Mr. Tom Donlin indicated general support for Land Banking, but noted a couple of problems. First he indicated transportation will have to be addressed, and secondly schools.

Mr. Brixius noted except for a small portion the land is not zoned. Mr. Mesich indicated then the City still has control over the development that would be constructed. Mr. Brixius indicated this would be correct. Chairman Schaps indicated there is also the possibility that the Met Council might not even accept this MUSA amendment. Ms. Sharon Lane indicated her support for the 20/20 Community Project and felt the City should wait until June when recommendations from the community have been made.
