Heart of America A letter was handed out at the meeting from Kirk Whalen, Heart of America, requesting if the City would consider revising the Development Agreement with United Properties that would provide the following two directions. 1. If Lake Elmo becomes the Roadway Authority over Hudson Blvd. East of Inwood Ave., that for a period of 30 years, the full turn movement accesses to Heart of America's site would not be revoked. 2. In any event, Lake Elmo would join with Heart of America in using their best efforts to not revoke HOA's full turn movement access with Hudson Blvd. At the meeting, Attorney John Miller reviewed the Development Agreement for Eagle Point Business Park Lot 1,131ock 1, Heart of America Project and made changes. M/S/P Dunn/Armstrong — to postpone consideration until the Council, City Attorney, and staff has the appropriate review time. The Administrator can communicate to HOA that it is not the Council's intent to try to split the road to limit access, but a full turn would be a better opportunity. (Motion passed 5- 0).
