Howard R, Green Company <br /> <br />December 9, 2002 <br />File: 619960J-0240 <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Leesburg <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />GREENSCAPE LANDSCAPING <br />AMENDMENT TO CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Leesburg: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the information provided by Chris Stokke of Greenscape <br />Landscaping regarding the expansion of the landscaping business and proposed amendment to the <br />conditional use permit. A site plan submitted also provided proposed contours and a location of a <br />storm retention pond. Although no drainage calculations were provided, the pond is approximately <br />120 feet long by 50 feet wide and should provide sufficient capacity for the entire site. As you are <br />aware, this site is very close to the gravel mining area of the City of Elk River. Therefore, the soils in <br />the area are rather pervious. Given the rural nature of the site and the small development, it is my <br />opinion that the proposed grading plan, including the retention pond, is sufficient, and detailed <br />drainage calculations are not required to fully review this site. We would recommend approval of the <br />site plan/grading plan for the proposed expanded business. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
