The <br />transfer of land to Medtronic needs to be reviewed by the Planning Commission to ensure <br />consistency with the City’s Comp Plan. <br /> <br />Chair Stevenson stated he was comfortable with this land sale and requested Director Ericson <br />read the resolution. <br /> <br />Director Ericson read Resolution 804-05 indicating on June 27, 2005 Council approved a <br />purchase and redevelopment agreement for the proposed transfer and redevelopment of the <br />Bridges Golf Course to and by Medtronic; on July 11, 2005 Council approved a Comp Plan <br />amendment pertaining to the Bridges site; the new Comp Plan designation for the Bridges site is <br />“office”; Medtronic intends to redevelop the Bridges site as a corporate office campus; <br />Medtronic intends to develop the site preserving the large wetland and improving characteristics <br />and flow of the judicial creek; a corporate office campus is consistent with the newly adopted <br />future land use designation for the Bridges site; therefore, the Planning Commission finds the <br />proposed sale of the Bridges site to Medtronic would be consistent with the Comp Plan and <br />directs Staff to forward the resolution to Council. <br /> <br />MOTION/SECOND: Miller/Stevenson.
