Howard R, Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />May 13, 1998 <br />File: 803591J (0030) <br /> <br />Items 4.4 & 4.5. <br /> <br />Formerly MSA <br />Consulting Engineers <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />PO Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />GUARDIAN ANGELS LAKE ORONO DEVELOPMENT <br />PUBLIC HEARING <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />The public hearing for the proposed sanitary sewer and water main improvements associated <br />with the Guardian Angels Lake Orono Development is scheduled for Monday evening, May 18, <br />1998. Please bring the green-covered feasibility study, dated April 19, 1998. If you need a new <br />copy of the feasibility study, please inform City Hall and we will provide one. <br /> <br />As you will recall, Guardian Angels petitioned for sanitary sewer and water improvements to <br />serve their Lake Orono development. The development consists of 80 units of assisted living, <br />20 town homes along the lakeshore, and one commercial site. In order to provide adequate fire <br />protection, the feasibility study recommended that the watermain be looped easterly along the <br />Elk Motel to the existing water that dead-ends in the driveway to the Elk Bowl. All the costs <br />associated with improvements within the plat boundary of the Guardian Angels development are <br />proposed to be assessed to Guardian Angels. The watermain loop to the east and a short <br />extension of sanitary sewer to serve the Elk Motel and the other property in that area are <br />proposed to be assessed against those two properties with an additional contribution from the <br />Elk River Municipal Utilities. The improvement also calls for constructing a bituminous pathway <br />over the watermain corridor. This was a recommendation from the Park and Recreation <br />committee. The cost of the bituminous pathway is proposed to be financed with Park and <br />Recreation funds. <br /> <br />We will be prepared to make a brief presentation of the information contained within the <br />feasibility study at Monday evening's public hearing. After the presentation, we will be available <br />to answer questions that the City Council and/or public may have regarding the proposed <br />improvements. At the close of the public hearing, it would be appropriate for the City Council to <br />consider the attached resolution, which orders the improvement and the preparation of plans <br />and specifications for the project. <br /> <br />O:~ROJ\803591J\591-1309. may.doc <br /> <br /> 1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 ° 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389 <br /> <br /> <br />
