Planning Commission public hearing and regular meeting minutes dated May 2, 1995. <br /> <br />COMMISSION BUSINESS: <br /> <br />Case gl: <br /> <br />DISCUSS PARK DEDICATION FOR ANOKA ELECTRIC <br />COOPERATIVE ENERGY PARK <br /> <br />Anoka Electric Cooperative (AEC) intends on subdividing 138 acres from their new site for <br />commercial/industrial lots. <br /> <br />They are proposing the dedication of approximately 27 acres of wetland and its shores to be <br />developed with picnic sites and walking paths to serve nearby employment sites and also travelers <br />along County Road #116. <br /> <br />Doug Uhrhammer, AEC, explained that the project has been in the working for 1 1/2 years. AEC <br />is building a 15 million dollar building and "state of the art" business park and would like to give <br />something back to the community by donating the 27 acres to the City and develop it into a rest <br />stop/trail area for the employees of the businesses park as well as residents. He reiterated that AEC <br />has a vested interest in this plan. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhrhammer indicated that he has had conversations with Don Otter, Waste Management, <br />owners of property to the northeast of the AEC site, and that Mr. Otter is happy with the plans. <br /> <br />Mayor Hardin inquired as to provisions for parking at the park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos indicated that it depended on how the park was developed. <br /> <br />Chairperson Hetland questioned how the trail would be paid for and by whom. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhrhammer suggested that over time, an attempt will be made to involve all the industries in <br />the facility to work together to get the trail system in. <br /> <br />Mr. Uhrhammer explained that the City of Anoka wants an 80 foot easement to run transmission <br />lines down the property line between AEC and Waste Management. Mr. Otter and Mr. <br />Uhrhammer are working with the City of Anoka to re-route the lines diverting them to the east side <br />of the Waste Management property line. <br /> <br />Ultimately, a trail system will exist all along County Road #116. Mr. Uhrhammer indicated that <br />access to the facility will be from Ramsey Blvd. and County Road #116 with an exit road to <br />Sunwood Drive. He said there would be no problem putting a road to the trail if needed. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/June 8, 1995 <br /> Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
