<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />,.~ <br /> <br />March., 17, 2005 <br /> <br />Mr. Scott Harlicker, Senior Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, :MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: WERNERPETITION FOR INCLUSION IN <br />URBAN SERVICE DISTRICT <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> <br />As the Planning Commission and City Council consider the petition from the Wemer's and <br />several of their neighbors for inclusion of their property lying east of Cleveland Avenue <br />(County Road 40) into the Urban Service District, one of the main issues obviously is the <br />ability to provide sanitary sewer and water service to these properties. In 2004 the City <br />Council authorized a study of the availability of extension of city sanitary sewer service in <br />three areas of the city, this being one of them. The conclusion of that study was that <br />sufficient capacity can be provided at the W asterwater Treatment Plant facility for the <br />extension of sanitary sewer collection system to provide service to the entire area lying north <br />of County Road 12 and east of County Road 40. Sewage flow from this area and the Cargill <br />property, which was another of the three areas looked at, is limited only by the capacity of <br />the major lift station located adjacent to Trunk Highway 169. In other words, any additional <br />capacity dedicated to this area in question lying east of County Road 40 will have somewhat <br />of a limiting factor on the amount of sewage capacity that can be provided to the Cargill <br />area. With that being said, if the Planning Commission and City Council deem that the <br />rezoning and inclusion into the Urban Service District is appropriate for this property, city <br />sanitary sewer and water service can easily be provided. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, please call. <br /> <br />Sincrely,_ <br /> <br />T~~ <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />. . s:\PLANNING\Case Files\200s\LU 05-01 Wemer\03 1705 Engineer's memo.doc <br />www.C1.elk-nver.mn.us <br />
