The Planning Commission voted to use Terry Hendriksen's I/3/95 draft of the transportation plan update, item #1 entitled "Benefits of the Planning Commission Alternative" as their formal recommendation for land use and transportation. Amend the third paragraph to include that a grade-separated crossing of the railroad tracks is mandatory. Forward to City Council. Notify the Planning Commissioners of the date this goes to Council. Council will be holding a workshop sometime after February 14 to select preferred option for Land Sue and Transportation. Public Hearing will be March 21, 1995. Revise the Recommendation for Land Use and Transportation map as follows: (1) Delete the commemial area in the northern part of the City on Armstrong Boulevard. (2) Change the depiction of the Gun Club to "Quasi-Public Open Space." (3) Include the 20 acres of commercial property on the east boundary of the City which was missing. (4) Display Sunwood Drive accurately. Forward to City Council along with the written recommendation. The Planning Commission directed the following changes be made to the portion of Terry Hendriksen's 1/3/95 draft of the transportation plan update, entitled Shortcomings of the EDC Plan: Delete the last sentence of the first paragraph. The last sentence of item 1 should read "However, he didn't use the Planning Commission proposal, and his comparison contains many inaccurate costs and comparisons." Item 2 should read "The West alternative is actually closer to the midpoint between Highway 101 and 169 river crossings and central to what would become a major retail/commercial area than the east location." The third and fourth sentences of item 3 should read "The residential zoning potential will be replaced by significantly greater commercial development potential. Ramsey should encourage Commercial development because it pays four times the tax revenue of residential development." Submit an amended document, which is to include "Shortcomings of the EDC Plan" (as amended) and "Discrepancies in Gromberg's Report," to City Council as a memorandum from the Land Use/Transportation Plan Subcommittee. Forward to City Council.
