RE: Thompson Addition
Dear Ms. McPherson;
We have reviewed the proposal for Thompson Addition. On March 17, 2004 Richard Thompson
applied for and received an Access Permit to CSAH 1 for this ten acre parcel. There is an existing field
access to CSAH 1 that will serve this property. We reserve the fight to eliminate this access to CSAH 1
when future development occurs and an interior street network is designed and available. At that time
this access to CSAH 1 will be eliminated. Any redevelopment of Thompson Addition and/or the
remaining acreage lying adjacent to it will then be required to access 221 st Avenue.
Because of the CSAH 1 reconstruction project that is scheduled for 2005, Sherburne County will
upgrade the driveway slopes as necessary and install new culverts at that time. Our preliminary right of
way plat proposal for the reconstruction of CSAH 1 shows a 50' right of way planned for this segment.
We require Mr. Thompson dedicated this right of way to Sherburne County in fee title. We are not
opposed to the City requiring additional ROW for their future trail connections.
We have advised the Thompson's to develop a comprehensive plan for development of their property
because their options may become more limited with less road frontage. The position and placement of
the house, septic and out buildings should be considered because of the future access issue.

RE: THOMPSON ADDITION
Dear Mr. Harlicker:
As requested we have reviewed the proposed administrative subdivision referred to as the
Thompson Addition. As you are aware it is located on the east side of CSAH 1 north of 221st
Avenue. It is essentially creating one ten acre lot from a larger piece of property. The subdivision
does provide adequate right of way for CSAH 1, meets all the lot dimensional requirements and
provides the necessary drainage and utility easements around the perimeter. We have also
reviewed the legal description and found it to be correct. Therefore we would recommend approval
of the Thompson Addition as presented.
If you have any questions regarding this issue, please call.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
