From: Tom and Rita Johnson <br />To: Green, Jennifer <br />Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Staff Reports for ERMU Project <br />Date: Monday, September 21, 2020 9:29:23 AM <br />The expansion of the ERMU facilities Is a large project for our neighborhood which has been <br />residential for many years. It is important that a project of this magnitude is planned with <br />respect for the residents' investments in their homes; for many of us, it is our most valuable <br />asset. <br />As noted in the Conditional Use Application, the site plan is designed to be compatible with <br />the residential character of our neighborhood. The hours of operation are normal business <br />hours, except in an emergency. This is an important consideration. <br />Regarding aesthetics, the landscape as depicted in the site plan appears to be a continuation <br />of the current tree plantings which screen the existing Utility building. As the process moves <br />forward, I would like an opportunity to look at the full landscape plan in order to gain a better <br />sense of the visual impact. If the monument sign location and design is not included in the <br />landscape plan, I would appreciate an opportunity to review the signage, as well. <br />Thank you, <br />Rita Clark -Johnson <br />508 Tipton Ave. NW <br />Elk River, MN <br />
