EDC Minutes <br />November 16, 2007 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br />D. The Mermaid: Director Ericson updated the Commission on the marketing sign that is located on <br />the corner of Hwy 10 and County Road H. The Mermaid’s property owners are advertising a <br /> 1.4-acre parcel that does not currently exist. He explained that the property owners want to <br /> gauge interest in the property prior to creating a new lot and having to go through the entire site <br /> plan review process. <br /> <br />E. Harstad Townhomes (added to the agenda): Director Ericson distributed a press release <br />regarding the award-winning Harstad Townhomes. The townhomes won the Parade of Homes’ <br />Reggie Award and People’s Choice Award. <br /> <br />F. Other (added to the agenda): Commissioner Meehlhause asked Director Ericson about the <br />corner of County Road H2 and Long Lake Road. Director Ericson stated that a swimming pool <br />and tennis courts were supposed to be constructed there but that particular development <br />requirement was waived in response to the current and future townhome owners’ request. <br /> <br />Commissioner Belting mentioned that it would be nice to tour the new Medtronic facility. Director <br />Ericson agreed and that all 4,000 employees may be moved into the new building by early <br />December. Commissioner Johnson added that traffic does not seem to have increased on Long <br />Lake Road as a result of the project. Commissioner Jaker added that traffic seems to be <br />maneuvering well on County Road J as well. <br /> <br />Commissioner Belting thanked Commissioner Jaker again for his service on the EDC. <br /> <br />Commissioner Meehlhause asked for the Commission’s thoughts on Ferrallgas’s request to <br />relocate to Mustang Circle in Mounds View, which is 700 feet from a residential neighborhood. <br />The EDC is not concerned with the company itself however the proposed location is a concern. <br /> <br />Director Ericson reminded the EDC that there will not be a December meeting. <br /> <br /> 8.
