URIVIRSK Sfl[(Sl inc. { -Phone 781-4108 3647 McKinley Street N. E. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55418 March 21, 1972 t °. Quentin Wood, City Engineer New Brighton, . Minnesota Dear Mr. Wood: ' Re: Development plans for site west of Silver Lake Road know as Billman sand pit. }z In accordance with our discussion on Friday, March 17, 1972, we submit the following as a resume of our thinking and planning for the site to date (1) Final plans as to what will be proposed are probably two to three years in the future, but for sure, the final proposal will develop around the formula of best land use for the site in question. To us, some form of planned residential development coupled with some yet to be determined usage along Silver Lake Road (to act as a buffer) appears to be a reasonable approach. We would like to work with--you and your planner, Mr. Charles McGuire, who accompanied you at our last meeting, on this buffer planning along Silver Lake Road. Possibly a nursing home -? home for the aged, or a church would be acceptable. We are y open to any suggestion other then fencing it. xt' (2) The grading plan submitted in August, 1971 seems to be flexible enough to allow for the above type of planning. Basicly, what was proposed is ' a gradual slope from the high elevation on the west side of the site down to Silver Lake Road. Religious adherance to the origanal grading plan will not necessarily be required nor will it necessarily be desirable as overall planning develops. The intent of the plan was to make sure that any borrow pit operation taking place on the site would not foreclose the site to the various options at the time of final planning. (3) We understand that a commitment is desired as to our intent at the pond ?n on our north boundary. For the time being, we will hold in abeyance any final plan for this area, and will agree that no further filling will take place until the final planning is developed. If a P. R. D. is approved, and the density is worked r
