13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 April 18, 2005 File #: 813325J-0240 Ms. Michele McPherson Director of Planning City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: JACKSON PLACE FINAL PLAT Dear Ms. McPherson: As requested, we have reviewed the final plat for the Jackson Place Addition which will be the site of one of the proposed redevelopments in downtown Elk River, previously known as the Jackson Block. The plat was prepared by John Oliver and Associates. Based on our review and comments we noted in our September 22, 2004 preliminary plat review, we would offer the following comments: 1. The plat leaves an 80-foot right of way for Jackson Avenue. This will provide sufficient room to expand the sidewalk in front of the proposed building to be located in Jackson Place for easier pedestrian movements. 2. The plat provides limited access along the Trunk Highway 10 right of way, however, it does not provide limited access along J ackson Avenue as requested in the review of the preliminary plat. This should be added to the final plat. 3. The sanitary sewer line which runs along the easterly property line of this addition has been televised and reviewed with Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. It is both Gary and my conclusion that this line can be abandoned. 4. In my review of the preliminary plat, I noted that there are a number of small utility lines and facilities located within this area. I recommended that before a final plat can be approved, which does not contain easements for these facilities, there will need to be documentations from the owners of the various small utilities that they can and will be relocated outside of the plat boundary. This should be a condition on the final plat. Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax: 763.635.1090 www.cLelk-river.mn.us
