City of River November 30, 1994 Dwight Kirkeide 11230 173rd Avenue NW Elk River, MN 55330 Dear Mr. Kirkeide: This letter is a follow-up to the phone conversation we had concerning your refuse and recycling pickup and delinquent refuse bill balance for your residence located at 11230 173rd Avenue, Elk River, Minnesota. Your complaint stresses that no curb-side refuse and recycling service has been provided at the front property line of your residence. Therefore, you will not pay for the service, as you claim that it was not provided. You also mentioned that 173rd Avenue extends to your property line and is a city street, therefore, refuse and recycling service should be provided at the edge of your property. The City of Elk River does not agree that the road easement to the edge of your property is a city street. There is an easement for road purposes from Highway 10 to your property, however, it is not classified as a city street nor built or maintained to the city's minimum specifications. The access basically acts as a private driveway to your property and cannot accommodate large refuse and recycling vehicles, due to the narrow width of the roadway. Refuse service is provided at the closest publicly-maintained street which is Highway 10. As you are aware, the City of Elk River has passed a mandatory refuse and recycling ordinance requiring everyone in the City to use the refuse service provided by the City. Due to the confusion of the situation and because you never used the service provided, the City of Elk River will remove the past due charge as of December 31, 1994. However, starting January 1, 1995, you will be billed and required to pay for the refuse and recycling service in accordance with the City ordinance. The service will be provided along Highway 10 and you will be billed whether you use this service or not. P.O. Box 490 · 13065 Orono Parkway · Elk River, MN 55330 · (612) 441-7420 · Fax: (612) 441-7425
