property should include provisions to incorporate the Black property in the future. The City and the County do not want to see the Black property proposed to be developed in the future with access off of either Tyler Street or CSAH 12 because of the proximity to the intersection. Any access to the Black property for redevelopment in the future must come internally from Trott Brook Farms South. 2. The development proposes two access points — one to CSAH 12 at the eastern edge of the development. This will require a permit from Sherburne County. Sherburne County may require some additional construction such as a right turn lane. The second access proposed is to Tyler Street. Currently, it is shown approximately 600 feet south of the • intersection with CSAH 12 at a point where the median is not and cannot be opened to provide left turn access. This proposed access onto Tyler Street should be moved to be Ltr 8-22-01 McPherson[1].rev Page 1 1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389
