He stressed the importance <br />of reaching as much of a consensus as possible before presentation to the public. He outlined the <br />critical issues of the Plan, noting the need to concentrate on futurity. He mentioned that the park <br />recommendations are very general, and that the mobile home park is identified as such (as <br />opposed to high or medium density residential). He explained that assumptions were made and <br />projections were based on Metropolitan Council recommendations. Although the Plan is not <br />going to meet those guidelines due to development limitations (i.e., wetlands), it will get close. <br /> <br />City Council-Planning Commission Joint Workshop/October 8, 1998 <br /> Page 1 of 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
