NORTHWEST ASSOCIATED CONSULTANTS INC. March 28, 1983 Mr. Duncan McClellan 2300 3rd Street N.W. New Brighton, Minnesota 55112 RE: Little Canada - Heather Oaks File No: 758.09 - 82.08 Dear Mr. McClellan: W MAR 31 1983 CITY OF LITTLE CANADA As a follow -up to the City Council meeting on 23 March, I am writing to document our understanding of the issues and status in your applications relative to Heather Oaks. 1. Drainage. The City Council's apparent primary concern is drainage in the area of your property. I believe that it is fully recognized that this natter is not totally your responsibility, but that until such time as this matter is resolved, the City cannot proceed to allow a greater runoff and compound the existing situation. As I have suggested to you, I would urge that you stay in contact with Mr. Carley on his pursuing this matter. 2. Viking Drive Setbacks. There was some indication that the Council would possibly accept the requested variances to the front yard setback in view of the excessive distance to the paved portion of the road. It was in fact suggested that if increased useable open space might be created to the rear of the units, a further reduction of the front yard might be considered. 3. Viking Drive Curb Cuts. As we discussed by phone, a clarification by MnDOT is required as to what they are saying relative to the curb cuts onto Viking Drive. We presume that you will follow through on this and supply appropriate documentation. If our office can, however, be of assistance regarding this matter, please contact me. 4. Recreation Area. While this addition as recommended by the Planning Commission did not receive a highly positive response from the Council, I do believe it is an item that should be maintained in the plan as long as it does not negatively affect water storage capacity and drainage. 4820 minnetonka boulevard, suite 420 minneapolis, mn 55416 612/925 -9420
