• Item #: 9.C.2. <br /> City of MEMORANDUM <br /> ElkRiver TO: Park and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Michele McPherso , irector of Planning <br /> DATE: October 6, 2000 <br /> SUBJECT: Water Tower in Hillside City Park <br /> As the Commission may recall, Elk River Utilities attended the September 13, 2000 <br /> Commission meeting to discuss the possible location of a water tower in Hillside City <br /> Park. The Commission had a number of questions regarding this request. <br /> Attachments <br /> • Map of Highway 12 Corridor <br /> • Enlarged Trott Brook Farms Park Map <br /> • Hillside City Park Water Tower Location <br /> Purpose <br /> The purpose of a water tower is to provide adequate water supply and, more <br /> importantly, pressure for future residential development in east Elk River. While Trott <br /> Brook Farms will initially benefit from the tower construction, they are not the root cause <br /> of this request. <br /> Analysis <br /> Bryan Adams and I reviewed the Highway 12 corridor on Friday, September 29, 2000 in <br /> an attempt to find alternate locations for placement of the tower that would have less or <br /> no impact to City parkland or trees. We identified six possible sites. The following table <br /> identifies the pros and cons of each site: <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 490 • Elk River, MN 55330 • TDD & Phone (763) 441-7420 • Fax (763) 441-7425 <br />
