SEPTEMBER 8, 1993
DATE:
SUBJECT: FORMER RAILROAD PROPERTY PARKING
LOT IMPROVEMENTS
INTRODUCTION
The Elk River City Council will be asked to approve a design
for the proposed parking lot improvements at the former
railroad property, bounded by Jackson Avenue, U.S. Highway 10,
Hunts Feeds, and the railroad tracks. An illustration of the
proposed improvements is attached to this memo.
BACKGROUND
e
On September 1st, the Elk River Downtown Development
Corporation met to review various illustrations for the Jackson
Square parking lot improvement project. Members of the
Corporation voted to recommend to the Elk River Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) the design which would enable
perpendicular parking on this site.
At its meeting on September 7th, the HRA reviewed this
illustration and took into consideration the recommendation by
the Development Corporation. The HRA voted to recommend that
the City Council approve the perpendicular design for parking
lot improvements on this site, and, that these improvements
occur in conjunction with the activities at Jackson Square.
Again, the HRA would be the funding mechanism for this
City-owned lot. Funds are available under the HRA's category
of parking lot improvements, or, under the category funds
reserved for future projects.
The HRA's September 7th agenda memo is also included for
Council comment.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Elk River City Council is asked to approve a design for
parking lot and landscaping enhancements for the area bounded
by Jackson Avenue, U.S. Highway 10, Hunts Feeds, and the
railroad tracks. The preferred layout allows for perpendicular
parking; however, the Council may choose to approve any design
it sees fit.

SUBJECT: AGENDA MEMO FOR SEPTEMBER 7TH HRA MEETING
6. Former Railroad Parking Lot Improvements
Street/Park Superintendent, Phil Hals, and his staff have
put together an illustration for certain parking lot
improvements on the former railroad property bounded by
Jackson Avenue, U.S., Highway 10, Hunt's Feeds, and the
railroad tracks. This illustration was also reviewed by
the 'Development, Corporation ,at its meeting on September
1st.
It maybe appropriate to implement improvements on this
site due to the cost savings relative to the curbing work
required by the Jackson Square site and for this site.
That is, should the HRA-City decide to move forward with
parking and landscape improvements here, a curbing
contractor can simply go from one site to the other rather
than to return in, say the spring, at what would likely be
a higher cost. '
This illustration is an attempt to .continue the momentum
of certain parking improvements and landscaping
enhancements' that' are now occurring at or along Highway
'10. HRA funds for improvements here are available in the
1993 'budget, under ,the category of 'parking lot
improvements. Should the cost of both Jackson Square and
the former railroad property exceed what was set aside for
this item, additiona1 funds would be available under the
: category "Reserved for Future Projects".
Act~OriRequested
If the HRA Commissioners .are so inclined, they may wish to
move forward with parking and landscape enhancements on
this site too. As with Jackson Square, the Commissioners
should forward a recommendation to the City Council for
implementation.
