NIr. Bondhus was opposed to the project moving ahead as he felt it was not necessary at this time. I-Ie also felt that the Monticello School District did not feel any urgency in completing the pond to act as a biology or nature center. We did receive word from the school district through Mike Benedetto that the board were not in any hurry to have the pond constructed. Consequently, we are making plans at this time to have the existing excavation filled and the area dressed up and re-seeded. This project, as well as the overall project serving the future proposed industrial park on the Chadwick property. was a topic of discussion at the last industrial development committee meeting. City staff laid out ultimate plans for the new trunk line crossing I-9~4 and servin~~ the southeastern portiun of the comnuulity, as well as the new industrial park area and acting as a reliever for the trunk sanitary sealer at Washington Street and the Burlington Northern Railroad.

P.E Btet A. Weise, P.E. Peter R willenbcing, Y.B. Donald W, Sterna, P E. Ronald B. Bray, P.E. I am writing this letter as a response to our recent discussions about the preparation of a Standard Specification and Design Standards Manual in an effort to streamline the development process within the City of Monticello. The development of these two manuals should eliminate the confusion related to the expectations of the City design standards. A brief description of each of these documents aze described as follows: Standard Specifuation -- The standard specification is intended to be used for all improvement type projects that would involve the extension of utilities and street construction. This specification would include standard bidding documents, contracts, general conditions, detail plates, and construction standards. This document would be updated on a yearly basis and would be distributed to companies doing business within the City ofMonticello, and could be purchased by Contractors working in the City of Monticello for a nominal cost. Private engineers could simply write supplemental specifications to the general specification. The City can be more comfortable that our specifications and standazds are incorporated. This would also reduce the review time from an engineering standpoint. A draft copy of the specification will be provided for your review and comment by November 1. We have provided draft details to John Simola for his review. We would intend to utilize this document starting with the 2001 construction season. • Design Standards Manual -- This manual is intended to be used by all engineers and planners working in the City of Monticello on private development work and site plan preparation. The manual will explain our trunk fee programs, design guidelines and other specific design related information. This guide will also include all standard detail plates and other City specific information. This guide is not intended to replace standard ordinances; however, it should summarize the requirements in one Iocation and make it easier for the • developers to move their projects forward. It is intended that this guide would be available Minneapolis St. Cloud 1>~finso'trttwe Engrieten Planters F:~wpwtN~tiao-se~toi~ogo.wpa EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER OCT-18-2000 10 39 WSB 8 ASSOCIATES INC. 7635411700 P.02i02 Mr. Jefj~'O'Neill City of ManticeUo October l8, 2000 Page 2 for staffreview in early December and would be available for City Council review at their first meeting in January. We are hopeful that the preparation of these documents will aid developers in the development of plans within the City of Monticello. Please provide me with any information you or the rest of the Monticello staff would like to have included in the Design Guide so it can be incorporated in to the draft document. We are very excited about the opportunity to develop these documents and are optimistic that this will prove to be one more step of streamlining the development process within the City of Monticello. Please contact me at (763) 277-5790 if you have any questions or comments regazding the development of these documents. Sincerely, WSB & Associates, InG Bret A. Weiss, P.E.
