BOX 71 <br /> ANOKA, MINNESOTA 55303 <br /> <br />t'age-3- <br /> <br />llousing is another possible use to which this parcel might be put, but the <br />accompanying reports regarding the site by Hakanson,Anderson Associates <br />indicates a basement could be no deeper than f+ feet, an unusual type of <br />construction in Minnesot'a. In addition, a residence would not seem compatible <br />with all the commercial activity and vehicular travel immediately adjacent on <br />both streets. <br /> <br />Industry, with sewer, heavy road, high water use, and trackage needs, hardly <br />.seems compatible. <br /> <br />I believe this site is unique in that: <br /> <br />1) It is not agriculturally viable <br />2) It has tremendous commercial potential <br />3) It is not surrounded by residences <br />/+) It has no wild and natural value <br />5) It is not a prime park site <br />6) It does not have industrial possibilities <br /> <br />SITE SUITABILITY <br /> <br />As may be seen from the accompanying letter from Hakanson, Anderson <br />hssociates's engineers, addressed to myself, numerous test borings wet~e made <br />on the site and findings made. All of our assumptions and preliminary sketches <br />are based on inspections I have personally made of similar sites and Hakanson, <br />Anderson's opinions. The technology involved is neither experimental, revolu- <br />tionary, nor excessively expensive. <br /> <br />TWO- SITE PROBLEMS <br /> <br />'l'here appear: to be two (2) questions in many people's minds regarding the site, <br />bolh of which are caused by a presumption of high ground water. <br /> <br />t{IGH WATEE - Suitable for Foundations? <br /> <br />The answer to this question is an emphatic YES! Ensineers of Hakanson, <br />Anderson in their letter to myself of January 15, ~_979 states in paragraph 4 <br />that "the site appears, therefore to be suitable for construction of slab on <br />grade type of structures". This is precisely the type of construction we contemplate. <br />It is also the construction method used beneath our present bank, Bob's, and <br />Moroz Hardware, which have similar soil and water conditions, ttIGH GROUND <br />WATER PI~ESENTS NO UNIQUE PI~OBLEMS. <br /> <br />-continued- <br /> <br /> <br />
