aw West Highway 96 St. Paul, Minnesota 33112 464d301 City Council City of Little Canada 515 East Little Canada Road St. Paul, MN 55117 Gentlemen: 16 Fourth Avenue B.E. St. Cloud, Minnesota 36 M1 251.7751 314 Oak St. Sauk Centro, Minnesota NM 334.9664 Sept. 7, 1977 At the public hearing held in Little Canada on July 27, 1977, on the proposed watermain improvements, it was pointed out that the proposed location for the elevated tank was at the intersection of Allen Avenue with DeSota Street. Since that time it has been determined that houses exist on the northeast corner and the southeast corner of this intersection. The property on the northwest corner is owned by a party from California and in the past it has been difficult to obtain an easement across this property. It probably would have to be condemned in order to gain title to it and this would take time. The southwest corner of this intersection is owned by local residents. Some trees exist on this site but in the area proposed for this water tank (250'along Allen Avenue by 230' along DeSota St.) the area consists mainly of brush and small trees. After considerable discussion in this office, we recommend that soil tests be taken on the site at the southwest corner of Allen Avenue and DeSota Street for the following reasons: 1. A corner site would not break up a developable tract. 2. The soils in this area are similar to those in the surrounding area as determined from previous sewer projects. 3. No substantial amount of new roadway will be required at this time. 4. This site exists on a tract adjacent to the proposed 16" main. 5. The land is empty. 6. The site is not being used for agriculture at this time so cropland will not be taken. 1244 CLERK'S EXHIBIT NO MEETING-9-14-77 Original on Pile under water tower Imp. 77-6-
