Another possibility would be to replat the entire area with lot and block legal descriptions and <br />clarify some property ownership issues such as small parcels of land that appear to benefit no one. <br /> <br />Commissioner Stafki asked if these businesses are in compliance with City Code for the <br />commercial/industrial area. <br /> <br />Mr. Gromberg replied that they were and that many have "Grandfather" rights for their current <br />uses. Most recent City Code has required that by 1997, all of the businesses along Highway #10 <br />have paved parking areas, curbing and gutter. Those things in essence have since had clause on <br />the grandfather rights: This may change dramatically if we work with these businesses in a <br />redevelopment program for this area. <br /> <br />Commissioner Kent stated that many of these businesses may not be the highest and best uses for <br />these properties. If they are not the highest and best use, perhaps we should encourage through <br />the redevelopment program that they may want to relocate or become the highest and best use. <br /> <br />After some discussion, the following recommendations were made to begin this process: Inquire <br />from Mn/DOT as to their plan to encourage closure of private accesses onto Highway #10 and <br />whether or not they offer financial assistance programs for construction of access relocation; <br />determine the average cost for driveways and/or parking areas, including curbing; determine cost <br />of platting this area. Using this information, a plan could then be formulated. <br /> <br />This item will be further discussed on a subsequent EDC agenda. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Nelson and seconded by Commissioner Kent to adjourn the meeting of <br />the Economic Development Commission. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
