Last month, the City approved the River Crossings subdivision, which split <br />the Boike property into three lots in order to facilitate the use of different funding sources to pay <br />for the purchase of the property. In order to preserve the land for the bridge corridor right-of- <br />way, the City must now "officially map" the property to indicate its transportation use in the <br />future. <br /> <br />Staff is proposing to keep the current zoning ofR-2 Medium Density Residential in place for the <br />time being. As part of the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update, staff will request that the River <br />Crossing subdivision be guided for public/quasi-public and zoned accordingly. <br /> <br />This official map will be recorded against the property indicating its future use as part of the <br />Northwest Metro River Crossing right-of-way. In the unlikely event that Anoka County ever <br />sells the property, its use for non-transportation related uses will be severely limited due to the <br />official map. <br /> <br />Citizen Input <br /> <br />There was none. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairperson Nixt, seconded by Commissioner Van Scoy, to close the public hearing. <br /> <br />Planning CommissionlNovember 1, 2007 <br />Page 12 of 14 <br />
