I I I To-. Bob Kir¢Im~r Ft~n: ~ Stent / Re: Po~lia~ ~fi~ A~t W~ Up 1995 I I I This is my memo outl~,~i,,g thc a~reement that we a~l reached, verbally, last week and that we all a~eed tO foxwa~d to th~ policy boards fox their discussion and approval. This approach Would allow us to:. take maximum ~dvantage of ~ highest and best site development Ol~Otttmities on those two sites; potentially jointly m~tket to at--tire businesat9 (witl~.out highly visible major truck docks and maneuvering areas) that would enhancc thc an~_~e_nlty of the Park e. utrancc; ri:solve ~uy problems that the powerline may cee&to tft~r & f~r marketing trial; nnd preserve thc option to move thc l~wcrltuc to yet another locatioli (~tathcr thaxt thc altcnlativc now being discuased) if development ~vm~ts unfold that wou~d indicate that anoth~ apprenc, h would be bcucr. If we do find a l~oMem in thc marketing and development of this site, wl~ch I am not oompletely convinced that we will find, I would her _that it. is .~uer than 50/50 d~ the '~jo~" rout~ w~n't b~ a good alternative for wlmtever problem surfaces--so we need to allow for that set of unfox~ecn circumstances as well. ! dau't personally believe that the u~cncy foe comtruction of the powerline is what it was once assumed to be, but if we p~oceed forward on any type of peele, ut scl~ule it dmt Reis agreement -,hould be formally in plnc~ in thc near. fum~e. .&hOlm ha~ a vhort term need for "back up" eloc~city supply in the Park Otis Summer which th~ powefline, n Renera~or, or an interconnect could cure. P, egardless of these short term alte?-_-,_tivos, Anoka is focused on doing thc coordination ~ud work necessnry to xeach the longer range goal of having It powedine in place as soon an fe.a~'hle in 199~. An un~clated item that I, as an obs~'v~, believe should be disc~sed by P,.an~cy, AEC. sad Anok~ in the n.e.~r futm~, after thi~ is settled, would bc thc possil~ty of approaching the County to get some priority for the re-construction of County Road 116. Tyl~cally, roads ~cheduled for improvement some years after traffic b~ild-up becomes apparent. In This ca~e, we ~e all working together to p~ducc a ln'c~tictablc and very short teml traffic build-up, which :is not thc normal situation. It would seem prudent, to approach the Counry, immediately, ss :~ m~itcd group and get a solmion to th~ problctn schednlcd nn~ rather than whit for thc inevitable to o~ur. I hol~ d~t th~ is the sul,jcct of anotl~ in th~ future. l~c cell with. any qucstione, correct;one, ,n~&st~on~, etc. m thc specific ~oposcd agre~nent an thc table (following page) au 801-~43-36~g. Thanks for rev~ewin~ this, and have a good Cttristmas and N~-w Years ~oliday?
