13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 December 9, 2005 File: 226-094P Mr. Chris Leeseberg Planner City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, MN 55330 RE: VAN DEN BERG ADDITION FINAL PLAT Dear Mr. Leeseberg: As requested, we have reviewed the final plat for the Van Den Berg Addition. As you are aware, this plat includes a short cul-de-sac on 17Sth Circle which had sanitary sewer and water improvements installed several years ago. There will be five lots on the cul-de-sac and an additional five lots on existing Tyler Street. The lots on Tyler Street already have permanent street in front of them and sanitary sewer and water services have been extended to each of these potential lots with a previous project. The final plat is similar to the approved preliminary plat; therefore, we would recommend approval of the final plat. There are several issues that should be addressed in the Development Agreement for this final plat. They are as follows: 1. The former driveway for the Van Den Berg property exiting onto CSAH 12 should be removed and replaced with barrier curb and boulevard immediately in the spring of 2006. 2. The plat should pay a seal coat impact fee of $750.00. 3. It is my understanding that Mr. Van Den Berg has a potential buyer for the entire plat. As you are aware, Mr. Van Den Berg has a homestead on lot 5 and a pole building which falls on lot 6. We understand that the buyer may want to utilize the entire parcel as a homestead for some period of time before selling off lots. The Developer's Agreement should clearly spell out that the lots will not be considered buildable until a minimal housepad has been graded into each lot and a development plan submitted, reviewed, and approved. Lot 6 it will also require removal of the pole barn. Phone: 763.635.1000 Fax: 763.635.1090 www.cLelk-river.mn.us S:\Engineer\2005 Letters\12 0905 Van Den Berg.doc
