We look forward to working with the City on <br /> future expansions. <br /> • TH 371 <br /> We will continue to assist the City in working through all the issues (service roads,city utilities,cost- <br /> sharing,etc.) associated with Mn/DOT's proposed TH 371 through-town four-lane improvements. <br /> Although there have been—and will continue to be—challenging decisions to make,we welcome <br /> the potential opportunities to make Pequot Lakes a better place to live,work, shop,and play. <br /> • W%cGili Sireet and Evenson Road Improvements <br /> These projects are examples of our"measured"involvement,with City staff carrying out some of the <br /> services we would normally like to provide. Clarification of expectations and responsibilities is more <br /> of a challenge with these types of arrangements,but we are open to working with the City in <br /> such situations. <br /> • Various Plat Reviews <br /> With the growth in the area, P&Z has asked us to review several plats.We appreciate the opportunity <br /> to work with the City on coordinating infrastructure with planning and zoning. <br /> 7804 Industrial Park Road ■ PO Box 2720 ■ Baxter, MN 56425-2720 ■ TEL:218.829.51 17 ■ FAX: 218.829.2517 ■ WEB:www.wsn-mn.com <br /> ENGINEERING ARCHITECTURE LAND SURVEYING ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES <br /> AA/EEO <br />
