A local team comprised of Council representation, Planning, Parks and Economic <br /> • Development Commission representation was developed. The rough concept was presented <br /> to the full Council last spring with support to continue drafting ideas taking into consideration <br /> key land use issues and proposed development already in the planning stages. At the same <br /> time the Theater/Office developer had an interest in gaining a signal onto Highway 10 to assist <br /> in providing a better flow of traffic from the site to minimize neighborhood impact. At the <br /> same time, the plans for the Community Center were being developed and a signal at <br /> Edgewood Drive was seen as positive to provide safe and better access to the Community <br /> Center and City Hall. To provide a signalized intersection at Edgewood Drive the road would <br /> need to be realigned which would create a City owned parcel, possibly available for private or <br /> public development. The City Council approved an agreement with the Theater/Office <br /> developer to discuss partnerships over the next 6 months on land affected by the ring road <br /> concept. The Council is not committed to doing anything with them but the agreement opens <br /> the discussion: <br /> Why Now: Three seperate opportunities/issues drive the need to develop a better plan for the <br /> community. <br /> Priority to redevelop Highway 10 Corridor <br /> Theater and office proposal on vacant land across from City Hall and bounded by <br /> Highway 10, County Road H2 and Long Lake Road <br /> C Opportunity to tap the expertise of the University of Minnesota Design Center at no <br /> 110 cost to the community. <br /> li n.., if <br /> f dy Ques Ions call Cr.
