LANDFORM <br />h-s <br />January 16.2002 <br />Ben TImerson <br />Minnesota Department of Transportation <br />1500 West County Road B2 <br />Roseville. MN 55113 <br />Mr. Timerson. <br />I spoke with you earlier this week about the possibility of expanding two existing ponds <br />located in a MN/DOT easement for use in a proposed mixed-use development near the <br />northwest quadrant of U.S. Highway 12 and Willow Drive in Orono. You responded <br />with a phone call stating that typically MN/DOT does not reach this type of agreement <br />with private developers, but would be receptive to a proposal from the City to expand <br />the ponds as long as they are designed to accommodate all drainage from surrounding <br />developments that may enter the ponds in question, and that maintenance and <br />construction responsibilities are transferred to the City or their representative. <br />I would just to lake the time to thank you for your response and notify you that we will <br />be pursuing this issue with the City of Orono in hopes that it agrees that the use of <br />these ponds is beneficial to the proposed development and surrounding area and will <br />take the proper steps to get MN/DOT approval for these actions. If I have, in any way. <br />misunderstood or misinterpreted your phone call or if you have any questions in general <br />about this issue please feel free to contact me. Thank you. <br />Sincerely. <br />. j <br />•M BUTua Mari* iwaixiM »io >fisf'«»f»Hii'i»oatN <br />o«»Ki aia »S3 «oro mi cu 3»a«orr • <br />tc^.WK S»40> <br />iw landfofm n«l
