Overview
The City of Elk River, in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Transportation,
has undertaken a public improvement project to realign Zane Avenue and connect it to the
plat of Mississippi Ridge. In addition, the median crossover and the entrance to old Yale
Street is being removed. In order to accomplish this, the City has worked with Saxon
Chevrolet and NAPA Automotive to acquire right-of-way swap land and vacate Yale Street.
The plat of Crossroads Second Addition is intended to clean up the parcel descriptions.

Analysis
Zane Avenue is being realigned from the plat of Mississippi Ridge North to the AmericInn.
As a result of the median crossover closure, the only access to NAPA Automotive, Saxon
Chevrolet, and AmericInn will be from 173rd Avenue or from 171~ Avenue.
The plat of Crossroads Second Addition will provide clean titles and legal descriptions to
Saxon Chevrolet and NAPA Automotive. It eliminates the lot lines from Crossroads First
Addition and incorporates vacated Yale Street into the Saxon Chevrolet parcel.
The new lots meet the dimensional requirements of the C3 Highway Business District. No
changes other than to the Saxon Chevrolet parking lot are being proposed.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing regarding the request at its August 27,
2002 meeting. No one spoke for or against the item. The Planning Commission voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the plat to the City Council.
Recommendation
Staff and the Planning Commission recommend that the City Council approve the
preliminary plat of Crossroads Second Addition. Staff recommends that the City Council
approve the final plat of Crossroads Second Addition.
