Howard R, Green Gompany <br /> <br />June 11, 2001 <br />File: 814790J-0240 <br /> <br />Mr. Scott Harlicker <br />Senior Planner <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />PO Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: ARNIE AND MARILYN ENGSTROM ADMINISTRATIVE SUBDIVISION <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Harlicker: <br /> <br />As requested, we have reviewed the administrative subdivision for the Arnie and Marilyn <br />Engstrom property. The property is located on the west side of County Road 32 (Meadowvale <br />Road) just south of 209"~ Avenue. Based on our review, we would offer the following comments. <br /> <br />1. The administrative subdivision proposes to take a parcel of land just over 22 acres and <br /> create three separate parcels. Parcel A is proposed to be 10.83 acres, Parcel B, which <br /> contains the existing house and outbuildings, is 5.74 acres, and Parcel C is 5.62 acres. <br />2. Approximately 1.94 acres of Parcel B, including the house and garage, falls outside the <br /> City of Elk River into Big Lake Township. We question whether or not approval of this <br /> administrative subdivision needs to be provided by Big Lake Township also, due to the <br /> portion of the property that falls in the Township. <br />3. A separate description should be provided for the right-of-way of 209t~ Avenue so that it <br /> can be dedicated to the City of Elk River. <br />4. A separate description needs to be provided for Meadowvale Road. The administrative <br /> subdivision shows 33 feet of right-of-way along the road. We question whether this is <br /> sufficient. The administrative subdivision should be reviewed by Sherbume County. <br /> Typically they ask for 50 feet in new subdivisions along County roads. <br />5. Drainage and utility easements need to be provided along all lot lines; five feet on either <br /> side of all common lot lines, and 10 feet around the perimeter lot lines of the subdivision. <br />6. A proposed house location is shown on Parcel A with proposed pdmary and alternate <br /> septic locations. There is no such designation shown on Parcel C. We question <br /> whether there is a buildable site on Parcel C, given that there is no topography and there <br /> is a large area of wetland shown. The wetlands have been delineated according to a <br /> note on the Certificate of Survey by Kjolhaug Environmental Services Co. However, no <br /> report has been provided. Topo should be shown on Parcel C together with the house <br /> area and primary and alternate septic locations. <br />7. The proposed ddveway to the home site on Parcel A crosses the delineated wetlands. <br /> This will need to be reviewed by Steve Rohlf for WCA requirements. <br />8. Parcel A and Parcel B show sharing a common driveway. This also needs to be <br /> reviewed by Sherburne County regarding access to the three parcels. <br /> <br />Ltr-060701-Harliker. doc <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 · 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
