RE: ELK RIDGE CENTER
* FINAL PLAT AND EASEMENT VACATION
Dear Mr. Hadicker:
As requested, we have reviewed the proposed easement vacations and final plat for the Elk Ridge
Center development As you are aware, this is the development located on Outlot A of the
Brentwood subdivision. Schoelt and Madson, Inc., prepared the documents we reviewed. Based
on our review, we would offer the following comments:
i. The easement vacations requested are drainage and utility easements provided as part
of the Brentwood Addition plat, drainage and utility easements orovided as pad of the
/.4 ~ - ~rd
Ridgewoo,~ b.,s~ ,~ Addition plat, and a drainage easement aton'g the south frontage of
197th Avenue. The larger drainage and utility easements used for actual storm water
drainage off of the perimeter City streets will be re-granted through the final plat. The
two conditions we would suggest as part of granting the easement vacations are that
the appiicant ensure that there are no small utiiity uses for the perimeter drainage and
utility easements requested for vacation, and the final plat be recorded to rededicate the
drainage and utility easements needed for storm drainage.
2. The final plat of Elk Ridge Center proposes to divide the property into seven out!ots
while providing the public rights-of-way for Holt Street and the realignment of 197~
Avenue. Obviously, as each outlot begins to develop into a commercial establishment,
it will need to be reptatted. The two conditions we would recommend for the approval of
the final plat are that the drainage and utility easements around the perimeter of the site
· and along the street rights-of-way be dedicated on the this final pl~t, even though the
tots that these drainage and utility easements would be over are currently outiots. Holt
Street may be built before al! of the outlots are replatted, and those drainage and utility
easements along the frontage and perimeters may be necessaw for the small utilities
and/or other planned improvements. Secondly, access control should be granted along
the TH 169 frontage as part of this plat.
any questions regarding comments on either of these issues, please caii.
if you have
Sincerely,
~owarc-- P Green '"-'
