Mr. Karth stated the city lost infrastructure improvements so it’s harder to compete with <br />Blaine. The city was on the county CIP for a bridge improvement, but because federal <br />funding was lost on the 49 project when the city council rejected the county’s plan, the <br />bridge reconstruction was removed. <br /> <br />Ms. Divine stated that staff requested the city council have a workshop to present some <br />issues that have risen regarding the Comprehensive Plan. It has become apparent that <br />there are unintended negative consequences that are going to hinder the goals of the plan. <br />Some of the issues include the conflicts between the land use plan and the transportation <br />and sewer plans, and growth limits. Mr. Chase stated that if the city was going to <br />continue restricting housing, the city should take over master planning large areas to <br />ensure it doesn’t get built piecemeal. Mike Grochala requested a joint council and P&Z <br />workshop to present key issues and discuss whether or not it would be appropriate to <br />review the Comp Plan. At this point there is not consensus on the council whether this <br />workshop should take place or whether P&Z should be involved. Mr. Chase said it <br />shouldn’t even be presented to the council until it has been presented to the P&Z, since <br />they are responsible for administering the Comp Plan. It’s the same with EDAC, if <br />everything has to go through the council first, it’s difficult for EDAC to have meaningful <br />input. Mr. Karth suggested EDAC attend this workshop also. Mr. Chase stated the Comp <br />Plan task force was comprised of all the citizen boards. Mr. Juni said all boards should <br />hear an update on the Comp Plan issues. Ms. Schwartz suggested that EDAC support a <br />review of the Compehensive Plan and offer support of EDAC in that review. Mr. Chase <br />said one of the goals of the Comp Plan was to create a good tax base and tax base is not <br />just C/I. All uses are interdependent. Mr. Karth moved to accept the one-year plan <br />with the addition. Mr. Chase seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />It was concluded the plan will be presented to the city council at a work session on June 9 <br />and the June 14 council for approval. The intent is to ask the council to approve the plan <br />as the economic development plan for the city, or explain if there are action items that are <br />not acceptable, so that EDAC has direction. A summary report will be completed to <br />accompany the plan. <br /> <br />BENCHMARK COMMUNITY BUILDER COLLABORATIVE <br />Mr. Juni stated it was valuable to hear from other advisory boards. Mr. Vacha stated it <br />was informational, he was surprised at the long time frame for development. Ms. <br />Schwartz said the Ramsey Town Center was 80% sold. Mr. Chase said it is good to <br />involve the community, and the developer is seeking city support their actions. Mr. Karth <br />stated it is a proactive method, if they just laid a plan before the council, then the <br />naysayers come in and it makes it more difficult for everyone. Mr. Chase said there will <br />be questions regarding residential, that area was designated RBR, but that would be a lot <br />of industrial in one area. Ms. Divine stated there is a strip for medium/high density <br />housing within the site. She stated a concern was raised about having two town centers. <br />This master planning should just be looked at as another opportunity to do good <br />development, and it was an entirely different service area. Ms. Chase stated traditional <br />cities always had different neighborhoods, and it wouldn’t detract from the town center. <br /> 2
