<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />July 28, 2005 <br />File: 226-066P <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Leeseberg <br />Gty of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: MEADOWVALEADDITION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Leeseberg: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the preliminary and fmal plats prepared by John Oliver & <br />Associates for the proposed Meadowvale Addition. Based on our review and comments <br />received at the staff review meeting, we would offer the following comments: <br /> <br />1. The proposal is to subdivide an approximately 31-acre parcel of land lying west of <br />County Highway 32 and north of 225m Avenue into three lots. Because of the need to <br />dedicate right-of-way to both roadways, the lots will all be just under the 10-acre <br />minimum. This project received a variance to lot size from the Board of Adjustments <br />on Tuesday, July 26,2005. <br /> <br />2. The plat provides 50 feet of right-of-way along the east side for County Highway 32 and <br />33 feet of right-of-way along the south side for 225m Avenue. <br /> <br />3. The wetlands along the westerly and northerly portion of the property have been <br />delineated by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Company. It appears that there is no <br />impact to any of the wetland areas. <br /> <br />4. Each of the three lots has a reasonably-sized area of high ground area to construct a <br />home, along with a primary and secondary septic system and well. <br /> <br />5. Lots 1 and 2 are proposed to have a shared driveway onto County Highway 32, and Lot <br />3 is proposed to have a driveway to the south onto 225m Avenue. <br /> <br />6. There are existing buildings on Lots 1 and 2. The existing home is on Lot 1, along with <br />several out buildings on Lots 1 and 2. We assume that the buildings on Lot 2 will be <br />removed prior to a new home being constructed. <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br /> <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
