July l, 1996 <br /> <br />Ms. Sandi Thackeray, Clerk <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Road <br />Elk River, Mn. 55330 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Thackeray, <br /> <br />As a representative of The River's Edge Downtown Development Corp. we are asking the city for <br />permission to erect a replica Gazebo at the northeast comer of Main St. and Jackson Ave. This <br />would be in the Jackson Square block in Historic Downtown. It would require the removal of <br />two parking stalls and replacement of concrete curb (see sketch). The Gazebo would be 16' - 20' <br />fk in diameter and of wood construction. <br /> <br />We have been meeting with city staff and other downtown business owners regarding location and <br />size. We feel this is best suited because of the distance from the noise of Highway #169 and the <br />railroad. This location highlights the center of the Historic Downtown area. <br /> <br />The Gazebo (or bandstand) could be used for a variety of functions as well as a spot to rest. The <br />view to the south would be of the Mississippi River. <br /> <br />I am currently taking bids for the time and material to erect the Gazebo (bandstand) and to install <br />the necessary curb and gutter. <br /> <br />We feel that locating a replica Gazebo in the center of downtown would be a positive for the <br />community. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 241-1801. Thank You for <br />considering this item. <br /> <br />Respectfully, / <br /> <br />Marlon Glines : <br />River's Edge Downtown Development Corp. <br /> <br /> <br />
