Fr/' ,-- <br /> ..�i Howarc R. Green Company <br /> December 9, 2002 <br /> File: 819960J-0240 <br /> Mr. Chris Leesburg <br /> City of Elk River <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway <br /> Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> RE: GREENSCAPE LANDSCAPING <br /> AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> Dear Mr. Leesburg: <br /> As requested, we have reviewed the information provided by Chris Stokke of Greenscape <br /> Landscaping regarding the expansion of the landscaping business and proposed amendment to the <br /> • conditional use permit. A site plan submitted also provided proposed contours and a location of a <br /> storm retention pond. Although no drainage calculations were provided, the pond is approximately <br /> 120 feet long by 50 feet wide and should provide sufficient capacity for the entire site. As you are <br /> aware, this site is very close to the gravel mining area of the City of Elk River. Therefore, the soils in <br /> the area are rather pervious. Given the rural nature of the site and the small development, it is my <br /> opinion that the proposed grading plan, including the retention pond, is sufficient, and detailed <br /> drainage calculations are not required to fully review this site. We would recommend approval of the <br /> site plan/grading plan for the proposed expanded business. <br /> Ifou have any y questions regarding this information, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Howard R.
