The project also includes a new drainage pipe from the wetland area north of County <br />Road 12 to County Ditch No. 10. <br /> <br />Once the design.was finalized, we staked the alignment of the proposed storm sewer through the <br />affected properties east of County Road 13 and north of County Road 12. We met with the <br />affected property owners, including George Deschenes, Industrial Hardfacing, Ronald Guenther, <br />and also Weldon Schultze. Enclosed are copies of letters they signed, indicating their <br />concurrence with the proposed easements, and their willingness to provide these easements at <br />no cost to the City of Elk River. Easement descriptions have been prepared for each of the <br />above listed property owners, and easement documents could easily be prepared by the City <br />attorney should the City Council want to proceed with the project. <br /> <br />We are continuing to coordinate the project with Sherburne County and the U.S. Army Corps <br />of Engineers. The Corps of Engineers has jurisdiction over the wetlands, while Sherburne <br />County has jurisdiction over the County Road right-of-way, and also the County Ditch. <br /> <br />Enclosed for your consideration is a resolution which approves the plans and specifications and <br />authorizes the advertisement for bids for the County Road 12/13 Drainage Improvements. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />y~ <C. ;1~ <br /> <br />David E.
