The developer's agreement for the Target project allows the City to <br />assess the Target lot for up to one-half of the project cost, so long as it does not exceed <br />$250,000. One of the conditions of the approval of Pinewood Estates Second Addition <br />required the developer to pay $1,500 per lot towards the reconstruction of Waco Street <br />similar to West Oaks Addition to the north. Attached for the City Council's consideration is <br />a resolution which would initiate the preparation of plans and specifications for this project. <br />It is anticipated that the plans would be prepared over the winter months and construction <br />could be undertaken in 2006. <br /> <br />The Elk River Municipal Utilities (ERMU) may want to include watermain to the east of the <br />Target site to complete their water loop. Staff would recommend this be added to the <br />project if requested by the ERMU and they agree to pay the cost as they have on recent <br />. . <br />reconstruction proJects. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your November 7, <br />2005 City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />T~ <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />S:\EngineerImprovProj\2005 Improvement Projects\ Waco Street Reconstruction\10 25 05 CC1tr.doc <br />www.cLelk-river.mn.us <br />
