Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: WESTERN AREA FUTURE STORM SEWER <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br /> <br />With all the recent discussions relative to storm sewer in the Western Area of the City, we <br />have taken the liberty of contacting Markhurd relative to getting two-foot aerial topography <br />for the undeveloped portions of the Western Area. We believe it would be appropriate for <br />the City to take a proactive approach to future storm sewer construction in this area and <br />develop a much more detailed plan as to the methods of storm sewering the remainder of the <br />Western Area. Two-foot contours would be an absolute necessity to come up with a detailed <br />plan for this type of work. <br /> <br />As you can see from the quotation from Markhurd, the total cost of this mapping would be <br />between $6,000 and $6,800. In addition to Markhurd's charges, there would be the <br />necessity of providing them with vertical and horizontal controls from which to prepare their <br />mapping. Their proposal indicates a total of approximately 20 points would have to be <br />located. Not knowing exactly where these points are, we would estimate the total survey <br />crew time at approximately $2,500 to $3,500 to accomplish this. Therefore, the total cost <br />to acquire mapping of the remainder of the undeveloped area in the western part of the City <br />would be approximately $10,000. The City could likely recover at least a portion, if not all, <br />of this money by selling the topography back to Developers as various parts of this area are <br />1326 Energy Park Drive platted. <br /> <br />St. Paul, MN 55108 <br />612-644-4389 <br />Fax: 612-644-9446 <br /> <br />e 9800 Shelard Parkway <br />Minneapolis, MN 55441 <br />612-546-0432 <br /> <br />Fax: 612-544-6398 <br /> <br />I am not necessarily suggesting the City proceed immediately with this; however, I do <br />believe that consideration should be given to taking this type of approach. In the future, I <br />would like to make the same recommendation for the East Trunk Highway 10 corridor, as <br />that area gets closer to development. <br />
