HOYT PARTNERS, LLP <br />P.O. BOX 277 <br />ELK RIVER, MN 55330 <br /> <br />December 21, 2000 <br /> <br />Michele McPherson, Director of Planning <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: Zone Change Application <br /> <br />Dear Michele: <br /> <br />Enclosed is an application to change the zoning for Outlot F, Elk Path <br />Business Center. We are requesting to change the zoning from Rla - <br />Single Family to Business Park. <br /> <br />This request is driven by the fact that Sherburne County wishes to <br />purchase this property. Please see the enclosed letter from Sherburne <br />County signed by Bruce Anderson, Sheriff and Brian Bensen, County <br />Administrator. <br /> <br />Also, the recent response of residents of Elk River Crossing to the <br />business park development has caused me to re-think our zoning. Even <br />though the residents of Elk River Crossing, a multi-family <br />development, knew the property across the street was zoned business <br />park, they still opposed this type of development. I don't want to <br />see the City face that same issue again with a single family <br />neighborhood when Elk Path Business Center begins to develop. It also <br />seems that a governmental use of Outlot F would provide a compatible <br />buffer between the existing single family neighborhood to the east and <br />the future business park to the west. <br /> <br />Please contact me if you have any questions or need any further <br />information. <br /> <br />Sincerely yours, <br /> <br />Enclosures <br /> <br /> <br />
