GRE's issues of importance are as follows: <br /> <br />. The layout of the wastewater treatment expansion is optimized to keep the amount of GRE land needed to a <br />minimum and to not interfere with GRE's ability to access and maintain its facilities. Of the two options <br />presented thus far, Option 1 is preferred and results in the transfer of approximately 1.4 acres. <br />. GRE can continue to utilize the agreed upon land for its purposes until the City is ready to move ahead with <br />the expansion, which is not expected to be until approximately 2012 <br />. GRE needs at least a one year notice ahead of the City's need for the land <br />. GRE's 5 acre parcel to the north needs to be re-zoned as industrial and we need the ability to utilize the <br />area for outside storage with the understanding that GRE will provide adequate fencing and screening <br />. GRE needs the ability to utilize the 5 acre parcel to the north during construction of the Elk River peaker for <br />temporary storage of construction materials. This will require us to fill and level a part of the parcel <br />. If the City provides their support for the exemption, but the exemption is not granted, or if, for other reasons, <br />GRE does not proceed with the project prior to the City needing the land, transfer of the land will require <br />payment at an agreed upon commercial value <br /> <br />I look forward to continuing working on this project with you. <br />Best regards, <br /> <br />Joseph Jubert <br />Great River Energy <br />763-241-2264 <br /> <br />2/16/2007 <br />
