RE: GUARDIAN ANGELS LAKE ORONO SITE
Dear Council Members:
City staff has received the attached petition from Guardian Angels of Elk River requesting a
feasibility study to analyze the extension of lateral sanitary sewer and water to serve their Lake
Orono development. In order to provide adequate fire flow for the proposed development, it will
be necessary to loop the watermain from the southeast corner of the Guardian Angels site,
easterly along the TH 10 Frontage Road to the watermain that is stubbed under TH 10 near the
entrance to the Elk Bowl. Steve Ach and I have met with the owners of the Elk Motel to discuss
this potential improvement. They had indicated in our meeting that they would be also
interested in lateral sanitary sewer along with the water improvement. In addition, the Park and
Recreation Committee has requested a trail be considered from the Guardian Angels site along
TH 10 easterly to the Elk Bowl. The restoration over these utility improvements would be an
ideal opportunity to construct a bituminous pathway. Therefore, the Feasibility Study would
consider all of these improvements.
Attached for the City Council's consideration is a Resolution that would declare the adequacy of
the petition and order the Feasibility Study.
If you have any questions regarding this issue, I will be in attendance at your March 16, 1998
City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
Terry J. ~.E.
