<br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />November 28, 2005 <br /> <br />File: 226-108P <br /> <br />Mr. Scott Harlicker <br />Senior Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: GRAND RENTAL STATION SITE PLAN REVIEW <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> <br />I have reviewed the proposed site plan to convert the former lumber yard between Railroad <br />Drive and 4th Street west of J ackson Avenue into an equipment rental facility, known as <br />Grand Rental Station. The only comment I have front an engineering perspective is I <br />believe it would be better to set up the interior operation so that all customer traffic would <br />enter and exit the facility off 4th Street rather than Railroad Drive. Currently, the site plan <br />appears to have customers enter off Railroad Drive and exit the site on 4th Street. With the <br />proximity of Railroad Drive to TH lOon J ackson Avenue, this could cause periodic traffic <br />concerns as northbound vehicles on J ackson Avenue stop just north of the railroad tracks in <br />order to make a left turn onto Railroad Drive to access the Grand Rental Station. As you are <br />aware, at peak traffic times during the day, traffic backs up past Railroad Drive on Jackson <br />Avenue. <br /> <br />Other than this external traffic concern, I see no problems with the proposal for the Grand <br />Rental Station. If you have any questions, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~ . <br />T~ <br /> <br />City Engineer <br /> <br />Phone: 763.635.1000 <br />Fax: 763.635.1090 <br />. .
