• Planning Commission <br /> Memo <br /> TO: Planning Commissioners <br /> FROM: Jim Ericson, Planning Associate <br /> SUBJECT: Walgreens Development Proposal <br /> DATE: March 4, 1998 <br /> At your last meeting on February 18, 1998, the issue of whether or not it would be appropriate to <br /> rezone residential properties and amend the comprehensive plan to allow for the development of a <br /> Walgreens store at the northeast corner of Highway 10 and County Road I was discussed. The <br /> Commission made it clear that a decision regarding the applicant's requests would not be <br /> forthcoming until some point after the next Comprehensive Plan Community Forum meeting, set <br /> for March 11, 1998. It was mentioned, however, that the Commission would like to be kept <br /> 41) apprised of any new information as it becomes available. <br /> The applicant has been in contact with the adjoining property owners and would like to report on . <br /> this aspect of the process. I have been in contact with both MnDOT and Ramsey County traffic <br /> engineers, both of whom expressed some level of concern regarding the proposal. Their <br /> comments, while not available the day this memo was drafted, will be presented and discussed at <br /> your meeting. We have also received copies of the accident data for Highway 10 and the streets <br /> intersecting Highway 10. This has not been included with this memo as it is not in a readable <br /> format. Hopefully I will have this data translated by the night of the meeting. <br /> For the Commission's information, the 60-day date for the rezoning and comp plan amendment <br /> falls on March 30, 1998. I have notified the applicant that the City would be exercising its right <br /> for an additional 60 days, bringing the date by which a final decision is to be reached to May 29, <br /> 1998. <br /> N:\DATA\GROUPS\COIvDEV\DEVCASES\507-97\507-97.PC3 <br /> • <br />
