A local team comprised of Council representation, Planning, Parks and Economic <br /> 111 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 traffc 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 pos.tive 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 aggreement with the Theater/Office <br /> developer to discuss partnerships over the next 6 months on land affected by the ring roc:. <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 /> t 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 1-42 and Long Lake Road <br /> • Opportunity to tap the expertise of the University of Minnesota Design Center at no <br /> IIIcost to the community. <br /> !1..190/ <br /> p Any Questions-Call City Administrator Chuck Whiting at 717-4001 <br />
