Community Development Director Gladhill indicated the EDA reviewed this document in July; <br />and will be reviewing a revised version on August 13. Staff is not looking for a specific motion <br />or direction from the Planning Commission at this point. The intent is to simply convey they <br />information to the Planning Commission early in the process in order to frame future policy <br />discussions. That being said, Staff welcomes thoughts on the land use implications of the <br />proposed future improvements shown in the study. Adopting the study in no means obligates the <br />City to any improvements or investments. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill reported it is Staffs perspective, the "Project <br />Financing" portion of this report is the last major outstanding item (page 11). Bolton & Menk <br />would like to receive comments/ amendments to this preliminary report before the "Project <br />Financing" section is completed. Staff intends to direct Bolton & Menk to develop multiple <br />financing options. Staff will also connect with other cities and private developers to identify <br />alternative strategies for assigning costs/ project financing. This report will be in front of the <br />City Council on August 25. Staff requested feedback and direction from the Commission. <br />Commission Business <br />Commissioner Brauer commended staff for their efforts on this report. He appreciated the traffic <br />counts included within the document. <br />Commissioner Andrusko discussed the non -linear relationship between traffic along Trunk <br />Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard. He recommended that the low -density residential and <br />medium -density residential be flipped to allow for single family homes within Area 4. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented that he could investigate the relationship <br />between the traffic counts on Highway 10 and Armstrong Boulevard and would report back to <br />the Commission. <br />Further discussion ensued regarding traffic moving in and around the City of Ramsey. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill indicated that full model build outs and traffic <br />models for the City could be discussed at a future meeting. The Commission supported this <br />recommendation. <br />6. COMMISSION / STAFF INPUT <br />The Staff Update was noted. <br />6.01: Zoning Bulletins <br />Zoning Bulletins were noted. <br />7.
