(;') ! I . 1"':::1 /: ,I' r:; ~. iJ f It': F: u 0J Ii /..; December 21, 1992 Philip o. Martin Executive Vice President General Manager United Power Association P.O. Box 800 Elk River, MN 55330 Dear Mr. Martin: On behalf of Mayor Jim Tralle, I would like to acknowledge receipt of your November 20, 1992, letter regarding the potential purchase by UPA of some of the old City Hall property. The City was pleased to have received a written proposal from UPA following our discussions this past summer. In response to the six items listed in your November 20, 1992, ~ letter, the following comments are offered. 1. The City will need to retain a public easement across the western part of UPA Drive so that the public that uses the "park and ride" has access from Main Street through the driveway that goes down the hill into the parking area (item #3). 2. The City will agree to some type of restrictive covenants on the balance of the property not acquired by UPA, but the City needs to preserve the right to use the retained property in a governmental or a quasi governmental manner or by a nonprofit organization (item #5). By this, I mean it may be possible that a Chamber of Commerce building gets located on this property or, in the future, some type of City government or school building may be located on this property. 3. The City cannot agree to any provision that would restrict the authority or power of a future City Council to regulate the access from UPA Drive to Main Street (item #4) . ~ It is difficult to imagine a situation that could arise where the City Council would find it necessary to use its authority to restrict access from UPA Drive to Main Street, but that power rests solely with the City Council 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420
