ST.PAUL.MINN.55104 <br /> November 8, 1974 <br /> The Honorable City Council <br /> CITY OF HUGO <br /> Hugo, Minnesota 55038 <br /> Attn. : Mr. Bob Burkard, City Clerk <br /> Re: Hugo, Minnesota <br /> Parcel Tracts A, B, C, D <br /> Dear Council Members: <br /> Pursuant to our investigation regarding elevations for the parcel, Tract A, B, <br /> C and D, we are writing this letter. The land described in the various tracts <br /> consist of approximately 10 acres per each abutting to the south right-of-way <br /> line of 170th Street North. Washington County has recently completed their <br /> road improvement on 170th Street alignment, which consisted of excavation, <br /> ditching, roadbeds, base work and bituminous paving. The elevations for 170th <br /> Street North are based on these completed improvements. The elevation of <br /> Horseshoe Lake has been included. The lake is a short distance to the north- <br /> east and on the north side of 170th Street. At the time of the survey, <br /> (October 1974) , the water elevation was 930.33 and the ditchway along the <br /> south side of 170th Street varied from 928.9 to 931.33. At this time of the <br /> year Horseshoe Lake is low in elevation. The elevation has been higher. <br /> The property owners for the various tracts have applied for building permits <br /> to construct residences to be located approximately 500 feet south of 170th <br /> Street. The elevation of the proposed building area is about 4 feet lower <br /> than the roadway, and only slightly higher than the ditch on the south side <br /> of the street. The drainage from the area to the ditchway has little or no <br /> fall. To improve the area by filling will take large quantities of fill. <br /> The area may be affected by the high water elevation of Horseshoe Lake. Con- <br /> struction in the area would require extensive site development and special <br /> consideration of design, foundation elevation, freezing, drainage and waste- <br /> water disposal. <br /> The individual wastewater treatment will consist of septic tanks and drainage <br /> fields. These will require special construction to comply with standards due <br /> to the elevation of the general area with respect to the high water of Horse- <br /> shoe Lake. <br /> -1- <br />
