RE: ELK PARK CENTER INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Dear Council Members:
As directed by City Council on February 7, 1994, we have prepared plans and specifications
for the Elk Park Center Internal and External Street Improvements. These improvements
include Freeport Street from School Street to Jackson Avenue, the widening of School Street
from Trunk Highway 169 to Jackson Avenue, and the widening of Jackson Avenue from
School Street to Trunk Highway 169. Also included are the signalization of the intersections
of School/Jackson and School/Freeport. In addition, there are improvements to Trunk
Highway 169 by the addition of the northbound left turn lane at School Street and the right-
in/right-out and short extension of 191st between Trunk Highway 169 and Freeport Avenue.
According to the project schedule laid out in the February 1994 feasibility study, these plans
and specifications are being brought forward the same time as the final plat and developer's
agreement. The schedule indicates that bids would be received in mid-May, contract
awarded, with construction to begin immediately after the close of the 1993/1994 school
year. Attached is a draft resolution which approves the plans and specifications and
authorizes the advertisement for bids. We would recommend City Council adoption of this
resolution.
If you have any questions regarding this, I will be in attendance at your April 21st special
meeting.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS

RE: CITY OF ELK RIVER
STORM WATER IMPACT FEE
Dear Mr. Emmerich:
The City of Elk River has recently completed a Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan.
Following the completion of that plan, they are in the process of revising their assessment!
funding procedure for storm drainage improvements. The City Council, based on staff
recommendations, is considering a combination stormwater impact fee and surface water
management fee.
The stormwater impact fee would be charged to all developing properties at rates estimated to
be initially $600 per acre for all non-residential property, $100 per lot for urban residential
developments, and $50 per lot for rural residential developments. The surface water
management fee would be a user fee for storm drainage, likely billed monthly with the rate based
on the type of zoning or development. By instituting these two fees, the City would eliminate
any trunk storm drainage assessments. In other words, new developments would pay for any
internal storm drainage improvements plus the impact fee, but would not be assessed for
improvements outside of the immediate development.
Prior to recommending adoption of this policy to the City Council, staff would like to give
current Elk River developers a chance to comment. We expect to make a formal
recommendation to the City Council by mid to late May. If you have any questions or
comments regarding this proposed policy change, please either send them to me in writing or
call me at 644-4389. If you think it would be useful to have a developer/City staff meeting
regarding this issue, that could also be arranged for some time in early May.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
