Overview
The Municipal Utilities continues to expand its water production facilities into the east Elk
River area. In order to accomplish this, well and water treatment facilities must be
constructed.
The subject property is a remnant property, which the city purchased for the Twin Lakes
Boulevard (Tyler Street) road construction. The west portion of the subject property has
been utilized for Twin Lakes Road fight-of-way and the remnant property will be utilized for
the well and treatment facility with a portion possibly being sold to the adjacent developer to
the east. Located on the property was a single family home and Quonset hut. The property
is currently vacant and has a large wetland complex in the southeast portion of the property.
The Utilities proposes to construct Well #7 on the subject property and in concert with the
well, will also construct a water treatment and processing facility.
Project Description
The Municipal Utilities proposes to construct a 26' x 74' water treatment building
constructed of pre-cast raked finished concrete panels. The structure will be 17' high with
an interior roof of 14'10". Located in the building will be a filter, a backwash reclaiming
area, and space for a variety of chemicals used in the treatment of water.
The proposed structure will be located on the east side of Twin Lakes Boulevard 50' from
the property line. One driveway access is proposed which will be a "right-in right-out" on
Twin Lakes Road. The surrounding area is predominantly residential and staff would
suggest minor modifications to present a more residential design for construction. This
would include modifying the roof and perhaps changing the concrete panels to have a brick-
like texture impressed into them.
A landscape plan was not submitted, however, staff did develop a plan which includes
evergreen trees and overstory trees.
Parking is not a requirement for the use of this building. The proposed access driveway will
also serve as a parking area for the employee who will check on the operation of the facility
on a regularly basis. Staff would suggest, however, that a turnaround be included to provide
space for trucks to back into for ease of turning around.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing at its June 26, 2001 meeting. No one
spoke for or against the request. The Commission tabled the request until the July 10, 2001
in order to review building material and design options.
Staff presented three building design options for the Commission to consider. The
Commission voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the project with design Option 3.
