City of <br /> <br />lver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />'FROM: <br /> <br />Park & Recreation COmmission <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building & Zoning <br />Administrator <br /> <br />.DA~Eh. <br /> <br />June 12, 199~ <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Acquisition of a Portion of Hillside Park <br /> by Sherburne County Highway <br /> Department <br /> <br />""'Sherbu~ne County is proposing to upgrade County Road # 12 to County <br /> State Aid (CSA) standards in 1997. To meet these standards the hill <br /> adjacent to Hi]!side Park will need to be lowered. <br /> <br />Just to the east of the park there is an existing driveway that is already very <br />steep. This driveway serves three residences. If the county road is lowered, <br />as proposed, the driveway will be at an intolerable 15% grade. <br /> <br />The County is proposing to relocate the driveway to the east and bring its <br />grade down to less than 10%. To do this they would need to cut through the <br />southeast corner of Hillside Park (see attached drawing). The County is <br />requesting to acquire the property necessary to accomplish this. <br /> <br />For safety reasons staff and the Park and Recreation Commission are <br />recommending approval of the County's request with the following <br />conditions: <br /> <br />That the City does not retain ownership of the property the driveway <br />crosses. The County is proposing to include this property as County <br />right-of way in a plat. <br /> <br />That a fair price for this property and additional land the County will <br />need to acquire to increase their R-O-W from 33 feet from centerhne to <br />50 feet is negotiated. <br /> <br />Harvey Ritchner of the County Engineering Department wLll be at <br />Wednesday night's meeting to address this issue further. Your <br />recommendation will be passed on to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br /> s:\b&zXsteverXcord 12.doc <br />130650_rono,. Parkway · P.O. Box 490 - Elk River.
