Potential impacts on Trott Brook are of concern to Elk River because Trott Brook is presently over capacity, which is resultinq in the flooding of property within Elk River. Elk River requests that Ramsey ensure that no increased drainage into Trott Brook will occur as a result of the project, and consider the possibility of taking steps to alleviate the current problem with Trott Brook by reducing existing drainage flows into Trott Brook. 3. Jarvis Street. The DEIS proposes three alternative access concepts for the Project. All of these concepts would require substantial improvements to Jarvis Street, the installation of an automatic gate crossing control system where Jarvis Street crosses the Burlington Northern Railroad, and the construction of a signalized intersection at Jarvis Street and Highway -10. Jarvis Street serves an area of Elk River which is not expected to see significant development for some time. Therefore, Elk River is not- contemplating any significant improvements to Jarvis Street in the foreseeable future. If the project proceeds and substantial improvements to Jarvis Street, including gate crossings and intersection signals, are required, the City of Elk River will not consent to sharing in the cost of these improvements. Therefore, the City of Ramsey and the Project proposer should be aware that Ramsey, and/or the Project, will have to bear the full cost of these improvements if the Project does proceed. We appreciate the opportunity to comment on the DEIS. Questions about these comments can be directed to the undersigned. ve~vc~ Peter K. Beck, for LARKIN, HOFFMAN, DALY & LINDGREN, Ltd.
