Wood, Director of Public Works/Engineer RE- Grading of Property West of Silver Lake Road and North< of County Road E Attached-is a letter from Universal Sales Inc., permittee, regarding their thoughts for use of this site. Universal Sales Inc. is a contract purchaser of the property presently owned by Timberline Enterprise§ Inc. (Rod Billman et al). Skyline Builders Inc. proposes to be the developers of the property. Universal Sales Inc. has agreed to a request of the Village to refrain from further grading-of their property until April 1, ,c 1972. During the period of inactivity, Universal Sales was requested to bring forward their plan for development of the area. Their answer which-is-contained in the letter is indef inite at this time.r•?, The Village has made periodic surveys of the excavating and filling to determine compliance with the approved plan. These surveys were brought up to date during this period of inactivity. The present grading plan for which they have been issued a permit has two major control factors--the Minneapolis Reservoir on'the_ west, which is relatively high at an average property line elevation of 1040 to 1060, and Silver Lake Road on the east, whi.ch is lower and varies in elevation from 960 to 980. I,The,grading plan provides that the west portion of the property will be graded down at a 30 percent grade from the Minneapolis Reservoir property to toe of slope elevation of 1000. From the toe of the slope easterly to Silver Lake Road the average slope would be 3 percent or 3 feet in 100 feet. Minneapolis Water Department was contacted prior to issuance of the permit to determine if the 30 percent.slope to their property was accept- able. They stated that it was satisfactory and presented no problem. A
