POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT <br />MINNEAPOLIS REGIONAL OFFICE <br />572 NICOLLET AVENUE <br />MINNEAPOLIS 2, MINNESOTA <br />Mr, Donald Mehsikoner <br />Village Clerk <br />Lake Elmo, Minnesota <br />Dear Mr. Mehsikonerc <br />May 22, 1961 <br />The Post Office Department is considering the acceptance of an <br />option, as a site for a leased post office building, on Lot No. 30, <br />and the sough 40' of Lot- No. 29, Auditor's Plat No, g, in the Vil- <br />lage of Lake Elmo. This land lies on the east side of Lake Elmo <br />road, a short distance south of Third Street, <br />Will you please inform me if the Village of Lake Elmo has any <br />special requirements that should be followed if a post office build- <br />ing is constructed on this land? Are there any special requirements <br />in regard to a well, a septic tank, and a dry well? is this land <br />zoned for a commercial building? Are there any requirements that <br />the building be set in from the property lines? Post office build- <br />ings are constructed with fireproof walls, but wood beams might be <br />used in the roof. Is a completely fireproof roof required? <br />It is my understanding that the -property line between Lots 30 <br />f and 31 'lies in about the center of a drainage ditch. I assume there <br />is a requirement that this ditch be kept open for drainage purposes. <br />Is there any requirement as to the distance that must be maintained <br />from this ditch, or from the south line of 'Lot No. 30, when'con- <br />structing a building or a driveway? <br />If you will give me this information, and any additional infor- <br />mation that might have bearing on the construction of a post office <br />building on this land, I will very much zppreciate it. A self-ad- <br />dressed envelope, which requires no postage, is enclosed for your <br />convenience. <br />Sincerely yours, <br />H. T. Orr <br />Regional Real Estate Officer <br />rl <br />
