the City will be asked to adopt that Study, probably in July. At that point, preliminary and final <br />design will occur within the broader Study. <br />Chairperson Levine stated he is trying to understand the timeline of this process. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated the final open house on the Study is June 25, <br />2014, at Greenhaven in Anoka. At that meeting, final comment will be accepted. Those <br />comments will then be provided to regulating agencies so it may be mid -July to the end of July <br />before the City adopts the Study. Community Development Director Gladhill stated he <br />understands that is not the best timing for Village Bank but the City may learn enough through <br />the process by the end of July /early August, where the Planning Commission and City Council <br />could potentially eliminate one of the alternatives and not have to wait for the final Study. <br />Chairperson Levine stated that is what he thought because it could take several months to <br />complete this process. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated if it takes six months, then that is what it takes because it needs to <br />be done right in conjunction with the existing process and one should not be able to drive it one <br />way or the other. He agreed with Commissioner Bauer that the consensus is that the lots along <br />the River are prime lots but as for the rest of it, it is still up in the air. Commissioner Brauer <br />stated this is a prime example of why the City needs the public process because the Planning <br />Commission has heard from one party for using the Rivlyn Avenue approach but not heard from <br />the others. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated the discussion tonight was to provide <br />comment on the Village Bank proposal. He noted there have been many opportunities for public <br />comment on the Highway 10 Study and the land use discussion has also been on going, but <br />mostly related to traffic impacts. Community Development Director Gladhill agreed the process <br />needed to unfold and the discussion was whether some things could run parallel at the same time. <br />Commissioner Nosan stated this is a difficult situation because if the road is put on the north <br />side, all of the businesses will be affected and if on the south side, Village Bank would be <br />affected. She stated she understands the difficult position of Village Bank and asked if there is a <br />way to consider a partial plat for just the lots along the River. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill stated a phased plat could be considered and from <br />that, Village Bank will have to make their economic decisions whether it makes sense to <br />continue the path of developing as residential or instead find a user consistent with the zoning. <br />Mr. Deers stated it is not only their lots but other lots along Rivlyn Street will be impacted if the <br />southern route is chosen. <br />Commissioner Brauer stated this is a Comprehensive Plan amendment so that timeline will be <br />different than for a zoning change. <br />Planning Commission /June 5, 2014 <br />Page 14 of 16 <br />
