Plannin Commission g Memo TO: Planning �ommissioners FROM: Jim Ericson, Planning Associate SUBJECT: Walgreens Development Proposal DATE: March 4, 1998 At your last meeting on February 18, 1998, the issue of whether or not it would be appropriate to rezone residential properties and amend the comprehensive plan to allow for the development of a Walgreens store at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I vc�as discussed. The Commission made it clear that a decision regarding the applicant's requests would not be forthcoming until some point after the ne� Comprehensive Plan Corununity Forum meeting, set for March 11, 1998. It was mentioned, however, that the Commissicn would like to be kept apprised of any new information as it becomes available. The applicant has been in contact with the adjoining property owners and would like to report on this aspect of the process. I have been in contact with both MnDOT and Ramsey County traffic engineers, both of whom expressed some level of concern regarding the proposal. Their comments, while not available the day this memo was drafted, will be presented and discussed at your meeting. We have also received copies of the accident data for Highway 10 and the streets intersecting Highway 10. This has not been included with this memo as it is not in a readable format. Hopefully I will have this data translated by the night of the meeting. For the Commission's information, the 60-day date for the rezoning and comp plan amendment falls on March 30, 1998. I have notified the applicant that the City would be exercising its right for an additional 60 days, bringing the date by which a final decision is to be reached to May 29, 1998.
