Howard R, Green Qompany <br /> <br /> NFORMATION <br /> <br />February 14, 2001 <br />File: 811970J-0325 <br /> <br />Mr. Roger Risser, P.E. <br />MnDOT District 3 <br />1991 Industrial Park Road <br />Baxter, MN 56425 <br /> <br />RE: HIGHWAY 169/COUNTY ROAD 33 INTERCHANGE <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Risser: <br /> <br />Annually, the City Council of Elk River and the Board of Commissioners of Sherburne County <br />meet to discuss items of common interest. This meeting took place last Monday evening. As <br />you might expect, the interchange proposed at the intersection of TH 169 and County Road 33 <br />was on the agenda. Approximately 25 to 30 residents of the area in the northeast quadrant of <br />this intersection showed up for the meeting. They voiced unanimous concern regarding the <br />possibility of rerouting County Road 21 southerly through their neighborhood to meet County <br />Road 33. <br /> <br />After approximately an hour-long discussion, the City Council of Elk River and the Board of <br />Commissioners of Sherbume County directed that this letter be sent to you voicing the City's <br />and the County's concern about the potential realignment of County Road 21 as a backage road <br />through the Heavenly Hills Subdivision. The City and the County would prefer to have the <br />frontage road option pursued further in hopes that the environmental issues could be overcome. <br />The City is also concerned about the cul-de-sacing of 207th Street, thus creating a situation <br />where a residential neighborhood only has one means of ingress and egress. Sherburne <br />County was concemed that if the realignment of County Road 21 is broken out from the IRC <br />project, there be no future costs to Sherbume County. <br /> <br />! would be happy to meet with you to discuss this issue further or help to facilitate a meeting <br />with the residents of the area or the City Council/County Board. Please let me know if you <br />would like to pursue any of these options. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R. Green Company <br />Terry JY.
