Mr. Jankowski agreed, stating he didn't think the City's should base their planning on water supply. Zoning Administrator Frolik inquired whether another option would be to locate the well field in the County Park on the south side of Highway #10. Mr. Jankowski stated that it was possible to place the well field in the County Park. It was the consensus of the Commissions to leave the depiction of the well field off the map. Chairperson Bawden once again suggested taking the suggested land uses of the Economic Development Commission as shown on Figure 7B and applying them to Figure 7. Commissioner Holland inquired whether any of the Economic Development Commissioners had changed their position regarding the eastern bridge. Commissioner Kent stated that he would like to review the information from Dayton. Commissioner Wagner stated he would possibly consider taking the suggestion of putting both bridge options on the map. Commissioner Deemer suggested tabling this discussion to allow the Economic Development Commission to meet with the City of Dayton. Chairperson Bawden inquired on whether the City Council was going to be getting back to the Planning Commission on this subject also. Mr. Gromberg stated he believed the City Council was waiting for a recommendation from the Economic Development Commission and the Planning Commission, even if the Commissions are not in agreement, He suggested they may have to go to City Council with the land uses and two views on road options. Chairperson Bawden and Economic Development Coordinator Gromberg discussed the possibility of not putting any bridge on the map but using verbage that a bridge might occur. Commissioner Hendriksen strongly objected to not putting a bridge on the map. He felt that if Ramsey doesn't make some suggestions, then the County, State, etc. might put something on the map that is far less acceptable than these options. Chairperson Bawden suggested using Figure 4 (the no bridge map) and putting in both bridge options. Commissioner Kent stated that the Commissions are basically trying to hit a moving target and expressed concern about what the citizens want. Commissioner Holland advised that the City will hear from them at the public hearing. Chairperson Bawden and Commissioner Deemer discussed the similar situation of drawing the alignment for 153rd Avenue N.W. 27 years ago and taking the heat from citizens today. This bridge is not coming for at least 15o20 years and things are going to change. Commissioner Holland surmised that the City Council will not let this plan go forward with two options--that they will choose one. However, he felt that if the Commissions could not reach agreement, then both options should be given to City Council for their review. PC/EDC/September 15, 1994 Page 4 of 7
