City <br />E <br />fiver <br />- __ ---__ ---- - -- - __ ___-------MEMORANDUM---_ -_ <br />TO: Sheila Cartney, Senior Planner <br />FROM: Rebecca Haug, Environmental Administrator <br />DATE: August 14, 2007 <br />SUBJECT: 11230 173rd Ave- V 07-07 <br />Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to review the above variance application. I <br />have a few comments in regards to this application as this property is on the Mississippi <br />River. I realize the property owner has a considerable amount of acreage however; a <br />majority is in the floodplain. Looking at the plans it appears that the structure will be out <br />of the floodplain and meets the bluff setback of 30'. Erosion control measures must be <br />taken to prevent any sediment from leaving the site. Also, looking at the aerials photos of <br />the site, it appears that several trees will need to be cleared. Elk River has a huge <br />problem with oak wilt so I highly recommend not removing the trees between the months <br />of April-July. One last item, the city has no records of a septic permit on this property so <br />a compliance inspection is required to ensure that the septic system is in compliance. If <br />you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 763-635-1068. Thank you. <br />
