COUNCIL MINUTES February 12, 2007 APPROVED *36 and city staff has spoken with the City of Shoreview to confirm a coordinated approach. The plan is 137 not driven by any development that is on the table but was initiated to get something is place before 138 development comes in. Absolutes identified in the plan are the location of the intersection north of 139 Hodgson and County Road J, two access points established on each side of the main intersection, 140 buildings to each corner with pedestrian improvements, and the requirement for enclosed trash areas. 141 Planner Smyser confirmed that zoning and land use designations don't always match and that is 142 something that should be considered with updating the comprehensive plan.
